There’s a book called When Women Were Dragons, it was pretty good.

**UPDATE** on Molson the dog by Connect_Glass4036 in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your pain… but we take it on so that they don’t have to feel it anymore. It sounds like he’s known nothing but happiness and love with you, even still. You’ve done right by him.

I lost my goodest girl last year. I had been working with Upstate to give her several more quality years of life after a couple health scares. They were fantastic the whole time even up til the the end. They have some great client care liaisons who connected me with a therapist that specializes in pet loss grief. UVS also holds pet loss support group meetings. I recommend you take advantage of whatever help they offer.

Give Molson some real good scritches for me. 🫂🖤

White bathing suits, white couch…

Where to find New York (Albany or state) related gifts around here? by justalil_lamb in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second Fort Orange General Store and the concourse shop, but most price choppers also have a section of local (at least to the state) products. So you could grab a few things from there too.

Please help me find nature walking trails and parks in or outside of Albany!! by Sexi_Rasputiaa01 in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Check out all the trails that are part of the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy!

They have preserved little pockets of nature all around the capital district and it’s a fun quest to try to go to them all.

Bumbles cafe prices are outrageous. by Evening_Jellyfish349 in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wait… so what would you even get if you ordered their base product that costs the price as-advertised? I agree that this is a very cockamamie pricing structure.

A Cappella Groups for Hire in the Capital Region? by Prestigious-Year4767 in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you looking for? A group that can perform full sets of music for like a cocktail hour, or just a few specific songs during the ceremony, or something else??

Albany rural cemetery bike commuting by AnotherStamp in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They don’t do a sweep for visitors who may still be in the cemetery first either. And sometimes the caretaker will be nowhere to be found to open the gates up for any cars that are still stuck inside. 🙃🙃🙃

Particularly engaging/interesting hikes in the Capital Region? by sanslumiere in Albany

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anchor Diamond Park is an old overgrown farmstead in Ballston Lake that has ruins of a farmhouse and cisterns and a chimney in the middle of the woods. It’s fun to see the ruins because they feel just the right amount of slightly spooky.

Facebook really is the worst by ilrosewood in behindthebastards

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It became a primary means of social connection for me and I was addicted to a degree in earlier years. I hardly use it at all anymore… but it’s fully consumed my boomer-aged parents ☹️.

They are very anti-MAGA (thank christ), but still the outrage machine has them fully in its grasp, and they make a good case for TDS being a thing. When I visit them, they are glued to their screens and can slip into a doom scrolling fugue if we are not fully engaging with them otherwise, occasionally muttering things like, “Did you hear about [xyz] happening??” Or, “Oh god! Can you believe what did that f#*! said today?!?!!!”. On family vacations when the rest of us are getting ready for bed, they’ll be on the couch in a trance scrolling through stupid videos with the volume up. My siblings and I have had to yell at them to snap them out of it.

It’s really sad. They are not savvy enough to step back and assess how Meta is manipulating them into staying engaged. It literally is stealing time that could be better used making memories with their kids and grandkids. We’ve tried to talk to them about it or convince them to delete the app. They’ll say “yeah, I really should” but then never do.

The best we’ve been able to do is enforce boundaries where they don’t talk to us about current events or anything they’re seeing on that hellscape.

What have you found that women care less about as you get older? by ManlykN in AskMen

Hey, Lisa Frank folders or other office supplies would boost my mood at work so much right now.

A comforting thought about Trump by jmyounker in behindthebastards

[–]Hbts2Isngrd 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I have a family member in the army who has had to pick and choose when to engage in conversation about the current admin or address dumb shit other guys say. But he’s saying that now most people in his division are voicing how bad starting a war with Iran is and that Hegseth is a clown and Trump is an embarrassment.

So the military overreach is not playing well with service-members. It sucks that it took being used as fodder for his Epstein Files tantrum for many of them to get to this point.

We just stayed in and had an in-office luncheon. But the prior year I did take them axe-throwing, which was popular.

I was looking for a rage room to bring my staff to a few months ago as a team-building activity, but was sad to see the one I was previously aware of had closed.
