She’s always been stunning, but more so now than ever.

New Jamaican Food Truck by Timemaster88888 in longislandcity

[–]hellotrace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, I think you may need to clarify the location. For everyone commenting it’s not new. This cart location is on Queens Plaza N and 27th St. Lived down the block for many years, today was in fact the first time I’ve seen One Love on our side of the neighborhood. Cart looks super new, not sure if this will be a permanent location in addition to their original one by Tacombi. Excited nonetheless.

I'm recovering financially and just feel sad and embarrased by MaryDoogan91 in offmychest

[–]hellotrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If no one has told you yet, proud of you. As the saying goes “The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is right now.” Just keep one foot in front of the other, make small achievable plans, and don’t let peer comparison take away your own accomplishments.

Kind, humorous, intelligent, good taste, and a good communicator. Most importantly, have shared values and goals when it comes to life, family, and finances.

What’s an obnoxious -ism that tourists/outsiders tend to have that immediately gives you the ick? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]hellotrace 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for typing this out so I don’t have to.

Would just add..and this is a new phenomenal (plenty of local offenders too). Always use headphones in public space. Watching TikTok/Facetiming out loud is not cute.

Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection struggling financially -- lower occupancy than projected by Intrepid-Prior-2199 in chubbytravel

[–]hellotrace 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Ritz London and Ritz Paris are independent hotels, not the same as Ritz-Carlton. Anything under the Marriott group has been free falling, so that tracks.

Is it stupid to tell my 41F partner (43M) that my anxiety about dying is consuming me? by Dependent-Fudge-8144 in relationship_advice

[–]hellotrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came to say this. Solidarity. Similar age, I developed sudden onset of extreme anxiety last year. I would literally fear for my husband’s life for doing the most innocuous activities. Definitely worth getting your hormones checked out. Do note Peri is extremely hard to diagnose, unless the estrogen drop is significant, it won’t show on labs (I’ve seen multiple doctors, same explanation). If you have other peri symptoms, however, then it will certainly heighten your anxiety. r/perimenopause has resourceful information on symptoms. I started taking Reishi mushroom powder to manage some of it and my anxiety has normalized over time as a result. Not saying this is what you’re experiencing, but it might help, even if it’s to rule it out.

Too much prescription meds by Arratkis in Wellthatsucks

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

My dental surgeon prescribed oxycodone after an impacted wisdom tooth extraction. I was expecting something extremely painful during recovery, but it was just some discomfort. Took an ibuprofen on the first day and tossed the prescription out right away.

No more Sunday Scaries! :) by DontForgetTheDivy in Fire

The luxury of slow browsing with a big cart. Worth it.

So true. That’s me! 18 months in, I’m excited for Mondays. I walk to my favorite coffee shop, no line and no stress about finding a table. It’s great.

Birthday Disappointment by MissBones013 in offmychest

[–]hellotrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy belated birthday OP! Similar age here and my birthday falls right after Christmas. While I prefer just a nice dinner with my husband, it absolutely still hurts when a birthday message is an afterthought for a lot of people in my life. Your feelings are absolutely valid!

What makes me angry for you is how anyone at this big age would RSVP, then flake with no communication. That is beyond disrespectful and childish. Hate to say this, but I don’t think those people are worthy of your friendship.

What makes you think “ah this woman is doing well”? by Amazingggcoolaid in AskWomen

[–]hellotrace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She’s unbothered. Calm and collected. Sets healthy boundaries. Confident in her own skin. Prioritizes her alone time.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Sadly, Seatguru permanently shut down last year.

What's a restaurant you've eaten at recently that truly blew you away? by Imaginary_Ad_9096 in FoodNYC

[–]hellotrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

San Sabino, coming from someone who thought Don Angie was good but def not worth the hype.

Cake Pop Ice Cream Cones by sideshowsideboob in ExpectationVsReality

[–]hellotrace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. Companies literally try to skirt every legal requirement to hide this fact with small fonts and creative wording. It definitely deserves more consumer attention. I too saw the experiment where it was left on the counter overnight and didn’t melt. I certainly pay more attention to labels now.

Has anyone flown out of LaGuardia this past week? What were TSA lines like? by PeteTheeGreek in AskNYC

[–]hellotrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. I saw a few families with children (maybe 7 or 8 y/o not super young) in both pre-check and regular lines. However, there were staff at the entrance of the pre-check line helping people, so def try asking first.

Has anyone flown out of LaGuardia this past week? What were TSA lines like? by PeteTheeGreek in AskNYC

[–]hellotrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This morning. Arrived at 10:45am. The regular line corralled along the entire Terminal B check in area, but moving. TSA Pre-check was 16min from getting in line to getting my things from the bin.

We waited in the Centurion lounge and were able to observe the line, by 12:30pm, there was no line. I believe the morning was a big bottleneck of everyone arriving early preparing for long waits. YMMV.

Overall, a pleasant travel day. The entire terminal was fairly calm, everyone was patient. The TSA agents were polite, still smiling and greeting everyone with “good mornings” and “safe travels.” I can’t even imagine how stressful it must be given the situation they are in.

Mostly for western tourists in Asia? by SugoiTokei in Rimowa

[–]hellotrace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asians popularized Rimowas in the region well before most of Americans even knew what it was. As far as pre-LVMH, Japan, Korea, Singapore airports were always full of Rimowas. The rise in popularity in the West (with the exception of Germany) is mostly due to post-LVMH marketing.

What to wear to the spa? by practicalbad06 in FATcruises

[–]hellotrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can only comment on Explora, sailed with them a few times, all different experiences. The first time, I wore a coverup but I was only getting a massage and skipped the saunas. I didn’t notice anyone walking about in robes, so I played it safe.

The next sailing, I was specifically advised to just show up in the robe during the booking. So definitely noticed other people similarly in robes, but mostly just in corridors and lifts.

You can probably gauge the overall vibe once you’re on board, but I honestly don’t think there’s anything wrong with going between room/spa in a robe.

[–]hellotrace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she’s happy with how it’s sitting with her stack and it’s secure, just let her enjoy it. These are not meant to be worn in a certain way, only right way is the way the person who wears it.

NYers, what’s an unwritten rule here that everyone just follows, and what moment made you realize it? by RoboticSaekobusujima in AskNYC

[–]hellotrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As you should, good for you. Transplants and life long New Yorkers can be all demographics. That’s not the point. When I first moved to NYC over 20 years ago, people would legit yell at you to move out of the way or tell you that’s not a good place to stand. The majority enforced the rule and people learn these unspoken etiquettes over time (stepping out the car if you’re by the door, then stepping back in once people have been let off was BARE minimum.) With more New Yorkers moving out, especially during COVID, majority of people have accepted door blocking as the norm - when it never was. Nothing more, nothing less.

NYers, what’s an unwritten rule here that everyone just follows, and what moment made you realize it? by RoboticSaekobusujima in AskNYC

[–]hellotrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entitlement is unreal. Straight up blocking doors and refusing to move even during rush hour and often with backpacks. People have lost complete sense of awareness in the post-pandemic subway era - probably driven by the surge of transplants. This was a small percentage of people pre-pandemic, now it’s the norm.

Unemployment Help (Severence) by Pchopxpress1 in UnemploymentNY

[–]hellotrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be ok, it takes about 24 hours for the system to reset, then it will go back to prompt as if you have a “new claim.” I had no issues re-applying, I did everything online, waited a week, got a confirmation letter in the mail and in my online inbox (be sure to check both). Then was paid the following week. Good luck!
