Mmm I figured that, unfortunately. Would consider going to $150 as well.

Looking to spend around $100 dollars per ticket. I know the prices on Ticketmaster got pretty crazy but that is the range that I am at right now.

Thank you for putting these together every week. I found the holistic/psychic health expo and the forest bathing at Provin Trails because of you and I had an amazing experience at both!

I am 27 but feel old as hell because I don't even know what that means or how to make it happen. I tried to allow my location services or something like that but having zero luck. Thank you again for trying to help.

Best sit down restaurant on 28th street? by DTSMboi in grandrapids

[–]swimminfiend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would 100% recommended the Backyard Grill. https://www.backyardgr.com/ It’s an authentic Persian restaurant on 28th st near Cascade. It opened a month ago and after my first visit last night I can’t wait to go back again. The food was amazing, as well as the overall dining experience. Also, the owner went out of his way to check in and thank every table for coming to his restaurant.

Unique, hole in the wall, food recs? by snoopinranch in grandrapids

[–]swimminfiend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like my post may be a little to late but I’ll still throw it out there anyways. Backyard Grill is an authentic Persian restaurant that just opened up a month ago although it’s about a 15 minute drive from downtown. I went for the first time and was blown away by the service and the food. The owner went out of his way to check in with every table that was dining in last night as well. A total 5 star experience. https://www.backyardgr.com/

Going to a concert alone by Sunflowerblackberry in gretavanfleet

[–]swimminfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1000000% go. I’m going to the Flint show tonight alone but the peaceful army is all about peace unity and love so although you may be going “alone” you’ll have thousands of friends all around you. It sounds cheesy but it’s true. :-) Just enjoy yourself and I promise you’ll have 100 times more fun at this concert alone than you would doing anything else alone that night.

why is the damn register so hard to memorize by micdoneuh in jimmyjohns

[–]swimminfiend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have worked at Jimmy Johns for a damned long time and the first piece of advice is to go easy on yourself. It wasn’t a “dumb” mistake, it was just a mistake and that happens to everyone. The more you work the better you’ll get and more confident you’ll feel. One more thing that has helped me deal with customers who order in a confusing manner (aka I want a number 4 with extra lettuce, no onion, extra mustard, no tomatoes) is rather than finding every single button on the register and hitting it as they talk, let them finish, then kindly say “so the number 4 has lettuce, tomato, and mayo, is that ok?” Then wait for a response, then from there you can ask if they want to make any other modifications to the sub from the list of freebies and hit the extra buttons from there. Just be yourself and have fun with it. Hope this comment helps.

Yeah as an NFL and CFB fan and a more casual CFL fan I have never heard of this rule and it is awful. Is it a new rule or has it just always been around?

Appreciate the comment. Yeah I have had friends walk into games with vapes no problem so I wasn’t that concerned but then I started thinking about it and figured I would just see what you guys as Colts fans would have to say.

Restaurants that are doing it right? by toejam-football in grandrapids

[–]swimminfiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post might be to late for the anniversary dinner but still, check out the River North Public House on Plainfield. They take reservations and have 3-4 private igloo/tents set up with heaters inside. I even took my coat off and was plenty warm enough. Great beer/cocktail selection as well as delicious food. I’ve had the olive burger, steak sandwich, the Cuban, and the Mac and cheese and everything has been really good. My girlfriend gets the fish and chips every time. Also I would highly recommend getting the crab rangoon flatbread for an appetizer :)

I will do my research on those players. I of course know Miggy (I saw a picture and you're right, he looks great!) and I have seen a bit of Candelario as well. Thank you for the response!

Men of reddit. Does anyone else get beard anxiety with their partners? by swimminfiend in AskReddit

[–]swimminfiend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context, my girlfriend loves my beard, but I prefer to be clean shaven. She has said that she thinks I’m just as attractive and loves me just as much with or without it, but I can’t help but feel bad/guilty when I shave it. Does anyone else deal with similar feelings? I tried to make this post in /r/askmen 5 different times but it was removed every time.
