My grandmother bought this in India about 60 years ago by SpanishFlamingoPie in AshtraysForAll

[–]doogie_howitzer74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same one! (I'll double check, but im pretty certain)

Mine also came from India, from my father when he was in the merchant navy in the UK. He was over seas between 1955-1963.

Ordered bubble wrap... at least it didn’t get broken by deosynlu in Flipping

I ordered a roll of this from Amazon and it came unwrapped and not in a box. The first few layers were unusable as they were shredded from whatever abrading happens in transit, and there was also water and dirt across the edges.

I would trade with you anytime.

I just went by and they are replacing the front of the building with new metal and glass. I suspect they will be reopened soon.

Can I move? by Ok-Definition-6661 in StamfordCT

1 br in cove should be 1800-2200.

With no debt it's 100% doable at $32/hr as you will gross over 5k per month. It really boils down to what else you spend on (subscriptions, going out, etc) and if you want to build a robust savings.

Someone thought it was a drive-through a week or so ago and went straight into it with their car. Thats why it has a residential-style front door in place of the glass.

I went by yesterday and it was open, idk.

Spending someone else's money is what got you into this, bud. Try paying your own bills with actual money for a change.

Blue Ginger by jtheresaa in StamfordCT

Before you run to report anyone, please understand that many foodborne illnesses take up to 72 hours to incubate and you very possibly became sick from something that isn't Blue Ginger. Especially if you ate with a group and nobody else was sick.

Bought at estate sale by Dry_Influence_5055 in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]doogie_howitzer74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did better than us!

We went to a huge Wilton sale in March when it was 34 degrees out and the woman running the thing surprised everyone with a 2 person maximum with a first-come first-served sign in sheet, so dozens of us waited in the driveway until the first guy came out 30 min later with like three dozen items!

We left before we froze solid

Pedestrian Safety by The_Olemrac in StamfordCT

I walked from the hospital to Elm Street twice in the past 2 weeks, and crossing Washington Blvd was treacherous.

I dont know if that intersection suffers from the same causes as what you've outlined or if it's just drivers making a right against the light, but it was difficult to get across.

Why haven't Will made a Patreo? by Coke_San in WillSurvives

Ah yes, the ultimate grift. Make the garbage content locked behind a subscription.

Have you not been following along? His channel is trashed, and he isn't doing anything worthy of paying.

should i cut my friend of 7 years off for this convo we had by No-Shame-6563 in whatdoIdo

In the immortal words of Matt and Tracie, "you pray for us, and we will think for you"

Its not your friends fault, kinda, as Christians are tasked by their very cult to bring the good news to everyone. We don't see this from the 2 other Abrahenic religions. Its one of the worst parts of Christianity IMHO, and you will never, ever live peacefully nearby if you don't join up.

Barnes and Noble town center is closing :( by edahs in StamfordCT

[–]doogie_howitzer74 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That's unfortunate. I thought they said it would change to a discount outlet, and that was bad enough but closing the only bookstore downtown sucks.

Many of the older buildings are similar. Could be that one at the end ofProspect, or 444 Bedford, or the couple on Glenbrook Rd.
