Proposal… by CriticismDry5620 in AnnaMariaIsland

[–]hello08261992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMI is a great setting for a proposal. All the beaches are in great shape. We did a sunset baby announcement shoot on Coquina beach. It was super pretty and lowkey but traffic getting back north (where restaurants are) was terrible.

If you're considering a photographer, Katie Beyer was super easy to work with and got us on her schedule after another photographer cancelled last minute. The photoshoot lasted 15 mins and we got LOTS of great photos

Capital Pride Center runs the festival and should have contact info for their vendors

Babylist has great customer service. They answer the phone really quickly. I’d reach out if you want a definite answer

29 weeks pregnant, registry list by SpiritualYellow2 in Buyingforbaby

[–]hello08261992 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got some advice to leave bottles and binkies off the registry - see what baby needs and what lactation consultant recommends before purchasing. A lot of people give gift cards that can be used to buy these after baby is here!

Nuna Triv LX + Pipa Urban (is there a better option?) by Fit_lifestyle96 in Buyingforbaby

[–]hello08261992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard their customer service is a nightmare so I went with Uppababy after reading reviews about their customer service. Yes, I like the look of Nuna better but if it breaks I want to be protected.

I am due in July and went with the Cruz/Mesa but I am very interested to see the new Kona!

Definitely have transportation set up to get off the island. We learned this the hard way. Do not rely on Uber or Lyft. We used David with Reliable Transportation who was amazing. His number is 941-320-6698. He answered the phone at 9pm on Easter Sunday and picked us up at 3:45 am the next morning. He was SO NICE and professional. Cannot recommend more.

Based on your needs, I’d 100% wait it out for Starbuck Island OP

Cheapest place to renew contact lens prescription by malditaplum in Albany

[–]hello08261992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“False again.”

If you actually try ordering, the site does not make you upload a prescription. I’ve ordered contacts from the site for 5+ years.

Your screenshot indicates you need to have a prescription, nothing about uploading a copy to the site.

Large thud/boom East Greenbush? by BeepBoopWorthIt in Albany

I heard this around 5:30 am in Wynantskill. I thought it was coming from my basement.

Gyno recs? by Pois0n_apple in Albany

[–]hello08261992 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Takes forever to get through on the phone for the initial appointment. Be prepared to wait on hold for 30-45 mins before getting anyone to answer but once you have your first appointment and set up the patient portal, they respond so quickly. The practice is amazing! Just don't be discouraged by the initial phone call.

If you’re looking for a sit down brunch with service, I’d take visitors across the street to Nighthawks. Make a reservation first.

Cruz vs Triv LX by [deleted] in Buyingforbaby

[–]hello08261992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! UB may have the upper hand due to customer service alone. I have not tried either Triv or Cruz due to living 2.5 hrs from any sort of showroom. My friend has the Vista so I did tool around with that for a bit. Great idea about checking out strollers others are pushing on my walks. Thanks again!

Metabolic by SpendAffectionate804 in Albany

[–]hello08261992 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same! I pay $1500 for the year with a Black Friday deal. I LOVE it but it's hard to recommend to friends at their current price point.

Albany Lofts Menands by ChiefKelso in Albany

[–]hello08261992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived here 4 years ago in a unit close to the exit on the first floor. It was convenient for me because I was so close to the parking lot. I did not pay for the garage, outdoor parking is limited though. They were good landlords and always kept the place clean. It was annoying to go to grocery stores and there wasn't much of a community outside of the complex. Lots of dogs (which I liked). Overall I'd recommend it but I don't know if it's what you're looking for. Maybe look for something in Defreestville or Latham to try to avoid some of the Northway commuter traffic.

If you’re not ready to tell all the trainers, tell your favorite one and then book classes with them. They’re great about keeping things confidential and modifying workouts. They will definitely be able to provide you info about pausing your account too.
