I called ahead - my dentist was open and indicated they were taking precautions and also insisted that I take my temperature, wear a mask and show up in my time slot. The staff had personal protective equipment and I wasnt concerned. ?

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. Why not add Daddy to your list...

How could I forget that it is Movember?? ?

I am still amazed that people are waiting so long for test results. I get tested every two weeks and get my test results the next day! ?

They set their prices based on what the market supports. Have you considered that their value to me may exceed the value the market suggests? ?

Definitely - if he declines a quick video chat or stops responding when you request one, you can be almost certain he will flake. ??‍♂️

I usually reach out the day before and ask about availability. Set a time and agree to confirm the next day. Rare for me to do same day. ?

Mine does the same. They are using disposable barber capes and all his equipment is sterilized between uses. The waiting area is closed, there are only two barbers and their seating is at least 10 feet apart. They've done a good job, but it is costing them like crazy - I doubt they are able to make rent on their midtown Manhattan location.

We need to arrange a trip for you to Japan - your definition for a really fast train needs to be revised!

She is of course entitled to her opinion. The problem I sometimes have with relating to Bari Weiss is that she has been crying wolf for so long (basically everywhere she has studied and worked except for her time in Israel) that one has to wonder if she is truly seeing the big picture or caught up in tunnel vision. I appreciated her pieces, but her history as a rather militant pro-Israel commentator does tend to rub people the wrong way. Her comments are protected under free speech but she seems to forget that free speech isnt consequence free. ??‍♂️ Anti-semitism is undoubtably alive and well (sadly), but how you define anti-semitism it is also important. But that is a different topic for a different day.

I’ve heard people say this around the water cooler. It’s not been my experience - have been a subscriber for the past 16 years. Just off the top of my head I can remember 3 instances where the NYT received criticism for allowing right-leaning op eds, unflattering analysis or “tone deaf” pieces from the...shall we say ’overly politically correct’. I am happy with the contents and balance they are striving for.

I'm wondering what he's having for breakfast and why those chairs look so uncomfortable. He should just sit in my lap! ?

Social media is probably one of the most underrated platforms. A number of providers have excellent twitter and instagram accounts. I am guessing Onlyfans is another emerging platform.

I paid special attention to the paper isle this morning - both my neighborhood stores (Key Foods and Stop & Shop) had plenty of supplies here in NYC. I did take the opportunity to stock up...just in case. Thanks for the heads-up!

New York is also on the same wagon with "bring your own bag or pay for one" - so far the checkout folks have been kind enough to help me bag things up.

Well...crap! (Sorry, couldnt resist!) ?

Good lord those haircuts! It hurts my eyes! I won't be able to un-see it...

Apparently he is a very busy DJ these days. Touring Miami during November with DJ Paulo Fragoso and DJ Lagrecca.

No sign of this in my local store in Manhattan. Went shopping earlier this morning and the shelves were fully stocked with no signs or notices indicating any limits. I will keep an eye out and see if I spot any during the week. I have spotted a few weird shortages over the past few months, but not sure if it is COVID related. For example, when I tried to get my hands on shredded coconut last week they were out. Have not seen sunflower seeds in the baking isle in a while. Avocado's are still rather expensive. ?‍♂️

Best to plan ahead!

Agree!

Haha! Right on!

You rebel, you!

Best appreciated when you are a little drunk! ?
