    First Date

    I heard about that list on the radio this morning. I think it's a little extreme. In my single days, ice cream date, coffee date, or a sporting event would have been just fine. And I really didn't care where we ate (some of us were on a budget back then, so sometimes cheap is necessary). Movie...

    Why is life worth living?

    A little tidbit I'll add here for bad days: - If you think you hate everyone, have a snack. - If you think everyone hates you, take a nap. - If you think you hate yourself, take a shower. I stole it from a friend, and obviously, this isn't a cure all or even a replacement for actual...

    How long until this thread is caved? Even though that would be ridiculous.

    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Baby steps. It sounds like you're on the right path. Losing weight won't be a straight line. It'll be a lot of up and down.

    Why is life worth living?

    I just have to say I love this thread. Other threads are often filled with banter (some not so friendly), but this one is like a big hug and support network. Very refreshing. And reminder that not everything on CF is toxic.

    ***2023-24 MLB Off-Season Thread***

    I saw a graphic earlier -- in 2021, TX and ARI combined for 212 losses. Now they're both in the World Series. I don't think anyone saw this matchup coming at the beginning of the season. Or even the beginning of the postseason. It probably won't get great ratings, but that'd be a shame. Both...

    On That Note: Hello, Baaaaay-beee!

    Take the phone calls Take this circus Take the drama 'Cause baby it's just worthless // You sounded so good on the phone All moved up and all moved on // I tried to call you up But when you're mad at me you don't even pick up the phone

    My husband got two weeks. I still couldn't drive a car (due to pain meds and recovery) and he was back at work.

    I got eight weeks because I had a c-section. It would have been six weeks otherwise. I used three weeks of PTO to extend my time. It really wasn't enough. Parental leave in this country sucks.

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    If Andy does indeed complain about ISU fans, maybe he's reacting to bad experiences with ISU fans. We know bad fans exist. And they can be quite noisy and persistent.

    Cold Brew by Northern Vessel

    I don't see anything about citrus flavor being added. However, some blends of coffee do have citrus notes.

    Friday OT #1 - This Ain’t No Miss Club, or CBGB

    I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any events advertised there in a very long time. I think flooding in 2018 caused some issues and they just never got back to it. Not sure if this is accurate, but it shows the last event there as 7/27/18 ---...

    Friday OT #1 - This Ain’t No Miss Club, or CBGB

    Sadly, I don't think they do shows there anymore. But it was a great spot for a show. One of my favorite venues is SPACE in Evanston, IL. Red Rocks and The Gorge are on my bucket list.

    I don't think so. I think they just don't care. They just collect their six figures and don't worry about the people who help get it there. I know that's corporate America, and I won't quit my job because I like it, but I can let upper management know I think they can do better.
