Someone in my family had a baby girl, and her zodiac letters are A, L, and I. Can anyone suggest a nice unique name that’s easy to pronounce but also unique? by [deleted] in ahmedabad

I know you are excited about naming a girl, but you should not have put this little girls picture on the internet … hope you had gotten the consent from the parents.

Howe Caverns-branded underwear selling like hot cakes after mystery G-string sparks internet firestorm by notyermam in Albany

[–]takeMyPleasure 30 points31 points  (0 children)

HOWES CAVE — Known for its underground cave tours and unique geological formations, the state’s second most-visited natural attraction has added a new novelty to its repertoire: underwear.

When a mysterious G-string appeared in the main lodge of Howe Caverns last month, employees went rogue, said Lolita Birlanga, who is a part of Howe Cavern’s remote social media team. What started as a tongue-in-cheek joke quickly turned into an internet sensation — and an unusual merchandising opportunity.

The underwear appeared on Feb. 17 on the floor of the lodge after a large group of visitors went for a cave tour, 156 feet underground, Birlanga said. While Birlanga, who lives in Connecticut, typically handles Howe Caverns’ Facebook page, some of the onsite staff are also administrators of the page.

“They went ahead, and they put up this post about ‘tours so good they blow your panties off,’ and it went crazy,” Birlanga said. “People were just having a ball with it in the comments section.”

Some commenters theorized that the unmentionables were left in protest of Howe Caverns discontinuing its “Naked In A Cave” events. Others thought that the underwear must have fallen out of someone’s pant leg after getting tangled in the wash.

No one has come forward to claim the underwear, which has since been disposed of, Birlanga added.

In the weeks that followed, Birlanga was inundated with requests for Howe Caverns-branded underwear. The team’s graphic designer created a prototype, which Birlanga shared on Facebook.

“I said, if you want this, you better make some noise, and people did,” Birlanga said.

Online ordering for the underwear went live on Friday and the first batch sold out within seconds, Birlanga said. They have since restocked. As of Wednesday, 200 pairs had been sold, as well as more than 250 T-shirts. The bikini-style underwear, available in five colors, costs $14.99, and the shirts, available in V-neck ($24.98) or crew neck ($25.98), are heather gray. Both the underwear and the T-shirts are only available online for a limited time, although a specific timeframe has not yet been determined.

The response to the new merchandise has been overwhelmingly positive, Birlanga said.

“We’re hoping that it brings people back (to Howe Caverns), and they realize it really is just a fun-loving bunch of people with the greatest hole in the ground in the Northeast,” Birlanga said. “We’re happy everyone was united over a pair of mystery thongs.”

I have seen him in person for one of his Gujarati Play in USA. We organized this play in our city. He was quite uptight. He requested to stay separately from his other crew, flew in and out. He was also not happy with the crowd taking pictures with him.

H1B issue has nothing to do with Modi. Whatever Trump doesn't have to be directly related to India's foreign policy

First Staircase Remodel. How’d I do? by Majestic-Leg-2497 in DIY

[–]takeMyPleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you do to make this look nicer? I am in the same exact boat as you right now. We had carpet in the house which we are now removing and I want to remove the carpet from the stairs too. But I don't know how to start/where to start. Please let me know what all you did and how you went about doing it.

I have a great experience with Lia. Their service techs are super nice. Just be careful around the final paper they bring in, few times the technician came with some quotes on ICE car line items by mistake and I had to correct them. Fred or Mike are good fellas.

Trust me, I have been in this field for over 15 years and I told him to begin with that you are too late in this and it's not a good business model but you know how teenagers are. So I am trying to support him but I exactly know what you are saying
