Flying out of MacArthur for the first time on Saturday and my flight leaves at 6:30 AM. What time should I be there?
Hi! I am a pre school teacher looking for the best place to get allergy friendly sugar cookies for a holiday party? Classroom is peanut/nut free and I need store bought (gross) sugar cookies/cookies that can be decorated for a cookie decorating holiday party. Thank you in advance!
Figured I would just try in here instead of the dnd reddit. I live in bayport next to patchogue. I’ve never played before but I’ve been binging dimension 20 and getting into critical role a bit and I think I’m ready to get into it I really want to. Im make 22 if that factors in.
does anyone know any good adoption agencies or rescues to volunteer with dogs or cats? Used to volunteer at ruff house, but they moved a bit farther away, looking for preferably Nassau County. helping walk the dogs, setting up adoption, events, etc.
EDIT: seems like most say to take care of it now so that’s what I did. Thanks all
I am currently looking for an apartment in a home. Is it inappropriate to ask/negotiate a lower rent price? Also, do you think if they say no pets allowed they ever budge on that? I know for a few people it’s happened I just don’t want to start this process looking like an idiot. I haven’t lived on the island for a while and I’m putting the pieces back together so I’m trying to do the best I can while not looking like a fool and embarassing myself LOL
wikipedia has a whole page for cancelled suffolk county road proposals lmfao
maaaan what we could've had. and it only covers county roads, so no real mention of:
and no mention of how Nicolls was supposed to be a full expressway.
at least those parts of 347 feel a bit better with the completed construction
Hey Long Islanders! 👋
I’m on the hunt for the most aesthetically pleasing restaurants on Long Island for the Holidays. Whether it’s the perfect spot for Instagram photos, unique interior designs, or just a cozy vibe that makes the dining experience unforgettable this month, I’d love to hear your recommendations!
Some examples of what I’m looking for:
Thanks in advance for your suggestions—I’m excited to check them out!
What are your favorites?
Hi
Looking for a residential awning company in Nassau.
Bonus if they deal with the polycarbonate transparent/clear awnings.
Thanks
I had a great vet for many years who sadly passed away recently. Hoping to find someone who has a similar old school approach (unlike the bigger animal hospitals that always do labs, imaging, etc right out of the gate).
Thanks!
Going to a show at kings theater, was wondering if I should just drive my pos car in or just take the train and subway. I live on the south shore so wouldn’t be overly difficult traffic notwithstanding.
From their IG page. They will be posting hours on their page.
This is the 5th tick I’ve pulled off the two cats I have over the past few weeks. How the hell are they even still alive???
I figured the flea/tick treatments weren’t necessary this time of year…..hopefully the latest freeze killed the rest.
Hello everyone.
If anyone has any tips on handling cave/spider/camel crickets, especially how to keep them out of rooms, I would deeply appreciate it— today is the second day in about two weeks that I’ve put my shoes on and felt something in them, and for that ‘something’ to turn out to be a cricket.
If it helps any, I’m located in a bedroom that’s directly above the garage (where most of our crickets live). If there’s any tips anyone has, please send them.
ETA: my bedroom is above ground, on the second floor. The basement is on the opposite side of my house.
Suffolk county, although I'm willing to hit Nassau.
Not trying to start arguments, and mods please remove this if this is not an allowed question, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any shops that are BIPOC and LGBT friendly and/or run.
I know we're not allowed to get political but but I don't feel comfortable going to a shop that Trump supporters go to or own. Just looking for some local shop recommendations.
Curious if it’s illegal to remove asbestos siding off your house? If not where do you take it to dispose of properly.
I haven’t thought about this guy in decades. I used to see him all over Syosset back in the early 2000s. A couple of creepy run ins but never really knew much about him. Anyone know what happened to him or his story? There’s definitely a troll account on Facebook that used to post weird shit 15 years ago.
mainly looking for bars/clubs for people in their 20s
So i was on my way to Penn Station, out of all days Election day, and I left my airpods on the train. It’s been 4 weeks now and I would know if someone were to have taken them because I put them on lost mode. I lost them in the first place because they were low on battery and I put them to charge (don’t know how i still have the charger and not the airpods lmao), and the last place they were spotted at was the central islip station. They’re dead right now and the lost and found hasn’t gotten them back now so I’m not sure what else I could really do. As mentioned before nobody had turned them on so I’m confused as it’s been close to a month already. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Im wondering if anyone is interested in doing drawing meetups? I am on the meet up app but not a lot of options for artists. Im looking for sketch nights and have found none i love sitting in a coffee shop or park and getting lost in my sketchbook! Anyone feel the same and would you be interested?
Looking for recommendations for a restaurant for a gift card for my mom and dad for christmas. Looking to spend $100. They live on the suffolk Nassau border. Any ideas would be great!
My wife and I both grew up on Long Island (I'm from Manhasset, she's from Syosset). We currently live with our two kids in Brooklyn, but we expect that some time in the next year or so we will want to come back out to the Island. However, neither of us is keen on living in either of the towns in which we grew up. I, in particular, have very specific parameters for what I'm looking for in a town, and while I have a few towns in mind that fit the bill (e.g., Port Washington, Great Neck), I don't pretend to be the ultimate authority on Long Island towns. I would love to hear from others on which towns might fit my criteria but that I'm not thinking of. My criteria is below, and thank you in advance for your recommendations!
Has anyone gone? Is it worth it and would it be crazy to go on a Friday night?
Does anyone know or have any resources for family law attorney probono? I'm trying to get my child back. I desperately need help, the legal aid lawyer is no help
So, my landlord told me the last inspection was with the wrong company and I have to make another one. (IDK). This time I have to call Meuller to schedule it. I called them and the very helpful agent "Amber" told me I had to call Clausen to "order an inspection" and that it takes 5 minutes to 24 hours to get it, then I can call back her at Meuller and she can schedule the inspection.
I called Clausen and they said I have to call Cabrillo. I do that. I get told by them that the insurance is up on the 12th of December and I cannot order it because it can take up to 3 days to get it and I won't be able to get an inspection before the 12th.
I called back Meuller and the nice woman told me she doesn't understand why they said that when she hadn't experienced that.
Now... the reason why I"m posting/asking is because this is exactly what happened the LAST time with Kingstown/Kingston insurance and their inspection company "Venture Underwriting" and Venture said it was no issue. The insurance agency said it was too late for the inspection so I called to cancel the inspection and Venture told me "whenever the insurance agents get involved they screw everything up"... LITERALLY THEY SAID THAT WORD FOR WORD. They said there was plenty of time so I went ahead w/ the inspection and it was fine! The inspection company was right and the insurance was not cancelled.
SOOOOOOOO, I'm just wondering if anyone has any info about this and if this is another case of the "insurance company screwing everything up" and I still have time to schedule the inspection. What can I say or do to get them to order the inspection? The issue is the insurance company (cabrillo) WILL NOT order the inspection. Two diff. agents (Jose and Ishmael) told me Patrick, one of the underwriters, said it's too late.
Does anyone have any insight to this? If anyone works for any of these places would you u be able to help? My landlord is 79, has health issues and I've been here 9 years so I'm trying to help her out.
thank you!
I’m going to start a book club in Suffolk County, as I haven’t been able to find a good one recently. We would probably meet in the Bohemia area. When I get some interest, I’ll set up a discord so we can keep in touch. I was thinking the first book could be The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Post here or dm me if you’re interested in joining!
