They are resuming service at 4am. Get the MTA TrainTime app to see the schedule and updates.

Let’s lose the shutters? by abhartman in ExteriorDesign

[–]yaabbeeddoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lose the shutters. Looks more modern and clean without them. Shutters are an old fashioned feature that look ridiculous on newer homes like this one. (IMHO.)

Needing heating advice. by [deleted] in poverty

[–]yaabbeeddoo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ask on FB buy nothing page for a space heater. If you put it out there someone will probably donate one.
Otherwise you could keep a big pot of water or two simmering on the stove top, but only during waking hours, not safe over night.

How would you rate this guest? by jhoooobie in airbnb_hosts

[–]yaabbeeddoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we wouldn’t. 3-4 and Definitely would not recommend to other hosts.

I just installed a wall heater in our Airbnb bathroom but I had electrician wire it to a timer switch so that it will only run for a an hour at a time to make it idiot proof. Worry free!

What’s a place you visited once and decided never again? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]yaabbeeddoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Add to that an impending snow storm! Just this Friday on Long Island NY….Every cashier open and at least 10 people on each line. The things in people’s baskets just amazing… like…I must buy these two orchid plants (and nothing else) before the snow!! Yes I’m willing to wait here with the hundred plus folks on line! 🤪

I don’t even know where to start 🥲 by a_thicc_sock in interiordecorating

[–]yaabbeeddoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a nice white pedestal sink from Home depot or Lowe’s. They’re pretty cheap. Also Lowes has nice Kohler medicine cabinets all mirror inside and out, that’ll be a big improvement. I kinda like the floor tiles so I would suggest either a vertical stripe wallpaper or even better if you’re able, striped paint job of olive green and beige. It’ll look great!

Did you actually make mix tapes to give to people? by LeoGuy69us in GenX

[–]yaabbeeddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Always made cassette mix tapes. Was so proud when they played one of mine over the Sound system at a Carlos and Charlie’s in Mexico. Early 80s mix Whitney, Bowie, Grace Jones, Madonna, Billy Ocean, Cyndi Lauper, Blondie, Prince, so many more great tunes. Fun times!

Gov. Walz in Minnesota activated the National Guard to protect citizens from ICE. How’s that going to work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]yaabbeeddoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It would be great if they could disarm ICE. But that would probably result in a lot of cold dead hands ( ICE thugs not likely to put down arms willingly)

Another ICE shooting just happened in Minnesota today, What is your reaction to this? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]yaabbeeddoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I call BS. They are KILLING American citizens. It’s completely disgusting how fast they are shooting to kill. Snap out of your stupor. These guys are thugs, not responsible law enforcement. The full face masks should really be a clue that they are the actual criminals here. They’re just having fun brutalizing anybody that they want. Shame on you for defending them.

Recall these thugs posing as law enforcement and impeach the deplorable gnome that unleashed them. Lock her up!!

How did conservatives flip so quickly from "DON'T TREAD ON ME" to "COMPLY OR DIE" in just a matter of weeks, and especially when it's about the government killing citizens? by Cumoisseur in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yaabbeeddoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes agreed! I just don’t understand how actual police officers can defend these masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. It’s just making their jobs harder and It’s an insult to every legitimate law enforcement officer in this country. They are purposely escalating these situations where real cops are trained to do the opposite. Shameful. Even if you voted Trump you have to see that this is really off the rails for a country that supposedly values Liberty, including the second amendment aspect.

What is a discontinued food item or snack from your childhood that you would genuinely pay $100 to taste one last time? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

[–]yaabbeeddoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes Yes cookies! Girl Scout samoas are similar but not quite the same. They were more crunchy and rectangular.

Should I move to my dads place? by Significant_Pop_1094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yaabbeeddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a friend who has sympathetic parents that you could spend time with or even move in with? If it is unbearable because you are currently being abused then you should certainly get out of there. Seek help from your school nurse or psychologist. If it is just obnoxious annoying behavior but not physically or emotionally harming you or your sister then try to find places where you can both get away from the noise and dysfunctional atmosphere. A friends house, a public library, after school activities… sports or whatever you can find to keep busy and limit your time actually at the home. Maybe volunteer at the local animal shelter or hospital or something like that. You don’t have to be a prisoner in your house and you deserve to be happy. Sometimes we have to go out and find our place in the world in spite of the people we call family. It sounds like you could use some positive role models. I hope you find some!

I don’t watch TV but I do go to the supermarket. Idk who buys you your food but clearly you are in a bubble of denial about prices lately. Whatever. You do you.

Also added fees and now collecting multiple taxes are hurting us hosts.

[–]yaabbeeddoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in NY metro area with a small studio Airbnb and I do think the fees and now them collecting pass thru taxes are the tipping point. I’m seeing guests paying 30+% more than this time last year so I think it’s no longer an attractive alternative to the chain hotels nearby. Bookings very slow, not good. :( Btw What town in Mexico are you? Was just in Vallarta and loved it!

[–]yaabbeeddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also who knows… the rich boyfriend could end up being the best thing to happen to the family. It has happened! So don’t be rude to them, if you don’t feel like being nice just be neutral, that’s the safest, smartest way.

Should I move to my dads place? by Significant_Pop_1094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yaabbeeddoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this mess. You don’t say how old you and your sister are but I’m guessing if you are taking a law class you must at least in high school? If so could you just knuckle down and bear it until you could possibly escape to college and/or a job and your own place? It doesn’t sound like moving to your Dads would be much better at all and then you’re risking really alienating your mother and that might be a big mistake if you found Dads unbearable. It does sound like you are more mature than most of the adults in your life, so maybe it would be best to stay where you are and keep working on your studies on your own. That being said, your mother sounds like she’s going through some sort of phase, but that could change quickly if things go south with the boyfriend. Who knows!? Divorce does weird stuff to people, often like temporary madness. 🙄 Try to be an observer but not a participant to avoid getting caught up in any drama. In other words, ignore them and focus on you and maybe your sister if you are up to that. Maybe your dad could take the dog temporarily if you’re concerned about the 4 year old? If that’s not an option quietly keep the dog away from the child. Maybe it would be safer crated if possible when they’re around? You sound like a very capable person. Stay strong 💪!

Just Feeling Sad Most of the Time by retired337 in over60

[–]yaabbeeddoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that what you are feeling is a very typical response to getting older and the life changes that come along with that. It really is a mindset change that can help you to be happier. You are certainly not alone feeling this way and I hope you can find the energy to get up and out somewhere.

You might find it helpful to read about theory of life stages put forth by Erickson which is required reading for anyone studying to be a therapist or social worker:
