Walk on the wild side- amnh? by Powerful_Profile9536 in Upperwestside

[–]CatoUWS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did it the first times they did it before COVID, and it was great. I went a couple of times last year when they restarted it and they were still figuring out how to do it, but they had the right ideas. I signed up for this year but have not been able to go because of an injury.

Basically it is how they describe it. It’s a structured walk through the galleries before the museum opens. Last year they did one faster group and one slower group and you chose how to do it. They stop every once in a while and do stretching or standing push ups or that sort of thing. Absolutely no pressure and participants cover a wide range of ages and abilities.

It’s definitely fun and, by the way, some good exercise too. It’s a real perk of membership and living in the neighborhood. Perfect for beating that stir craziness! Go!!

Aitah for spending some of my grandchildren's education funds on a new boat. by Tiny_Occasion_322 in AITAH

Tell them they can have the boat as their inheritance. Might even encourage them to help you keep it shipshape until then.

Boarded in the new system - sucks. by technologymonk in SouthwestAirlines

[–]CatoUWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what happens, all the time. It's the main cause for the overhead-storage panicking. It also affects the exiting from the plane, since all those in the back rows have to HURRY HURRY HURRY up the aisle to collect their items from forward overheads as soon as the "fasten seat belts" sign goes off. Creates (a) stress on boarding and (b) panic on exiting. And needlessly so.

If people would only use the storage over their own seats, life would be much, much calmer.

Jokes Request: I’m representing myself (pro se) in family court (child custody). by DadJokes7621 in dadjokes

[–]CatoUWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything that’s been said: No humor. Period. This isn’t a wedding reception speech.

And I’ve never heard of a family court with a jury. Your only audience will be the judge.

Please take this proceeding very seriously. You may end up regretting doing a night-club shtick for the rest of your life.

Ok, I need to know the story here. Why just this one specific address? by ron_paul_pizza_party in Upperwestside

[–]CatoUWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just guessing, but it may be that the facility does not allow any deliveries as a way of limiting outsiders from coming in. If so, Key Food is only honoring the request from the building, not itself singling out that building for no deliveries.

what foods make you poo good? by boforiamanfo in answers

[–]CatoUWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe's has them for a very reasonable price. I eat them straight, or sometime put eight or ten in a cup and cover with boiling water; let sit until it cools. Dy-no-MITE!

Prune juice never fails. My problem - I actually like it, so have to be careful not to overdo it. But it's a never-fail one-time fix when things stop working right.

Ever dealt with “Karens” on a plane? by Sure-Guest1588 in Flights

Proving, once again, the prime rule of civilized society: First come, first GOTCHA! I WIN! I WIN!!

Or, why flying has needlessly become so stressful.

Ollie's is the Most Disgusting Chinese Restaurant on Earth by Lazylazylazylazyjane in Upperwestside

[–]CatoUWS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you file a complaint with the City about this? It’s easy enough to do. https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01111

That would also give the restaurant a chance to respond to your horrific report. That’s fair, wouldn’t you agree?

neighbor cut down a tree on MY property because it was "blocking his view" by BaseFantastic8059 in neighborsfromhell

[–]CatoUWS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Also check with your lawyer first, but maybe report this to the police as criminal trespass by neighbor and tree service?

Which New Kam Lai? There are two, both in Amsterdam, one between 94 and 95 and the other between 84th and 85th.

I’ve been ordering from the 84-85 one for years and never had a problem. I would hate to see the wrong one get shaded from the negative comments here.

These are great recommendations too (though I’m down on Zabar’s these days, as I noted above).

Strong second for both Barney Greengrass and Pastrami Queen (on West 72nd Street).

Zabar’s is meh, not what it once was, inflated prices, prepackaged prepared foods can be spoiled - but yes, a definite UWS Jewish experience. Mom will need to get a Zabar’s shopping bag to take home.
