Help Midtown Alternatives?

24 Upvotes

We’ve been members of Midtown for 5 years now, but are getting priced out. Dues have risen 45% in 4 years, so at almost $500 a month for a couples membership it’s getting way out of our budget.

Has anyone found an alternative that offers group classes and weight machines etc? I’ll miss the amenities but the duo classes/lifting is more important.

Not interested in Schottland Y, or planet fitness or anything. Looking for something in the city proper.

This handsome 4 month old grey boy is equal parts cuddly sweetheart & absolute fucking menace.

Opie is a little character who keeps us laughing every single day. Basically he's never met a stranger, a curtain he didn't want to climb, or a chicken nugget he didn't want to steal. He's FULL of energy, endlessly entertaining, & incredibly affectionate. If he's not busy causing chaos, he's guaranteed to be curl up with his people soaking up all the love he can get.

Quick list of fav hobbies:

• swinging from curtains like he pays the mortgage

• grand theft of chicken nuggets

• believing he's just one of the dogs

• wwe kitten smackdown

• greeting his foster parents at the door like he's been waiting his whole life

• YELLING if he doesn't feel he's receiving adequate attention

• champion drawstring chasing

Opies comes to you up to date on vaccinations, neutered, FeLV negative, dewormed& flea treated.

Other YMCA Membership Sharing Request :)

6 Upvotes

Thinking about joining the Y here and saw they have a 20/20 referral program.

Basically, if a current member refers a new one, we both get 20% off our monthly dues as long as we both keep our memberships active.

Figured I'd see if anyone on here wants to link up so we can both save some cash. On signup I just need to put a name it looks like.

Also, if one of us eventually cancels, the other person gets 30 days to find a new referral buddy to keep the 20% discount going. You can refer as many people as you want

Shoot me a DM if you want to set it up!

Event You rear ended me today…

102 Upvotes

About 2:30pm. Intersection of 96 and Rowley Rd. Heading into the town. I was surprised. Not that you hit me, but how it happened. I noticed you behind be at the intersection where the Woodcliff entrance is. I noticed you then because you approached the red fast, faster than I expected. Thought you’d hit me then. And then I couldn’t help but notice each red we caught, past the mall, past Walmart, at the bridge. What I didn’t expect was while you didn’t hit me as we were stopping at Rowley Rd.
As we sat there, waiting for the red to turn green. BAM!!! You got me. The look of surprise you had on your face in my rear-view mirror said it all. You looked down at your phone for one second, but also took your foot off the break. I wasn’t surprised. The man in the truck next to me said he’d let us pass so we could pull over and do the thing. I thanked him, pulled forward and put my signal on to pull into Wendy’s or wherever was close. But you didn’t follow. You drove away….. So I pulled back onto the road, several cars behind you. I kept expecting you to realize I was behind you and pull off, but you didn’t, you waited till you realized I was the car behind you, and after you saw me take a picture of your license plate. But even then you quickly pulled(no blinker) into the Dunkin/ Salvatore’s plaza. I couldn’t follow because of the kids crossing the sidewalk.

Anyways…..

I hope you’re ok, I hope your car is ok. My vehicle is fine. As the father of a young kid starting to drive, I just wanted to plead to you, get off the phone. And slow down. This could have been so much worse. I hope this was a wake up call to you.

Well wishes, and safe driving. And put the phone down. It’s not worth it.

Recommendation nail salons that AREN’T hack shops?

15 Upvotes

so, i just left a salon on monroe ave to get my gel mani redone. i recently dove back into the world of getting my nails done because i got a gift certificate to one on park, and i gotta say, i’m very quickly being reminded why i stopped getting my nails done in the first place.

no sanitation standards, drills on nail beds and cuticles, horrid gel application, you name it. my nails look like /I/ did them, and i’m sorry but the entire point of paying someone to do your nails is so they look better than how i would do it. yet, i know for a fact i could do a better job with regular polish. (maybe i just answered my own question and have to learn how go apply gel polish and stop going to these places, huh…)

ANYWAYS. does anyone have any recommendations for a nail salon that isn’t insanely expensive, but also does good quality work? and also doesn’t reuse nail clippers/files without sanitizing them first? and won’t drill tf outta my cuticles? or am i doomed to spending $80 at the del monte each time i want a decent fucking mani?????

EDIT: thanks for the helpful suggestions!!!! and it’s sad to see that so many shops are just horrible. i hate that there seems to be no strict standards set for these places. i think my plan is to let these grow out, soak them off, and either bite the bullet and spend the extra money OR i stop getting my nails done altogether.

Help How do I find my daughter on the streets of Rochester?

Post image
685 Upvotes

I saw my daughter on a spectrum news story they did about the homeless. I’ve contacted spectrum and some shelters/outreach places, but I have come up short.

She has no way of getting in touch with me as she doesn’t have my number or address. We’re from Buffalo. I still reside there.

My heart breaks everyday for her. I’m afraid that I may never see her again.

I don’t have a car or I’d be in Rochester at the outreach centers looking for her.

I don’t have the funds or I would hire a private investigator

Any advice?
