  1. that was a nightmare ordeal, had to start over from checkout point 3 different times, session timed out... first seats were great, second set was good, third probably sucks but fuck it. at least they were cheap (relatively, not secondary market price).

    they seriously need to work on their bandwidth for shit like this 😠

  2. lol i might have won this thread last year...

    mom spent entire 2018 holiday season (thanksgiving thru new year) in hospital with liver failure.

    saturday 12/22, on way to houston to 'celebrate' at mom's house, husband projectile vomited out the car window at 65mph down 290 🤮 bad sign. he was out of commission until Christmas eve. 

    Christmas day, he (having survived) came back to austin to take care of animals, i stayed to be with mom. mid-afternoon in hospital i started feeling...not great 🤢

    by 6pm Christmas day i was alone at mom's house, she was dying at nearby hospital, i'd started my period, and i was having violent stomach flu attacks every 18 mins for the next 8 hours 🤒🤢🤮😭

    thank god a bff was at her sister's place not far away, i finally had to ask for help! 😢

    mom died January 3. 

    WORST.CHRISTMAS.EVER.

    Sugar Bowl was the only bright spot. at least it was really bright.

    Lot of potential Darwin Award winners in the club that night

    i was actually terrified until i remembered this was the LOL thread

    indoor pyrotechnics of ANY kind (other than a giant arena) are pretty much the dumbest idea ever. 

  4. what a shitty take.

    Castro and Booker would be fine candidates IMO, but neither of them are bringing down the house with POC either. or with anybody really. that has nothing to do with Pete.

    jfc i can't even.

    i just don't understand. really, i can't wrap my head around it like at ALL. ~half of my fellow citizens look at that and think Obama is a piece of shit and Trump is a god. how is that our reality? HOW??

    wtf happened to us.

    It's really not hard to see why he named Kennedy and Souter as examples when his opening statement about SC reform mentioned LGBTQ and abortion rights. 

     

     

    no, it's not. this thread can be a beating.

    Since when do black people not like gay people? 

    well, in all honesty...my spouse and extended inlaw family are all POC and they have been saying this for months. every time there's been something on the news about how low his support is among that constituency, my husband has said "i'm telling you, black folks, especially church black folks, don't like that he's gay." 

    i couldn't say whether that's accurate or not.

    What the fuck was that flag for? He didn’t touch anyone.

    he was clearly shoved by a KU player as he was just standing there, hard enough that he fell. and seemed to just lay there for a second. that was a fucked up call. and nobody seemed to care.

    More far right posters in this thread than the entirety of the thread for the moron they actually elected.

    So, there’s that.

    yeah but that has less to do with Tulsi than it does with the moron being completely indefensible in every way. easier to just ignore commenting on anything involving him altogether lol.

  10. anybody dealt with vestibular disease?

    Cass was diagnosed about 6 months ago (we thought she'd had a stroke). it's progressive but generally she's done okay. she spins a lot, and is prone to falling if she tries to move too fast.

    hard determining when is the right time to end it :( she still eats heartily, isn't incontinent, and enjoys being loved on...but some days she's so off kilter we just carry her outside/inside. we've put throw rugs throughout the house so she doesn't slip around so much.

    my other 2 dogs were very sudden, traumatic illnesses. Cass has had several near misses, including aforementioned spleen removal. every time we've thought 'it's time' she's bounced back. 

    anybody ever dealt with this?
