@ceraliza Your boss didn’t think about the piece where providing a raise is usually cheaper than hiring someone new.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@SaveTheLibs @davidclowery @nickgillespie @StubHub Nope.

With the number of issues I’ve seen, they don’t let ticket holders know until a couple hours before the event (for the most part). People have already traveled, booked a hotel, gotten ready and on the way, their tickets are suddenly not in the stubhub acct. some the night before, and a lot are told to click here for comparable options as part of their guarantee and when they do- there are no listings. We ran into stubhub doing this several years ago with concert tickets. We didn’t travel for the show luckily. I started a week out complaining we didn’t have tickets. On the phone almost non-stop the day before. We finally got tickets the day of the show.

And if you don’t know stubhubs sketchy bc not everybody realizes that. Glad you’re perfect because most of us aren’t. Bet you didn’t know priceline does the same thing. They take your purchase and then get what you just bought off another sight and renig on their guarantee as well. Happened to me in dc.

Other secondary ticket vendors do this crazy thing like verify the ticket and the ticket is sent immediately. Stubhub loves saying your ticket will be sent when made available by the vendor (not the person selling the ticket). We ran into issues for a concert waaaayyy back as the pandemic was ending and haven’t used them since. A lot of people are just now finding out about stubhubs shadiness.

@DrinkingEurope @GJeffHanson @StubHub @TeamStubHub That still doesn’t make what stubhub did right.

@aerolisa1 Thank you so much. It’s hard stuff when it’s personal. It’s amazing what comfort fur babies are.

I doubt anyone will see this but if you do, can you please say a prayer for me and my husband? I dropped him off at alcohol detox yesterday. And they provide 2 sentences of updates in 24hrs. I’m so worried about him and just hurting (emotionally). I keep going from numb to sobbing. His parents can’t come down until mid week due to cancer f/u appts(in remission-thank God), and my parents solution is to pack for me, 2 dogs, and a bunny and drive 6hrs so that I can have support. I can’t hardly think straight and have to search the house for hidden alcohol bottles. Packing and driving that far when I’m not sure when I’ll be needed here is just not in my universe right now. So as I go on a hunt in the house, any good thoughts or prayers are sincerely appreciated.

Finally heard from my hubby a little bit ago. He sounds okay. Said he was doing well and going to the groups. He was very guarded but it sounded like quite a few people were around. Said he’d slept a lot but was going to all the groups and AA meetings. It was good hearing his voice even if just for a minute. God is working- I have to believe that. Talked to my mother in law. Feeling better than yesterday.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@CrossRoads70 That was always said at the end of church services when I was growing up. It really warmed my heart seeing your post. Thank you

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@kdibby1 I’m really hoping I can say this 16yrs from now. I want to support him in every way possible but I also know I have to keep myself stable and safe.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@DonnaG70580 I really do. It’s hard doing this alone.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@hahn_marga35687 It is medical detox. I’m a nurse and knew it was unsafe to do at home. We first tried the ER, but the one we went to did everything they could to discourage us from staying there for detox. It was wild.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

Heaven forbid I love my husband. We’re a family in chaos while this has been going on. Our families live 6hrs away so other than my friends, who also have their own lives, I’m doing this on my own. Yesterday morning was a very low point for me. I’m actually very independent and can manage but it’s HARD right now. I love when a woman reaches out for help, so many people assume they are co-dependent or dependent on their spouse.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@AnnieOldenough Yep. I guess it’s a blessing that I very rarely drink.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@Fearlesslori___ I retweeted this earlier this year and I’m feeling this in my soul right now.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

Thank you…. He is definitely where he needs to be. And I know my parents are trying to be helpful and my mom is afraid to drive here. My brain gets that part but my heart kinda wishes they would. Just to have someone here with me. And I just can’t pick up and leave randomly right now. Thank you for your kind words.

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@GetOnTap I wish I was there right now….

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@PLazarinho Thank you…. Thinking about that helps in a weird way…

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

@BrianOl58344251 Thank you

[Preston @PrestonInTheATL]

Easier said than done…. But seriously after doing some hard core work yesterday, it helped to clear my mind. And I have quite a bit to do around the house right now. Starting with mowing the lawn…. We have a riding mower but I don’t know how to use it, so I’m going to have to grab the push mower. But hey…. Sometimes a little sweat really helps
