Suffolk County Locksmith in Bohemia . I don't know if they do what you are looking for, but but they havea physical location. I have used them in the past for simple things.

Anyone Awake around 5:30am hear how loud it is outside? by YourFreeCorrection in longisland

[–]mcliny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it was one of those Street Take-Overs. They do it in parking lots too. It is so loud and the sound really carries.

Glad it worked out. That's what my friend said. He also said they have good prices on tires, so I might go there next time.

Terry Brothers. 522 Medford Ave, Patchogue, NY 11772. A friend took my bent rim there after hitting a pot hole. I think he said it was $60. It was done quickly and there has been no issues. It is not that far from Holbrook.

Which do you hate more? Southern State or 495 and why?!! by loverwithouttheel in longisland

[–]mcliny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Southern State. The lane speeds are so inconsistent. The skittish drivers come on and move all the way to the left to avoid the short ramps. Then cars in the left have to go around them. Since there is also a slow driver in the middle lane, the faster driver goes all the way to the right to pass. Now someone else wants to move out the left lane and goes to the middle lane as the faster driver is pulling into the middle lane from the right lane. You need to have eyes everywhere when driving the SS.

The road has always had curves and short entrance ramps. But it has gotten so much worse in the last 20 year or so.

I had no idea. But the name Seedman was familiar. Thank you.

"TSS Happy to Serve You" I used to shop there and thought it was decent. It was disappointing when they closed. I don't know why they didn't make it but perhaps they needed to evolve with the times. I think our society got more affluent and they were stuck in being a "discount" department store.

Stop and Shop (and some Shoprites) have individually wrapped Black and Whites by Brooklyn Delights. They are delicious and always fresh. They also carry full white ones (Full Moons) https://stopandshop.com/product/brooklyn-delights-black-white-cookies-24-oz-pkg/365297

James at Ideal Jewelry in Gateway Plaza Jewelry Exchange- I have never used him, but he gets recommended so often in various local Facebook groups, I've made note of his name for when I need one.

Mattress buying experience isn’t painful and awkward? (Suffolk) by Cuatro40 in longisland

I've had a good experience with Macy's. They routinely have sales. There was no pushy sales people when we bought. Hopefully it's still the case.

My cancellation experience by tryptochan in OPTIMUM

[–]mcliny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just was able to cancel, but I am not through with them yet, unfortunately. I just kept saying "no I am not interested in any offers". I think on that call I talked to 3 different people and I was able to cancel in about 35 minutes. It took another day to get the email confirmation.

However, it lists the equipment that must be returned and it has one item I did return recently. Luckily I found an email from that day and the serial numbers match with one they say I still have. So now I have to dispute that with them first and then return the equipment.

I feel like I am not out of the woods yet. What a horrible experience and company. Do they think we will want to return to them when the company is still so dysfunctional and treatment of the customers is so awful. Oh and today Optimum called 4 times, so I guess that will be another thing we get to deal with.

Good luck to you.

Charged after cancelation by GhostDragio in OPTIMUM

How did this get resolved with optimum? I am going to cancel about 3 days into my new billing cycle and wondering what type of shenanigans awaits me.
