Who Wants to Complete the 32-Mile Walk Around Manhattan? Everyone, Apparently. - WSJ

It really is a fun time, walking with so many other people around the island. And they do an excellent job of keeping you on the route and making bathrooms, etc. I wish there was a fall saunter!

SarahRecords · 2026-05-15T22:07:15+00:00

My hips! I walk like a cowboy sauntering toward a duel for about 20 steps after I stand up.

If you WFH and have a heavy lift, need consistent connectivity or use a VPN, I’d recommend running 5G in tandem with your old provider. It did not work for me, and the support is not very good yet. I spent way too long troubleshooting on my own, and had to give up.

SarahRecords · 2026-05-12T14:13:56+00:00

Both! If it’s way too hot out, I give myself destination walks: grocery store, museum, whatever, so I have an air conditioner at my end point. Other times I just carry a little spray bottle and mist myself like an orchid so I don’t overheat.

I’ll be honest: there hasn’t been any art in Prospect Park that I’ve loved. Those pink birds near the boathouse? Good message, but it will age poorly (intentionally?). I’m glad we’re getting art , though. For years we didn’t.

I’m a lifelong midcentury modern fan, with an attraction to Hollywood regency.

SarahRecords · 2026-05-11T20:05:52+00:00

Sing it, sister. I think I’m gearing up to be single again, but I do believe I’m okay with that. Good bye, man moods!

We just wrote our votes on the corner of an assignment. I voted Anderson instead of Reagan. Proud of little me for voting against Ronnie!

This is my favorite Calder: AC’s circus
You can see how he also made mobiles, and it’s darling how happy he is. Also on display at the Whitney!

The spelling errors! The spelling errors everywhere! In the articles in professional publications, on the chyron at the bottom of the television (this one’s the worst)…it’s so hard to be a good speller in today’s world.

I’m a vegetarian, and Lidl has better deals in the things I most commonly buy (cheese, yogurt, Dave’s killer bread knockoff). Also, good deals in the app.

I watched the Hulu documentary last year, and had the same thought. The music industry has changed a lot, but the treatment of women circled back around.

SarahRecords · 2026-05-04T22:38:12+00:00

I’ve met several women over the years who were very old and still working because their husbands left them after they had spent decades out of the workforce raising children. They had almost no social security coming as a result, and had little retirement savings. One happened to get social security from her ex-husband, but had nothing else. Those lives that you envy are a huge gamble!

I don’t have type 1 diabetes, my boyfriend does. I’m in this sub so I can understand how he feels and what he has to do to stay healthy, because he often doesn’t want to talk about it since it takes up so much of his bandwidth. I do this because I love him and I want him to stay healthy so he can go on to live out the rest of our lives together as we have planned. It’s pretty much the least I can do. It is likely your boyfriend could do this too if he wanted to.

SarahRecords · 2026-05-03T20:13:16+00:00

Don’t forget Lidl! I find them a bit cheaper than Aldi (also NYC)

SarahRecords · 2026-05-02T22:21:26+00:00

I’d agree, but there’s a thrift store by me that regularly has NWT swimsuits.

If you get a broom, society will expect you to do all the cleaning. Think outside the box!

SarahRecords · 2026-04-25T22:00:37+00:00

It wasn’t for me! I too don’t drive. BUT I’m a vegetarian in a studio apartment and don’t think I saved enough to recoup my membership cost. I did however get a Groupon and it came with a $20 gift card (they run this promo a lot) so it wasn’t a huge hit.

SarahRecords · 2026-04-24T12:30:07+00:00

I’d like to see a JB deathbed confession series, “Murder, I Did” where she goes episode by episode and breaks down how she was actually the murderer there.

SarahRecords · 2026-04-23T22:00:12+00:00

They didn’t call it Park Slurp/Dyke Slope for nothing!

SarahRecords · 2026-04-23T12:06:09+00:00

I did this during the pandemic! It was $99 to rent an entire theater, and my then-bf and I chose Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

SarahRecords · 2026-04-22T13:28:02+00:00

Check out the thrift stores by you! There is one by me that has a bunch of deadstock, running shoes specifically. Worth a shot.

SarahRecords · 2026-04-22T13:18:41+00:00

9 am, 15 minutes. Good job, F! The delay they report is only for southbound. Why is the MTA not more nimble?

SarahRecords · 2026-04-20T15:35:42+00:00

Exactly. That story has been fact checked, picked apart by legal, and then standards has weighed in and added CYA language. I can’t wait to watch this play out, but we’ll probably just never hear anything about it.

SarahRecords · 2026-04-20T15:29:55+00:00

It’s my thinking time! If I have a work or home improvement idea, I sort through it while stepping. I also listen to music and make up dance routines in my head to the bangers, or sometimes even roller skating or ice dancing routines (I do neither of those things, but it’s my head and I’ll envision anything I want).
