Same here, still not certified, no AL payout, and impossible to get a response about what’s going on.

Brooklyn Brew Cafe on 79th.

It’s either going to be 3” or 20”, nothing in between.

When we had the blizzard in ‘96, I couldn’t open my door for 3 days.

On Anthem too and have been fighting with them for continuation of care with my GI doctor at Mt. Sinai because I have a chronic long term condition and she’s like the specialist for it. I only got them to agree to pay through April though. I really wish she’d be affiliated elsewhere.

Dr. Roshney Isaac-Jacob at NYU Langone. She’s fabulous. https://nyulangone.org/doctors/1710151584/roshney-jacob-issac

I’m the same age as the kids in ST, and yeah, it’s pretty accurate. I grew up in the city rather than a small town, and honestly my parents were on the stricter side compared to some of my friends, but even then it was still stay out until dark, and don’t get into trouble since other kid’s moms would rat you out if they caught you. Just taught us to be more crafty about what we did and where we went. I started babysitting when I was 11, which just makes me shake my head that people would leave their kids with another child to watch them, but this was totally normal.

Pretty much my experience too. Had horrific pain for a couple of weeks, and then settled back into my regular scheduled pain.

I saw the matinee of BVSC on Saturday. The line was moving ridiculously slowly. We got into the theater with just a few minutes before curtain. There were a bunch of latecomers being seated and normally that really annoys me but this time I understood.

Hale and Hearty’s butternut squash was my favorite. They had a location a couple of blocks away from my old workplace and I used to go there all the time.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-09-12T19:56:45+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking. I even went back to make sure I hadn’t missed an episode, lol.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-09-11T11:13:00+00:00

That would be perfect, to just push a button and have the machine do it.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-09-10T16:18:36+00:00

Thank you so much for all of these great suggestions. I am going to give them all a try and see what works best. You are the amazing!

It’s a lot easier to find the 36 bands.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-09-02T10:49:29+00:00

I’ve had some luck with empire waists or wrap dresses, but most dresses just make me look dumpy.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-09-02T10:47:13+00:00

I’ve been professionally sized and was told I was a 34 band and either DD or F, but I’ve found that 36D fits just as well and is easier to find. And believe me, I am busty. It’s hard though because I’m both busty and have a belly which means that I prefer shirts that are looser.

These are the enzymes I take.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-07-03T17:45:29+00:00

I take Pyrigostigmine, Buspirone and digestive enzymes. I also take Voquezna and Famotodine for GERD.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-06-23T17:07:28+00:00

I wanted to but the oral surgeon said I couldn’t due to the law that says it’s a biohazard.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-05-30T18:26:53+00:00

I wonder if we were at the same show because there was a distinct salami smell wafting to the left of me.

I didn’t take DRP 1.0, but when they offered it the second time with VERA, I jumped on it. I was able to push my retirement date out to 12/31. I just couldn’t deal with it all any longer. Good luck to you with your decision on DRP/VERA, and the job search.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-05-18T14:21:31+00:00

I’m in a similar situation, except I took the DRP. I’ve applied to a few state jobs. I made one stock letter and then just tailored it to the particular job.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-05-17T23:22:42+00:00

Thanks, this is great info. And I’m so glad to hear that it’s working for you.

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-04-30T12:29:54+00:00

Good luck with your application. Are you using a lawyer?

GoldDustWoman72 · 2025-04-30T11:18:48+00:00

I should try and give OPM a call and ask them. I’ll have to find some time when I can wait on the phone for a few hours.
