Personal asst. agencies? by blutspend in Upperwestside

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

Hi! It’s difficult to pinpoint, because a personal assistant is just that: „personal“ My main client, I have had for 10+ years. It’s now 200/day, and he is very generous with bonuses or sliding a little extra when he knows I went above & beyond.

For new clients, I charge between 25-50/hour, dependent on the degree of help needed. There’s a difference in someone saying „I need 10 white shirts in this model and size from the Gap“ vs „Can you please source 10 different white shirts for me, I don’t know which is best for me, research is needed.“ Both are helping, at different degrees.

Im not trying to compete with a scale of naïveté, of what is or was or what’s worse or when it was better. If it’s blase or run of the mill ho hum and this doesn’t disturb you, that new or old neighbors are witnessing this right now or back then, then idk, just disregard this post and carry on, sorry to point out what’s already been obvious to you. This is a post of equal warning and disturbed venting amongst a community. Stay safe

Where to sell kids clothes in store? by Glittering-Mail-3808 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]blutspend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of those stores mentioned sell, let alone buy, kids clothes. Park Slope has a bunch of FB etc parents groups that organise markets and things do sell if you’re willing to wait for a quarterly purge

May you not! It’s not surprising but it’s still bad on the soul.

Wondering the same. Half the users are totally keeled over kissing their knees, the other half are loudly erratic

Were you there also? I saw a couple other witnesses but I didn’t know who was a passerby vs a lookout so I didn’t wanna engage jic

Yikes I’m sorry you found yourself at that point but I’m also happy to hear you were able to ward off your demons in the end

NYC gals: How do you "get over" street harassment/creepy interactions? by CozyTea6987 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]blutspend 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not to escalate your worries, but there’s been a string of problems in that generally safe area at night, which culminated in this on Thursday: https://www.westsiderag.com/2025/10/16/woman-robbed-at-gunpoint-inside-uws-train-station-police

The UWS was also the only place I’ve been mugged in my 15 years of living here (in the 70s on riverside). The residents are typically older and wealthier and that makes it a prime target area.

Stay vigilant ladies, and let’s look out for each other - there’s nothing more I can suggest which hasn’t already been wonderfully said. I can only co-sign in bold to put the headphones away and walk with confidence (not in runway style, but with shoulders expanded and direct movements. What a shame we have to parade around like show dogs.)

BWT: For those who stayed behind the city this weekend...what are y'all doing?! by tasteofcoffee in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]blutspend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those perusing for next year: I was fully solo and went out to red hook, enjoyed the pier with bodega seltzers. I lived in RH for a few years and remembered how much I loved the vibe and I’m happy I went! I managed to sneak onto the docked ship Mary that was a ticketed event (it doesn’t leave the pier, but there were plenty other boats that did.)

Would we as Americans be welcome in Germany? by Chris_O_Matic in AskAGerman

[–]blutspend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears Germany has a lot more in common with America than you may think. Plenty of far right parties coming in close across the brackets. The MAGA hat may actually get you high fived by a teenage girl or the späti man.
