re: Baseball Season Tickets

They’re actually below face value on the secondary market sometimes.
They're hard enough to get that I moved away for 6 years and kept them. I love my seats and the people in my section.

We’re having some drama with my son’s ex, so I had Chat GPT create an entire musical using some pretty specific variables from the situation.It was pretty good and for whatever reason, I felt better.

I saw them in the Grand Illusion tour in 1977 and again for the Paradise Theater tour. They sounded better live than most of the concerts I attended during those years; great shows.
Stumbled across some performances Tommy did a few years ago with a youth orchestra. Good stuff.

re: Have you ever seen someone die?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 4/18/25 at 9:12 pm
I was with my mom and my husband when they passed. My mom had a massive stroke & lived 10 days after we removed her from life support. Her wishes were very clear, and I’m so grateful. Although being with my husband when he passed a year ago has been a lot to overcome, watching him suffer during the last month or so of his life was worse. Counseling has helped, but there’s no question that it changed me.

I would avoid a roofer that says they can save your deductible.

They do; that’s why we’re playing Thursday night games.

re: Will Wade: “arrogance got me in trouble” at LSU

I hate that they didn’t bring him back. If he was retained or rehired and there were subsequent violations by the basketball program, they’d probably be vulnerable to institutional lack of control sanctions by the NCAA. I wish him well.
re: When did Saturday Night Live stop being funny?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/18/25 at 9:45 pm
For decades, there weren’t many options for comedy other than sitcoms. I was in high school when SNL debuted, and whatever we did on Saturday nights, we made sure we were in front of a TV at 10:30. I’ve always liked it. The characters’ catch phrases were part of our vernacular: Wild & crazy guys, Jane you ignorant slut, Doggie Downers, Mr Bill… There are always at least a couple of cast members that make it worth watching-right now, for me it’s Marcello Hernandez. I don’t look at it as being too political because nobody’s off limits. It’s satire. I don’t have to agree with the premise to think it’s funny.
re: So doctors are now able to cure Sickle Cell? Seems like it should be a big deal.
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/14/25 at 8:41 am
It’s fantastic that they’re making so much progress in treating a hellish disease like Sickle,Cell. Hopefully after more labs are able to modify the cells, it will be less expensive. Immunotherapies/gene therapies are so encouraging and offer hope for cures as opposed to remission. My husband had a very rare, very aggressive form of Large B Cell Non Hodgkins Lymphoma called Triple Hit. He was approved for CAR-T therapy after relapse; his T cells would have been extracted and then modified at a lab to recognize and attack cancer cells. Cost would have been about $1 million, but our out of pocket was manageable. Unfortunately the cancer was too aggressive to keep it in check long enough for him to receive the treatment and he passed away before they could harvest his cells. CAR-T was previously only available at major cancer centers, but is now offered at Oschsner in New Orleans; I think Our Lady of the Lake may offer it later this year.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband to cancer last January, a couple of months after our 40th anniversary. I read somewhere to “just do the next thing”, and that’s what I did during those first weeks and months. My heart is broken but I’m so grateful he chose me to spend his life with.
re: Dad pro tip: Take your son to a baseball game.
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/7/25 at 9:41 pm
Absolutely-daughters, too. I grew up in St Louis and my dad took me to Cardinals games all the time, He’d wait with me outside the locker room so I could get autographs-I have so many great memories of Busch Stadium.
re: Ivermectin: Cancer killer Are you aware of these studies?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/2/25 at 9:15 pm
Ivermectin etc can also result in ineligibility for clinical trials at MD Anderson & other cancer centers.

re: Auto insurance for teenager
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 2/27/25 at 8:40 pm
Not sure how it works where you are, but we paid about $1K for a beater and insured it for minimum limits only. My son was listed as the primary driver on that one, but could drive the other household vehicles. If you have more drivers than vehicles, the teen will be listed on the vehicle with the highest premium. This has been about 20 years ago…
re: Teach your kids to be strong. Friend of one of my kids committed suicide.

I’m so sorry, my heart hurts for him and for your family. I’m so glad he survived and has made so many gains.
re: Hardest day of my life
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 2/21/25 at 11:35 pm
I lost my husband in January of last year after 40 years of marriage. We were very close and it’s been so hard. Counseling helps. My kids and grandkids add so much quality to my life & God shows up every day. I’m very intentional about the music I listen to; lots of Christian music-I am selective about which songs get stuck in my head. I’ve been a little disappointed by a couple of friends. It’s weird, but many of the people that check in on me aren’t my closest friends. Guys will text something funny or call to bitch about something, but it definitely feels like they’re just making sure I’m ok. People go back to their lives. Now I make the effort to reach out to them.
