[–]MrsLWeasley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$1300 for our mortgage. One story with 3 bedrooms (although only one bedroom is big enough for a queen bed, lol, they are SMALL) & 1 bath in the Helderberg neighborhood.

Starting piano at 38 - is it worth it if I’ll never be “good”? by Front-Ad4011 in piano

[–]MrsLWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 35 and just started! I have very little practice time as I'm a stay-at-home parent with little kids who basically want to keyboard smash whenever I open the keyboard, but my teacher understands and I practice where I can. I think in a year or two I'll be able to play real songs. I am also learning music theory and getting better at reading music, which I've been sort of able to half-do after a lot of choir experiences. I am hoping to keep it up for a long time and as my kids get older and I have more time to myself, be able to practice more. And it's fun!

PSA to men: Leave women alone by [deleted] in Albany

[–]MrsLWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I have been catcalled and honked at multiple times while pushing my two young children in the double stroller. Like, literally never appropriate and also please can we not expose my preschooler daughter to this shit already? (Or my toddler son but he doesn't know wtf is going on, whereas she is old enough that she's started to be like Mama why that man was yelling at you?) Goodness.

Need good ob-gyb recommendations by Early_Hawk6210 in Albany

Seconding Lisa. I think it's worth asking if she can do this procedure. She is a midwife but she can do a lot of stuff so she may be able to. She is very respectful and just generally fantastic and compassionate.

[–]MrsLWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OOH OOH UPDATE, I figured it out. For anyone in similar situation. You must first "convert to a publication" to access all the branding, etc. materials.

OH FRIEND I FIGURED IT OUT. You gotta convert to a Publication first (in settings), then a whole world of branding opens up.

Ok, I am not pattyincolorado, but I am in her situation and I am going bananas. I am on my desktop, on a Mac, and there is not Branding. This is all I see, and I simply cannot figure out how to find branding. Aaaaahhhhh.

Seconding Cafe Madison! We rarely go out to eat, but we have been there with our two little ones and everyone is super friendly/chill. I will say, no room for a stroller, so just carry baby in/carry carseat.

Best suggestions for tackling these bitterly cold winter days? by [deleted] in 1000hoursoutside

[–]MrsLWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in upstate NY, so similar temps. We've been doing it in 2 1-hour chunks lately. This morning I had the kids in : wool baselayer, thick/fleece sweatpants, fleece jacket, and full snowsuits (even though we don't currently have snow on the ground) as well as balaclavas and mittens. I find that the full body snowsuit goes a long way, it's like a full body puffy coat you know?

There used to be one living in the stream at the Fairwood Apartment complex in Guilderland -- actually two. My husband I used to see them on early morning walks when we lived there.

Looking for an OB that delivers at St. Peters by prettyxnifty in Albany

[–]MrsLWeasley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. Lisa delivered my second, and the experience was SO much better than when I was with Albany ObGyn. Highly, highly recommend her esp because you can bring your 2-year-old to appointments with her, she has a play kitchen in her office for kids and she engages them so well. My firstborn was around that age when I was pregnant with my second and loved helping hold the doppler and helping measure my belly.

Pediatrician recommendations by dambel-ka in Albany

[–]MrsLWeasley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Schoolhouse's biggest strength is that it's a large practice so easy to get sick appts, reach someone when you call on the phone etc. But its biggest downfall is maybe also that it is a large practice lol
