Hmmm... Does said person also have a restraining order against them because they are a wackadoo?

QUOTE (IChoseFreeWill @ Mar 25 2011, 06:05 AM) Fig Newtons You know those don't really count as fruit, right? I allow myself only one diet soda per day. The rest of the day I drink water (not counting the occasional beer on bowling nights and wine every so often). To transition, I started drinking Vitamin Water Zero. The only flavor I haven't liked is the lemonade. A woman I work with drank seltzer water with a bit of lemon squeezed into it. That way, she got the carbonation but not the sugar & chemicals.

My tickets for April 17th arrived on Saturday (3/26).

What sort of unforseen circumstance would be acceptable to you? I did read on RIAB that Toledo had to be postponed because of the April 1 /2 postponement. If the venue had to postpone for some reason, or maybe there was some sort of equipment issue that couldn't be resolved before the show, saying something along those lines would probably appease most fans. But really, if the band had to postpone for a personal and/or medical reason, they don't "owe it" to you to tell you why. And it would violate the US HIPAA laws...which apply to everyone in the US, citizens or not. I'm not saying that fans don't have the right to be ticked that the shows were postponed. I'd be, especially if I couldn't make the rescheduled show. But to say that we are owed an explanation?

I needed that laugh today!

I'm sorry to hear this. But you have to do what is best for you and for Alex. You're a mama bear...you'll do just fine.

I rarely buy anything at a concert simply because I don't want to have to set it down and risk losing it or it getting damaged. The last thing I bought at a concert was a t-shirt for my mom. I actually snuck out of the venue (or rather...snuck back into the venue) in order to put it in our motorcycle saddlebags.

In which case, she should just give me her spot because I'd certainly put it to good use.

QUOTE (Janie @ Jan 10 2011, 02:52 PM) On RIAB there's a new interview with Alex Lifeson and there's one little blurb that I thought you Geddy Gals would find interesting. I had no idea about this. New Lifeson Interview "Geddy has a flat in London that he bought earlier this year so he intends to spend a lot more time there." In related news... QUOTE The FAA reports an unusual increase of air travel from the US to England by women traveling alone. All seem to suffer from a type of salivary gland disorder as evidenced by the trails of drool that they leave behind.

QUOTE (YYZrocks @ Jan 9 2011, 07:52 PM) Ok, which one of you created this quiz? Are you obsessed with Geddy Lee? I got a 48 too. Huh...thought it'd be higher than that. But I laughed about the description (spelling mistakes aside): QUOTE You are OBSSESSED! You have become totally overpowered my his Gedness!!! Swallowed by his Gedsome force...OH BABY! No go look at your favorite Geddy pics! He he he...you said swallowed!!

Yeah, I go away on girls' weekends too. 1. Every mother's day to a B&B with 3 other girl friends 2. A weekend in August at one of my closest girlfriends' cabin in northern MI (800 pudding shots, 2 cases of beer each - all of it gone by Sunday morning, tubing down the Au Sable River...and we're banned from the only bar in town. Man, it's a great time! ) 3. A 4-7 day trip with my bowling team each summer. It really does help me recharge and enjoy my family time that much more.

QUOTE (briremo @ Oct 12 2010, 11:07 AM) As far as going away, I would love to get her away! Our kids are 12 & 14 and she has litterally been away from them three times in that time. We have frequent flyer miles, we have the resources for a little get away but she just won't do it. She says we can do that after the kids are gone. And look, I love spending as much time as I can with the boys, they are a blast, but seriously. One weekend in 14 years? We need some time away for the two of us. OK, you have 100% of my sympathies there. You are right...one trip alone in 14 years is not enough. My hubby & I try to get away for weekends alone at least twice a year. Before our second daughter was born, we went away on extra looong weekends together to reconnect. We are in the process of planning a long weekend to Vegas for our 15th anniversary next May. (Hoping to put the sin back in Sin City. ) And as for her comment that you can do all that after the kids are gone... Well, by then it might be too late. You need to reconnect now. Because when the kids are gone, you may just find that you have nothing to do with each other anymore. Yes, it's great that you take family vacations together. But quite frankly, I think its good for kids to see that Mom & Dad love each other enough to want to spend time alone. Could you have a very trusted friend of hers watch the kids and arrange a night or weekend away? Book a nice hotel room - even if it's local - schedule spa treatments, dinner at some place fabulous, go watch a dreaded chick flick (if those are your wife's style).
