My friend and I decided to volunteer at bonnaroo for the experience. This requires a $300 deposit. I paid hers. Now she is bailing out. If anyone is in the eastern Arkansas / northern Mississippi / Tennessee area I would gladly pick you up and take you. I really don't want to lose my money. I am a 19 year old female. All I'm asking is you split gas money with me. You would not need to purchase a ticket because it comes with volunteering.
What a scummy thing to do to a friend. I'd show up at her house and demand the money.

Or leave with enough lawn ornaments to cover the cost.
My Pop-Pop was taken to the ER this morning with slight abdominal pain and bloody stool. They've admitted him and will be doing an endoscopy and colonoscopy today, though they found that his hemoglobin was a little low so they're doing a blood transfusion, which is the thing that really scares me. Please send prayers/vibes.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

So my girlfriend has a medical condition that flares up every once and a while and can be pretty severe at times. She had some issues this winter that never fully went away and she landed in the hospital a week or so ago. We continued to hold out hope that she would be well enough to go and unfortunately last Friday we decided that she just shouldn't risk it. We are both extremely bummed and have been talking about the trip since the lineup was announced. All my stuff is packed and ready to go, but I just don't want to get into the depressing job of putting it all away. Not only do we both love going to Roo, but this is typically a big chunk of our vacation time that won't be used on something nearly as fun. We were going to be leaving on Wednesday morning and I know when I'm driving into work on Wednesday I am going to be depressed as hell. At least she is beginning to feel better and her health is the most important thing. Have fun on the farm everyone, I wish I was joining you
Thanks for listening everyone, I just still can't believe we aren't going.

Oh that is rough You're doing a really honorable thing staying behind with her. Hang in there, hope you're able to return next year.

I don't want to sound insensitive, especially since I don't know anything about her condition...but why not go without her instead of eating the cost for 2 tickets?

I thought about it for a brief second but she really could use my help while she is making her recovery. I was able to sell the tickets but I did take a bit of a hit on them. I have no problem going by myself but I think taking off without her might make her feel much worse.

Uhh, I'm guessing that now that he wants to keep her as a girlfriend?
Boyfriend: "So, do you think you would be alright with me going to Bonnaroo alone while you rest up from getting back from the hospital?"
Girlfired: "I'm alright with it if you are alright with it."
Boyfriend, thinking critically: "I'll go try and sell the tickets."

She actually would have no problem with me going, she's very cool like that. Not only would I miss having her there (as we did all the planning together) but I also need to do all I can to help her while she recovers.

You are awesome. Wait till she gets better and you guys go use the money on something you can enjoy together.

glad to hear she is starting to feel better overall. sorry you are both unable to attend but you would be more upset if you went and something happened.

Believe it or not but a similar thing happened to my girlfriend and I this past weekend. We had VIP tickets, but she also has a recurring medical condition that decided to make an appearance at the worst possible time. We also decided she just shouldn't risk getting to Roo and it happening again there because it would be very very bad. Major bummer after we had been planning this for so long together. Bonnaroo is the only festival we were doing this year. Her favorite band is the Arctic Monkeys and she was SO EXCITED to see them at Roo. I originally planned to stay home with her, however, she insists on me still going. So it looks like I'll be doing my first solo trip, and not really looking forward to it, as long as she's doing better by the time I'd have to leave. Still having a hard time accepting that she won't be with me. Not going to be the same without her there :/
Should I stay? She said she's just worried about us wasting that much money because we can't sell the tickets.
If I told my boyfriend to go somewhere without me, I would 100% mean it. I would probably get irked if he insisted on staying.
You know your girlfriend best though. Talk it over and get reassurance from her if you're uncertain.
I do think she genuinely means it... I just feel kinda guilty for going without her. She's the same as you and would definitely be irked if I stayed home.
Update: right now they're thinking it's a diverticular disease, which isn't life threatening and should clear up on its own. Getting getting the various -scopies done tomorrow to confirm. Not totally out of the woods yet but things are looking up. Thanks again for the thoughts and vibes.

My allergies have been bad this Spring. I've taken up a regimen of Zyrtec and just switched to Zyrtec-D (which contains sudafed) because I feel so crappy. Woke up this morning to a sore throat and no voice. It feels like the Bonnaflu but a week early. Gonna take it easy today and cross my fingers I'm 100% by Thursday.
Just made an appointment at the clinic for tomorrow morning. I think it's an ear infection
Let's just hope my voice is fully recovered by Thursday.

I'm all in favor of you doing the right thing. But can you do it quietly. You're making the rest of our gender look bad.
You've inspired me though to make extra sure before I leave for 6 days that my grievously ill wife has a clean adult diaper and the TV remote within reach. Wait, what if she gets hungry or thirsty? Oh, she'll figure something out.
I thought about getting her a nurse, but then I'd have to go GA. No way that's happening.

If you don't mind me asking - it's not a colitis condition is it? I've been dealing with something since February. I know how awful it is. Not 100% yet, but thankfully good enough to go to 'roo. Worst case scenario, I live an hour away, so I could leave, as sad as it would be.
Sorry y'all can't go, sending positive thoughts/energy for her recovery.
Nothing horrible but i never got my group parking pass in the mail so we are trying to figure out a way to get one at will call. Now tge guy i am to meet up with had a fire at his job so shit has officially hitith thy fan.

I had to walk into Wal-Mart for the first time in nearly 18 months! It was terrible, but I did get all of my supplies for 'Roo for under $70. I spent more in the liquor store.
