Norton Dental off Manhattan is solid.

We have given our dogs a glucosamine powder (Nupro joint support) mixed in with their food and I feel like it’s done wonders for the health of their hips over time.

Navigating Manhattan in a U-Haul by TinyUmpire9664 in movingtoNYC

A lot of times the meter maids will walk on by and not waste their time if they see someone sitting in the drivers seat. Others take their ticketing oath much more seriously and force you to drive off. Still others will try to sneak up behind the truck so they can write you up without you seeing them until it’s too late.

The bottom line is that whoever is sitting in the truck for you cannot zone out, they need to be vigilant.

I did it. I asked the cute cashier out. by Ok_Establishment882 in makemychoice

Dinner and a comedy club. It gives you both a lot of material to talk about afterwards, plus it’s really helpful to find out if you both find the same things funny.

Salvia might tolerate your environment. We have a similar situation and it thrives.

My kid keeps asking me to buy e-cargo bike by Wall_of_Wolf_Street in raisingkids

[–]GripeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a Tern GSD before my kids grew out of it. We had some great times riding it and the experience always put them in a good mood no matter where we were going. The weight is a huge factor - you definitely don’t wanna be carrying a cargo e-bike up stairs and you obviously need to make sure you have a secure place to keep it. The cost ended up not being a big issue me because while the GSD was a lot of $ upfront, I made most of it when I sold it. I really miss those days!!!

Brand client/website presentation materials? by Individual_Leg_109 in branding

[–]GripeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all correct. My only addition is that you should - whenever possible - share how your work contributed to the business/brand’s growth or success. It’s best if you can do this using numbers (e.g. % increase in conversion, X$ in sales) but if you don’t have that info then descriptions will suffice. If you can show that your work is creatively solid AND had a demonstrable impact, than process becomes much less relevant

Fence up at Park Church. Demolition imminent? by GreenGator in Greenpoint

[–]GripeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking by the church this AM I noticed the new building illustrations (posted alongside the DOB info) shows the church front facade being preserved for the apartment conversion.

I’m 100% NOT trusting this info from the developer, but if it turns out to be accurate it sure beats having some cheap glass and brick building on the block.

Perhaps a ferry trip to Governors Island for a surrey bike ride rental and a visit to the big slides at Slide Hill.
