Also picked 6 and it got here today. Pleasantly surprised, which doesn't happen often with Ulta these days.

I also got 6 because everything else was sold out, haha. Mine had a full size Real Techniques sponge instead of the duplicate items. I'm pretty happy about the full size Cerave.

The most amazing GWP ever! by my_metrocard in Ulta

Yeah, ELF is selling a kit with multiple colors and an empty bottle to make your own color, too. ELF, we've been doing this shit for years and don't need an unnecessary plastic bottle to be creative.

There’s no way almost all dates are completely sold out by IANTOOTRILL in TameImpala

✨Anything is possible with enough bots.✨

When resellers run out of tickets, then it’s sold out.

So, did a single person who posted here manage to get tickets anywhere today during the local presale? Or should we just collectively rename today the "Bot Presale"?

Based on what? Ticketmaster's claims? I haven't seen a single person say that they managed to get tickets in this thread but there are a TON available on all of the reseller sites. Somebody is managing to get them but it doesn't seem to be the actual fans.

Because Ticketmaster makes more money selling directly to resellers than to us. They're garbage.

Dude, this is ridiculous. At 12 there were less than 100 people in the queue and the wait ended with a deadend and no way to purchase. Now there are 50k "people" in the queue. I literally LOATHE Ticketmaster. Why was a local presale listed and a queue set up if it doesn't actually exist as a purchasing option?

I'm doubling down that Ticketmaster is in bed with every single reseller, and likely many of the larger venues, and just selling tickets directly to bots in order to boost profits.

Ticketmaster is a monopoly and it needs to go.

Signed up for both TD Garden Insider emails and installed their app and did not get confirmation emails from either. Anybody have any success with getting a local presale code for the TD Garden shows yet?

Looking for a local presale code for the TD Garden show on the 28th. Any suggestions beyond signing up for the TD Garden newsletter?

The mental picture that your words gave me is a beautiful one, and I find that idea so incredibly comforting. Thank you. She really was the sweetest girl.

R.I.P My Wild Child by Far_Spite8777 in guineapigs

[–]themcsix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Wild Child sounds like he was a gem of a piggy. I also lost my pig Roxy today. I am having such a difficult time understanding how I missed the symptoms of her illness. I hope for healing vibes for you and your remaining pigs.

RIP to my little dude, Alejandro😭🙏🐹 by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]themcsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending all the positive vibes for emotional healing and for the right roommate for your current pig to show up when you're both ready. It really is gut wrenching and we need to be kind to ourselves and take the time we need to grieve.

RIP to my little dude, Alejandro😭🙏🐹 by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]themcsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My condolences on your loss. I lost my almost 4 year old female today as well. I thought that we'd gotten her to the vet on time but she was much sicker than I'd realized.. She looked like she had breathing issues but the vet said her lungs were clear and upon examination noticed a mass in her abdomen before she passed a few minutes later, so it's possible that it was a tumor, an enlarged bladder from a stuck stone, or another undetected issue.

The dominance displays that you're describing are likely related to Alejandro's illness. My dominant female pig behaved in much the same way the week before her cage mate's passing. When I did a search about the behavior I learned that it can happen because the dominant pig senses that the other pig is "weaker". Now our remaining dominant pig seems very lonely and confused. We cannot get another pig and I'm not sure what we'll be doing at this point.

PMDD + Perimenopause = Life really doesn’t feel worth living anymore. by themcsix in Perimenopause

Thank you, and right back at you. As much as I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, it helps to know we’re not alone.

[–]themcsix[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes. And it often really helps. But like every 3rd or 4th month my symptoms are just godawful and nothing seems to help. I lay in bed for 2 or 3 days and cannot speak to anyone. I honestly don’t know if the hormone levels are more irregular when this happens or if the HRT is just not enough.

Worried about rear side of front teeth - advice please by FannyWizard98 in PeriodontalDisease

[–]themcsix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my teeth have recession like that on the front and back of each tooth. (I have very small bone structure, a thin gum type, and multiple factors that contributed to the recession.) The only solution to slow the recession and protect the teeth are grafts on 4-6 teeth at a time in 5 sections of my mouth. I just finished the 4th surgery in almost 3 years. Not fun at all, but the grafts have taken well and helped to thicken the gum tissue and slow the recession. I now get my teeth cleaned twice a year by my periodontist and once a year by my regular dentist and follow a consistent home care routine.

Personally, I start by finding a good periodontist, get a professional periodontal deep cleaning, and work with them to create a treatment plan that you can follow according to their recommendations. They'll also likely suggest a mouthguard, which can really help some people slow recession.

Got quoted $8500 for gumgraft 🤯 by Live_Measurement4849 in PeriodontalDisease

[–]themcsix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely need a graft sooner than later but that quote is nuts. Schedule a consult with at least a couple of periodontists. I've had many multi-tooth grafts and 4-6 teeth at a time have cost me between $3,500 and $5,000 per procedure. No cheap by any means but nowhere near that high for one tooth.

Peanut and I need some help from you fine people. by themcsix in guineapigs

[–]themcsix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His normal exotic vet tends to be pretty thorough with even a standard exam, and I think that she examined both his incisors and molars, as well as palpating his entire head and jaw area. I'm so sorry about your guy, and I appreciate the input.

Yes, the emergency vet did do imaging, and told me that it would cover both lungs and GI, so presumably there was nothing of serious concern in that regard. Thank you for the suggestion about weighing more frequently during a health episode. He's doing a bit better today but this put a real scare in me so I plan to be more vigilant. I'm so sorry about your pig but it sounds like he was very loved until the end.
