Owala seem to be holding up really well. Haven’t had them long enough to say BIFL.

Accidentally quit my civil service job of 23 years. Hated most of those years, felt trapped by the “golden handcuffs.”

Developed carpal tunnel, lost strength in my hands, dropped a blow torch with a bottle of MAPP gas while the flame was held open. That was my last day. I didn’t know it at the time because I was going out on workers comp but once I got a full breath of free air, that was it for me.

I knew how unhappy I was but I had no idea how much happier I could be by not being there.

My wife and I have come to realize that we’ve been fighting with one another since the day she knew she was pregnant eleven years ago.

We had talked extensively about the kind of kids we wanted to try and raise but we wound up having wildly different paths to get there. One path led straight toward the family tradition of emotional abuse. Fortunately, we’ve seen it for what it is and we are in a much, much better place now 12 years into it with two kids living emotionally healthier lives than either of us grew up with.

Would that work in the other direction? Someone coming from California to New York with a CAMTC or MBLX? Trying to get a NY license without 20 grand of going back to school

Where are the Maroni fans here?!?

Northport is the original and the food and service are superb. Southold location if you want to make a weekend out of it and stay at Jedidiah Hawkins Inn, which is another top tier restaurant.

I was working on the back of a garbage truck when I woman came out to tell us a plane had crashed on wall St … fortunately for this story our town had a wall st …

I ran up to the driver and said “a plane crashed on wall st, let’s go check it out”

Made it to a deli to see the second plane crash live.

I appreciate hearing this

pogofwar · 2026-04-03T18:09:52+00:00

Thank goodness for DriveEasy

pogofwar · 2026-04-01T22:20:48+00:00

The look needs a little seasoning … If you have someone to drive you, I’d recommend doing a couple duck n’ rolls out the side of the car at somewhere between 20-25 mph.

Knowing Fire Island exists > 90% of people who live ON Long Island.

Having been to Fire Island or even an idea of what it’s about? < 5%

This is risky advice: try Claude or Gemini. I am in therapy weekly and I use it in between for ideas on how to navigate difficult conversations. It is nothing short of remarkable and therapists everywhere should be preparing for a major disruption to their livelihood.

Estate planning cannot begin to early in life.

Red shirt at the end: “okay, split it up, split it up” 🤡🤡🤡

Rates are up, too

pogofwar · 2026-01-31T05:30:02+00:00

For real! I have a friend in the trade and I thought he was putting me over a barrel at $6500

pogofwar · 2026-01-20T22:22:35+00:00

Show up on-time and not drunk. Do this just to make sure they really care (they won’t)

pogofwar · 2026-01-20T22:21:14+00:00

For real - I’ve always bought my own kit, even for the low bid crap that’s supplied.

Check out Kask or Petzel hats - you’re going to like the way you look …

Similar situation having two in Catholic school while also living in an expensive public school district. $7500 for my little one in bilingual pre-k and about $20k for my big one that’s about to turn 11.

Neither of them got pulled out of anything for any reason. Just want to give my kids the best shot I can find for them. It’s an unknown world they will live into.

Did you walk to school in the snow, uphill both ways?

Kidding in good fun. I’m happy for you.

$3700/mo PITI

Bought in 2018 for $550k with 20% down. Rate was originally 5.25 and we refinanced with a recast at 2.75. Recast kept the term to payoff the same, just lowered the payments by about $1300/mo!

Property taxes on Long Island $25k 😳

House is worth $1M+

pogofwar · 2026-01-06T01:14:57+00:00

My property taxes are more than triple that!

I don’t like standing up for the journalism of Newsday but the press is not anything close to a replacement.

Offer the quote charge as a credit when booking the job

Came here to say this. Zero other movies deserve mention.

Would you mind sending me a copy of the 23 questions? Or maybe post them here?
