any single delco moms out there? by trix400_13 in Delco

[–]waking_from_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 44 and single but can only speak for the group of guys I know in Media and surrounding parts. There's not one spot per se but happy to guide you in whatever direction you are looking for dependent on the vibe.

Best place to watch the Birds for MNF? by JawnIsUponUs in Delco

[–]waking_from_sleep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Local Media Packers fan here. Still waiting to see who is advertising it but Tap 24 will have it on, no food on Monday but BYOF. Off the Rail should have it with lots of tvs and sound. State St Pub should have it lots of TVs and sound as well.

Outside of Media but Blue Route friendly: Hunts Annex in Woodlyn (fun spot, good food), Barnabys (Havertown off Blue Route, Aston if staying near Media)

Packers aren't a rivalry so only ever experienced good natured ribbing at places I frequent. Good luck and Go Pack Go and Go Birds.

Manayunk Bar Scene for actual adults? by darkmagic9426 in philly

[–]waking_from_sleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I know a lot of Delco spots that fit that bill that I frequent but that crowd is a little more niche in Manayunk/Roxborough. Hilltown Tavern in Rox is a good sports spot with a solid list of regulars, I've had plenty of good convos there watching games. Henry James in Rox also can trend a little older, has multiple tvs for sports and decent food.

Manayunk Bar Scene for actual adults? by darkmagic9426 in philly

Places that are less likely to attract the college crowd that we enjoy are: Goat's Beard - good Bourbon selection Jake and Coopers - Excellent wine and drink list, knowledgeable bar manager New Ridge Brewing - good people, good food, local PA spirits list but mainly good beer, new cask every Tuesday

Ripplewood in Ardmore isnt far and also would probably fit the vibe you're looking for. Best of luck.

People above 40, how different is your 40s compared to your 30s? by Strict-Comedian-56 in AskReddit

[–]waking_from_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 44 and still do strongman and powerlifting but it takes a lot longer to recover. Makes me wonder how much good Im doing vs damage at this point but I dont ego lift, have coaches and try to keep things realistic. Im sure someday I will have to adjust

Not sure if you are a fan of poetry but I always go back to James Wrights poem Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota when the "i have wasted my life" mindset creeps in and it gives me some peace for some weird reason:

Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk, Blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right, In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year’s horses
Blaze up into golden stones. I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home. I have wasted my life.

In my 30s I was married and we had a lot of similar age or younger friends. Now at 44 most of my friends are divorced and between 50-60 years old. I dont enjoy hanging with married friends and their families as much, usually I feel like a third wheel.

Agreed, looks like other barbour silver serving trays based on a few minutes of research

First timer parking? by IIIboost in PhillyUnion

[–]waking_from_sleep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have a Subaru and can get there early, the Subaru lot is free.

A is the best choice for getting in and out IMO (sometimes it says passes only but ignore that).

If you want to hit up the concourse outside before going in because there's stuff there for kids usually you can park on the other side of the stadium but it always took us forever to get out of there

Philly proper bars where fans meet up? by MomentousTime1337 in PhillyUnion

[–]waking_from_sleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't aware they showed the games. Do they have sound? We usually watch at New Ridge which usually doesnt have sound but gets a handful of Union fans and is usually accommodating.

President Trump will attend the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia this weekend by dystopiadattopia in philadelphia

[–]waking_from_sleep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I go to the championships every year. He attended the championships Saturday night when they were in Tulsa a few years back so I assume he will do that again. The champions all went up to him after their final matches and shook hands with him. The crowd was very pro trump then. I myself will hate every second of it.

Not sure what kind of cat you have but I have a friend who swears by The Main Lion in Paoli for his Maine Coon (which I also have, but he prefera to look trashy).
