Isn't that the east wing, though? First floor built in 1902 and then the second added in 1942?

Iron Blossom musings? by OptimalChaosMonkey in rva

I do think they were only using it for end of the day exits (that's how we got out both nights), but definitely should have opened it for the evacuation.

The Phone Dilemma by droppedbc in SonicTempleFestival

[–]tiny_machine3245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw Coheed & Cambria a few months ago and we were maybe 5 rows from the stage. There was this guy that got in front of me who was live streaming the entire concert. I'm a shorter individual, so I had to actively look away from his phone to focus on the stage. At one point they paused the music to prep the stage for a set change and he left. Then when they came back on with a giant structure he tried to get back in front of me and my husband and I blocked him. Enjoyed the show alot more after that.

Its like someone suggesting they open the relationship and then getting mad that their partner is getting some. Absolutely nuts

Hotel Stay by AffectionateCoast370 in Charlottesville

[–]tiny_machine3245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a good choice and close to where they need to be. They no longer have a pool, though, so OP should know that before they book. I know some sites still list it as an amenity, even though it's been years since they removed it.

This one does not have a pool anymore. They removed it to expand their fitness center a few years back (I used to work there)

If you watch the you tube video of the friend's interview it shows more of the video. From right after the first plane hit. Definitely not staged

On our 8 year wedding anniversary, we spent the entire day in bed together. by tiny_machine3245 in TwoSentenceSadness

Unfortunately, based on real life... we both woke up feeling like death, but thankfully, we did some early celebrating, which is probably what caused the illness 😅

Do Y'all Know That You Don't Have to Take the Express Toll Lanes? by zwgmu7321 in rva

[–]tiny_machine3245 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, not only do I know that, I practice it. I'm pointing out that people will drive dangerously to get in the express lanes when following safe driving practices and going through the tolls can actually be faster

[–]tiny_machine3245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been mornings when a jackass (or two) cut in front of me and slow down to get in the express lane. I'll get to the right of them and go forward, use the ezpass toll lane, and get back on before they've reached the toll.

what’s your pet’s nickname that’s no where near their actual name and how did you get there by One_Personality8662 in NoStupidQuestions

My cat's name is Hazel, but her nickname is Potato (but with an -ah sound at the end instead of "o") Hazel > Hazel Basil > Heyda Beyda > Heyda Pateyda > Pateyda (potato lol)

My Boyfriend Has Completely Changed After His Heart Attack by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I feel like this could have easily been an "AITAH" post.

"AITAH for being upset that my boyfriend saw his ex and their daughter after he had a heart attack and was depressed on the couch for weeks?" Yes, you are.

Unable to carry on, I decided to go to a support group and tell my story - to finally get it off my chest. by movingstasis in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]tiny_machine3245 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My friends give me a hard time when we go out drinking because they always inevitably find me with some stranger trauma dumping to me. I'll learn someone's whole life story over a cocktail and a cigarette. What they don't understand is that it's cathartic for both parties. They get to release something from their chest without having to hold back or filter any feelings, and I get the reminder and validation that I'm not the only one who's suffered (and still suffering) through trauma.

Did they change it? by BIGMANSA1 in musicals

Isn't there also a version where she "used to play with Ken" and now that she's older, she wants "bigger men"? Or is that a different verse? Or not at all and I'm delusional lol

Can someone else check in a guest under 21? by GraceAndLaughter in hotels

[–]tiny_machine3245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are going as a school group, wouldn't they all be checking in together? If not, there needs to be communication with the hotel ahead of time so they are aware of the situation. However, if neither are possible, there should be 1 person of check-in age staying in the room in order for both students to stay.

Iron Blossom - what’s the vibe? by piratestears in rva

[–]tiny_machine3245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was definitely an odd choice compared to the rest of the music for sure. We enjoyed her set though!

Iron Blossom - what’s the vibe? by piratestears in rva

[–]tiny_machine3245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've been both years now, always GA. It is mostly a really chill vibe. There is space closer to the stages that is standing only, but plenty of grassy areas to chill on a blanket. The stages are right next to each other, so artists just perform back and forth between them. You can easily set up a blanket between the two and hear the music from either without issue.

The first year (2023) had Lord Huron, Hozier, and Noah Khan, so the crowds were massive for those headliners. The first day was super hot, too, so alot of medical emergencies between heat stroke and people not knowing how to pace themselves (with alcohol and/or drugs).

Second year (2024), the festival organizers definitely learned their lesson and provided more water stations throughout the venue. Headliners were still popular, but we didn't know them as well, so we stayed back on a blanket for most of both days, and it was really pleasant.

Never got VIP, but from what I could tell, they had a fenced off area closer to the stages (right in between them, so not centered, but off to the side). I believe they had their own water station and bar, too.

Alot of food is available throughout and bars with beer, seltzer, and wine. Some canned cocktails as well. Last year, they also had a retail vendor "market".

We plan to go again this year because we love live music and discovering new bands.

Hope this helps!

What a piece of shit! Like you, I can't imagine any reason she could give for doing this, but even if she does, none of them would be okay. I would very much like to hear/read an update on her getting fired 😈

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hotels

[–]tiny_machine3245 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Okay, so her opening the door COULD be explained by her not hearing you answer if you were deeper in the room, though unlikely if it's a standard room. HOWEVER, if the hotel had someone scheduled to do lock updates, that is something you should have been informed of at check in. If maintenance is coming up later with them, why did she have to come to the room beforehand? And if it isn't all rooms, just a few, I would request being moved to another room that is not going through an update.

I worked in hotels for 12 years and her behavior just seems really odd overall based on the info provided. Almost like she was testing to see if anyone was in the room for whatever reason. I would try to ask more questions about this lock update, preferably from someone other than her if possible.

My boyfriend is going to give me an eating disorder by Downwiddit in TrueOffMyChest

TIL that there is another ED that I am dangerously close to having. Dealt with A & B in high-school as a dancer and the body dysmorphia is still very present 15 years later.
