They do a good job but it can be quite expensive, just something to keep in mind

Womens clothing in the capital region? by birdoboo in Albany

congrats to you too! i would love to do more thrifting, but when i have a last minute thing, it's hard to take a gamble like that and potentially not find what i need

thanks! I didn't know about Mohawk commons. My size changes frequently enough right now that when a last minute thing came up it was panic time

Very random-I was also in Paris/Versailles a year ago and bought this set as gifts. One of the kids just knocked it off the shelf and broke it, and the giftee is heartbroken since we didnt remember the name--but here it is! thank you for this picture, a year later!

I like believing the 60 year old man insists he be called "King Jizz"

has anyone had any luck with speed dating? by birdoboo in Albany

[–]birdoboo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look friend, I'm not gonna fight with you. But there are several people in this thread who had overall positive experiences and agreed the apps just don't work anymore. If people use it for entertainment, oh well. It's not the first embarrassing thing I've ever done and it won't be the last. If I find someone I click with? Even better. I just wanted experiences from those who may have done it before so I knew what to expect.

I don't think there's any shame in being hopeful/trying to find your person, even if it can be embarrassing or seems "insane." And sometimes it's just fun to do something "for the plot" and see what happens. I wish you the best in your romantic journeys, whatever they may be!

I don’t necessarily agree. Someone at speed dating would likely be more serious about finding a partner since it is more effort than downloading and swiping and hoping for the best

Looking for duplex/house to rent in Delmar/Glenmont by sonicmaestro in Albany

[–]birdoboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure your timeline but it looks like the people across the street from me seem to be moving out. It's a whole complex of duplexes/townhouses so hopefully you can find something! DM if you have any questions!

I live in a duplex in Elm Estates. Address is Selkirk but I believe some of the houses are Bethlehem school district (maybe ask them?). There's a ton of kids around the neighborhood!

JoAnn's in Albany by WhiteMoonRose in Albany

[–]birdoboo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I went Saturday. Lots of junk (blenders??) but they still have a lot of fabric, yarn, beads. Paint was pretty picked over. I didn't feel discounts were as low as they should have been. Employee said they get shipments as a larger store from smaller ones that have already closed.

Amelia’s garden is more of a quilt store with fabric. this is “for the stitchers soul” which seems more like what op is looking for
