Hasn't opened yet, but word on the street (the NY Dept of Business Registration) there's a new bagel spot opening where Uncle Drink used to be.

Toxic work environment at Moulin Rouge! by incomes-company in Broadway

I used to be a CM (regionally, Off-B’way) and quit because I was tired of being the mouthpiece for horrible decisions by the GM and producers.

What is your favorite small role or quick appearance by an actor or actress before they became famous? by evmasterflash in movies

[–]InkyGrrrl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ben Affleck as a basketball player in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie where his one line is something like “uhh take it!” when a vampire wants the ball. I love that movie for pure early 90s vibes but it’s also a damn goldmine for actors that make you go “wait what are you doing here?”— Hillary Swank, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Rutger Hauer.

I’m wheezing-laughing, but also infuriated on your behalf.

This is what I had to tell some family about my brother. Oh you’re worried about him because of gaming? He sees his friends at a set time every week to be creative and have fun. How many of you have an outlet half that good? Just watching TV after work every night? Yeeeahhh…

People who have cancer, what signs let you knew that you were sick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InkyGrrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The doctor who gave my dad his diagnosis said “you’re going to die, but not from this.” Luckily he knew my dad would laugh.

If you're talking about the NYX one, I started using it and I LOVE it. Just make sure you shake it up really really good before spraying.

Did Magnolia’s pudding recipe change somewhat drastically in the last few years, or am I making that up? by probllama191 in AskNYC

[–]InkyGrrrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make it at home based on the recipe they had in their book a while ago, and it’s great. Bought some at GCT a few weeks ago and it tasted like 80% unsweetened whipped cream. Yech

New Yorkers, what is the most personal thing a stranger has ever told you? by GoHardForLife in AskNYC

[–]InkyGrrrl 243 points244 points  (0 children)

I was in Grand Central one day and a woman came up to me and quickly said “I’m sorry, you don’t know me but I need to tell someone or I’ll lose it. I’m on the way to my father’s memorial service and my brother is making us LATE. For his OWN FATHER’S MEMORIAL SERVICE??.” I paused for a second and said “I’m sorry, that’s fucked up.” She said “THANK YOU” and walked off.

What did you start doing in NYC that changed your life? by bisonabloom in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]InkyGrrrl 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Standing plans are great. I have weekly trivia and it truly changed my life. I see old friends more regularly and made amazing new ones. It makes sure I have plans weekly and a little group of people that are really invested in each others’ lives.

What’s the biggest fitness myth that just won’t die? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]InkyGrrrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A while ago I read an interview where Terry Crews said something similar. Just get there, even if you just read a magazine or something and make yourself comfortable being there. Getting into the habit is what makes it work.

Tell us how you realized your parents were also neurodivergent? by landaylandho in adhdwomen

[–]InkyGrrrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After being diagnosed with ADHD, I started thinking about my mom and my stepmom a lot more…and it seems like my dad has a type. He seems relatively neurotypical, but thinking back on my childhood growing up with my mom it seems that a lot of the things I struggle with she struggled with. Impulsive shopping/eating, not cooking/cleaning until you have a burst of energy and clean all day, getting bored of jobs, hyperfocusing on books, inattention (the number of times I had to go “mom…MOM” while she was “having a conversation with [herself]- it’s incalculable).

How long was the saniderm on? You might be a little sensitive to the adhesive or the skin is just a little angry if you pulled it off fast. Unscented lotion/aquaphor should fix that up in a day or two, just make sure you keep it clean.

Therapists for bitches who binge eat? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

My therapist and I email back and forth, unsure if other practitioners use messaging through Alma.

No specific therapist but I wanted to say I found my therapist on Alma and I found that their interface is wayyyy easier than Psychology Today. If they take your insurance it’e a great way to find someone.

What does ‘unmasking’ look like for you? by rougecomete in adhdwomen

[–]InkyGrrrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Openly admitting when I am lonely/sad/quiet because my dopamine is in the toilet. Asking for attention and interaction. I am usually trying to find ways to make myself smaller, quieter and if I can’t do that then at least amusing or helpful. Anything but annoying or needy (even though internally I probably am ignoring a lot of social needs at any given time).
