  • Every Time I Die. It was a very small venue, the stage was like 2 feet off the ground and I was front row. No barriers or bodyguards, you could just reach out and touch them. The ceiling had pretty low beams and people were hanging from them at times.

    They let people on the stage and if they lingered too long, theyd shove them off. They put on a wild show, interacting with everyone and just going crazy. That venue didn’t last long, it was open for 2 years and shut down after a zoning violation and some other issues.

    Honestly I’ve never had that much fun at another show. I’ve been blown away by several performances, but the energy has never topped that one.



  • I know it probably doesn’t mean a whole lot since I’m just a stranger on the internet, but I’m proud of you for making it through all of this without a drink. I’m proud that you reached out for help and encouragement. I’m proud that you are trying.

    Whenever things fall apart, I tell myself that I have to endure the rough times in order to fully appreciate the good. It’s kind of cheesy, but it always makes me feel a little bit better.

    Maybe try filling your spare time with learning something new, if you have the energy to do it. It could be something really easy like a new hobby (and maybe you could meet someone through that instead of at a social gathering with alcohol?), or it could be learning to code or something. There’s lots of free resources out there.

    I’ve been trying to learn a new language and I find it keeps me distracted from thinking about things.

    You got this for today!



  • I’ve ordered from them a few times. I wanted to see how bad the products are and they give new members a pretty good deal.

    The products are generally better than wish, but they are still hit or miss. Think dollar tree quality for most things. I can’t recommend electronics. Most of them are extremely cheap and won’t last. There is a lot of etsy art/designs stolen and resold. Prints tend to be lesser quality because they don’t have access to the original files.

    They will spam you with notifications/emails whatever else they can and constantly tell you there are deals to get free things, but most of the time it stops you from getting the free item without inviting people or making multiple orders. Many of their big coupon offers they advertise like $200 off coupon is actually multiple little coupons that equal $200 off, but you’d need to spend hundreds to actually redeem them all.

    Still, I’ve gotten some things from there that aren’t bad. Those cardboard cat scratchers? You can find them for 1/3rd of the price and they are the same quality as any major store.

    I will always recommend to shop local if you can, but a lot of us don’t have that choice, and some of us can’t afford it anyways.

  • I always hate it when certain characters and quests in games don’t have as many options as other ones. It feels bad when you can’t save or help a character you really like, especially if there’s 100% a way it would work in the story, if it had been written in.

    It seems to happen more often with animals and beasts. I really like dragons too, so it sucks that the only dragon isn’t able to be saved. I haven’t played BG3 yet. I remember being able to help a dragon in Divinity II, and not too far into the game either. If you haven’t played that, you could give it a try.
