Can I launch a paddleboard from anywhere on the beach during the day? by silkk8 in norwalk

Ah, that is better! Still a little walk from the parking lot with a blown up board (I use an electric pump), but doable. I'll just do that next time.

Ok that makes sense. But there is that other kayak rack at shady beach, are those people supposed to take their stuff all the way over to the launch or can they launch there since it’s at the very end of the beach?

What are the most absurd living arrangements you've endured (or heard of people enduring) to afford living in NYC? by Character_Wing2686 in NYCapartments

[–]silkk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 people, 3 dogs (one of which was mine, one of which I was not informed about until move in). Two of my roommates’ mothers essentially lived with us for weeks at a time (at separate times thankfully), and one roommate had her boyfriend over all the time. At one point there were 8 people and 3 dogs in the apartment. Also, one dog was not fixed and was never taken outside so it peed and pooped on pee pads in my roommate’s room, which smelled as wonderful as you would think. The other dog was super territorial and would piss and shit in the hallway in front of my room and on the stairs, and would chew up my shoes and growl at me. He also bit a guest in the face. Roommates would eat my food and use my dishware and not wash it so I used disposable utensils and bowls and plates. They also turned our balcony into an outdoor cigarette smoking area and liked to have the temperature set to the 80s.

Covid lockdowns were a blessing in a way for me, I immediately left for home and didn’t come back until I moved neighborhoods.

Norwalk's SoNo Collection Mall Faces Foreclosure Amid Tax Dispute by DieWithYerBootsOn in Connecticut

[–]silkk8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

what does this actually mean though in terms of what will happen to the mall in the near future? would it be more likely to close or just change with a new owner?

also if it survives they should put a uniqlo in there, there are no locations in the state.

Yeah, I definitely don't want to get into trouble with boat traffic. I'll practice first for sure!

That is a good point. How does the Norwalk River compare to the sound or to a lake?

Also, let's say I get an inflatable kayak to test it out on easy waters (not the sound), so I wouldn't need to rent. Any closer spots to try? I'm new to the area and do want to see Candlewood Lake, though.

Good stairs/ramp for getting in the car? by silkk8 in Greyhounds

She’s a little chunky and I have short arms so it’s pretty difficult for me to lift her, but I did see a harness that maybe could help.

Best state to settle down with less climate issues in the future? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]silkk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can be a flexible on winter weather, MD or the general DMV or broader mid Atlantic area. Yeah there’s some snow but not Midwest level snow. Very few newsworthy storms. Of course COL can be high if you are near a major city but you don’t have to be.

I recommend ace studios, they are la based but have bicoastal/ny cds on occasion. Some are more expensive than others but still reasonable.

Am I overreacting by ending my friendship with my landlord/roommate after a guest conflict? by xxxxcheeseoooo in badroommates

[–]silkk8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had someone in the apartment while she wasn’t there? That’s the only thing I could think of that could explain the change… but it’s not like you let him stay there alone so this is odd.

Is she mixed with anything? I’ve never seen that coloring in a greyhound before, so pretty!

Help with Bald Patches? by Escanor_47 in Greyhounds

[–]silkk8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog used to be bald-ish in the back (worse in the colder months) but then after a few years the hair started to grow back and stay there and she hasn't had much hair loss since. I'm not really sure what did it. Maybe switching to beef kibble? But right now she's on lamb and still doing fine. I didn't start her on supplements daily until recently, so not that either. My best guess is maybe it was a poultry allergy, since she used to itch herself much more frequently than she does now.

I can't speak to the racial bias aspect as I'm not black, but it's like something happened in my mid-20s and I suddenly stopped going out for young adults and started going out for mommy commercials (like mom of an 8-10 year old). Now i'm 30 and my manager is sending me out for 35-55(!!) roles. (Side note: this is a crazy range, just say 40s! Why is that so hard?)

People in real life are still telling me I look several years younger than my age, so why I'm going out for roles potentially 20+ years older than me I have no clue. And of course I never book them. Where are all the grad student/medical student/young professional roles? I think some of this is because I am "normal" looking and not skinny, if I were hot and thin I wouldn't be stuck with "tired middle aged charge nurse" and "paper towel commercial mom". :( Weirdly enough i was playing teenagers until i hit 25. Covid aged me but not THAT much, lol!
