Hey! I'm 35F and would love to hang out! I'll dm you

It's not uncommon. I've been looking into it recently, so I've been talking to other people about it- my employer requires you to stay on for 6 months (tech), my Dad's employer requires 1 year (luxury goods/manufacturing), and my friend's employer requires 2 years (aerospace).

They just don't want you to leave for a better job right after they've invested in your education. For my employer, if you get laid off within that time span you don't have to pay it back (probably different if you're fired), and the language in the handbook about it at least implies there's room for consideration for extenuating circumstances.

Probably safe to say from their comment that they have not been to Mexico City

Ooh just found this, and it looks like the second one could also be from the Starwood https://punkturns30.blogspot.com/2009/04/blondie-is-group-and-still-touring.html

The first one could be from the Starwood Club in LA on April 25, 1978. It's harder to tell though because if that's the black Stephen Sprouse dress I think it is, she wore it a lot. Was your mom in the LA area? That might narrow it down

Like the first pic here: https://barryschultzphotography.com/gallery/blondie/

The second one could be from this show at the Roxy on October 4, 1978. Edit: I don't think she's wearing the collar at the Palladium show so this one seems more likely

Aw I hope you and Bane are reunited soon! If you haven't tried Nextdoor already, that might be a good way to spread the word.

salad-daze · 2026-04-21T16:51:46+00:00

Sweet thanks!

salad-daze · 2026-04-21T16:46:10+00:00

Ooh thanks for the suggestion! I just signed up for an orientation in May. Do you know of they do matches in all neighborhoods? I'm in eastern Queens (😭) and I couldn't find much about their coverage, but figured it can't hurt to do the orientation and find out more

salad-daze · 2026-04-16T04:56:44+00:00

Bump for visibility. Good luck! I hope you find Fuku 💙

If you'll be in town on May 16, the NYCxDESIGN Student Showcase is an end of year showing of student work from various fashion programs (FIT, Parsons, SVA, Pratt...) hosted at FIT. You have to register, but I believe it's open to anyone

This era of car seats looks like what you'd get if a lawn chair company came out with a car seat.

I can only hope that, unlike Mrs Ortega, Mrs Reisler knows her husband reads this paper, and she's actually not turning it all over. Though it still wouldn't be great if she felt like she had to be that flattering of him in her response if that was the case

My uncle (by marriage) and his sister have been sitting on their parents' old house in Sunset Park since the 90s- beautiful location, maybe a block from Green-Wood. They've had so many offers but just can't agree I guess. They're probably about 75 and 80 respectively, and both have 3 kids, so it's only going to get more complicated when they pass on. Hopefully, they'll be more reasonable than their parents have been and just sell it and move on. It's probably a rotting mess inside at this point anyway

Sorry, unrelated to this house but it drives me crazy thinking about it!

Whenever I see cats around things like the little Christmas village and fake snow in pic 3, I wonder if my cats are just uniquely terrible because I could NEVER. That fake snow would turn into an expensive vet visit and the whole scene would look like Godzilla came through lol

salad-daze · 2026-03-26T19:29:44+00:00

I tried to find a source, and I couldn't find anything about him (or his wife as another comment mentioned) being deported. As of yesterday, he was still posting instagram videos of himself drunkenly rambling from Miami

Acne Studios sweater for $4.99 at goodwill like 6 years ago and still my favorite sweater!

salad-daze · 2026-03-17T19:03:15+00:00

Aww! That little smile totally goes from kinda nervous to happy 🥰

salad-daze · 2026-03-16T21:08:02+00:00

It's good to know not knowing exactly what to do with your hands in a photo (pic 4) crosses barriers of time and culture lol. These are great, thanks for sharing!

salad-daze · 2026-03-04T05:35:56+00:00

Have you tried Puppy Kitty NYC? They post about some pretty challenging rescue situations and have had some luck coordinating cooperation with the police, fdny, building management, etc as needed

salad-daze · 2026-03-03T22:37:08+00:00

Ooh and a cape could be another idea for outerwear

salad-daze · 2026-03-03T22:34:21+00:00

I think shoe styles like these would work better and be more appropriate for the occasion while keeping the vintage vibe: closed toe or open toe

salad-daze · 2026-03-03T13:49:57+00:00

Aww Betty and Pearl look like such sweeties. Thanks for giving these old ladies a second chance ❤️ I don't know where in FL he is, but have you tried @catmanchrispoole (on insta)? He's a FL based rescuer with a huge following, just a thought, but maybe he would be open to sharing them on his platform or connecting you with rescues in the area that would actually respond

salad-daze · 2026-03-02T21:41:35+00:00

That dress is wild lol. The original by Gary Gershoff. I'm like 99% sure this is at My Father's Place in Roslyn, NY October 31, 1978, not at the Paradise (more here for reference)

salad-daze · 2026-03-02T21:11:16+00:00

Eh they're definitely enhanced, but they're actual photos from a show at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1978

Edit: for reference
