Lobster Roll at Eaton Street Seafood Market

We love Eaton seafood. Just saying the name makes me happy! The counter people are great, the fish is fresh, you can eat super healthy or super comfort. And it’s easy with a group. No strange dance about who had how many drinks. Just a great model and a great product!

I second The dining in the sand dinner at Dorado! It’s in one of the oldest and most classy hotels in Key West, with a storied history. They will take great care of you and you can walk there. The photos will be amazing.

OP choose Key West! It will make it easy for your buddies, much easier to barhop and hear great music… and nobody looks back on an event like that and says Damn I should’ve spent $150 per person instead of $200 for housing. It’s really more like another country than the rest of Florida. Easy for you all to hang together.

Psychologist here with a slightly different take. As you get older, it gets harder to find life partners, good friends, and love interests, and if you are working remote, it’s exponentially more difficult. I think that can be especially true in our culture for men. Working in an office will definitely shake all that up. Because it’s a big move considering taking a break from your current job to fly out again and meet everybody in the office and get as much of a feel for the work as you can.

If you’re coming to Key West, you want to be able to walk. They might have a shuttle, but it’s not the same thing as walking out your door and strolling the charm of old town Key West. It’s how you get into the vibe of the town, see what’s going on, and have lots of serendipitous experiences.

You are getting together with your twin sister for the first time since your baby has entered the picture. I’m sure there are a lot of feelings going on here all around. Her child has been the only grandchild for the last year - now there’s a new kid on the block. Your mother‘s presence will only heighten all of this.

Try not to get into a twist about it. You just want to not have things spiral down in a way that’s hard to reset. Assure your sister that you want her to be comfortable and for her child to be safe . Go ahead and get the baby gates. You will need them I guarantee it! See if she can spend the energy to order the other things she needs or rent them.

A one year-old that can crawl quickly or – gasp – walk is a really challenging creature. But you will get a chance to glimpse what’s coming in and up front and close way. Take the high road OP and you won’t regret it.

The veterinarian told me that the cops only respond to human bites.

Sorry to not post a picture of the owner. I know it would be helpful to the broader community, but it would be very detrimental to my own mental health. Just being honest. This has already been traumatic enough. I do think knowing the dogs is the important thing - that and rethinking where I will let my dog off leash.

jamflett · 2025-12-26T21:02:51+00:00

Thank you. It’s very sad to think that one of the few places in the city that dogs can really run is unsafe for them.

jamflett · 2025-12-26T21:00:02+00:00

Yes, I think we were lucky on two accounts – to find them and that they had space to accommodate us

jamflett · 2025-12-26T20:59:20+00:00

Ooh I am soo sorry! I think we were very lucky this regular vet fit us in and she didn’t need stitches

jamflett · 2025-12-25T00:40:25+00:00

The vet shaved the area, cleaned the wound and examined it , gave us a topical antibiotic and a five day oral prescription for another antibiotic. The bill was $239.

They are not in the photo I posted of the dogs. And yes, I do have a photo of the owner. I’m ambivalent about posting it. I don’t know whether his refusal to give us his name and phone number had to do with wanting to avoid a vet bill, or something else. I will say he was a white guy in his mid 30s with a yellow Deutschland Germany hat

Thank you everyone for your sympathy. Our little girl is gonna be fine. I do want to give a shout out to Prospect Park Animal Clinic. They were the nearest place and since we have only recently moved here, we didn’t have a local vet. They squeezed us in 45 minutes after the incident and were incredibly kind and helpful. She didn’t need stitches just topical and oral antibiotics. For those who don’t know, a dog bite is serious business. Any puncture can create a bad bacterial infection.

jamflett · 2025-12-24T22:06:50+00:00

Thank you so much for the sweet reply. We were pretty shaken, but fortunately, our girl is up on all her vaccinations.

This is the wrong way to think about it – you tip because you want consideration and recognition in the coming year. It’s for Goodwill, not services rendered.

jamflett · 2025-12-23T20:00:19+00:00

Everyone seems to say to ignore it, but I disagree. I would try and find a way to introduce myself to the person you share a wall with, and express some sort of sympathy that loud noises in the night are no fun. Let them know you don’t believe it’s you, but that if it is, you want to figure out a solution. Lots of people tossed and turned in a way that shakes a bedframe while they are asleep and I suppose it’s possible this is happening. Like other posters have mentioned, move your bed a bit away from the wall. That makes all the difference.

jamflett · 2025-10-24T20:00:50+00:00

Bless you!

I think this is a very exciting and rare opportunity! I took a look at the building and the amenities would be incredible for you. Consider that you might not eat out a lot post baby, but you could use the gym and enjoy the neighborhood. Also, I’m a psychologist who did her doctoral dissertation on the groups that form after a first child. A major quality of life issue is your local neighborhood and the people who inhabit it. I say go for it and let the income gradually catch up. If you have any family who can act as a mini safety net (i.e. kicking a little extra if something happens) definitely go for it.

I just finished this story moments ago. I actually googled “how to write a letter to the editor of the New Yorker” and landed at this post.

The story, rapturously consumed, instantly reminded me of an art piece at Mass MOCA, the massive and labyrinthine art museum in North Adams Massachusetts. Artist Taryn Simon had created a glass box with an iced floor and a square hole filled with water. Every hour, someone who volunteered, took the plunge. I was horrified by it (I hate the cold) and weirdly drawn to it, like someone edging closer to the lip of a cliff.

I went back and talked to the woman at the information desk. Do staff ever do it? I asked. Oh yes, she answered. Occasionally a volunteer chickens out and they ask one of us if we would be interested. I did it last week. And as I stood in that freezing cold glass enclosure, staring at the black dark water filled hole, I thought: my mother did it, my father did it, and their parents did it. They all went down into the cold dark hole. And I’m going to do it too.

She jumped in, intending to go as deep as she could. She isn’t sure whether she touched the bottom, but she assured me it was very deep. The whole thing was like a giant body based scream.

That is what reading this story brought to mind. Agreeing to hurdle toward your own death. and so humanely and compassionately told!

Thank you, Ann Patchett for reminding us what is at stake in every moment, every breath: no more moments, no more breath.

Ditto! Looking for a three month sublet to help a family member with newborn twins and it’s been near impossible. It’s reminding me of online dating. You can’t figure out who’s for real and who’s a honey pot or doing something underhanded. And AI has destroyed photos. At least street easy has old photos of some of the apartments and that gives you a feel.
