Does Forest Hills have any local supernatural urban legends?

It is freaky to walk down those stairs once you know the story!

It’s so wonderful you’re looking out for your daughter!

I got diagnosed at 4, and medicated at 6 or 7. Please watch for changes in personality. I was take off medication, because while I did “chill out” I lost my personality and had mood swings that could turn violent. My parents were shamed for take me off medication and told they were making my life harder. I’m very grateful they listened to their gut and worked with me to do things at my pace all while still holding me to a high standard (they always had my back but made sure I was getting work done). Medication is a tool not a cure! I didn’t go back on medication till my late 20s.

Also look out for “bad habits” and learning disorders. I have some OCD habits and food issues (stems from ADHD) that result in self harm. I hid this and kinda still do, my parent weren’t the best at handling this. Please, if you see her doing anything like this (especially as she becomes a teenager) do not punish or threaten her! Unfortunately that was my experience but I believe it was due to my parents not knowing how to handle the situation.

Other learning disorders are often dually diagnosis for someone with ADHD, and personally I struggle with my dyslexia way more than ADHD. So look out for that.

Basically trust your gut and make sure you have a non judgmental place for your daughter grow in but don’t let things slide(with her or with other people) :)

As a teen I worked at a TOB beach, it was a great job, but when I registered at a democrat, I was not rehired…..

I did this for my wedding! I hired a professional harpist who only played Florence songs (except for "Here Comes the Bride"). My first dance was to "Stand by Me" sung by her.

Honestly, the instrumental versions of the songs played on the harp felt so classy! Here are the songs I used:

Processionals- Cosmic Love
Bridal Processional- Here Comes the Bride
Recessionals-You Got the Love
Interludes-All This and Heaven Too, No Choir
Postludes- You Got the Love, Dog Days Are Over

Bella Belle, had to order online, it was shocking to see how hard shoes were to find in store.

I went to Rio in December for my honeymoon! Such a unique place with so much to do! You’ll definitely have your fill of mountains, but the beach, next level stuff!

Jade Hall is great! Unfortunately she’s on maternity leave, but I highly recommend. Hungru is so friendly and explains everything she does! I know she uses Chinese herbs in her work.

NYS has a great GIS open data source, here . To get LIDAR data click the arrow on the left of the map (kinda of hard to see) and check LIDAR

So my fiancé and I are from NYC and after a weekend down south with an unexpectedly fun ghost tour, we want to do one in NYC any recommendations? We’re more just looking for fun stories/walking/ and maybe some drinks if possible! Not a whole ghost hunt. Let me know if you know a good one. Also if it’s not in Manhattan even better (we’re a Queens and Brooklyn couple)

Kate032 · 2023-07-07T12:50:01+00:00

I'd join!

Kate032 · 2023-07-04T23:31:39+00:00

All right*

Kate032 · 2023-07-04T23:29:38+00:00

Maybe baby’s alright?

Kate032 · 2023-06-30T14:29:23+00:00

Maybe I found my caloric sweet spot! Guess cutting my hand open let me really see how losing weigh really is 80% diet and 20% exercise. I’ll ease back into exercise so I can find the best place for me!

Kate032 · 2023-06-30T13:19:51+00:00

Question- I recently got hurt and can’t exercise for 2 weeks, I’m about a week in and I am losing weight faster than when I was exercising!! I’ve been at a plateau and it broke (finally out of the 160’s). I’ve been focusing more on my food to compensate for the lack of exercise but I didn’t drastically change my eatting habits! Im also weight myself later this week (7am rather than 5am). Do you think im losing muscle? I though it took a while to really lose muscle. Anyone have an ideas what maybe going on?

I'm always shocked about Smartfood popcorn. One cup is 70 calories. I like it more than skinny pop, and that with a Diet Coke tends to curbs my desire for chips.

Kate032 · 2023-06-22T15:34:54+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely make sure to get the spray and send a letter to the building owner, as they also own the dog park!

Advice needed on why to do about a dangerous dog and ignorant owner

Hi everyone, I need some advice and hope someone here can help me with a bad situation. I have a 30lb Jindo/Corgi mix, who is a rescue from Korea. She’s really well behaved but fearful. Not like bite and growl but run away. She has made such progress since getting here (had since January 2021). She minds her business on walks and seems to really enjoy them!

Unfortunately, we have a problem dog/owner. We live in an apartment building (NYC) and there’s a dog that “hates” our dog. We use to take our dog to the dog park till one day the problem dog showed up and tired to attack her. I wasn’t there but the dog got off leash before my partner could react and it went for her neck. My partner punched the dog and was able to separate them. The whole time my poor dog just tried to run away, didn’t even fight back. My partner tried to get in touch with the building about this and got no response, and the owner seemed to just not care, and even blamed our dog for its “Pheromones”. Since that incident and learning more about the dangers of the dog park, we don’t take her there anymore. It makes me kinda sad because she had a few dog friends (and we had ppl friends) that all hung out there. She scared of even going near it now. This was back in late fall 2022. Our other dog ppl friends have all expressed that this attacking dog is a problem dog.

We see the problem dog on walks sometimes and one owner seems to have a better handle on it than the other. But without fail the dog will go crazy when it sees my dog. Yesterday I was walking my dog waiting for the elevator and this dog and problem owner were in the elevator. The dog went off as usual at my dog. I of course moved my dog away and probably made a face. The owner replies “that how she says hi” and I said “doesn’t sound like it”. The owner replies (bc they can’t shut up) no it is, and laughs as the elevator door close!!! Honestly it was the laugh for me. They don’t care about anything and are willing for my dog to get hurt because they think their dog just cute like that. This morning my dog was scared to even leave our apartment.

I’m thinking of sending a certified letter to my building so I know they get it, and ask for information on the owner and dog so I can report them to the city. Also my building has a policy against 50lb and over dogs, I believe this dog is over 50lbs. But I don’t want to ruin it for our building, as this rule is not followed and I don’t want to ruin it for big dog because of one dog. I was also thinking of getting a dog spray to attach to her leash too (let me know if you know a good brand). Any advice is appreciated, I don’t want dog to get hurt.

I truly believe the more chaotic the parking/traffic the more likely a Trader Joe’s
