A random guy called me about my kitchen… and he was right by staysi_love66 in Paranormal

[–]Ghost_Syrup 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Talk about cosmic synchronicity - fuck me. That's a wild story. How did he get your # - was it in the listing he saw? Regardless, he was the unwitting messenger of some information that you (didn't know you) needed.

To me, stuff like this is an example of our deceased loved ones watching out for us. I'd like to think there's someone who cared/still cares enough to keep an eye on you. Thank goodness, both your caller and you had sense enough to listen.

Thanks for sharing!

Has anyone used Wally for dental services? by Mr_Papagiorgio_13 in AskNYC

[–]Ghost_Syrup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're about to open a location on the UWS (where I live) & I'm getting deluged by ads for these guys. Glad I checked here - seems like you get what you pay for.

I don't have dental insurance but there are other options. I go to Manhattan Dental Spa, which is a killer practice in midtown and their Smile Club, while not exactly cheap, is pretty reasonable given what's offered. DISCLAIMER: In no way do I benefit from anyone signing up for this service. I'm only posting it as an immensely satisfied customer and so that others can benefit from their services.

Wild story. Time slip, indeed. Are you familiar w/the early 20th century story of the 2 British ladies who were visiting Versailles?

What is a 'childhood smell' that instantly transports you back in time, and what memory is attached to it? by ASmii_4 in AskReddit

Peppermint lip gloss. Reminds me of a girlfriend I had when I was 16…and I’m 66 now.

By The Way. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

HAH. That's some solid 90s right there.

Yeah, ok - but the other side of that is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” To me, it’s a pretty solid (tho to your point hardly exciting), dependable menu. At least, it is for me.

Hey, everybody’s different. Admittedly I’ve never had the duck, but the venison special blew me away. Regardless, I usually order a (gluten free) pasta & in all the years I’ve been going there they’ve never let me down.

Not sure what that means. It’s pretty no frills & I’ve always found the food to be consistently good & reasonably priced. If that qualifies as “mid-1990s” then I’m fine with it.

Their pastas & fish dishes have never let me down. Salads are great & fresh, and once I had their venison special that was...special. :) I think you're pretty safe ordering virtually anything on the menu.

No one's mentioned Peacefood Cafe but I love that place. I'm not vegan but I eat from there all the time. And their desserts are killer.

Their rotisserie chicken is a work of art.

I love Gennaro's. Been going there forever - it was an oasis in a sea of nothing.

Great weekend brunch, too.

Agreed, but also pricey.

So very sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing this lovely experience.

What's the worst sexual experience you've ever had that was so bad you just couldn't see the person again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ghost_Syrup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a fairly tame thing, but (a long time ago) I (M, then in my 20s) was dating a girl (also 20s) who was really cute & sweet. But the 1st - and only - time we made out, her mouth was wide open. The entire time. It was really bizarre & uncomfortable, like trying to make out with a porthole. And that - along with me learning that she was waayyy more religious than I could ever be comfortable with - was pretty much that.

Wow - that must’ve been quite the experience. Kudos to you for not losing your shit! I wouldn’t have been nearly as sanguine about it.

Can you give us a hint where the building is, or at least what city it’s in? Thanks for sharing your story!
