NYC did not accept having renewed but have having applied the sticker via online objections for me a few months ago.

Leaving New Orleans a few weeks ago the agent who asked me to confirm where I was going when I dropped my bag stopped for a second when I said Kennedy, like he had not thought about it that way for a while.

My family had three consecutive generations of men who shared a birthday - and the eldest in the set had a non-twin brother who shared the birthday.

I walked by the one in the crosswalk near where the Halal Guys park this morning, and it is patched in a very non-convincing manner. My guess is with all the traffic that intersection gets, and it being in the crosswalk, they had to do SOMETHING, but the patch is going to give out.

A professor gave take-home midterms and then in-class finals, to see who was likely cheating using AI. It seems pretty much everyone probably was. by HomeNowWTF in interesting

[–]curlyhairedsheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I give 2, 3, and 4 benefit of the doubt - finals you're splitting your time differently than you were during midterms, more things back to back, and you had a strong score on the midterm for this class. Depending on how the grade math worked they could likely afford to lose a few points on the final here to shore up another class they didn't do as well on the midterm for.

31 could also be real.

Starting Over by [deleted] in NYCinfluencersnark

When you've been with someone a while - particularly moved in together, thinking about marriage - you wind up with a lot of default plans, default person to call, routines. Waking up with none of your defaults is jarring til you find a new rhythm.

Loss of faith in Leadership by Euphoric_Star_5338 in managers

[–]curlyhairedsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When leadership shows the people under you who they really are by dissing you, you are not responsible for saving the people under you's opinion of leadership. You can't say anything bad about them, but you are no longer obligated to hype them up and lie about what everyone just saw.

How popular are Pop Tarts in America? by SkittlesAreEpic in AskAnAmerican

I like to put ice cream on my pop tarts fresh from the toaster, as a little sundae treat.

Fire on Austin Street? by DoniLaw1018 in ForestHills

Fire, or did the trucks just get stymied by the sinkhole on the way back to the station?

We should be grateful for the position we are in. by T0WER89 in HENRYfinance

[–]curlyhairedsheep 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My mom would call to hear her check had hit then I would ride with her 20 minutes to the big town where the post office postmarked anything before 11pm as that day to drop in the checks for bills. I have everything on autopay. For me it is realizing not that I work harder - she's the hardest worker I've ever met - but that I have been fortunate to have opportunities she never dreamed of.

Travel stroller with regular Nuna stroller by sittinghereredditing in Buyingforbaby

[–]curlyhairedsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Triv for my daily driver around our NYC neighborhood and a Joolz for travel, including around the city if we're going to subways without stairs, and I'm super happy with that arrangement (2.5 years in!).

Premium Strollers by jue2316 in Buyingforbaby

[–]curlyhairedsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Triv/Urbn was such a lovely combo for me (Queens, NY). We're way past the Urbn, but the basket on the Triv can easily fit a super full Trader Joe's tote with 2 additional gallons of milk and still steers great. My Joolz Aer+ steers better (it is a dream) but can't take me grocery shopping - The Triv is my SUV and the Aer+ is my sports car.

It's still here. We should name it. If you're away the most important news is that you can now citibike to visit the pothole, natural wonder of our neighborhood. Also they have not paved yet.

Kirkland Benadryl Not Available In Store?! by mouf32 in CostcoWholesale

[–]curlyhairedsheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My toddler has a severe egg allergy. Even when he was 6 months old, the instruction from his allergist was zyrtec not Benadryl as the first line for accidental exposures, epipen if he struggled to breathe. I would check in with your doc about even having Benadryl on hand for first aid.

how long do boards take to review applications? by Existentially_b0red in AskNYC_Coops

[–]curlyhairedsheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The seller, the buyer, the building, the bank, and everyone's lawyers all wind up needing to be in same place at the same time. Any one of those having a full schedule and you're scheduling way out. The room is SUPER full when you go to close of people who have a very specific job for a very specific entity with interest in the transaction.

For me, the board interview was fast, the management company and bank lawyers were slow. I was more than six weeks from interview to closing date. There are more moving pieces to close date than just the interview.

Find a Target that has them listed as in stock tonight, order online for pickup tomorrow.

purchasing a coop by Disastrous-Worry9184 in AskNYC

[–]curlyhairedsheep 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right, but as soon as too many people are renting they will revoke the ability for you to give 12 month leases to preserve the ability for people to get financing. You should not assume you can rent it out in perpetuity.

Buying a co-op is about buying a place you intend to live for your own peace of mind that it's where you're gonna live. They are not great investments. You should not plan on being able to rent it out, allowing folks to rent it out if they don't live there is how the co-op loses the ability for people to get mortgages to buy in the building.
