I Don't Think I Got Ripped Off

A cute guy in a Fed. Ex uniform just delivered my Portland concert tickets. They look legit. Although I ordered them online from Ticketsnow.com-on the top of the page it says Ticketmaster. It also refers to Ticketmaster in the fine print. Jeez, I should've just ordered them from Ticketmaster and sav...

Thanks-the avatar is the special little place in my mind that I go when I need to get the heck out of rainy, gloomy SE Alaska.

I'm positive we'll enjoy the show!

Just my opinion but you only got ripped off if you think you got ripped off. I was asking for input because I've never purchased concert tickets online before, so I have no idea what the going rate is. While searching, I found tickets that cost as high as $1000 and as low as $66. I guess I was just...

I Think I Got Ripped Off

well, at least I hope I didn't. For the first time in my 20+ years of being a Parrothead, I'm finally going to a concert. We'll be flying down from Alaska to Portland to see the show on Oct. 27th. I figured since this will probably be my one in only chance to see him, I would get good seats. For 2 t...

People who live in Alaska often fall into a depressed state during the winter months. It's dark, it's gloomy and the daylight hours are extremely short-causing many people to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol. Saddly, but true, Alaska has the highest suicide rate of all states. Me? I choose to me...

I'd spend a little extra and get a shark or tropical print, good quality Birkenstock sandals. Either that, or buy a pair of plain flip-flops and create my own designs.
