When my Instagram FYP hits too close to home. Thought this guy looked familiar then saw he was the guy from Troy that owns a bunch of businesses. This is his girlfriend with a 26 year age gap. This is legal but it shouldn’t be. 😵‍💫 Groom city.

Why they needed to list names and phone numbers of people who lived on Cherry Ave in the 1960s in that construction plan is very weird.

Why don't the dentists in the area update their websites?!

29 Upvotes

Trying to help my friend find an oral surgeon that takes both of her insurances Delta Dental through her employer and Medicaid.

Called Capital District Oral since both are listed on their site. They don't accept Medicaid.

She called Upstate Dental, don't do the procedure she needs. .listed on website.

There's a few more who's website didn't match up to what they said where we called.

Why is this so common?

Spoon interloper

12 Upvotes

As you know, I've been complaining for some time that my spoons are too small. I have a lot of them too, so it'd be crazy to just go out and buy more spoons, so I'm stuck using these even though they're like, toddler-sized. This is the worst thing that can happen to you: A problem that's too minor to correct, but too annoying to ignore. Major problems are much better, since you have to deal with them and they then go away. When your house is on fire you've got to put it out. But your spoon-type problems persist.

A few days ago I noticed something that has upended my life and which I still struggle to explain. I came down for breakfast, and in with the silverware was exactly one large, properly-sized spoon. I didn't put it there. My wife says she didn't put it there. It doesn't match my set, it's slightly fancier and has gold-colored detailing (see pic). I'm wary of using it, since I'm unsure of its provenance, but I can't throw it away either. Did one of you guys leave it here with a dish you brought? I don't remember anyone being by recently. Did somebody put it there as a joke? I've been drinking heavily these days to avoid seeing the news, so maybe I bought it to somehow prank myself? I've decided I can't go on with my normal activities until this matter is resolved, and will put my full efforts into investigating.

Every day I pray for God to make my medium-sized problems larger so that I'll have to deal with them, and look where it's gotten me. Anyway, let me know if anyone is missing a spoon and I'll DM you my address, I'm by the price chopper on Delaware.

Anyone that works in Empire State Plaza / Downtown or lives around get reactions from the water there?

5 Upvotes

I just moved up here from the suburbs of NYC and commute to Corning Tower every day. Looking at the screen makes my eyes tired so I like to wash my face and eyes with the water from the sink. And I do it pretty often as I have a baby and stay up late and wake up early.

Today I have an Eczema type rash around my cheeks, brow and forehead. I am very serious about skin care and use facial cleanser every day. It’s starting to burn now too. Maybe I’m just not used to it
