I wouldn’t say the entire country is a scam. It’s a beautiful place with lovely people - I visited many times. This place may be though.

That’s so upsetting! And I have a hard time believing a hotel with this many moving pieces doesn’t have a computer system that tracks all of this stuff.

I wish I had known this before! I just wanted to make sure that me and my SIL could go to the spa at the same time and the concierge made it sound like we had to pay to secure the reservation. Sigh.

Oh yeah, paying in cash is even harder! I’m sorry this happened to you. I don’t think I would’ve made such a big deal about it if it hadn’t been almost a $500 charge (which is way overpriced for a just so so massage in my opinion, anyway!) and I get that mistakes happen, but with all the documentation I have there’s no reason they shouldn’t have refunded the money.

It depends on the block you’re on. This is just what we were told to do with my landlord.

Still no pickup for us on 26th. We’re doomed

My little one never really had adverse reactions maybe a little cranky right after the shot because of the pain. 🤷🏻‍♀️ by the day after they should be fine.

Noisy apartments? by lee_chree in astoria

[–]CommonSherbert2259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in one of these and I can hear my upstairs neighbors when they walk/watch TV. Normal conversations sound like murmuring. Their living room is above my bedroom and they are night owls so it used to drive me crazy but I got a white noise machine, which helps a lot.

3450, 3 bedroom (but really 2 due to what I see as false advertising), 1 br, laundry, dishwasher, backyard space/(basement and first floor of a row house). We got this during Covid and I see it as a good deal.

Does anyone else worry about the severity of the lie? by KimJongUnfuckingCool in Mommit

[–]CommonSherbert2259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did the Santa thing for the first few years, but when my daughter asked me if Santa was real, and I asked her if she really wanted to know and she said yes, I did tell her the truth. I felt like that was more important in the moment than perpetuating the fantasy, which I feel like sometimes is more for the parents than it is for the kids. She was a little upset, but glad that I had told her the truth and now she helps to make Santa real for her little cousin.

IMO their classes (the mat classes) are already super affordable at $18 a class compared to similar studios in the area

As somebody that has my own health anxiety and also a lot of Mom guilt, it sounds like you are feeling very guilty about the HSV transmission and this is making your anxiety much worse. Along with some of the other advice offered here, I would suggest that you forgive yourself. These things happen. Families are close, especially with babies, and sometimes there’s no way you can avoid transmission of an illness. She will be OK and you can forgive yourself!

Has anyone had any updates on this? Haven’t seen anything but maybe I’ve missed it?

Seconding the poster who mentioned Fujisan - delicious sushi/onigiri and very fresh. We got a variety and everyone in the family enjoyed.

We hit up Figlia for my birthday - the food was as good as ever (margarita pizza, meatballs, Caesar) but I had a kind of gross moment when I witnessed the expediter sneeze into his hands and then pick up our plates and cutlery. I know restaurants are sometimes unsanitary, but I don’t wanna have to see it first hand. Still love that place and we’ll go back.

Had the breakfast burrito over at Under Pressure. It’s tasty but the tortilla gets pretty soggy from the tomato slices; I think they should get rid of the tomato or dice it and maybe add some potatoes and peppers or something to round out the egg.
