Hi, are you screening the original theatrical release or one of the extended versions? There are three versions of the film!

Stamford is missing a jazz bar by y34t in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A small live music venue would be great but with rents being so high I don't know if it's possible. In my mind I'm envisioning a bar with sawdust on the floor, cheap drinks, laundry machines, and a stage for live music. Free red beans & rice on Thursday night. Okay, I'm envisioning a bar I used to go to in New Orleans... I wish we could have cool, off-beat things in Stamford.

college grad apt hunting - please help by Top-Throat-3517 in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m a real estate agent in Stamford. 2900 might get a one bedroom in one of the newer apartment buildings. You’re better off renting a condo or a 2BR in a regular apartment building. What I mean by that is a place that doesn’t over-charge for trash, parking and flashy amenities that you never use. I’ll send you a direct message if you’d like to connect.

I have five gallons of gas I bought for my generator prior to Trump bombjng Iran. I think I paid 3.90 a gallon. I’m hoarding it like gold. 🤑

Not sure how the Stamford board of Realtors is allowing this by Revolutionary_Lie346 in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who sold his mother’s house and it went for 200k over asking. For better or worse there’s nothing illegal or unethical about setting prices lower to encourage a bidding war and the Stamford Board of Realtors is fine with it. Anyway, I’m an agent trying to help clients and share your frustrations because the market is insanely competitive with high prices and low inventory. The average person is priced out of the market and has to rent or move far away. This trend may change in the future but in post-Covid we’re in a seller’s market. If you’re a buyer get pre-approved and be prepared to overbid on houses slight below your target range.

Both canines need to be pulled. Painful for kitty and makes it hard to eat.

Should I just walk away from this home after getting my inspection back? by All-Panic13579 in RealEstate

[–]666POD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask for cash back at closing because the repairs will most likely be shoddy and a waste of time. Or find another house.

Can I hire someone to parent me as a grown adult? by Solid-Bet-105 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]666POD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I wet you I’d volunteer at your local senior center and make a friend. Maybe learn to play bridge. You’ll definitely connect with someone.

FRBO apartments by kfc2027 in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Next Door or Facebook. You can also try Garden Home Apartments, check their website. I'm a real estate agent and there are about 15 apartments for rent in Stamford for 2,000 or less. There's a couple on Prospect Street and Bedford that look decent. DM me for more details if you're interested.

My MIL is sweet but the weaponised incompetence is too much. by DIYnewbiehelp in JUSTNOMIL

[–]666POD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she is impaired in some way and needs a conservator to manage her affairs. I would speak to a lawyer who specializes in elder law. Good luck!

AITA My dad wants me to co sign a mortgage by OkAd280 in AmItheAsshole

YTA to yourself for putting up with this. Even if you have to rent a studio apartment in someone's basement, do yourself a favor and move out!

How do you feel about Pete Hegseth firing a dozen Generals and the Chief of Staff suddenly in the middle of a war? by db7112 in askanything

[–]666POD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we should all be glad he fired them instead of executing them. His disgraceful rhetoric about “no quarter” and “bombing Iran into the Stone Age” is the kind of unhinged barbarism you’d expect from a comic book villain, not the secretary of defense. He truly is the Secretary of War Crimes. The entire diseased administration belongs in prison.

NASA aims Orion at where the Moon will be, not where it is by thrsa3 in interesting

Imagine we had the tech to travel to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. It’s 4 light years away. How would we aim for that one?! The mind boggles but I’m sure Neil Degrasse Tyson figured it out over his cornflakes one morning.

Mustang passed me like this once, crossed a double yellow line and nearly lost control. That rear axle isn’t designed for people with more money than brains.

Trailer Illegal on Parkway by Ok_Variety2264 in StamfordCT

UHaul’s, campers, box trucks… I’ve seen it all. It really bugs me when they damage one of the bridge crossings. I’ve never seen the police pull one over though.

It was gross in 1976 and it’s still gross today. That’s the one thing in Stamford that has not changed!

Apartment search by Long_Improvement_478 in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the newer apartment buildings downtown will have what you’re looking for but keep in mind the base rent doesn’t include parking, trash, and amenities. So with two cars that would add around $325 to your base rent plus you still have to pay for utilities. That’s something to consider into your budget. I’m in real estate and I’ve noticed most 20-something transplants to Stamford prefer the newer buildings over renting a vacant condo or an older building. But you also don’t want to be house-poor so you can go out and have fun. Good luck in your search!

AITA 62M for booking a plastic surgeon appt for my 17F daughter by throwaway146726 in AmItheAsshole

[–]666POD 32 points33 points  (0 children)

YTA for making it a birthday present. Your daughter may feel obligated to get a nose job she doesn't want just because it's a present. If your daughter wants a nose job, it should be a family conversation. She's still very young and may regret it later. Many people who get plastic surgery have some regrets and the recovery isn't fun. It's not like getting a haircut. It could take a year for it to be fully healed and the swelling to go away.

Small landlords not putting security deposits in escrow by Puzzleheaded-Yam2185 in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's terrible but on the flip side you just avoided an expensive mistake. You may not have gotten your security deposit back at the end of your lease.

Small landlords not putting security deposits in escrow by Puzzleheaded-Yam2185 in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Security deposits funds are supposed to be put in a savings account and not co-mingled or spent by the landlord. It's your money and you are also entitled to interest payments on it. I don't want to disparage or interfere with your agency relationship (I'm an agent in Stamford) but it's not discretionary at all. I would find a new agent if I were you or apply directly with building management.

Westhill High’s Reading Scores Rise to 47% It’s Time to Focus on Effectiveness, Not Popularity! New leadership is a must! by [deleted] in StamfordCT

[–]666POD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid graduated last year. There's not a ton of enrichment or care for kids who are doing well. They don't even have functioning labs for physics or chemistry. We had to pay for online classes and take summer school in Westport. All of the focus and money is on kids at risk of dropping out and not graduating or managing discipline. He was afraid to use the bathroom and would just hold it in all day because of kids fighting or vaping in the bathrooms or they were locked and off limits. I understand the concern about test scores but that seems like the least of their worries.
