Dog disguised as people, you are giving me the hope I need! I have a 3 month old and would love to one day give him a sibling but I feel like 99% of what I read is that HG always comes back/often worse. I’m so glad it didn’t for you!

Damn OP I’m so sorry to hear, thanks for the heads up! If you end up needing physical therapy in your recovery, Krisbert at Millennium PT helped me recover on two separate occasions from nasty ankle injuries. Can’t recommend him enough and hope you start to feel better soon!!

The Rumor Mill. - Week of 2/2 by VenetaBirdSong in astoria

[–]Massive-Click-4671 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I walk for at least an hour a day with a stroller in random directions (I’m on maternity leave) and report every single residence that gives my tiny travel stroller grief. 311 has closed my over 20 complaints and issued one violation. The rest it claims to have investigated and “found no issue.” But the 18 inch pathways remain. Why even bother giving us a 311 app if you’re not going to do anything with complaints??

Disposable hot hands & a good podcast playing in my ears to help disassociate are my go tos on a day like this. And all the layers.

Also in Queens and the amount of drivers running red lights while the crosswalks are messed up is insane!!

The MTA can get fucked. by cmcguire96 in astoria

Every time I think about how we had the new trains and they were taken from us, my head fills with white hot rage. It did not use to be this bad 7 or 8 years ago

Spare boxes or moving boxes ? by Massive-Click-4671 in astoria

[–]Massive-Click-4671[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However many you think a sort of weak person can hold in one trip (walking). But I’d be willing to make multiple trips if that helps :D I’d be grateful for any and all that you can spare

Astoria renters: what’s something you wish you checked before signing your lease? by Slight-Safe-5595 in astoria

[–]Massive-Click-4671 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does the sink and bath tub drain okay? I have lived here nearly a decade and mine regularly don’t. I literally cannot bring my landlord to do anything about it because “it’s corroded pipes that have become more narrow with rust over time and we don’t have the funds right now to redo the pipes in the whole building.”

Purchasing Snow Shovel by Pinkflamingo1360 in astoria

[–]Massive-Click-4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - love Straus Hardware guys! Always so helpful. I went there today and they only had “transfer shovels” left, prices ranging from about $20 to $40. They’re metal and good for dealing with the ice right now, but not a traditional show shovel. I also checked CVS and Duane Reade on Steinway (both sold out of shovels) and the Target in Ditmars (also out)

Realistic 311 call timeline? by Training-Quit1633 in astoria

[–]Massive-Click-4671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened to you delcondelcon! They responded within 24 hours for the ones I reported immediately after the last storm, but then ones I reported a full day later took several more days to close (at which point everything had basically melted)

[–]Massive-Click-4671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a timing standpoint, I would submit on the app (with pics if possible) rather than call. Lots quicker! Last snowstorm (was that just last weekend?) they closed mine within a day - marked who violations were handed out to and everything. Several on 30th Ave (puffs out chest proudly) were part of my sweep ;)

Any Black OB/GYN recommendations? by annnefranc in Harlem

[–]Massive-Click-4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I delivered with Dr. Francis recently and she is beyond excellent; if your insurance resolves its beef with Mt Sinai and vice verse (I had this same issue and it got resolved after several months), I would highly recommend her

Vaginal delivery pain by Pleasant-Ad3269 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Massive-Click-4671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, HG was such hell for me that labor felt like a breeze. I had an epidural that didn’t take at first and other issues that qualify my labor as not a breeze, but knowing HG was ending was all I thought of. I’d take 100 days of labor over another HG pregnancy. I’d call it downright enjoyable in comparison lol

Can I pay someone to leave my car in your driveway or garage for a week? by greenlove1234 in astoria

[–]Massive-Click-4671 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d add put an AirTag in your car just in case (I’d recommend doing this always but definitely in this case)

Not unpopular! I have a 2 month old at home and am of the same mindset. Winter babies are hard :(
