I unfortunately don’t have any advice, but I’m very sorry you and your family members are going through this.

The best camera is the one you have with you.

They do not, but they also don't offer whatever random discount you get from ordering online - so in my experience, the ticket prices were about the same between the two. Might depend on show or whatever though.

For the “convenience” of course.
Life is such a scam

Try Xyzal. I made the switch to that a couple years ago and it helped a lot. Also Flonase Sensimist as someone else mentioned. You can get these both in bulk at Costco.

100%. Love having at least a smartphone on me at most times.

I have had two solid long lasting therapist/psych relationships there, but then had a shitty encounter with one of the therapists when I went back. It can definitely be a crapshoot.

They do not! But their box office hours are, of course, very inconvenient.

Someone once told me the best camera you can have is the one you have available to you.
For that, the smartphone cannot be beat to capture moments. Carrying around a dslr everywhere seems unrealistic.

Next time you're in that spot you should try lowering your phone to juuuuust the water's edge and snapping a photo! It usually makes for a cool shot!

I would be enraged as well. Buy them at the theater.

> If you—the proverbial you and not individual you—go to the beach for an all-day outdoor music festival and didn't pack sunscreen or bring an umbrella or tent and can't find any shade to stand under, yeah, you're gonna get a pretty bad sunburn and/or heat stroke. Both of those things are typically preventable with the right planning.
> There are plenty of stories of people getting seriously ill, injured, or dying from being exposed to the elements and not having appropriate clothing.
You'll be a great dad someday if you're not already - but in this case, they didn't pay for an outdoor experience. They paid for an indoor experience with the implied promise of a reasonable line, which they dressed for. Nobody brings coats and umbrellas to clubs like that when its just sprinkling, because it sucks to have to deal with them inside when it's 90deg and packed with people dancing, and they're likely to get ruined/lost/stolen anyway. OP did exactly what club-going adults have been doing for decades. It's an international standard.

that I can't speak to. The one's I've been too have been solid, but definite convenience store pricing. Meaning wtf for a half gallon of milk. but I get it.

Feel like it hasn't been that up to date recently. For instance, neighborhood calls that don't show up at all.

Couldn’t agree more with this statement. I work in video production and have been watching one guy buy at least $30k worth of camera bodies and another $10-20k in lightd and audio due to him feeling like he doesn’t have exactly what he needs to make a short film. It’s been five years and all I’ve seen from him are some camera test videos he’s posted on his Facebook.
Meanwhile I’ve seen short films in festivals that were shot with a whole setup (lights, camera, audio) that was under 5k and they’re being seen by countless people.
Anyway, also agree with the entry level DSLR. That and a decent 50mm prime lens would only be a few hundred bucks. Certainly a lot less than the newest iPhone.

nope not quite- it is in the shopping center (idk if it even has a name) across the street from bernies subs, the hardware store, and 7-11. They always have their deeply reduced sales racks out on the sidewalk.

Plato's Closets are normally catered to teens and twenties. The selection is entirely dependent on who works in the particular store as they have awful quality control standards.
Uptown Cheapskate is slightly better, caters mostly to twenty-somethings but occasionally has great stuff for office/professional people.
There was a Clothes Mentor that caters to a slightly older demographic (twenties and up) but it closed in November. There is still one in Newport News and one in Fburg though. Think Chico's, Loft, Liz Claiborne, etc. Worth the drive IMO if you are looking for like office stuff.
You should dress however you want though! Age is just a number.

Not that I’ve found. I just checked the Hanover Emergency Communications web page again and I don’t see anything there.
