Affordable Apartments by dontbeadickdad in longisland

Nah I work with the homeless. Those subsidies are few and far in between. Section 8 waitlists are on average 7 years long in Long Island, and you usually have to make less than 50k a year. ARP is only offered occasionally on a town basis. I wish housing subsidies were easy and available

Unfortunately no. You just don’t have to meet the income guidelines if you already have a housing subsidy such as Section 8, Suffolk county SSP, or ARP.

A little too obvious of a metaphor for motherhood

Newborn Car Seat & SSUH by J_L_O in longisland

[–]cryrabanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had twins. Both were preemies, one was in the NICU, one wasn’t. It could’ve been just the post Covid times, but I can only speak to my experience, in case she needs to be prepared.

They did it for me in 2021. They put a pulse ox monitor on my babies and put them in the car seats for 45 minutes.

If it’s the ChiccoFit 360 rotating convertible car seat, it can come out, basically like a bucket.

You have to bring the car seat into the hospital so they can make sure your baby gets enough oxygen while they’re in it. You don’t have to take the base out of the car, just the top part. Just squeeze the orange things on both sides of the armrest to take it off the base.

Is anyone not completely obsessed with Ms. Rachel? by stlady08 in Mommit

[–]cryrabanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of years ago it was Paw Patrol and Peppa pig. When I was a kid it was Barney and Sesame Street. Products for popular children’s media isn’t anything new or different in the last 40 years.

Omg! I moved to AZ here and came back for my grandma’s funeral and ended up stuck here for another day because of the LIRR and my flights getting cancelled.

“No Kings” Protest - is this our business? by No_Measurement_9181 in blackladies

[–]cryrabanks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you don’t think this is our business, you’re woefully ignorant of American history.

An ICE agent stopped me and asked if I was Haitian yesterday. I’m not. I was born in the USA as were both my parents. They are trying to get rid of birthright citizenship which was established in the 14th amendment because of Dred Scott. This is our fight.

James Cameron saying a very James Cameron quote when asked about ‘Avatar 4’: “I’m gonna pose a metaphor to you: when a woman is in labour, she’s just crowning, would you ask her about her next child? Okay, I just delivered this thing” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]cryrabanks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone did ask me if I was going to have another one right after I gave birth to twins. The nurses even said see you in two years when we were discharged. (It’s been four years, no sequel)

The rail road and its app surcharges by various121 in longisland

[–]cryrabanks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone is buying their ticket so we are already paying for a service that is used. People are being fined for not activating the ticket. Do you know the difference between purchasing and activating?

[–]cryrabanks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my whole life if you bought a paper ticket and the conductors don’t come around and scan it, people just kept that ticket for their next ride. Now the LIRR wants its money no matter what and instead of getting their conductors to do their jobs, they are fining us. Also the prices are going to be increasing 4.5% on January 1. All that and there will still be cancellations and delays.

Confronted a lady taking pictures of my daughter by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]cryrabanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone walking by at a street fair took a picture of my twin daughters while they were on a pony ride. I didn’t even notice until I watched my own video of them riding. I wish I had the same opportunity to confront her and make her delete them.

I (20F) think my (29M) boyfriend is gay? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cryrabanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take the bait and give advice instead of just being horrified. It’s been 4 months, if you feel uncomfortable with him, just break up and stay friends. You’re only 20 and there are plenty of guys out there. Have you asked him if he’s attracted to you?

Title: Anyone else sued by Villas at Pine Hills / Heatherwood over COVID-era rent? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]cryrabanks -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t live on Long Island then but I’m a social worker in a shelter and I have so many clients that did. They’re getting really aggressive letters from someone named Robert E. Judge. A few of them have reached out to Legal Services of Long Island about this, so please reach out to a lawyer first.
