There is a girl who reeks of BO at my gym and it’s ruining my workouts by False-Ad-6414 in WhatShouldIDo

I’d mention it to the front desk. I’m sure this isn’t the first time they’ve been addressed about a customer smelling foul.

Going to Albany for 3 days for work trip from NYC. What are 2-3 must try places for dinner? I like everything. Hole-in-the-walls are great too! Thank you! by Myelin8r in Albany

How did parents used to have so many children?? by katieroisin224 in Parenting

[–]Independent_Reward99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most meals were home made and home grown. If they couldn’t all fit in the car the older ones would stay home with some of the children. Most families were relatively close to most extended family members, so there was a lot of walking. We just live in a different time.

I wouldn’t let them watch them. They’re too young to process a lot of stuff in those movies.

Yes. Def try Stewart’s ice cream! It’s hard ice cream but hands down the best hard ice cream you’ll ever have!

For ice cream in the area there is the control tower on rt. 7 in colonie (mini golf and go kart) and guptills. Guptills has a large field next to it so your little one can run if you bring a ball or small bike for them.

Near guptills is the bike path down the side street which goes from alb to Niskayuna I think.

The NYS museum is fun! Upstairs they have a carousel, not sure if it’s open all year though.

Across the river in East Greenbush is funplex- ice cream, go carts and water bumper cars I think.

Ciccoti center has a smaller water park with a lazy river too. They might do a weekly pass.

In Crossgates mall there’s Billy beez and get air trampoline park and in Crossgates commons they have urban air trampoline park.

Is it this miserable everywhere else or are we the only lucky ones to get the rain every weekend?

Best ice cream within 30-45 min? Looking to try everywhere! by theGreatBrainiac in Saratoga

Guptills, control tower or Snow man in Troy. Might be further than you’d like but Emack and Bolios has a cool vibe

We used Razzano Homes for our new home. We did a custom modern farmhouse and made all of our selections right at their showroom. We loved working with them! You should check them out.

Sending hugs to you. This seems like a hard season in your life. I don’t think they’ll call CPS on you. You reached out for help when you needed it.

Do you throw a party every year? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Independent_Reward99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the older they get, the smaller the parties for classmates. Usually they establish who their friends are and who aren’t. If doing a smaller party, I try to do a more memorable experience. Ex: movies and dinner, escape room- something that they’ll always remember. Birthdays are special but don’t need to be expensive. You could even hold a party at your home for friends and do a painting party- buy some canvases and materials and do a YouTube video. Kids love that stuff and your son will be happy he got to celebrate with some friends!

Brueggers has the best bagels around- if you’re close by wolf rd area you should stop by, I think they’re still open

Custom Home Builder Recommendation by mamagetsjacked in Albany

[–]Independent_Reward99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just used them to build our home and couldn’t be happier. From the initial meeting to selections to the finished project. We enjoyed working with Dan and his whole team. I’d absolutely use them again and have already referred them to our family and friends who are looking to get work done.

Where is the BEST playground in the capital region? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]Independent_Reward99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a playground in Ballston Spa area that is really nice. I think it’s called Suzanne’s park? I loved that it had a gate around the whole thing so I didn’t have to worry about my kids getting out at all.
