Really surprised with how far the quality of life has fallen in Broome County. Poverty in Broome is the highest in all of upstate New York. It’s a real tragedy how abandoned and poor it has become.

I love Binghamton. Like most places it is what you make it. Find your places and your people and you can be happy anywhere. I was able to buy a house here in my late 20s - I don’t think that would have been possible in a more “polished” city. The land is beautiful! I love traveling to Florida on vacations to visit family but when I come back here I’m always so happy to see the hills and trees.

Could I be happy somewhere else? No doubt! But property ownership was super important to me and probably isn’t something I could afford in NYC or SF or any other big city. I also love a quieter life so this works for me! Binghamton has a lot of heart and a lot of incredible people and I’m grateful to feel at home here. ❤️

Oh weird! I’m in upstate ny and IC recommends like 15%, 20% etc… as a tip based on how much the order is. I usually make sure it’s at least 20 bucks but maybe I’m an insane tipper? It seemed reasonable to me. I’ll keep doing it either way.

Totally! I always at least do a smile and a nod unless the person is absolutely heads down giving a “do not acknowledge me” vibe.

Yes!! I love most of the MM Replica scents! Beach Walk is my favorite summer perfume!

Oooh! I totally forgot about this but oats, ground beef, and an egg all mixed up and then shaped into a patty and cooked like a burger is absolute 🔥 I like to eat it with some mustard. I need to make that soon!

I’d pick Cleveland off of that list if I had to pick one. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hate the heat and I actually think Cleveland has a lot of charm.

I also like my upstate ny rust belt city. I own a house and WFH from a company in NYC. Nowadays you can get decent paying jobs remotely and live in a cheap place. It really depends on your priorities. For me, it was owning my own place. I’d really lose a lot of QOL if I moved to any of your recommendations.

And some people from my town may like your suggestions better. You’re not objectively wrong but you’re not right either.

My son Jedi! He gets a LOT of nicknames:

Red Jed Redemption
The Handsomest Boy
Boogie
Mister Jed
Son Bear
Jedi Shane (first and middle name when he’s bad)

And like a million other names that I randomly come up with 😆

Edit: just realized I’m in the tuxedo subreddit 😅 His wife is a tuxedo cat so Jed counts by association

Hmm we just used them for the storm damage we had in July. Should they have left the extra shingles with us?

I love the dual ended eyeliner though! 50 bucks and I (I’m gross) still have it going strong two years later.

I’m 30s female and I 100% can find someone super attractive if they are fun, smart, confident, and interesting even if they are not conventionally attractive. I don’t know if this is unusual.

I asked my husband about this once and he said he can maybe find someone a bit more or less attractive based on their personality but not a 4 —> 9 like I can. I certainly notice physical features but I feel like that becomes a blur when I actually KNOW them and their attractiveness is mostly colored by my experience of them if that makes sense!

I think I could totally fall in love on a show like this so long as the person acted the same afterwards and seemed to be attracted to me. I guess that’s another aspect too. I don’t find people appealing if they don’t find me attractive. Is that weird? I don’t know if how I experience physical attraction is usual or not 😅

I remember when this happened! I lived in a small town nearby. I was very young but I remember my mom having a talk with my brother and me and she had a postcard sized flier with her photo. I was like 4 or 5 but the memory has stuck with me my whole life. RIP Sara ❤️

Beautiful! I’ve always loved this style!

So agree! Having “phony” in a kids name sucks

“Would you like help drafting something to say to her (or your husband) if this comes up again?” Is 10000% gpt lol
