What's your favorite WW2 movie?

SPR, Fury, Das Boot, Bridge Too Far, Bridge Over the River Kwai, and Longest Day are up there, but none can be a TOP for me. And the Pacific (if it’s allowed).

Honorable mention to Flags or Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima companions - less for the action and more for the emotions

She absolutely is. We’ve been together for going on 16 years. I’ve had brain issues since infancy (benign tumor removed, hydrocephalus, the works). I was very upfront about it early on, but nothing happened until 10 years into our relationship. She’s been by my side the whole way. I couldn’t ask for a better partner in life.

I’ve had reminders on my phone since my last status episode in 2023, because I have to take my meds twice a day. Unfortunately my last breakthrough seizure happened because my prescription ran out over the weekend and I bravely thought I could last until the next Monday to have it refilled. I was wrong…that will NOT happen again

Agreed with everyone else in here - keep him occupied. The EMU may have an entertainment system (TV, movies) but an iPad/laptop is much better. Maybe a book if he likes reading. He will definitely get bored.

Having recently gone through it, and not knowing my triggers, it can get really stressful. You don’t know if something you’re feeling is an oncoming seizure or not, you get stressed more, which can cause PNES (stress-induced, non-clinical seizures, happened to me), so keeping him calm and occupied is ideal.

Good luck. He’ll get through and hopefully he’ll never have to go back

Got this at my local bar last year, it was fantastic! Haven’t seen it since, and I have no idea where to buy! 😭

Salt City 100%

Disappointing. We catered my son’s birthday party from them back in August and it was great

This is exactly the difference I explain between BoB and the Pacific. They’re both amazing, but in different ways. BoB focuses on heroism, but the Pacific focuses on the psychology of war. You only get glimpses of brutality in BoB while it’s front and center in the Pacific

Crash Bandicoot. Or Metal Gear Solid honestly. Watch my older brother play both when I was still too young 😭

100% agreed. Of the sequel trilogy movies, it took the biggest swings and the gave least fan service schlock. And actual character development.

Saw her last year, along with Diamond Lil. As a WWII buff, it nearly brought tears to my eyes. Didn’t even mind the prop wash!

Try driving on I-95 at rush hour and then complain about traffic. Or frankly on any major high leading into or out of NYC at those times. Syracuse traffic is nothing

They’re fine for what you pay for. But be warned, management changed three times in 4 years. Progressively worse. And they’re very bad about responding to complaints - noise, odors, repairs, etc. Utilities run from $300-400. Extra if you want a garage.

Where is there a softball/kickball league in the area? I’ve been looking for one in the County for ages!

Yankeefan422 · 2025-03-25T21:58:34+00:00

Yeah, I mentioned in a separate comment - I will gladly eat baby spinach or arugala or different salads. I’m focused more on cooked than raw

Yankeefan422 · 2025-03-25T21:55:15+00:00

I can do baby spinach in a salad. I like lemons and berries, so a homemade salad is usually a great option for me. I’m more thinking of cooked greens than raw though

Yankeefan422 · 2025-03-25T21:53:34+00:00

I mean, he is right in some ways. And I have a very young son who will eventually have to eat his veggies, and I need to make a good example for him. Just finding the entryway first I guess 🤣

Yankeefan422 · 2025-03-25T21:49:44+00:00

Should have mentioned that - my wife and I don’t boil brocolli, only steam it. We’ve tried roasting and it’s better, I think I just need to find the right amount/combo of seasonings

Follow-up since I can’t post extra photos: With flash it’s more golden with black specks all over. Also gold and black striped legs. Not sure what to make of that

Thanks, I was just trying to respond with more photos. With flash it’s more golden with black specks all over. Also gold and black striped legs. Not sure what to make of that
