The guy selling Taylor Swift tickets in that other thread is making me feel really cheap. I'm so glad I went to as many concerts as I did when I was younger. No way in hell I could afford what some artists charge nowadays. Heck, even though I could afford to go, I just couldn't pay that much outta principle.

I guess the haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate.
 
I am really tired. I had an ongoing meltdown at work with several co-workers joining in yesterday. Even my one even tempered co-worker who sometimes thinks I am a little “too intense” dropped a couple f-bombs. We were all frustrated as hell with our division office.

I feel like a hurricane that has hit land and just blew it’s self out. Earlier this afternoon people were still asking "How the hell much coffee did you drink today???". Now I am just ready for a beer or a nap or something.

One of the reasons I'm glad I'm a fan of lesser known artists, for the most part. Heck, I went to a Black virus concert before they got big for 25 bucks. The next year when they came back to Indiana. After El Camino came out, it was 65 bucks.

Even lesser know are getting more expensive though. Grace Potter in July was 25, Colin Hay was 30, Todd Snider was 40. Heck, in 2004 I thought 75 was ridiculous for Paul McCartney. I can imagine spending 300-500 dollars for a U2 concert. Both because that's a lot of money and because U2 sucks.

Also, I expect Nickels to comment on this, as that woman would be more than happy spending her life savings going to concerts.
 
I was browsing the vaping thread and started thinking. I never had a desire to smoke cigarettes. I admittedly fell into the peer pressure and drank while I was younger, but cigarettes never had any appeal at all. I've never taken a puff from one.

My parents and my sibs never smoked when I was growing up. About all of my aunts chain smoked, and I remembered hating going to their houses or riding in a car with them. I guess I should thank them for keeping me away from them.

Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister are/were pack a day smokers. I can't stand them. I do smoke hookah now though but I lasted until I was 18 before I smoked anything. Was a cigar with my Dad when I went off to college.
 
So I'm usually a mobile FB user. I don't have the app, I just use it through Chrome.

Has anyone else notice posts showing up in their feed multiple times if someone you're not friends with comments on it? Is that settings on their part or my part, or am I just a touch crazy?

Nope. Though I only check FB like once a week and I skip most of what I see
 
Scrap and tape done, painting tomorrow if weather cooperates. I'll be glad to have this project finished.

I just can't justify exorbitant expenses on 'experiences' that are gone. I'd much rather buy something that gives me capability...this, combined with my love for meat products, probably accounts for the fact that I am now "down to" 2 grills and a smoker, a meat grinder, slicer, food dehydrator, sausage stuffer and meat mixer, and a homebrew setup plus kegs and a dedicated beer fridge and lagering freezer. We all have our soft spots, I just prefer things that I can use more than once.
 
I thought the email I sent late in the day to the losers who are screwing everything up was pretty diplomatic. Stopped in the chat with our lawyer on the way out and he thought I came off more like this:

Mrs00 has been watching this show on Hulu, Live free or Die, it's these people that live out in the woods and stuff. There's this hippie couple that are 'homesteading' a hillside in the blue ridge mountains, terracing and gardening it. So they show the dude (who is also outkicking his coverage) peeing in a plastic jar, then he puts the lid on the jar, carries it up the hill, takes the lid off the jar, and pours it on his trees for fertilizer, splashing it all over his boots...talking about how much nitrogen it has and how it's natural fertilizer like he's all smart and mother nature-y and stuff. I'm like, dude, if you were so smart, you'd have cut out all that screwing around with the jar and just whizzed on the tree directly.

Maybe humans are different, but if my dog taught me anything, it's that **** kills plants?
