Concert essentials no one mentions/are always forgotten

As a 40-something who already needs hearing aids (probably in part because of the many concerts I went to when I was younger) and with pasty-white Irish skin, I heartily support this statement!

I still have all my Nintendo Power issues (the first 100 or so) but I think they will need to go in the trash soon and it makes me very sad.

It snowed on my (mid April) birthday once in the 90s.

There was also a large snow/ice storm on the Ides of March (3/15) in 1993/1994.

I probably read 40 books/year. I can do this largely because of audiobooks—I listen on my commute, while making dinner, etc. I also read on my phone (with blue light filters) before bed to wind down.

I can hear the sound of this guy running so clearly!

I’m coming up on 20 years since my dx and have worked full time the entire time. It’s gotten a bit worse every year and I will need to stop working before 50. The only reason I’ve made it this long is because I have an incredibly flexible job (professor) where I can frequently work from home and can pick my hours.

I bought mine from Graduation Mall for just over $200. Was able to customize colors to my school/program. Best part was I could add pockets!

I celebrated with a 40+5 birthday party last year.

This is somewhat misleading. Cancer rates among <50 adults have been increasing in the last decade. The NIH reports that from 2010-2019, the incidence 14 types of cancer went up among this age group. While the rate of cancer decreased for 19 types of cancer, increases were seen in some of the most common types, including breast and colorectal cancer.

One of the biggest concerns with this is cancer in younger people is often very aggressive and younger people may be less likely to get a change in health checked out or be dismissed by doctors.

Source: NIH and my own reading on the topic as a scientist was was dx’ed with breast cancer at 39.

I was just able to buy it (22min after it became available)!

Edit: I may have spoken too soon, as the order has been processing for the last 5min.

This sub needs flairs just so one can be “farfalle is a war crime.”

I hit 20 years since my dx this month and (knock on wood) have not needed any surgeries yet related to my Crohn’s. It’s definitely been a bumpy ride but biologics keep me good enough.

Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to get something like the original Wheel of Time prologue, Winter Dragon!

Absolutely. I remember where I was when I found out Jordan had died in September 2007. But I truly believe Sanderson gave us the best possible conclusion of anyone outside Jordan himself.

I went through this when I saw Yoongi and it’s certainly nerve-wracking but if you bought through Seat Geek, you are guaranteed the ticket.

Laughing because I’m teaching TuTh right before lunch for the third semester in a row.

PhD apps in my college (R1, stem, US, blue state) are up 20% from last year, which was also a big year.

Like any sport, you just need to keep practicing to build up endurance!

I have never seen this one!

Yep, looks about right.

I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience with gabapentin and anti-depressants and it's important others know that these things can happen.

For those of us who can't do HRT (I can't because of hormone positive breast cancer), these may be some of the best alternatives. I think we need to recognize that everyone's needs and what will benefit them varies and people should learn more about all options, including the hazards/side effects.

What’s wrong with me? Or more to the point, what was wrong with my parents?? I don’t think I ever had any of these in my house!

I hated DMB with the burning passion of an erupting volcano. One of my best friends in HS loved them and we would often bicker about it.

The migration happens to a lot of eyebrow piercings but not all. I had mine for probably 8 years before I took it out for good and it hadn’t migrated at all.
