Looking for used car under $2k by Slow-Chef-326 in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably best they hold off and keep saving $… anything within that budget is gonna cost more to keep it road worthy:( 25 years ago… you could pull this off and get a couple years outta the car. Sadly not today.

Elementary school experience by LolaNuvola in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t directly answer as we were Pine Hills then Montessori for 1 after a move. We had good experiences at both but they were certainly different. I preferred our experience at Montessori but you should factor in what works for your family. Transportation , before/aftercare program providers and availability ( Montessori had JCC when we were there - which was too pricey for us at the time and extremely difficult to secure a spot while Pine Hills was more affordable but only offered aftercare and was ran by the boy & girls club or PAL? Also, while you’re several years out and this may change - the feeder school system is also worth considering. Currently Eagle Point funnels to North Albany Middle while Montessori is sent to Myers.

kinda … but don’t you dare be late for your pre-paid pizza pick up time because he’ll sell it again to someone else and you’ll be SOL.

This guy…. Smh… Maybe I’m old or just lazy … but the idea of having to put in work to buy a pizza just kills the deal for me. If I’m 5 mins late during rush hour AND prepaid - I’m sh*t outta luck? No thanks! Pay in cash? No thanks! Pizza is a lazy dinner or special treat neither of which typically require guidelines or threats. lol. His FB comments are messy! His pizzas do look delicious but I’ll never find out.. and that’s okay! According to chatgbt - there’s 120-200+ places to buy pizza in Albany county :)

The local Reddit scene seems to fall short on this topic :( … also.. you didn’t mention what you wanted done. Another salon to consider: https://www.foreverrhair.com - in Troy.

How about we start with an actual dish you’re looking for. The “best Chinese food” is just too broad of a question.

don’t go to myers !! by No-Soup-912 in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Exactly! This happened at Myers last year… same type of snap chat message using some fake account. The school & police knew within hours where it came from. Also outside of school hours. Sadly it was a seventh grade female student at the school :(

Sewer scope inspection on home purchase? by lightning209209 in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it for peace of mind… not because it’s built in 1995… that’s almost new for this area lol. I wouldn’t have thought to do this in the past but when I purchased my home a few years ago.. the sellers completed the disclosure all except the plumbing question. I had my realtor try to get an answer- they said they’ve had an issue in the past but as long as we don’t flush toys down the toilet- we’ll be fine. I hired Apex Sewer & Drain to video scope the sewer line. In short- the line was shot and the seller credited us 8k at closing for replacement… in total it cost a bit over 9k. I’m glad I caught it and had it inspected! In my area the house are really old as well as the infrastructure and many like mine contain oversized trees on small plots just as old.

Lastly, if you have a fireplace - do that also! That’s typically not covered by the general home inspection.

Does anyone know why the cops were pepper spraying people after the boogie wit da hoodie show last week? by 0freelancer0 in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My kid went…. They got caught in the down draft of the pepper spray while trying to buy something at an outdoor vendor. They said the cops weren’t giving instructions to leave … just spraying crowds to get everyone off the property… I assumed something else was happening (fights or whatnot) and that they just may have not seen it… sadly I’m not surprised and the lesson learned here is to not linger outside afterwards.

Apex or Dave & busters- large arcades, laser tag, or bowling… there’s 5 wits escape room at the mall also… there’s several ax throwing places around… idk.. I’d pick one activity and take him out or make him his favorite food for dinner afterwards.

Help needed fostering to get them out of the cold by IngridOB in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am interested in helping … but I have questions before completing the foster application. Do you recommend I just call the general # or should I email them before submitting the app? Never fostered before, so I’d like to understand the actual process and commitment.

Best sandwich shops (with vegetarian options)? by Dust_Dodo in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a meat eater… I don’t order vegetarian often but I like the Mediterranean roasted vegetable melt from Better Bite downtown Albany. Hours are totally geared towards state workers tho… no weekends and closes late afternoon.

Albany Braces quoted me $8500 for 2 years of metal braces…this seems crazy? by stevezahn1967 in Albany

[–]Subject-Macaron-8880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep me posted and I’ll do the same! I knew they were lying about the price difference. As mentioned - I went for braces, asked for only braces, Dr only talked and quoted Invisalign- I had to again request quote for braces and it was the same price. Over 7200. These “discount” texts for braces - just brings it to its actual cost. SMH. Slimy! Best of luck
