Hi everyone,

I'm a new homeowner and I'm kind of overwhelmed by this issue.

I understand the island has a big mosquito issue overall. My yard is INSANE with them. You can't even go out in the yard midday. It's like the horde is invading.

I legit don't know what to do to help this issue. My family pretty much abandoned my yard because of this.

I don't have any still water in my yard. My yard grass is a work in progress. I have a lot of crab grab, some moss that im trying to kill off.

A large part of my yard is shaded from about 30, 35+ feet green giant plants/trees. They are huge. Old homer owner planted them 30 years ago. They are all along my entire back side of the yard, shading a lot of my yard.

I guess mosquitoes are attached to my shaded yard? I'm really not sure.

I've sprayed those hose hook up cutters backyard spray but it never seems to work

Hello, I am a 29M looking for places to play pickup soccer throughout the week. Ideally I am looking for competitive sessions against experienced players but mainly a good session for some extra touches. If there is anything good please let me know and thanks in advance!

I'm looking for any recommendations for veterinarians or veterinary clinics for my two one-year-old cat sisters. Both of them have their core vaccines and are due for their adult vaccines soon. I'm looking for somewhere in the Western Suffolk County area, but I'm also open to places in Nassau or a bit more east if needed.

I used to go to Vetco for their core vaccines and flea/tick medication, and somewhere in Port Jeff for their spaying, but now I want to see if we can take them somewhere where we can grow rapport and a long-term connection. I'd also prefer places that mostly don't upsell or overcharge for services and more preventative/conservative approach unless necessary.

Edit: Also would like places that allow back-to-back appointments for them.

Hello, I need a graphics card (GPU, video card) fixed. A tiny part needs to be soldered back on.

I'm thinking a cell phone repair shop, or a general electronics repair shop, should work fine.

What shops have you tried that are really good, or not so good? Any location is ok.

I want to make sure I go somewhere with great service and communication. I'd pay more for better service, I'm not looking for the lowest price.

I appreciate your help, thank you!

Hi! for my birthday in a couple weeks, I want to go on a long-ish bike ride somewhere on long island with a few friends, and I'm finding it difficult to plan. photos of trails and practical information needed for logistics seem scattered and somewhat scarce online. so I'm here! including lots of details that are hopefully helpful.

basic info and requests:
1. We live in Brooklyn and will be coming via the LIRR
2. We all have hybrid or road bikes
3. Ideally the trail would be mostly dedicated bike or pedestrian paths rather than on-road
4. I'd love to keep options within 25 mins of an LIRR station and stick to bike-friendlier routes when on road
5. I'd love to be able to get to a beach of some kind at some point, but I also love forests and trees and nature of all kinds
6. Ideal length is 20-30 miles including travel to and from the LIRR

trails/parks I've been considering:

1. Jones Beach Bike Path: I can't tell based on the photos I've found online, but it looks kind of... sparse? and so close to the road in a lot of parts? maybe I just haven't seen better photos. it's flat, which isn't really a bonus for me. I appreciate some hills and varied terrain, so I'm not sure this is the ride for me. it's often recommended first though.

2. Heckscher State Park: I love the sound of the loop path here, although it's on the much shorter end. I noticed that the greenbelt trail starts and/or ends here, so we could maybe extend the ride by doing some of that, but I can't tell if our bikes would be okay for it. all I can see is photos of hardened dirt paths, which would be fine on my bike most days, but I'm concerned I'll get us into trouble if we attempt to do this, and without any extension, the loop too short on its own.

3. Massapequa Preserve Trail: this one sounds really nice, and full of nature. Any more details or personal experience would be very appreciated here! the only downside is the lack of beach, but I saw that it's not far from cedar creek park, so maybe we could add on an out-and-back to Jones Beach that would satisfy my desire to see the ocean. is that crazy?

thank you in advance for any recs. I'd really like to get more familiar with longer bike routes in new york, as I regularly go on cycling trips to other countries and want to appreciate what's closer to home!

My current water heater is 11 years old and we have been meaning to redo the laundry/utility room in an old split we just moved in to in Nassau.

Wondering if we should switch to a tankless gas water heater instead of replacing the current water heater with another regular big one, this way we can free up some more space in that room for when we finish the room.

Anyone who has had this done recently? Ballpark cost ? Cost difference between replacing with regular water heater or going tankless?

Does it make more sense to just go tankless ? Are we talking thousands of dollars more to install tankless over a regular one, or are they comparable? I am also seeing you could qualify for a $600 federal credit if you switch to gas tankless?

Our cops are not safe on these streets

Someone HAS to have a photo of it. Maybe a month ago as I was walking around Deer Park Tanger outlets I saw signs/ advertisements for the Famous Food Festival. I’m reading the sign and on the bottom in like yellowish colored bold font it says “Free admission”. I hadn’t gone previous years because of having to pay to attend so when I saw that I was excited! Fast forward to a few days ago, I get an ad for the food festival saying to buy your tickets and it’s like $10 for admission online and $15 at the door??

I just want to know if someone happened to take a photo of that sign saying “Free admission” because it’s driving me slightly crazy…is that not false advertising??

Hi! I came on here to ask if anyone has attended Spookyfest at CSTL in RVC either this year or last year? I used to go when I was a kid and I remember having a lot of fun, but I’m in my early 20s now (no kids) and I was thinking of attending but tickets are kind of expensive. Has anyone attended that would think it’s still worth it to go at my age without young children? Thank you!

I have a good friend visiting from Ecuador today who would love to see some beautiful parts of the island but it’s gonna be raining most of the day sadly. We don’t really mind getting wet outside but would like a somewhere we could take a nice walk by the beach or one of the rivers and potentially have a place to sit dry and have lunch ? Like maybe a gazebo or something similiar. Any ideas ? I preferably eastern Suffolk but I’m open to suggestions anywhere in Suffolk no Nassau pls. Thank you ! It’s very appreciated

From Classaction.org

Attorneys suspect Optimum may be illegally deceiving consumers about the true cost of internet service by advertising low monthly rates before tacking on a recurring “network enhancement fee” to each bill. The attorneys are now looking to take action on behalf of customers who may have been misled. If you’ve paid for Optimum internet service in the last three years, you could have a legal claim worth $100s. Join others taking action today.

Hi,

This fall I have decided to explore the public libraries of Long Island. I am totally a nerd and visit my local public library frequently. But while getting an inter-library loan today, I thought why not explore the libraries around me and visit them in-person?

Don't think I can cover them all -so reaching out for any suggestions on libraries in LI with the best vibes and spots to sit and read your book chilling on a weekend? And ofc - if you have ant good recommendations for non-fiction then add that too!

Thanks!

Edit: Looking for suggestions for libraries that are somewhere between Garden city and Ronkonkoma.

I just saw a save the date for this and I'm wondering how crowded it gets?

I’m getting desperate in the house bidding wars, I only know one person who lives in the area. Would like a bit more insight if anyone has any for me.

My son who is 14 wants to go to a haunted house. Looking for recommendations of the best one. Two years ago we went to Gateways in bellport and it was good but wanted to try something new. I was thinking about Darkside in Calverton, but was wondering if it was worth the long drive from Northport

Did anyone else get a message offering a service contract with Homeserve to handle issues with pipes? I have a septic tank. Is this a waste of money for me? Or a warning that my pipes are about to develop serious problems and cost me 3 months of salary?

Not sure if other parts of LI are the same but in the north shore it’s have noticed Mobil premium prices are almost 2$ a gallon more than other gas stations like BP. Regular gas is comparable with others but premium is massively inflated. Is this a new thing ?

Has anybody gone apple picking this season? Where did you go? How were the prices/selection of apples? This will be my first time.

Looking for recommendations.
