I have accepted that I unironically enjoy Imagine Dragons. I kind of enjoy that they have just accepted who they are - a band for tweens and moms. My 7yo also really likes them. I seem to have two camps of friends/family - Swifties and then indie music snobs. But honestly, I'm embracing my cringe. They aren't the best band in the universe, not even in my top lists, but it is catchy and also great driving or dancing around the house music.

If you need some tips on edibles, let me know. Can I get in on this? I’ve been dipping my toes in and haven’t loved what I’ve tried so far. We historically get post shamed for turning threads into weed discussions so a separate thread is probably best. lol

Oh I have kind of a funny one. I went to a comedy show last week and I had a couple of edibles in my purse not concealed at all. We were in a rush and I just opened my bag for the guy checking and they were right there on top. We locked eyes and I just kind of gave him a “your move” look. It was only two so if I had to throw them away I wasn’t going to make a stink. And I have no idea what the policy is but typically even though I’m in a legal state, they are not allowed. He just nodded and passed my bag back to me. "Those are my support gummies. They come with me everywhere."

We historically get post shamed for turning threads into weed discussions so a separate thread is probably best. lol A "how to do the marijuana" thread might benefit those of us that have just said no Don't worry ladies, considering I'm trying to work up the courage to try edibles I probably won't have the balls to smuggle them into Wisconsin. I think all of our border states have legal weed so if it becomes a habit (which my DARE advisors warned it would) then I'll transport via automobile instead of getting the Feds involved.

TSA cares less about edibles than they do about full size bottles of conditioner.

Every time I go through TSA my lizard brain suddenly panics that maybe I mistakenly packed my explosives in my carry on this time. Spoiler alert: I do not own nor know where to find explosives. Flying home from Finland was two flights. First flight was back to Helsinki and my kid was swabbed for bomb residue. I spent too much time thinking “I hope she’s not positive.” Second flight was back to the US and I was bomb swabbed. I spent more time worrying I’d be positive. Too many irrational thoughts.

I did get body searched once because I was carrying things for my old job in my carryon. Apparently, certain kinds of plastics show up as possible explosives, and I had a taped up chunk of printed graphics in my bag, right next to a huge (like, 5+ lb amethyst).
That was a very fun conversation about how I was not, in fact, a jewel thief. 😆

Not body cavity to be clear. Just patted down and interrogated in the side room.

I just told my coworker some really juicy gossip about a client, but because I started it with "do you want the tea?" at the end of the story, instead of just admiring the gossip and my storytelling skills, she looked confused and said "That's very interesting, but what does it have to do with tea" and I was kinda let down.

I have a staff member who is draining the life out of me. I could really use a gummy right now.

I could hear some juicy work gossip, if you want to share it here! It's one of those things that is less juicy if you don't know the people involved, but basically childhood best friends (let's call them A & B) are no longer friends because A had an affair with B's wife and that's the real reason A's wedding last year was called off less than 2 weeks before the ceremony. And now A and B's (now ex) wife are engaged. So basically just a fairly run of the mill cheating scandal, but still scandalous for our small office.

My son is starting to fly what he thinks of as a lot--3 times a year from 0 times a year I guess is a lot. He laughs at himself on how careful he is about packing. toiletries in the checked luggage cause he doesn't want to deal with the # of oz in a ziplock bag. He got grief one time for bringing opened food onto the plane, (I think it was a sandwich.
so he put his loaf of banana bread in the checked luggage cause he didn't want to risk having to toss it.

I guess my UO is I travel with gummies all the time. Never been an issue. I’ve had friends be stopped and TSA just says it’s not something they are focused on.
Domestically only FTR.

Bottlerock? i am your friends. I'm not a concert or festival person. I'm taking DD to her first concert in May (on Mother's Day no less) to see Melanie Martinez and i'm already dreading it a little. Excited for her excitement though. Yes! I’ve surprisingly never been. I’ve been to their smaller festival in Sonoma (much smaller). I’m excited! I went a couple of years ago - it’s a lot of fun. parking kind of sucks though so we got a car service so we didn’t have to deal with that mess.

Netflix is coming out with a crime docuseries on a crime that happened in my town. It was a pretty big deal. Part of me wants to watch it, but then another part of me doesn't because i feel like i might get annoyed if stuff is wrong/obviously biased. (plus i hate when people/tv pronounce the name of my town wrong lol) The way they butcher your cities name is hilarious. It’s not even hard to say! but now I have to find the docuseries so I can watch with my friends who live there (they live up the block from the ferry building).

Knowing all the players and places in real life, and what really happened, it should be an interesting watch. OMG YES!

I've flown with THC products many times. TSA dgaf. I've also received them in the mail a few times since it's not legal in my state.

I’m for sure watching.
