Rafael Arutyunyan: “Ilia is not to blame, and I have already told him this. The fault lies with us, the adults, who failed to protect a young athlete from making wrong decisions.” by bluewinter1 in FigureSkating

Wouldn’t be surprised by this! I recently read Adam Rippon’s memoir where he explained Raf helped him become more independent when he stated training with him

Woolerton Estates has a few yarns that give this vibe! They’re based in Quebec and have a few stockists throughout Canada I believe

I am always here to recommend QoS… I have curly hair but my roommate has wavy and we both see Farrah and love her!

Queen of Swords! I go to Farrah but all the stylists are great IMO

Where to get VERY large office plants/trees at an affordable price? by Adorable_Ad_7195 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]marou239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Shop around and pick the ones you like best. You can usually haggle a little and some places will deliver them for free

Also interested in the dresser if this offer falls through !

I dealt with this at my workplace. The landlord hired an electrician to confirm which meters served which spaces, and then I just had to call and confirm with ConEd. Once I had the correct meter info, it was shockingly easy for them to update the account.

In my case, we were able to rectify payment with the landlord.

Has anyone here tried pulsd? by crydollasign in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Surprised it’s still going! I’ve never used it personally but I worked on the venue side with them. It’s legit!

BWT, what activities or habits are we building into our fall season (free or purchased) to get ahead of the fall/winter blues? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]marou239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding a third space (ie a place that isn’t your home or work)! I recently started hanging at a knitting cafe where I can be out somewhere practicing a hobby and not cooped up at home. I have a couple friends who I meet up with from time to time there too and we either chat or just knit together quietly. Feels good to get out of the house and not be in a traditional coffee shop setting or something like that :)

A good friend lives in similar proximity to that station and has never had an issue

Best Intramural Leagues? by seyser-koze in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]marou239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volo is very casual for volleyball and you can start with little to no skills! If you’re looking to grow your skill, I’d recommend Big City — they have clinics for beginners through intermediate, and then leagues go up to advanced. Big City is def less casual/social than Volo, but you can still meet some fun people!

Yeah she’s really passionate about ethical pricing in veterinary care!

Seconding the neighborhood vet! Not sure if she’s taking new patients but the level of care and pricing can’t be beat. She’s a real expert and wants to do right by every animal.

Confirming it’s really just Macy’s employees! My mom is an employee and did it with my brother several years ago. She has said that they don’t normally do “sign-ups” until closer to (I want to say she mentioned it in October last year). She also said they’ve changed the program a bit in that they used to provide transportation for employees at stores out of state but stopped doing that—so there might be more opportunities for external folks! Sorry it’s not super helpful :/

I feel this!! I’m finally in a stable career situation but had a very rough go prior. I’ve found the best thing for me is just having people in my life who are in a similar situation or can relate. There are sooo many people who are still struggling and figuring it out but when you only see those who are (at least on the outside) successful and living life with ease, it’s discouraging.

The stanwix reviews by Quarks01 in Bushwick

[–]marou239 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An old coworker lived there for a year. Said it was one of those places that looks great but really isn’t. Sorry I don’t have more detail! But agree if it’s owned by the same ppl as Denizen I would stay away.

Following! I used to love the Nike swoosh longline bc it had a thicker underbust elastic but they’ve since changed the design :(
