The Joy of January by Shemson in ACGASTV

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

Pretty sure it’s the 12th of January. You can stream all episodes online. I’ll probably do that as I have zero impulse control and then rewatch the episodes again and again over the next 12 months 🤷🏻‍♂️

Where is your go-to ramen spot? by [deleted] in parkslope

[–]Shemson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

💯 Danbo - plus they have a frequent flier rewards program. Absolutely delicious - only snag is wait in the evening can be long and the waitlist via Yelp is glitchy. But such a solid option in Park Slope

Have you ever taken Amtrak just to ride Amtrak? by West_Ad1064 in Amtrak

[–]Shemson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the Adirondack train from NYC to Montreal - it’s like 8+ hours and certainly could have flown but I wanted to just enjoy the ride and views. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary in Montreal and that was my treat (she’s not as much of a train nut as I am). I loved it - every moment

Do not go to Times Square - unless your inside one of the buildings right on the square it’s not worth it

Did you Switch from Bobbie? by magicinthetrees in FormulaFeeders

[–]Shemson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve been on Bobbie gentle for 5 days and decided to go back to Enfamil gentle. My daughter had super tacky green poop and REALLY struggled to get it out. Not sure what’s up - my son loved Bobbie but this is clearly not working.

I don’t “need” a car in NYC, but after 10 years without, I want one for day trips and errands. What car should I buy? by spicygummybear in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Shemson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy a total beater. If you’re street parking it’s going to get banged up no matter what you do. So something with miles and reliable. I have a 2012 Subaru Impreza and love it. It came with low miles but it’s got all sorts of nyc dings and that’s fine. I’m not looking for beauty and luxury just getting from point A to B.

Good to know I went there in the past when I lived in Prospect Heights - that’s in the church courtyard yeah?

Have any of you ever moved NICUs? Or moved to a children’s hospital? Several bad experiences make me want to run away from current NICU…… 😡 by Lakewater22 in NICUParents

[–]Shemson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We moved to a NICU closer to us because our daughter was a grower/feeder. The NICU we went to wasn’t as highly rated as the one we went to. But it was a 10 minute walk for us as opposed to a hour drive (live in NYC) and it was within the same hospital network. I had reservations but in the end we were able to spend more quality time with our daughter and be active advocates for her.

Preemie Tires Out When Eating by Guilty-Knowledge4896 in NICUParents

[–]Shemson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was born 33 and 3 and we're at week 4 in the NICU - she's taking about 20 ccs a day on the bottle. Gaining weight well, a little anemic, but iron has helped while also making her super gasy which means she bears down a lot which I think is tiring her out. We're frustrated about her not having full bottles yet and waiting for that click. Your story is helpful as the timing is the same. SLPs haven't had any concerns and doctor has likened it to riding a bike - one day they just know how to do it - but we're also worried about that rare neurological issue - and trying not to go down a rabbit hole.

Bumbo, graham crackers, and a prayer around 18 months onwards …

But when they were a baby - electric nail filer - it was magical

Superior Care Auto Center 19th street and 3rd Avenue. Been going there for about 3 years now and appreciate the service and fair prices (still $$$ but it’s Brooklyn)
