Flea - make sure you have an account, with your payment method, already set-up with Ticketmaster (or whoever is selling the tickets) and log in at least 10 minutes prior to tickets going on sale.

I echo the ear plugs suggestion, even if you go for nosebleed seats. Nothing worse than needing them and not having them. If you don't need them, they didn't take up much space.

Also, I would hope it wouldn't be an issue at a k-pop concert, but arena concerts often include bonus wacky tobaccy. Not much you can do but be forewarned.

We've officially hit the murderous stage.

Yep. You gave them a chance to get out safely...all bets are off now.

Emus are meannnn. One attacked my friend once. [link]

Hahaha! "That's why you have one eye!"

You guys, Ben & Jerrys is going to have Kerfuffle ice cream!!! [link]

I lost it when she started calling the cape buffaloes water moccasins.

sarameg, go to the inhumane traps before you have Danger Mouse run across you in your bed at night like I did.

I am mildly disappointed that Truffle Kerfuffle does not appear to have controversial ingredients. Though I suppose there's always the question of how to pronounce pecan.

Truffle Kerfuffle looks really good.

Things you don't want to hear as you're pulling out of your parking lot on your way to work: The traffic reporter saying "The best bet for everyone is to just not leave your house today." But I'll lose my monthly bonus if I miss anymore unscheduled days this month.

Things you don't want to see as you reach the road up to your office building: The police beginning to block off the road up the hill because how slick it is.

But I'm here, amongst my dry-coughing brethren. We're comparing cold drugs.

Oh Connie, stay safe.

We got about a foot or so of snow overnight and it is still falling. Kelly and C got to work, not sure what adventures they had on their way. CJ got part way to work only to get a call to go home. He said he almost got stuck once and got moving just as a police car was ready to give him a bump/push. Then he helped a couple of people whose cars were stuck in their driveways. Such a good kid. Now he is home, building a fire in our newly cleaned fireplace. I may need to go work downstairs to enjoy the flames.

Separately I have come to theorize that most, if not all, firemen (or aspiring firemen) are pyromaniacs.

I decided this cold to not even try with cold drugs (aside from a toddy before bed). They provide false hope and never make any difference anyway.

That really sucks that you feel like you have to be there when it's not safe, Connie. Our call center in Denver is closed due to weather but last night they set everyone up with what they needed to work at home today.

Also, my company is hiring full stack an backend engineers, and SEiT positions. Offices are in SF, DC, and Chicago. If anybody knows anyone who'd be interested, let me know!! There's a sweet referral bonus.
