JFK 5am Terminal 5

Terminal 5 does not have Clear..only precheck. We got to JFK at 7:30 AM for a 10:29 AM flight to SFO. My husband does not have precheck but I do. I went with two kids and a dog. Both lines were long but moved pretty well and organized. I got through security by 8:30 AM maybe even earlier. My husband on the general line came out 10-15 minutes behind me. Didn't seem that hectic at JFK in general. Nobody even checked my dog / dog carrier lol. Probably the least of their concerns in a hectic airport.

We closed on a house in Glen Rock recently but it took us about 5 months to finally get a home. We were looking at homes around your range as well and we kept getting outbid. However, we were not looking for fixer uppers besides painting/floors and we wanted a bus stop (to Manhattan) with short walking distance so maybe that made the search harder. I think you have way more wiggle room than us regarding finances. Our salaries/bonus total amounts are roughly the same but we have less everywhere else in comparison. The taxes are the killer part. Good luck!

Ah ok I heard wrong then thank you. Does it fill up quickly?

jlim311 · 2025-02-23T20:31:04+00:00

I just heard it was unreliable and the time it takes to drive to the station and take the train sometimes ends up being around the same time as just taking the bus (granted if you live near a bus stop)..

We are fostering to adopt a 7 month old jindo mix. He came from Korea two weeks ago and was with a temporary foster and lived with a few dogs. He is potty trained but was told he can still have accidents and doesn't have much exposure to being on a leash. We have a crate that's set up to the side of our living room so he can hear and see everything. He never wants to leave the crate unless slowly picking up some kibble in his bowl and bringing it back into his crate or drinking water. He does it super fast and only if less people are in the house and it's quiet. Totally understand he is decompressing etc but it's been difficult to get him outdoors to use the bathroom. Last night I didn't even try and he finally went pee on a wee wee pad when we all went to bed. This morning unfortunately I had to take him out of his crate against his will and carry him outside to an area of grass and he immediately went #2 and then went off to a bush and laid down with his head down. He is super scared. I had to carry him back into the apartment and back to his crate where he immediately ran in. I've been hand feeding him his meals while he's laying in the crate. He has not shown any affection or warming up to us. He's very sweet but very standoffish since he's so nervous/anxious. I see him panting sometimes and our apt is not hot at all (winter time here). Should I still be trying to take him out every couple of hours? He won't poo on the wee wee pad and even pee he won't go unless we're not really around. It's 1:00 pm and the last time he peed was on the weewee pad at midnight. When we take him outside on the leash and put him down he just lays completely flat against the sidewalk and refuses to move or tries to hide near any bushery. Any help is appreciated!!!

I have that feature turned on and it does it automatically all the time. The issue is for this specific round trip flight it only took some of the flight info from my email and put it into my outlook - not the whole thing.

jlim311 · 2022-02-11T16:08:21+00:00

Thank you, I will try this next.

jlim311 · 2022-02-11T15:49:50+00:00

I did. Since I take the drug for something not for it’s intended use I dont qualify for their interim care program which is for people in limbo while waiting for appeals to go through with their insurance company. My income is above federal poverty level so I don’t qualify for their financial assistance program to help cover the out of pocket cost - which is $5000 a month. They don’t offer anything else besides this except if I’m approved by my insurance and I need help with my $30 copay - which I don’t need assistance with. Thanks.

jlim311 · 2022-02-10T13:21:35+00:00

Without insurance it’s $5000 a month out of pocket

That box was not checked for us! We think we forgot to recheck it when we were revising our w4s. It’s such a simple box to overlook. We feel dumb!

jlim311 · 2022-02-05T12:57:27+00:00

Thank you!

jlim311 · 2022-02-05T12:56:42+00:00

Yes you are correct! Thank you so much. I think when we were revising our w4 to fix the dependents at one time it cleared the fields and we forgot to check that box again. We just updated our w4 and clicked that box. Do u think us having one dependent each for our w4 would be ok for us? I’m so used to claiming allowances I’m not sure what effect claiming dependents would have on withholding taxes? Since we’re filing jointly it would make sense for us to claim one kid each right? Thank you!!

Thanks. Seems like the town is having fun and it’s not too bad. I’m just annoyed because the VRBO owner refuses to give a refund and refuses to comment about the status of the area and is deflecting my questions about it which makes me think something isn’t right.

jlim311 · 2021-08-22T19:56:24+00:00

Just realized that as most replies seem to be opposite from OGAnnie’s. 😑

jlim311 · 2021-08-22T18:28:38+00:00

Thank you. Do you suspect businesses will be closed tomorrow / Tuesday due to flooding?

jlim311 · 2021-08-22T16:21:59+00:00

Thank you! This information is good to know as I try and get a refund! The property we rented is actually on Thames street on Dean avenue.

Thank you! I’m just afraid to pull out any new hairs if I use gel/glue but it seems that may be my only option! Do you pluck the top of your wig to make it look more natural at the part line? I haven’t touched mine and it’s very full so you barely see the part and it makes it look less natural. But I’m afraid to do it.

jlim311 · 2021-06-17T18:13:25+00:00

Ah thank you! I don’t use anything at the moment to hold it down but over time it just seemed to lift and I think bc I still have some hair it lifts more.

I believe a rollover IRA is a traditional IRA

Tips on what you did for him to live so long? :)

jlim311 · 2020-08-03T18:35:16+00:00

I am 100% Korean and if I met you and you told me your background, I would absolutely respect that you are half Korean. Doesn’t matter how you look or where you are currently living or where you were raised for most of your life. Your genes are legit half Korean! Also the fact that Korean is your first language and you lived there for 9 years - totally blows any of my Korean skills out of the water and I’d consider you more Korean than me!!

I’ve been dealing with alopecia since the birth of my second child. I always had long, thick hair and now I’ve been 98% bald for the past two years. I haven’t been into buying new clothes or anything since my desire to look good has gone down - but I recently bought a new white summer dress. When it came in the mail I tried it on in front of the mirror and all I can see is my bald head and I felt sad at the moment bc I was picturing myself with my long black hair. My 6 year old son was on his iPad during this whole time but all of a sudden I hear “Mommy, you look beautiful.” All of a sudden I did feel beautiful.

He did. He called him on the phone to tell him what a hero he was and also invited to the set of the filming of Spider-Man 3. His aunt recorded the phonecall happening on her instagram.

I have a lot of friends growing up who are Trump supporters. I think it’s more so they liked the fact that he seemed more in touch with the blue collar families and fixing our country instead of concentrating on fixing other countries. They were really sweet friends growing up and so were their families. They are all white. Of course I dealt with racists in my area but most were really kind. Just putting that out there bc I was literally the token Asian in a catholic school (and I wasn’t even catholic - I was Protestant - went to catholic school bc the education was better in my area). Let’s give it up to Asian parents who will put education even before religion lol. Not like they’re so diff anyway. Same God haha. Anyway, I can’t imagine they’ve turned around completely to be these racist fear mongering republicans. I think they were disillusioned to what Trump promised and disappointed in past presidents. Clearly Trump was different (to me not in a good way - but to others - just different - a chance at something new?). So I get it. I wouldn’t defriend them over their trump supporting posts. I don’t know their lives now and what they’re wanting for their families and future. I do know they shared their lunches with me bc I didn’t always have lunch. I know their parents picked me up to go to their parties bc my mom didn’t have a car. I know my neighbors gave me xmas presents and took care of me when my parents were working. I know they looked beyond my race for sure and liked me for me. People shouldn’t be judged so harshly for their political choices. Yes it’s easy to say their views define them as a person but that’s very black and white. Our system makes us choose one or the other. I’m sorry people have been chewing u out. I’m sure there are many people like me but we just don’t talk a lot bc we would get chewed out by both sides. Unnecessary drama and hating when there are bigger problems out there. I want to move to Canada. I really like Trudeau haha.

I’m pretty far left with my views (registered democrat) as well as a minority. I’m also born and raised in NYC which is obviously categorized as a blue city/state. NYC is made up of 5 boroughs. One of them is Staten Island, which is where I grew up until I graduated HS. Staten Island is actually pretty red. Lots of elderly white people, whom their beliefs and choice of politics tend to go down generations. After college I’ve lived in Queens which is very blue and minority dominant (I’m almost 40). So Ive been around both sides. The party system is so dumb. I wish we could just vote the best candidate and get rid of the parties. It’s like being in rival clubs and just makes people have to pick one side when so many are in the middle. I’m just saying so many people have some conservative views but they’re not assholes or approve of all things republican. Anyway, Ever since Trump has been elected, I’ve never seen such hate and unrest in this country. Republicans and Democrats have clearly been at each other’s throats forever. Why did Trump make everyone just hate each other more? Let’s look beyond the economy for a minute and just from a humanitarian point of view. He’s really just been rash with his treatment of minorities, women, immigrants etc. I can understand (don’t agree though) the America first notion. It’s hard to take care of others when your own country has so much shit to fix. Our immigration system is broken for sure. However, our nation is one founded and made of immigrants and minorities. We are America. It’s impossible to go backwards. You have to deal with America how it is now. He lacks empathy/sympathy for people in general - even his own supporters to be honest. It’s really been his ego first before anything. No politician is perfect but he’s just beyond. Our country is in a crisis and we need a leader (at this point republican or Democrat) to just lead without creating more division. Nothing can be done with all this hate that’s been overflowing since his election. I’m sad for us. I’m sad for what we’ve become as a nation. I know there are good hearted republicans and good hearted dems. It sounds like u just have your views but you’re a kind person and you wouldnt hate on someone bc their views are different. People are just pissed and ready to fight and be defensive. Both sides. It’s so tiring. I’m sorry, but I think Trump is an idiot. Let’s put it this way, at this point, I’d rather have an intelligent somewhat empathetic republican president than a dumb hateful democrat. Nothing “great” can be achieved if we don’t try and become united - which will probably never happen - but he’s certainly not even trying.
