I am used to shadow boxing alone , my wife baby sits a lot .....oh man she just finished a 10 day stint baby sitting ....the food was great , I was bringing in all kinds of stuff , the sex was about the same , maybe better , but the dishes were a tip off she wasn’t here .....I use paper for everything..I won’t dare eat off anything I wash until it is professionally cleaned.
The only way she would let me eat the rib platter I brought home was if they used Lipitor as a dry rub. Lol
Okay, now that was gold. Wow. Still laughing.
Yep, that was hilarious.
As far as the concerts go, I can't believe anyone over 50 goes to those things anymore. My last concert was 2 years ago; we saw the Foo Fighters at Wrigley Field and afterwards I swore I would never go to another. We had earplugs and my ears were still ringing for days. I told the GF we could have simply sat in my backyard (40 miles form the stadium) and heard it just fine. $13 beers, 30 minute lines for the bathroom, and the seats were expensive, but thankfully not anywhere near $600. There was nothing fun about the experience. [/oldfart]
I go to a fair amount of music festivals -- great experience at great value. I can spend $100 for one with music Friday to Sunday. At least 35 hours of music being played on three different stages at once. Plus, other late, late night / early, early morning music.
Many of the bands are nationally known.
A few years ago I saw a country band in a tiny club. And, the guitarist had his Marshall amp turned up way, way, way too loud for a place that small. I left telling myself for times like that I needed to wear ear protection.
I tried to find something appropriate at Amazon but could not decide what was best. So I bought four or five different ones for about $70 total. Decided I did not want to put any more time into narrowing them down and my ears were certainly worth $70. The plan was I'd try out each pair and see which ones worked best.
I started with the cheapest ones -- about $13. And, I've not used any of the others since. They work great. Oftentimes I am right in front of the PA speakers while I'm taking pictures. I can definitely feel the sound on my body but when I take out those ear plugs I've never had a hint of ear ringing. Don't wear them all the time -- just when it is uncomfortably loud.
