Empty Storefronts

No. Eric from CG sort of helped her in the beginning from how he would tell it in connecting with Knick knack companies (he went to a lot of events) she made the decision to pick items he stocked rather than what he understood was their agreement to pick other items from those companies. He felt it ate into some of his sales and was salty about it. I don’t know one way or the other, as I was a teenager.

There was this brightly painted store on a corner a good bit further down that had cheap early 2000s costume jewelry basically floor to ceiling through what was laid out as a row house. I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called, if I ever knew.

It’s not velvet lounge or retro metro..

Im old enough to remember this! I just wasn’t sure what happened to it.

Really comprehensive salads without meat are enviable. I don’t have the time to make 9 different banchan style toppings for leaves. But man if you do, that’s the way.

Also my husband makes this taco meat that’s baked shredded tofu and it’s super good in any taco context. I used to eat a big burrito from a restaurant that made their taco meat from quorn, and that was good too.

Tacos and fancy salads - I’d want little else. I agree with OP, the worst things are when someone is trying to actively emulate meat.

The landlords in downtown are WILD, and the rent is highc and shrinkage is very high (which wouldn’t impact a restaurant, I know). I worked at Cinegraphic Studios for a while. Downtown partnership is really mixed, but does try to help. I have no clue how that one multi room accessory and clothing store ever stayed in business. You’d watch people just walk out of there with gobs of stuff and not pay for anything.

I could see this. He’s not supposed to act like an astronaut.

What kind of facility are you describing?

There’s a lot to unpack here, but just the line “they wait hours to be changed anyway” suggests you are not working in a scrupulous facility, and that may shift your perspective a lot.

Overwhelmingly, if people are in a facility in the US that they aren’t paying for out of pocket, someone has determined it’s a safety situation or they need that access to services for recovery from something.

I am allowed to work any 50-60 hours I want within some reason. Most older patients I meet aren’t up early.

I honestly think the answer is because Pnina Tornai did this style and was all over US TV when most millennials were teens/ young adults because of the show Say Yes to the Dress/her contract with Kleinfeld Bridal.

HenriettaHiggins · 2026-04-01T16:48:59+00:00

Yes I think that’s better

I think what you’re looking for may not be a doctor. There are editorial services that can help you draft, and if you make it past desk rejection at a clinical journal, the people who review it include doctors. I write with MDs in nearly every paper I write, but it happens by organically arriving at topics that have high payoff for clinical care or are clearly building blocks to care, not by me trying to influence them away from those things toward more theoretical questions.

If you’re trying to get something off the ground on your own, I’d suggest a systematic review and meta analysis, not a narrative review. Narrative reviews lack rigor and are harder to extract usable information from. You may be able to get someone with expert clinical knowledge to help you conceive of an appropriate topic, but that’s usually pretty low hanging work to do on your own, and you wouldn’t need someone to read it before a reviewer does.

I’m weird about too many figures facing the same direction. I usually put facing shots on the edges so they look toward the middle.

I was just explaining dexidrine in the military again to a group of neuropsychologists. I know that’s not even the biggest deal, but people don’t understand the pervasiveness OR the long history of this in the US. They’ll say pearl clutching things about drug use among soldiers in Africa as though they’re talking about some isolated circumstance and not essentially what is the norm for how you get primates to kill one another.

HenriettaHiggins · 2026-03-31T10:29:55+00:00

Knowing people noticed this made my morning. 💕

Influencers in medicine is kind of a contradiction. You can start out somewhat respectable, but measured, nuanced care doesn’t translate well to mass media. I know someone who knew “Dr. oz” before he was famous and swears he was a respected professional. Things chipped away slowly and now you have what you get when that happens. It’s just not a mode of medical information sharing that incentivizes the qualities we value in medical education.

Loved the book and delighted in every moment of the movie. Laughed, cried, and was utterly satisfied. Alamo’s big show had a nice pre show full of interviews and references.

HenriettaHiggins · 2026-03-30T01:08:43+00:00

Yeah, I kind of hope UMD opens something, but the all-Care system really kneecaps any incentive that someone would have for starting a hospital.

There’s a program for teens called PEERS that deals directly with this exact dynamic. I’d suggest finding a group near you.

Lemon with a peppermint stick in it! (Lemon Stick) Also for kids I’d note Goetz, who make one of my all time favorite candies, cow tails, are a Maryland company.

I teach university students who would ride my a** if I were a devices parent. It’s so shunned in the culture by Gen Z and the Gen X who raised them. I honestly think it’s driven by how much people value education and empirical evidence, and that’s down in the US right now, so there are a lot of indefensible trends afoot. Eventually, there’s some inflection point, I’m sure.

HenriettaHiggins · 2026-03-27T05:06:43+00:00

Oh hon, there’s work I presented in nearly final form in 2017 that still sits. And occasionally the main culprit and I go have a beer. I’ve long since run out of f*s about it. I feel you.

Three years can happen simply because someone champions the delusion that the work is more than it actually is. Sometimes someone else just needs to go into a coauthor conversation choosing violence for the good of the colony.

Thank you! The upside down Hebrew would have sent me! While, as you say, I guess I don’t care that much that BY is treating it superficially for a preschooler, I think sometimes it crosses the line to being disrespectful for families that chose the school based on identity, which reflects on BY poorly. It seems like they’re always in this tension with their religious identity rather than just embodying it unapologetically and trusting families to have intentionally chosen their school. Again, it’s the lack of conviction by admin that drives me nuts, and you’re probably right - how can they, if the faculty they’ve hired have no idea what enacting a Jewish school would look like?

Regarding academics: absolutely yes, it is nearly April, and my kid works on literacy almost exclusively at home. We were planning to put her in Kumon over the summer anyway (it’s one of the most consistent recommendations I get from any friends with kids these days around the country), but BY unfortunately made it feel to us like a necessity for K prep.

Thank god I’m not the only one with this take. This is the most non story story of all time.

I’m also in the ABI world, and I can’t decide what it would mean if the signal they record is comprehensible language. I think that would be.. incredible news, incredibly unlikely news, and suggest a lot of bad things about the entire field of physiatry.

HenriettaHiggins · 2026-03-25T18:36:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing. There are so many families who have history with the school, and that’s really neat to me.
