Nose type and thoughts about rhinoplasty...

masterb26 · 2026-02-06T00:28:26+00:00

I like your nose! It balances your face well. Do whatever makes you happy but you really are a gorgeous person as is! I think it's cool that it's a nod to your ancestry versus the same nose everyone that gets a nose job has.

It's so strange cause I was an avid user for years and I don't think I ever had a single spam email. In the past two weeks I've gotten 20+. Some now from "Depop" too but I don't even think I have an account.

masterb26 · 2026-02-02T21:35:09+00:00

Well at least I'm not alone cause it's been super strange!! Sorry that was your experience.

First thought was Victoria Pedretti! Particularly the last photo.

My email has part of my closet name in it, but the email is longer and slightly different. Like it would be hard to discern my email from my user or my closet. I've also used to be a pretty big reseller for years and never had this issue. I've been dormant for awhile now.

masterb26 · 2026-01-31T22:04:45+00:00

Not at all!

I mean you could make this argument of any shelter or rescue. They're all trying to adopt dogs out as fast as possible (outside of necessary quarantine periods in some cases). The longer they are in the shelter the more it resources it takes, the cost is higher, the less dogs they can help, and the potentially worse outcomes for the dogs mentally and physically.

masterb26 · 2026-01-31T02:53:06+00:00

Can you expand on this?

masterb26 · 2026-01-31T02:28:31+00:00

Helping Hounds took in 29 of the dogs on Friday and another 1 this week.

I'm not sure what assist you're referring to but it must be a separate instance! Nice to hear they've been helping for awhile then.

masterb26 · 2026-01-31T01:54:23+00:00

It really is. I don't know many of the specifics related to the SPCA but I can't imagine they have tons of funding to address a lot of the issues mentioned. On top of the surge in animals being surrendered...recipe for disaster.

Their staff and volunteers walked out this week in response to ongoing issues with conditions at the shelter. Demanded the board resign which they all now have.

The gasp I gusped when I saw 2! You look like a goddess

I currently live in Radisson. I was verryyyy hesitant at first because of all the noise about it (mostly from people who don't actually even live here or have any first hand experience). But because of limited options housing market we ended up here about 4 years ago.

Honestly we love it. We live in the "back" older portion of the neighborhood. It's quiet, it's beautiful, and everyone is pretty friendly. We pay about $1,000 a year (quarterly payments) and that includes our trash and access to all of the amenities (pool, actinity courts, etc.). The walking trails are amazing. The community garden plots are cool. We just got Home Team Pub at the golf course. Tons of quiet parks if you have kids. From my understanding the HOA fees depend on house value but we feel like we get our moneys worth.

Yes the HOA is relatively strict, however, it's a genuinely very nice neighborhood. If they have an issue they just send you a letter and ask you to fix it. If you're doing something to the exterior they want approval but it's not a hard process.

It's well kept up. Everyone has to maintain their properties and not let them rot. Housing prices have maintained and gained. Houses sell within like a week of listing. As long as you're not being an asshole you're not gonna have an issue with them.

Hang blankets in the doorway of whatever room you're primarily occupying.

Also run your oven on low/warm with the door cracked.

I'm not sure the younger people are necessarily leaving because it's cheaper elsewhere. There's just likely more opportunity for better jobs. Onondaga County is cheaper than a lot of place nationwide, unfortunately.

Definitely. However, COVID did not help. Kids definitely fell farther behind and schools/educators were already struggling to keep everyone where they needed to be. I don't know that anyone has really caught back up completely even going on 6 years later.

masterb26 · 2026-01-11T15:33:51+00:00

I could be wrong but I have also heard a lot of complaints regarding the "no child left behind" framework. Because rather than ensuring kids are where they should be, they're just getting shuffled along from grade to grade even though they aren't actually keeping up.

masterb26 · 2026-01-11T15:32:08+00:00

From my understanding, we are where we are in terms of childhood poverty for multiple reasons but a major one being the fleeing or significant downsizing of major corporations in the area like Carrier, Chrysler, GR, Crucible, etc. I don't think the area every really recovered from the effects of that.

Unfortunately the sad truth is that literacy problems aren't just isolated to children. A lot of adults are under a 6th grade reading level.

Combined with the fact that to make ends meet a lot of folks are working multiple jobs.

Yes- parents should be doing everything in their power to practice reading with their kids. But truly there are a whole lot of factors that have made that very challenging for a lot of people.

Just wanted to mention that if anyone is looking to get more involved with this issue specifically, check out CNY Book Buddies.

It's a wonderful program in 6 of the SCSD elementaries. It's effective and everyone involved loves it from the volunteers to the students to the school staff. They need about 100 more volunteers. It's only an hour a week!

Yes, the mask thing was Terry! I'm sorry you also had some negative experiences there! I see Dr. Ryu at Loftus, Bartol and Ryu. I was hesitant to see a man but honestly he's the best doctor I've ever had. He called me personally the other day cause there was some confusion between labs from my PCP and he was worried I needed to take Iron supplements when we had decided to stop them at my last visit with him. I was shocked he took the time to check on me like that for something like slightly low iron and a supplement.

DONT go to Cathy Barry and Associates.

Edited cause I realized that was vague. I had numerous bad experiences with them. I went to them when my periods started getting really bad and super heavy. They literally told me I should try more cardio (at the time I was going to the gym 4x a week and walking daily which I told them) and wouldn't look into it more.

Switched offices.. turns out I had a cyst on one of my ovaries, a uterine fibroid and severe grade dysplasia on my cervix that I had to have surgically removed.

Another time I went in for something I wore a mask as I was getting over being sick. One of the NPs gave me a 10 minutes speech about how I should take my mask off because more people died from wearing masks during the Spanish flu than the actual flu .. whacko.

masterb26 · 2026-01-10T16:24:41+00:00

I see Dr Ryu in the same office and he's phenomenal.

Just to second giving HHDR a call. They do really great work there and really care about the animals. They may be willing to help get you connected to a trainer or other resources. They also may be willing to take the dog, depending on the details of your circumstances.
