It seems like for dinner/movie date night prices, we could go to a hockey game. Only downside is that it's downtown.

I'd love to start tailgating for the Titans. The games are fun to go to, but I think just sitting in the parking lot drinking and grilling would be more fun.

Wife and I go to ducks/kings games a few times a year. $20-30 per ticket for nosebleeds. Or catch a deal and spend $80 each on seventh or eighth row corner seats.

I've been lucky skating bowls like that for years that I never hit my head really bad, mostly ankle, knee and hip injuries.....Although that poo poo will probably catch up with me later :(

The worst concussion I had as a teenager wasn't even a head hit. I hosed up on a trail and nailed a tree with my torso doing 25-30mph. Busted ribs, collarbone, dislocated shoulder and one motherfuck of a concussion just from the force my neck/head took.

The brain is dumb.

I guess the best thing you can say is they're not in their 60s, which seems to be the point at which everything new becomes absolutely terrifying instead of just an excuse to act grumpy.

I can only imagine the conversation. I mean, you check in, go through security, then follow signs until you reach the gate marked on your ticket. When it's time to connect to the next flight, you get off the plane and follow signs until you find the gate marked on your next ticket. I mean security sucks balls but that's about all there is to it, I've navigated just fine even in foreign airports.

They're just acting like we're making them do calculus. Her mom is an anxious person anyway, and from the sounds of it she's basically being chicken little about literally everything and eating xanax like skittles.

If I got an internship over summer I could get a hotel or something, but it's not viable as a daily job while going to school here. They do have an Engineering co-op, but it's for fall; a lot of my core classes are fall/spring only, so it would push my graduation back even further than it already is (I'm on track for May 2018.)
