Big & Rich Concert



Recommended Posts

Last night I went to the Big & Rich concert at the Corn Palace here in Mitchell, SD. Myself and another "big" gal I work with took 2 people in wheelchairs. We got front row seats! We were within touching distance from the stage and the group! What an awesome show! They made everyone feel special!

After the show we slipped out a side door. A rather large man himself...no skinny was holding the door open for people. He made the comment as the gal I work with passed by..."She needs a cow bell on her!" I was P.O.ed! I don't think she ever heard the comment and I never mentioned it. But it hurt my feelings as well. If I would have thought quick enough I could have "accidently" rammed him in the leg with the wheelchair I was pushing! Some people are just SO rude and immature.

Unreal! Makes ya wonder whats making HIM so depressed that he has to tear apart a total stranger! Good for you for not taking off a limb or two on your way past him!

UGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.....I was happy until reading that. It has totally pissed me off. I would send a nasty letter to the establishment and the band telling them about this person and his comment. I would want an apology, free tickets, something. I am sorry you guys had to be exposed to that that that a--hole . JERK

Thanks for all your kind words. I know we have all been there a time or two. No wonder there is so much hate and disrespect in the world.

Talk about your BAD KARMA.

I just try to remember that the person is obviously suffering if they feel the need to lash out at others.

LOL! I did email the director of the Corn Palace where the concert was held. He emailed me back and apologized for that man's comment. He also promised if the man was an employee he would be disciplined. After thinking about it, the man could have been with the carnival or just another concert goer, but anyhow he should not have said what he did! Thanks again to everyone who commented on this thread.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
