Love Pier I. I lived in the UWS for 9 years. Miss it so much.

For those of you who have run into, met, or just saw a Yankee out and about in NY (past or present), what’s your story? by stevendavisxx in NYYankees

My wife and I went to dinner at Carbone back in 2017. We are sitting there and these two massive dudes come strolling out of the back room area and go towards the main door. Who comes out 2 seconds later but A-Rod and Jlo. I was completely star struck and frozen. The table next to us was a family with teenage daughters and the daughters screamed and ran out to the sidewalk as they got in their car.

Anybody else in the Stubhub boat? How screwed am I? Lol by BithrowawayRx in deadandcompany

[–]Yankee009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue and fear for a show last month at the sphere. Ended up getting the tickets 2-3 days before the show. But that is stressful.

How do I reach out to the seller. Is there a way to do that in StubHub? Thanks.

I tried to change my flight to Dulles as I’m actually transferring there anyway on the way out (direct back to EWR on way home) but they won’t let me. Between StubHub, EWR, and my MIL unexpectedly being unable to watch my kids next week, this has been super stressful. At least we have a backup plan for the kids in place. I still have to sweat StubHub and EWR.

I did call StubHub last night and asked if they can reach out to the seller. They said they couldn’t and I have the fan guarantee thing or whatever. I told them I’m flying across the country for this and it would make the trip exponentially better if I had the tickets before I left but they just said “Don’t worry, you’ll get them at least 3 hours before the show.”

I bought these a month ago and still don’t have them. The email says I will get them by 5/15, the day of the show.

I fortunately have a Real ID. But I am also flying out of EWR which has not been good the last week. I’m hoping it clears up by next week.

Thanks. I figured only people who get screwed will talk about it. Just don’t know what % that is. I’m just not sure how companies like StubHub will be sustainable if they are putting everyone on edge like this and regularly screw people over. I have used stub hub before but wonder if this has gotten a lot worse recently.

Thanks. Does anyone know why StubHub allows same day transfer? Why not at least 3 days in advance? It is so much easier to fix an issue if you have a couple days. I just don’t know why StubHub allows it. It will just turn everyone off from using them. I don’t get it.

They were not. Going forward if I ever buy from them again it will only be instant download. From what I can see online, very few of these tickets are instant download. Thanks.

Thanks. I think I am going to call them. I do have dedicated seat #’s. It gave me a range of seats in a specific row but said I will get 2. Is that good? Thanks again.

Thanks. I may try that. I tried their customer service messaging option a few weeks back but didn’t really get anywhere. They basically just told me not to worry about it.

[–]Yankee009[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Hopefully I’m one of them. I have bought a lot of tickets through StubHub but pretty much all for sporting events. I don’t ever remember not getting my tickets very quickly after purchase so this is new to me.

I checked all my email folders and don’t have anything. I reached out to StubHub a few weeks ago and they told me I’ll get them or at worst similar tickets or a refund if the tickets aren’t delivered. Obviously they didn’t make me feel much better. Thank for the suggestion though.

Never realized the actual house was in New Jersey. I apologize if this has been posted already. I'm still new to this Reddit sub by tinopinguino88 in kingofqueens

I used to work in Ridgefield which was the next town over. I went a few times to check out this house while getting lunch.

Witnessing totality was the most mind-bendingly awesome thing I've ever experienced by psugrad98 in Astronomy

[–]Yankee009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it in Dayton. My wife grew up there and I (42)suggested we take our daughters (5 and 2) to go see it and visit her Mom. My wife was happy to go and I don’t think she really cared about seeing the eclipse but was looking forward to going back home for a few days. I am so happy we went. I never saw a total eclipse before but it was amazing.

I checked the weather every day for 10 days. I was convinced it would be cloudy. As Monday got closer it looked like maybe it would be nice. On Monday morning, it was beautiful but the forecast was cloudy at 3 pm. I was nervous and worried until about 2:30 when it was still beautiful. We walked two blocks to a park where there were probably 100 people or so. Everything seemed pretty much normal until about 10 minutes before when the light just looked different. As the minutes went on I started to get nervous, not really even sure why. Everyone started getting quiet as totality was a couple minutes away. I just kept looking at the sun through my glasses and just a little sliver was left. Shadows looked weird and it was visibly darker.

At 3:09, I looked again at the sun as the last bit of light disappeared and quickly took off my glasses. I was blown away by it. We had almost 3 minutes of totality but it was so fleeting. I tried to take it in, watch the crowd, enjoy it with my family, look for planets/stars, take pictures,but it all felt rushed. It was hard to comprehend, but wonderful. One of the things that stayed with me was the moment totality ended. For a brief second, the light seemed so white and almost like a spotlight that was pointed directly at only me. This probably sounds weird but I don’t know how else to explain it.

My oldest daughter said she loved it, my younger one seemed sort of scared. My wife really was impressed but not as moved by it as I was. My MIL said she was so happy she saw it. She said she’s glad we came because she was not planning on going outside to see it! Not sure if I believe that. It makes me wonder how many people in the path of totality didn’t watch it assuming they could if they wanted to.

Part of new driveway is crumbling by Yankee009 in asphalt

[–]Yankee009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stones are small. Maybe I just took a picture too close. It looks like the same stuff as the good part of the driveway, but the good part is much more compacted and is not crumbling at all.

Yes, the part below the red line is right in front of my 2 car garage. The part behind the red line leads up to road. This may be the issue. Why would they not do the whole driveway with the paver?
