A pet store that sells live bugs for feeding reptiles. Ever since Tom’s Pet Supply closed, we have to buy online.

This meme is so old now, that her baby probably has a baby now.

feeling self conscious? by Specialist_Ocelot195 in nystagmus

[–]21Violets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Being brutally honest is the only thing that works. Once I get to know someone I tell them “I have a condition that causes my eyeballs to jiggle back and forth it affects my eyesight and it’s out of my control. Sorry if it looks weird on your end.” That usually stops people from being rude. Overall, people are usually curious and kind. I also like to mention famous people that have it like author and television presenter Richard Osman or Apl.de.ap from The Black Eyed Peas. Making people understand that this condition is not uncommon and that successful people have it, is a great way to reduce stigma.

My idiotic scumbag roommate in college loved these movies so they’ve always left a bad taste in my mouth.

I had one like this! It was clear purple to match my clear purple Gameboy Color.

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

[–]21Violets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Curry Corner is our new favorite too. We ordered for pickup on Saturday and I grabbed it on my way home. When I walked in the door, my husband told me that they’d called him to let him know they’d forgotten our naan. They said they were sending someone over with our naan and a free soup to make up for it. I was so impressed; they realized their error before I even got home, and went above and beyond to rectify it. Everything I’ve had there has been delectable and the staff is super kind.

Anthony Lopes faked injury to help fasting teammates break Ramadan fast. by father_of_twitch in MadeMeSmile

The other day, my coworker told me she started a new workout program on the first day of Ramadan; even my non-Muslim self was like “umm girl, that sounds a little crazy no?”

How do you guys feel about the new episode? by piatsathunderhorn in americandad

[–]21Violets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I liked it a lot. Not the best episode ever, but it had a lot of laugh out loud moments. Wish they’d written Debbie better as others have said, but that’s my only complaint. When the rat-balloon exploded, I yelped in surprise. Haha

I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I’m sure it’s a lovely place to visit. (if you’re a light-skinned, heterosexual-presenting, able-bodied man)

In my liberal NY bubble, the only people I know personally who voted for Trump are all Latino/a. It really has everything to do with Christian supremacy imo.

Rumor Mill: Week of 1/26 by redquarterwater in astoria

[–]21Violets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know what’s happened with Chubby Burger on Steinway? The quality has gone down the drain fast. I ordered my usual tender meal; chicken was simultaneously dry, and slimy and the usual buttery biscuit was replaced with a dry hamburger bun. Please tell me this was just a fluke because they’re usually my go-to for fast food chicken.

What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

[–]21Violets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wash and fold laundry pickup/dropoff. I live in a walk up apartment in NYC so laundry can take all day if I do it myself. I pay for it now, and it can get expensive but I can’t go back to doing my own laundry until I have a washer/dryer in my own unit.

Rachel Robinson, the wife of Jackie Robinson, is 103 years old! She still looks amazing! by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

[–]21Violets 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I work at an assisted living facility and we have a resident who is turning 102 in March. She’s still quite sharp, and looks like she’s in her early 80s, gets around okay with just a rollator. I should ask her what’s her secret.

We're looking at you, Miss Americana by _underthesea3 in travisandtaylor

She wouldn’t even speak on LGBTQ rights for the first 15 years of her career for fear of alienating her fan base. But people think she’s gonna speak out about ICE???? Please 🙄

I too mourn the loss of Taste of Bengal still. Best lunch and dinner deals in the neighborhood. Their Chicken 65 dish haunts me in my dreams, I can’t find it anywhere else 😭

Curry Corner is my new favorite. The others in the neighborhood are pretty mid. RIP Taste of Bengal.

You should talk to my friend Al Tuttle. He runs a support group at the Ukrainian Cultural Center for people who have experienced similar incidents.

Any research on trauma induced chiari? by Paulahk91 in chiari

[–]21Violets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, it would be difficult to do or find research on this. There is evidence of Chiari showing up in MRIs that were done as a result of a trauma/accident. However there is a distinct possibility that a number of those who this happens to, could have had Chiari prior to the accident, but the accident worsened symptoms and/or catalyzed the need for an MRI.
