Since Outside Lands I’ve been wanting to dance so much more. 55F, love all things afrobeats , EDM, also back into my 80s indie bands again rn. Suggestions? Anyone else out there older and going out dancing?. I know about Days Like This, looking for other suggestions. Also have a fantasy of silent discos at like the presidio or aquatic park or berkeley marina…
He posted tonite that he’s quite sick. Have tickets for SF Friday. But I really hope he rests if he needs to.
I know cigarettes are back but do you actually have to smoke leaning against the ADA section next to a bunch of people with health issues? 😩
Maybe it’s pure coincidental timing but I don’t think so . Since starting LDN some months ago my health has absolutely tanked. I’m on it for cervical /thoracic pain but it’s led to extreme fatigue (can’t function after 4pm at all and have had to call in sick 1-2 days a week), cognitive and mood issues, and weight gain. It didn’t touch the pain at all. Weirdly I stopped taking it Sunday and the pain has lessened rather than increased which I don’t understand. But everything else, the fatigue etc is off the charts. Sitting here sobbing because it all feels so out of control. Dr and I decided I should get back in to and trial 12 more weeks but I don’t know that I want to touch it again. Yes I know maybe I should have been staying at a much lower dose than prescribed but it wasn’t doing a thing for the pain and it was still wrecking my health at tiny doses. Help! :( anyone else go through this? Dr now wants to trial nortriptaline but I definitely don’t want to do both at same time.
OMG it’s just occurred to me that I am nearly *twice* NK’s age 😳 and still his lyrics speak to me profoundly. How is that even possible? I can’t think of any songwriter, author, actor even close to that age who I relate to in any way. I mean he’s only a few years older than my kids. They’re awesome and one’s a big fan but I can’t imagine them penning these lyrics. He’s an old soul I guess?
I landed a ticket through work but they won’t give another for a companion so I’m going solo for the first year ever. 55F, OSL veteran, traveling from Oakland, mostly excited for Sat and Sun. Any other older bitches going solo?
Lived in same place in berkeley for ten years. Landlords became progressively more harassing and a PITA and long story but I moved out under a lot of stress and pressure in Jan this year. They then did the bathroom remodeling I’d been asking for for ten years and upped the rent by an astronomical amount. I see that the unit is still sitting empty 8 months later. They lost an excellent long term tenant who would have stayed another ten years and instead pushed me out and lost a ton of money in the process. Sigh.
Random q but anyone know where we can go raise a glass for Glen and sing his songs? SF or east bay. RIP sweet soul 💔😢💔
Reccs for safe but affordable place to stay for a night that’s easy travel to/from T-Mobile as well as SeaTac?? And reccs for ways to spend an afternoon pre concert? (August)
If you had to choose ONE day which would it be? I’m into allllll kinds of music, DJs, and good vibes. Having a tough time deciding.
I lived in nyc late 90s and have a lot of friends and colleagues there, have continued to visit but haven’t been since the pandemic. I’ve been in the Bay Area all this time but miss it so much. I’m a Londoner and NYC is closer to my heart culturally and also being physically closer to the uk would be great. I outgrew the bay a long time ago. I have 12 yrs left til retirement, currently have a decent salary and a pension. I’m considering a job in manhattan but the top pay is significantly lower and there’s no pension. Still it’s about as good as it gets in my field in nyc and if I was ever going to make the move this would be my opportunity. Is this sacrifice worth it or foolish and is a decent studio in queens, brooklyn, Washington heights manageable on this salary while saving for retirement? I know that’s a broad question…
Considering coming to Maine this week for my bday. Haven’t been in years but ex in laws were in kennebunkport so I know that area very well. Looking at either there or boothbay area which I don’t know. Hoping for a quiet few days to swim, kayak, birdwatching, hike, read and draw. Is it swimming weather yet? Crowds insane? Any suggestions of good spots? Or would I be better off coming after Labor Day?
Hey bitches. Have a significant bday coming up next week. It will be my first ever without kids or dog and nobody is around that I’d want to spend it with. I took a few days off with the idea of maybe going away for few days but I have a neck injury and can’t drive too far so I’m a bit stumped. Camping is also out rn sadly. I may just give myself a day off and try and make it special but honestly I’m stuck for ideas. Been dealing w chronic pain/injury for over two years that stops me doing a lot of what I love, and this past yr has been especially rough. Would appreciate any suggestions that you all may have.
Titrated up over weeks, have been at 3mg for a couple weeks now en working up to 4.5. First couple weeks had severe fatigue and some crying spells but other than that was doing ok.
Now I am feeling a whole host of things and unsure what’s related to LDN and what isn’t.
The biggest feeling is, I don’t know how else to put it, but feeling done with everything. Not depressed exactly, not tired, just like I need everything in my life to change immediately. I have no tolerance for bs.
It’s like it unleashed everything I’ve been holding back for years. Does that make any sense?
I’ve also noticed I absolutely cannot have large amounts of sugar while on this - did this yesterday and my pain increased by like 10x , I felt nauseous, dizzy all of it.
And I’ve had these weird moments where I feel almost dissociated - like I’ll be in a room and suddenly not know what’s up/down, where the door is or was, which way everything is oriented. I don’t know how else to explain it. A bit like being stoned but not in a good way. It doesn’t last long but it’s unsettling and much worse if I have coffee or sugar.
And then there’s doing really weird things like pouring water from the kettle into my cereal instead of my mug, or today getting food at the cafeteria and walking straight out without paying…eek.
I don’t know if these things are related to the LDN or my high levels of stress, the pain impacting my cognition (severe cervical stenosis and cervical instability), or early onset dementia or what the heck is going on? I am not going to go back down I think I need to give myself the chance of getting to 4.5 because the pain hasn’t been impacted at all yet.
Anyone ever work/intern in Costa Rica business/corporate? Daughter is spending summer there and has no clue what types of clothes to bring. Help!
