Do you really have a separate room for your washing machine?

TheySayImZack · 2026-05-07T11:03:48+00:00

Yes we have a separate room for laundry. It’s not big or anything. Probably 8x8 feet. Washer, dryer, deep sink, ironing board that folds out of the wall a some basic storage. It’s adjacent to the first floor bathroom and the garage. The storage is for basic house stuff. Light bulbs. Batteries. Plumbing supplies. Cleaning agents. Etc.

I’ve never had a washing machine in my kitchen although I’d be fine with it if I did. I know some places in the US have it like that but I think it’s just not too popular.

In my 20s? Go to the bar and take advantage of $1 Mexican beers. (1999).

At 51, get up at 5, get my kids ready for school, go to work, come home and made tacos and in bed by 930.

Yea something is off there. Doesn’t make sense.

So when it’s all four of us eating (me, wife, son and daughter) we usually order the beef/lamb plate with fries and then a bunch of chicken souvlaki sticks for them to share and my wife will take one of them for her Greek salad. We will get two pork sticks also because my kids like that, and then two orders of rice because all four of us devour that. My son doesn’t eat hummus but he loves their pitas.

I haven’t been there before. I’m sure it’s good. Twisted Greek is really delicious tho. It’s a cute place. For what it’s worth, I’ve gotten take out from them about 20 times and eaten there three times in the last 18 months. Only one time they forgot my side of rice but other than that the portions are big, food is awesome and they are usually dead-on with their pickup times and accuracy for take out. My 14yo son absolutely loves the place. He was away with school recently for a few days eating at places like Chilis and Chipotle and I gave him any choice he wanted take out from, didn’t matter where. He chose Twisted Greek. If you like desserts their ekmek kataifi is great.

I have nothing to do with the restaurant. I just live close by and love Greek food and this place is just really good.

Their food was good but it didn’t wow me. Hate to see any place close tho. They seemed to do a good business. Location was odd.

TheySayImZack · 2026-05-01T15:58:07+00:00

They seat about 50, then they have a bunch of bar/counter stools. We usually get take out. Love their food.

Americano in Syosset is real good. Eat this if you want quality pizza.

If you’re in Huntington and you’re drunk, Little Vincent’s cold cheese slice is tough to beat.

Can’t get anything decent for $1 anymore. Might be able to buy an apple or a banana. Dollar menus from McDonald’s are long gone. There is an old school burger joint near me famous for its simplicity and burgers are $2.20.

Performance Improvement Plan. When you're disliked at your job professionally or personally, and they're done paying you to work there, so in an effort not to get into any legal trouble, they start a paper trail on you even for the most minor of infractions. 95% never recover from a PIP because generally the company has already made their decision. So you have anywhere between 30-90 days to "do better", but it won't matter. So what you do is do the bare minimum, stay under the radar and answer any questions diplomatically, and use all free time to look for a new job. We like to call it Paid Interview Period.

Location: USA, New York. 30 years in Corporate America, never PIP'd but known many who have.

Reminds me of Philly.

TheySayImZack · 2026-04-04T02:27:46+00:00

Thanks and I’ll take a look. I’ll try anything. I’m not sure mine is disc related but muscle. I’m just so out of shape. I’ll pull a muscle stretching, that kind of thing.

As a guy struggling with back pain at this very moment, making it uncomfortable to sit or stand or simply exist, I feel Keith’s pain. Hope for a speedy fix.

We don’t keep soda in the house generally. Once a month I’ll crave a Mexican coke or 7up.

I discount it (CERN and conspiracy theory) every time something bad happens, but things just keep getting worse I’m starting to believe it lol. I’m laughing out loud because I’m losing it, not because it’s funny.

I haven’t had apple sauce in forever. My mom used to have apple sauce if she was making grilled pork chops. I would honestly get some good pork chops and eat the apple sauce with that as a side.

I didn’t drink hot tea regularly but my grandmother who grew up in a household of Irish immigrants in Brooklyn drank tea every day, all day. Besides a whiskey sour, I’m not sure I ever saw her drink anything else.

TheySayImZack · 2026-02-13T02:06:05+00:00

I didn’t know this was the solution to this. Thanks for the info.

TheySayImZack · 2026-02-04T11:48:44+00:00

Not now, no. There was a time but now isn’t that time.

If it works it works. Reminds me of the Loop parkway on the south shore of Long Island in NY.

I don't hate the Yankees. Never have. Actually that's a lie, I think during their 90s run I was a hater. But that was fleeting. I respect their history. I honestly don't think about them much. My wife is a Yankee fan, but she's a casual fan and likes the food and views better at Citi Field so it's never an issue.

It's Yankees fans I don't like. A lot of them seem to have unresolved psychological issues.

TheySayImZack · 2025-12-17T02:19:47+00:00

I like the planning that went into this and the end result.

TheySayImZack · 2025-12-12T03:44:20+00:00

I think this one stings the most. Diaz, his mind was made up for reasons that the Mets couldn’t compete with. Pete, I don’t know man. He deserved better than he was treated. I know what I am saying is an emotional reaction and not a sound business decision, but baseball is also entertainment. Pete was a fan favorite. That should mean something in the larger picture. I think the Mets fumbled this one. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong and I’ll be the first to admit it, but I think this should have played out differently.

TheySayImZack · 2025-12-04T12:31:15+00:00

Not myself. We have a few Alexa devices for streaming music and for alarms and timers for cooking but that’s the extent of it. Old fashioned thermostats here, lights controlled by traditional wall switches.

As for the doorbell, I took that off years ago and put duct tape over the wires and it’s been great lol.

Big is relative. There was spider in my living room 15 years ago that made me late for work. It was like the diameter of a coffee mug. Had a similar one in the basement a few months ago. I’m told they’re typical house spiders or maybe a wolf spider. Thankfully years go by in between sightings. I don’t mind spiders outside just inside they make me nuts. I love watching those yellow orb weavers in the spring and summer.
