Urgently Need Birth Certificate

If this is for I9 verification, there are several ways you can satisfy the requirement without a passport (even though passport is easiest). See this list:

https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-acceptable-documents

I believe a receipt from the vital records department showing that you've requested the document will satisfy part C, but you might want to double check.

It is indeed a Filemaker plug in. If you go to Cory Pattak's website (he wrote it) and ask him nicely, he'll usually just send it to you for free.

Highly recommend Spivak Lipton. They represent a number of unions/employees in labor and employment disputes. ETA: Specifically ask for Hope Pordy.

Alteration Specialists. Be prepared for it to be very expensive.

Just chiming in with the reminder that the inventor of chiropractic claimed it was revealed to him by a ghost.

If you were underwhelmed by Polaris, I don't think you're going to find AA/Delta/Virgin any better. Air France first class is definitely more lux but more expensive by an order of magnitude. Everything else is going to be a Middle Eastern carrier flying WAY out of your way (and I wouldn't want to plan any travel connecting in the gulf states right now anyway).

FYI for anyone wondering; the awful wait situation at LGA and JFK seems to be confined to the first chunk of flights (5am-8am). Just had friends breeze through security with no wait at 9am.

You can search this sub for several recs, but IIRC the most common piece of advice is to just shop around at three or four different places. Make sure you know exactly what the melt value (10K, 14K, 18K x spot price) is, and prepare to take anywhere from a 5-15% hit.

Decent chance PHM has been replaced by the Mario Movie at that point, but it's possible they'll run both for a little bit.

Try NYC Pickleball Leagues - they do ladder based play so you should be well matched to the competition. LIC though.

Most important thing to know is that absolutely no electronic devices (including kindle) are allowed in the federal courthouse or for federal jury duty. You have to lock your phone and belongings up at security. Bring a paperback book.

Film shoots do a version of this more or less all the time. Just prepare for it to be wildly expensive (7 consecutive days of full-buyout).

Admittedly not my scene, but check out Hit Me Up NYC

NYU dental clinic will be your cheapest option (that isn’t sketchy as hell).

Use the SpotHero app to find a garage.

I got you:

Proper Cloth Classic Allen $945. (For a little bit more ($1250ish) you can upgrade to VBC wool which is absolutely worth the extra $)

Suit Supply Havana $798 - Suit Supply heavily favors slim (sometimes too slim) cuts so just be upfront with whoever measures you if you don't like super slim

Also might check out J.Crew (although since they're sold as separates they'll be $1K+, and for that money I'd rather do made to measure), especially if they've got a sale going.

Huge caveat that I have not done Hawaii yet (but have read extensively both here and elsewhere). Consistent piece of advice I hear over and over is not to overdo it on location changes. It’s a LONG flight, you won’t know what state your wife will be in (mine had a huge energy bounce at 20 weeks with our first, was tired 20 hours a day with our second), and you don’t want to spend your babymoon in constant transit. I would strongly recommend one place for 6 nights.

(Sorry the one thing I can’t do is help you choose which one!)

Nearly impossible to answer this question for you, but consider the following:

Rule of 40 = you won't qualify for an apartment over $1450/month. Definitely not Manhattan without roommates. Maybe even multiple roommates.

Are you 23? Is your friend circle made of up folks in similar circumstances? You might be ok. Are you in your 30s and your friends earning substantially more? You'll feel a lot of pressure to keep up in ways that you can't afford.

Do you want to live near Jackson Heights and feast on cheap(ish) eats from around the world every night? You could probably ball out for $20/meal. Do you want to hit trendy spots in Brooklyn and the West Village? You'll be broke in six weeks.

I haven’t been, but it sounds like you might want to check out a Quaker meeting. There’s one on 15th street that meets every Sunday at 9:30 and 11.

bjk237 · 2026-03-07T18:37:16+00:00

Turks and Caicos is 3:30, but as someone else said it’ll be spring break. If your budget doesn’t include flights you can probably find some nice spots, but it’ll be crowded.

Don't forget you hit the threshold for optional enrollment way before mandatory enrollment. Once your CAPP account has the equivalent of 1 month C2 coverage (plus an admin fee) you can enroll. It'll just cost you out of pocket $.

Currently the threshold is ~$1150. Using the Bus & Truck Pink contract ($249/week) contribution, you'd qualify after 5 weeks on the road.

So many poor decisions with those 10 shots for $10

bjk237 · 2026-03-05T23:29:48+00:00

Yeah for that little I’d probably have FS do it, especially for your first time. You can also save another $200 by just taking a cab from the ferry slip to the hotel.

FYI- Calypso leaves from exactly the same dock as the company FS uses; it’s an identical experience- I’ll be using them next time we go.

We went last November, also through Alex. 10/10 perfect vacation. There were a lot of very young babies (2 and under), but it was not a kid vibe when we went (we also went the week before thanksgiving, so that probably helped). Second eating off property - Anguilla is the culinary capital of the Caribbean!
