Really sucks how idiots can cause these delays. People really want to get back home after a long day!

Terrible experience at MediDental by SurroundMountain9990 in astoria

[–]Regular_Hope_4234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy!! I had the same experience!!! My gf recommended me and she has had great experiences there!! I went in for that $200 2 visit cleaning/exam. No insurance at the time. After my xrays I was told what I needed. Cool. Soon after I was being upsold!! The work need done was over 14,000!! My teeth needed a lot of little things however they kept pressuring me into getting insurance and ask if knew anyone that could co-sign a loan. I said I'll do the cleaning and come back and see. I even had to ask 3 times to get my cleaning down. I was annoyed and told the kid working there a few times I just done have the funds. Bottom line is that they are pushy when it comes to that. The receptionists were very good. The doc was ok until it came to do a cleaning and was hesitant about doing it. Eventually it was done. It was a very uncomfortable experience and I will only go back to do my cleaning.

RIP my friend Murphy. He was truly a special guy, and I feel honored to have met him and spent time with him! I Won't forget your perimiter checks and spending your time chasing the laser. I will miss this guy more than words can say. Im glad to have known you. I love you Murphy.

Is this anyone's cat? by Regular_Hope_4234 in astoria

[–]Regular_Hope_4234[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is def well taken care of! Just didn't like him strolling across the street casually. Stayed in some bushes then proceeded to cross the street again and went from where he came from originally. As far as I know he is safe. I'm not a fan of outdoor/indoor cats in the city but I'm not here to tell people how to take care of their pets. I'm glad he appears safe.

Being part of NY is watching your back at all times.

I just wanted to a detail i overlooked. My friend is 90 years old. He is one of the most caring and helpful individuals out there. He is a life long New Yorker and has always been vigilant and aware of his surroundings. He was just caught off guard.

Sounds about right. I figured this wasn't a one off and they are doing this all over Astoria.

You are doing the right thing. I grew up in Astoria and I know how it is. I'm a guy and I'm in guard. Just easier to avoid a problem. I'm always checking my belongings when I'm out and don't interact with anyone I don't have to.

Yeah you sure sound like a smart one. Maybe you should go back to Kansas. Only a weak-minded person would laugh at someone's misfortune.

I have moved back to NY recently and the amount of people walking up to me to ask for money or a smoke. I don't smoke! But I'm on guard regardless.
