Left my rain jacket in a Citibike basket on Monday. Woke up this morning (Friday) jumpscare realizing what I did. Very sad to have lost that new jacket. Not expecting anything, I checked the dock this morning. MTFR the jacket was there! Neighbors moved it from basket to basket x5 days! #Flatbush

Both my phone (android) and my partner's phone (apple) ask for confirmation that we are not driving before allowing use of the phone in the car. Why isn't yours?

Scientists warn that ships stranded for months in the Strait of Hormuz have accumulated unusually large amounts of marine life on their hulls. When they return to service, they could transport invasive species to ports around the world. www.whoi.edu/press-room/n... @whoi.edu @unep.org

Lol. I had an IG account for million years but never used it until I started following food pop-ups in ATL and NOLA. That's my entire account now.

There a guy in Atlanta that has a pop-up that serves BEC in a scallion pancake. He also does his riff on a chopped cheese in a scallion pancake.

No this is not a one off. Fort Green, Brooklyn c. 2002 Friends of ours lived in a 3 fam brownstone, landlord on the parlor floor. They saved enough to upgrade the Focus to a Jetta. I told them, don't let your LL see it. Kept it secret for 5 months, then the LL saw them in it and raised the rent.

Bensonhurst, Brooklyn c. 1981. My father saved for yrs to buy a used car so he could drive home after his 4-11p shift near the trade center. Unforeseen consequence: About a month after getting the car the landlord raised rent bc I guess he figured if we could afford a car, we can pay more rent.

But my question is how much more is it going to cost to erect a shed with a paint job or an altogether anodized product. We are absolutely drowning in costs related to DoB local laws but no one is thinking about the impact on small coop and condo buildings.

People, sidewalk sheds and scaffolding are two different things. The shed is erected from ground level and that is what is getting the makeover. Scaffolding sits on top of the shed and is built up along the building and covered in netting.

This statement is such a long long way from the Warren that I had gained much admiration for after the 2004 pre-senate interview with Bill Moyers. You were smart, innovative and uncorrupted then. Delete this post. You don't need to chime in on the death of a ghoul.

I am very serious about my advanced directives. If I had a medical alert bracelet with a QR code that linked to a digital archive of my directives, would the critical care team accept that as guidance from me on how to proceed?

One day my friend's dog suddenly cornered her in the bathroom and kept her there for hours. He was a very sweet trustworthy golden mix who hiked 4 miles with us everyday. Shortly after that he attacked her unprovoked. She brought him to the vet and was dx with rage syndrome.

Well, if we're swapping tuna salad recipes: In a food processor I blitz red onion & celery w/ a little red wine vin. Set aside in a mixing bowl. Pulse Italian tuna packed in oil w/ fish sauce, oregano, cumin, onion powder, celery seeds. Add Hellmanns, pulse, finish mixing in the bowl w/ reserved veg

On Bermuda the local catch is fried and served on raisin bread with cole slaw and hot sauce. One of the most delicious sandwiches. I've tried to make it at home but store bought cin/raisin bread is too sweet, then I took a chance on a Japanese raisin milk bread from industry city and, perfection. 🤌

I do not understand how parents cannot extrapolate the symptoms, hospitalization, medical interventions and the mental and financial toll that come w/ infection when making the decision to not vaccinate. Vs a vaccine proven reliable & safe for the general population w/ minimal adverse reactions.

From my experience it doesn't matter much if FIFA allows a sealed bottle in, the final call is the stadium's and security's discretion. And if they do allow you in they take the cap because it's a slipping hazard. Now you're walking around with an open bottle.

At that time I was eligible to be vaccinated in my state (HCW) but my spouse was not. Then he got a project in NC where film crews were considered essential and were eligible for the vaccine. I was so so relieved.

My dad did that. He would also make butter, mustard and Swiss cheese sandwiches. He was raised by a German mother and I think this is how she fed 6 kids on a budget.
