Thanks for pointing out there are links to the songs. utube views counted hehe *** Is today also an open-topic Monday? I really thought it was a great idea last week, we all talked about our current TV shows favourites. Since a lot of us will be spending more time inside, we'll have time to watch all those shows now! But what else do you do, besides listening to Adam Lambert 24 hours a day? :D I've been learning Spanish (on the Duolingo app! it's easy, fun, and free, triple whammy) for the past several weeks. I love learning languages and I had been thinking for a while about enrolling in a Spanish course somewhere, but I wasn't able to find something suitable, and then by accident I came across an interview with the guy who created the app (I forget his name), and all of a sudden I had a light-bulb moment - hey, I could just start on my own. So I did, and it's been really fun and rewarding and I truly feel I've already learned a lot. (I should probably mention that I had already learned Latin and French before, though I've also forgot a lot, so learning Spanish now hasn't been too difficult, especially since the more foreign languages you learn, even if you don't reach a high level, it gets easier to take in the basics. We'll see how things go once I get to a harder level, lol - hopefully, I'll persevere.) Do you ever take courses online or use any learning apps and similar? I also really enjoy some games that are like that: puzzles or brain teasers, etc. I guess I'm just a big nerd. But I love that about me! haha Ooh, what an excellent idea! I love languages also. I took about 5 years of Spanish, and a year of French back in school (eons ago lol). I'm from Germany, so I speak German (or what I remember of it) and of course English. I'd love to learn Italian, but so far haven't gotten around to it.

I'd love to learn Italian, but so far haven't gotten around to it. There are lots of languages available on Duolingo, including Italian, if you're really interested. There are also options to learn some languages from German or other big languages. For example, a person can learn French from Spanish, or English from German, etc. It's not possible for smaller languages, though. But, what's really amazing is that there are some endangered languages like Navajo and Hawaiian as well as some small languages like Welsh that are available (from English only, I think). There are also Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian, a lot of European languages, etc. I'm thinking - after I've gotten to some point in my Spanish studies, I'll check out some other languages too. I learned Chinese and Hungarian before, a bit, but have forgotten a lot. Also, German. That's a weird tale. I learned it in school and was pretty good at it, let's say at least an intermediate level, but then I never used it afterwards so I forgot pretty much everything, except maybe a few basic words and phrases. It would be great to refresh and learn some things again. Or, I might check out Welsh - it's something I've kinda wanted to learn for a while, but there are no regular courses available.

Has anyone actually tried to get a refund on their tickets? Without cancellation insurance? Ticketmaster claims refunds will be automatic within 2 to 3 weeks of event cancellation...but while most everything else is cancelled in Vegas, Adams show is not. Ticketmaster phone is set on busy so no help there. They claim they have a live chat button but that is not true...at least, not on my computer screen...tried both Canadian and US TM...which shows same face and tickets...just no way to contact, at all.
Everything about this is so darn sad and frustrating....I would so rather not be having to cancel etc. but it would be pretty reckless and brain dead for me to do this, on multiple levels. As it is, this $177 dollar ticket actually costs, with fees and currency conversion, $358. ....now how is that for inflation.

As of last night, "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now urging a nationwide halt to gatherings of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks". Adam said in his IG chat yesterday afternoon, before the new guidelines came out in the evening, that he doesn't "know yet", which to me means that a lot of details still need to be worked out financially. If I were you, I would cancel my flight and my hotel room, and I am sure that Adam and team are working on either ticket refund or postponing the residency.

I can cancel hotel up to 72 hrs in advance will just cost me the deposit. Don't know what airline you are using but Delta is waiving change fees through April 30th so far. I'm ok with that scenario.

Guy at my work said he watched Fire Fight show on a station around here (Michigan) last night. If I had realized they were re running I would have watched. Of course I've seen it on YouTube several times. Thus guy is hilarious claims his wife is the fan but he always knows what's going on with Adam and wants to discuss. I keep telling him he's a Glambert at heart! Lol.đ

If you ever wondered, whatâs in Adamâs fridge, you should check Anthonyâs IG story. Iâm pretty sure, itâs Adamâs. đ And he wonât starve for the time being, because currently itâs full. Times are weird.

Should the IG with Adam be in about 20 min?
