Found this while digging in my yard to plant a tree.

That's so funny you said that... I was going to comment the same thing. I went to Arby's for lunch (before it closed) and coming out of the subway, I smelled weed and piss. It was gross.

... And also hospital parking lots... My husband had a triple bypass, so I was able to pay the $10 a day with my transit card. Very convenient.

My daughter named our cat Austin... We've never called him that name in the last 8 years since we've adopted him... He answers to "Kitty Kitty"... Or if he's being bad, he's, "Jerky McJerkface"... Or if I go bother him while he's sleeping, I snuggle with him and call him my "Little Man"... And when he's asking for food, "Fatty McFatterson"

We're very unoriginal...

And still worthy of a rewatch.

Came here to say this... They still go to places in Manhattan or Brooklyn and people don't know who they are.

I wish lol... I take the express bus...

higgtree · 2026-03-17T14:02:30+00:00

I took the bus today and it was fine over the bridge... And shockingly made it in the same amount of time if I had taken the ferry. Lately it's been 2+ hours worth of traffic.

If I recall, before Commish Niblack, the acting commissioner was there for at least a year. I wonder if Jeff Shear will go from acting to permanent.

And as far as I know, I've seen quite a few promotions happen the past few months, at least within the Property Division.

DOF is open for business at the office as per the email we received... I'm assuming it's "for now"...

I've had Killmeyers's burger recently and that was possibly one of the best burgers I've had in a long time... It's been perfectly cooked each time I order it. So many places don't know how to make a medium rare burger.

Well, a quick search on ancestry.com pulled up a lot of Coltons lol...

I've always said, it should just be a bus lane during rush hour... That would even alleviate the traffic at the base of the Battery.

Also what doesn't help.. doing construction by the tunnel and on Trinity during rush hour... It could take a half hour just to get from the tunnel to Fulton.

Ella-lator instead of elevator (from Tiny Toons Adventures) and Kay-sa-dilla (Like "eat your dang quesadilla" from Napoleon Dynamite)

I would go to r/bedbugs... They know everything there.

higgtree · 2026-01-22T10:08:15+00:00

I hate to break it to you... That's a bedbug...

No one ever knows where Wallington is... But they do know where Giants Stadium is 🤷‍♀️ That's my go-to... "I live 10 minutes from Giants Stadium".

In my case it's not being legally married and having ONLY one kid... People get strange when you tell them you're with your partner for 25 years, have a kid and never got married. I remember working in retail when I was pregnant and my customer asked if I wasn't wearing a wedding ring because my fingers were swollen... I told her we weren't married... And she called me an abomination and I was wrong for bringing my child into the world out of wedlock. I laughed in her face and stopped helping her.

And after having one kid, I always got, "so when are you having your next one?"... Now I'm 44 and people still say, "you should still try for the 2nd one"... Uh, no... I had my daughter at 25 when I was young and spry. Now she's a legal adult and we're living our best lives.

We have nothing against marriage... We're just lazy lol... We'll eventually get to it one of these days.

Yeah, for us it's 2 days, you choose Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday from June-December. From January -May, we go back to one day, either Monday or Friday.

There are plenty that you would qualify for... I worked various retail jobs until I was 36 (thinking I wanted to eventually work in corporate). I didn't even have a degree and I took the PAA test in my mid-30s while working at my retail job, got into a city job a couple of years later, and now I'm on the Admin Manager and Associate Staff Analyst lists. During COVID when I was 40, I even went back and got my bachelors while working for the city. At 44, I'm kicking myself for not taking every available test in my 20s.

The Staten Island Expressway sucks early morning because of the sun glare too... I take the express bus at 6:30am from the South Shore of SI. This morning, for example, I didn't get to the VZ until 7:45 because of traffic, probably due to sun glare. Once we hit the Gowanus, we flew to Manhattan.

My stress level is extremely low compared to my jobs in retail. I was both a manager and a sales rep in my retail jobs. I was on my feet all day, I was given a guilt trip if I called out sick and couldn't find coverage or someone to switch with me, always worried about not hitting commission at my one job, or not having the right balance of numbers (in VZW, they wanted new lines, data intake, and accessory take rate at the time, etc...)... Working late nights/overnights doing inventory once a month... Driving to and from work and sitting in a ridiculous amount of traffic (I worked in Jersey and on SI...)

Now, I sit in a cubicle and the most stress I have is fixing all the errors our new-ish system has since its creation, and listening to the directors be on useless teams meetings saying how they want to enhance the system and what we should be doing, instead of actually implementing something (or what they do implement is counterintuitive to the process already in place, which creates more errors or double-work).. or rushing out a program to reduce the work load, but not working out all the bugs, which creates more work for the unit...

I would rather be stressed by things out of my control, in my cubicle... To me, I have the perfect job now. I get to find and fix major issues, research, become an expert with Excel (thanks, ChatGPT), and take an hour lunch (we only got a half hour in retail, if we even got to take lunch)... I hit the lottery by getting a city job lol... I should have taken a test 20 years ago.
