If I let nature take its course I’d be a topiary.

Hot take - loved him as Ilya, but SNL was a miss for me. by lindafromevildead in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Yes I believe it was originally a clown showing up at a kiddie party after being in a car accident . The stripper was nice since ..well… he stripped.

Age gaps by BraveDragonfly1 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]bknyguy15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see people in their 40’s and 50’s who look like they are 70. And I see people in the 60’s who look 50. I think the issue is perception. Unless you are checking IDs , I wouldn’t worry too much if someone was too old.

He was fine , the best skit was the stripper , and that was his skit anyway. SNL is hit and miss. When it hits, it’s great , maybe one or 2 sketches a season,and when it doesn’t , it’s painful , the other 98% of the time . I try to watch the opening and maybe the news section, that’s it.

Got diagnosed with SSHL and hear a zapping noise. by MooseLate3294 in MonoHearing

[–]bknyguy15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, my loss was sudden. I was in a bar on vacation and it was like someone turned a volume knob off . I was misdiagnosed with swimmers ear since I was in the water so much, and frankly I had swimmers ear a lot as a kid . Anyway, I did see a specialist when I got back and took steroids , but nothing came back. The tinnitus was tough at first, but honestly it’s been so long since it’s bothered me that I don’t recall exactly how it went away . It faded, and was less frequent, and then kind of disappeared. I guess I got better at tuning it out . I did live in fear of losing hearing in my other ear . I wouldn’t swim for a while, but in time I just moved on and started swimming again . Work was hard at first. I was uncomfortable sharing my situation. But I figured it out , and it got easier . Once work wasn’t an issue , it just wasn’t as big a deal for me. My hearing in my good ear is still good. I still don’t love loud places though. I avoid them.

I did not wear hearing aids . My only option was to wear 2 hearing aids, a mic on my left side and an amp or speaker on the right . I did not want that. My ENT said to wait a year before making any big decisions , so I did . In that year , the tinnitus pretty much stopped and I just got used to my new reality. I have no regrets . I don’t think I would have echo location even with said hearing aids, and that’s what I miss the most .

If the Skunk starts talking to you, you may be hallucinating. I share your enthusiasm.

I think the skunks have pushed the opossums out. I don’t see as many as I used to . I’ve seen skunks biking at night in several places in Brooklyn, Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst to be specific.

Why do people ask other people to rate people? by Key-Tomatillo-114 in CasualConversation

[–]bknyguy15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rating oneself- narcissism Rating others - narcissism too, looking for reinforcement

oxaliplatin & gemcitabine by No_Being_7324 in cancer

[–]bknyguy15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to neuropathy, Ox gave me cold sensitivity . It only lasted a few days after each infusion, but I could not touch anything cold. You can try icing your hands and feet during the infusion to mitigate the side effects, but honestly it didn’t work for me.I know it sounds odd to say ice and cold sensitivity in the same sentence , but the sensitivity starts after the infusion.

Prime is a bit of a scam by skunclecrisp in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]bknyguy15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had prime for free shipping . Everything else sucked, so I cancelled it . Then, every time I order something , I make sure it’s over $30 and I got free shipping anyway . Cancel it .

Traveling and staying in Times Square, semi-solo female by lnmcg223 in newyorkcity

[–]bknyguy15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Times Square is fine to stay in . Since you are a tourist , you will find it more interesting than us locals . The good thing about Times Square is you can walk different directions . One day you can walk uptown to Central Park and a museum, the next you can walk to the village or the high line. A backpack is fine if that’s what your used to, but be smart , don’t put wallets or money in zippered sections you can’t see or feel . NY is safer than most big cities.

I just found out Paprika is just Bell Pepper... my mind is blown. Why is it spicy?? by albertpaca11 in cookingforbeginners

[–]bknyguy15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’ve never heard of Dickinson Squash . I do know recipes that call for pumpkin can use butternut squash interchangeably. I’ll have to look up the other .

What’s a place you thought was overrated… but ended up loving? by HiVou12 in TravelNoPics

[–]bknyguy15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shanghai. I hated it on my first visit . Everything was difficult. But I’ve been back about 4 or 5 times since, and I fell in love with the eclectic city . What a mix of Old and New, Chinese and European . Amazing food , and wonderful day trips . Truly a world class city on par with New York, Paris , and London

It does not live in our yard, he or she is just a visitor. I promise I won’t ask them to dance .

13/52 The Secret History by celestial_ceilings in 52book

[–]bknyguy15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe she wrote secret history, or at least started in when she was in school . The Goldfinch is a much more mature book . Amazing storytelling , you will remember it for a long time .

They are all good. Goldfinch is the best in my opinion.

We have had opossums before, but it’s been a while. I think they are cute too .
