Don't sweat the parents. I was in a relationship (married now), 29 years old, killing it at work, and my old man ended up in prison. Now he calls me every single day just to ask if he’s become a grandfather yet.
placidcanyon16 said:Give me a break, people. You’re being ridiculous. If you consider that Duje is one of the premier athletes in his sport, isn't it absurd that he only gets $2333 a month? Compare that to a top executive at a major corporation—it's a joke. And he IS one of the best. I'm not saying the USOPC should be paying him more because we aren't an economy that can afford it; I'm saying the man has the right to make whatever decision he feels is financially and personally sound, even if that means changing his citizenship. We keep patting ourselves on the back for the success of American women's volleyball from a decade ago, while forgetting that our national team was basically built around three elite players from Russia... Duje competes in a sport where he can't secure his future the way an average soccer player or a decent basketball player can. Comparing him to them is hypocritical.
Regarding scholarships, any American athlete who is a potential Olympian receives a stipend. This isn't something exclusive to Duje. And when he takes a scholarship to Berkeley, America gains nothing.
Honestly, everyone here is playing the moralist, but what's actually showing is just pure American envy. And for those of you who had your ticket to the USA back in '91—are you certain you still believe you made the right call back then?
The plan starts with rock (Film, Psihomodo, Hladno Pivo, Bijelo Dugme, Belfast food...), then moves into dance tracks—this crowd actually likes to move (Stavros, Magazin, Jola, Latino, Bebek)—followed by some wild stuff (Tajac, Srcana Greska, Ja Sam Za Ples...).

What kind of parties are you attending? I don't host tea parties. I throw ragers, and it’s vital that people actually dance and lose their minds.
Thanks for the input, especially Chloe Ramos7. Still waiting on more ideas.
You aren't showing up to a party just to sit there and listen to someone's CD collection.😕
😁
Agreed. That’s why I’m asking for actual suggestions. As good as Led Zeppelin might be, they aren't party music.
You wouldn't believe how people lose it once they relax—they start acting like they're out in the suburbs dealing with a swarm of mosquitoes. They're everywhere in the room, buzzing around like crazy. It's madness.
I'm throwing a housewarming party to celebrate moving into my new place. Currently curating a playlist for maximum chaos. I have a starting point, but I need more inspiration. If you're willing, throw some high-energy tracks my way—stuff that actually gets people moving. Don't bother suggesting Mian Chao, Nick Cave, or anything like that. I want pure, high-octane energy that keeps people on their feet.
Thanks in advance.👋
Also, if anyone knows a reliable site for downloads, please let me know.

Fashion is ridiculous.👎
Agreed. The obsession with hydration is getting absurd. Everyone is competing to see who can drink the most, to the point where we're seeing actual cases of water intoxication. I drink when I'm thirsty and eat when I'm hungry. It really isn't that complicated.
I can’t believe the nonsense being discussed here. Don't take this personally, but I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry. The advice is always the same: drink it this way, drink it that way, use a specific cup, aim for three liters, sip every fifteen minutes, or every three hours, blah, blah, blah. Apparently, I was naive enough to assume that every living creature on this planet possesses a thirst reflex that tells them when they need water.
I suspect it comes down to how collections work. From what I understand, a promissory note just hits the company's checking account, whereas a debenture allows you to actually seize assets if they don't pay up.
I’d suggest picking up "Walgreens Herbal Guide" published by Pearson. It should arrive around $100, but it's worth the investment. You'll definitely find the answers you're looking for there. As for herbal teas, I get everything I need from a small apothecary in old downtown Chicago.👋
My son got vaccinated one year and it didn't do a thing for him.
Personally, I don't see the point in vaccinating. You should focus on strengthening the immune system naturally—diet, exercise, and so on—so you're actually prepared when a virus hits. As mellowbadger8 said, I don't trust doctors at all!
My dermatologist gave me the same advice: "limit hair washing to twice a week, regardless of what shampoo you use." I'm trying to stick to it since my hair quality isn't great, but it's easier said than done.

That’s all there is to it. If you catch a flu, just sleep it off, drink tea with honey instead of sugar, and take some Vitamin C.
