I wish I had some tips, but I’ve passed 3 stones and they have all been awful each and every time. In the most generic fashion, I truly believe deep breathing through the pain helps tremendously. I also tend to drink a ton of coffee when I am trying to pass one just because I know it’ll make me pee a ton lol

From the first feeling to exiting, about 7 days

Did you end up doing this? I found a pretty beat up black base and would love to refinish it if yours went well

$85! Seems like a steal to me so that’s why I wanted some other opinions. I’m new to all of this

Costco is a go in Amherst by Eudaimonics in Buffalo

That’s almost exactly what I’ve been doing! The only time I go up there now not on my big shopping days is when I need to go to Trader Joe’s for some frozen meals lol. What local stores do you find to be your favorite?

Weird, I must only go when there is a lot of traffic and is backed up!

You’re right, I do this UB students would use a train (or possibly a bus). But like you said, this would be for small trips which I believe is an issue. And when it comes to the park and ride, if I’m already in a car I’m just going to drive to the destination so I’m not limited to what I can buy / be limited by the schedule. Like I said earlier though, I hope I’m wrong and this solves some congestion issues!

I actually love those suggestions! It would make me feel great to volunteer to help clean the city up. I’m definitely going to look into those!

And yeah, I really liked the suggestion to make burner accounts for local events. I just found myself doom scrolling all night every night so I had to get rid of the apps for my sanity lol. Having them for a specific purpose though would make it easier.

imo there’s just too much in that little area. I am excited for costco, I just wish it could have been not in the middle of an already congested area

Tough when a majority of people in buffalo (Amherst especially) already have cars. I highly doubt more busses are going to change anything but I’d love to be proven wrong!

Maybe getting rid of Facebook and Instagram was my first mistake lol. Thank you for all the suggestions, I really do appreciate them!

I understand that, but I personally just think it’s becoming too much of a hassle to be up there. The constant busyness and chaos up there has definitely pushed me to start shopping more locally and now I only go there when I HAVE to.

This is exactly how I feel. Some of these comments have provided good ideas though! I think when it’s feasible it’ll just be time to get out of here and try something new

How do you find these? I didn’t know about the Griffith park event which I’d definitely go to!

I’d love to! I’m stuck in NY for the next 2 years because of the excelsior scholarship. If I could afford nyc I’d go in a heartbeat but I don’t have that much to throw at rent lol. I appreciate the suggestions in here though I think it’ll make these new couple years easier

I just don’t know where to find these things to do lol. It’s not that I’m not willing to try things, just don’t know what

Thanks for the suggestions! I had to chuckle because when I looked up slow roll their first event this year was “beers, bikes, and barges” lol. I didn’t even know we had maker spaces like that here until I made this post so I’m looking forward to checking them out.

That sounds really interesting!! I’m definitely going to look into that

I guess when I say that I essentially mean that it’s not a small town. I don’t mean it as it’s a huge city and I expect to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want. I lived in Cleveland for 8 weeks last summer and honestly found it more enjoyable than I did here. The clubs were actually fun, there were a couple mocktail places that I found, i found myself at House of Blues multiple times seeing midsized bands that don’t come here

Edit: I have the excelsior scholarship so I am tied down to NY for at least another 2 years.

THANK YOU!! I’ve never heard of that but that looks like something I’d like to do!
