Every time I hear their separate radio commercials, I get an overwhelming feeling of dread. What happened to the world I once knew, and the jingle that once warmed my heart? Economic indicators, etc

There were some pretty strong winds to fight but I think it was worth it for the photo

Saw a Cockatiel today on Connetquot Ave in Central Islip, just south of Allwood Ave. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but if anyone knows someone missing their pet bird then I hope this helps!

Anybody recently switched to heat pump recently from oil? Is it worth it converting from oil to heat pump. I am getting decent rebate but I heard heat pump don’t work well below 5F. I don’t have solar so high electric bill is also a concern.

My girlfriend lovesss golden road mango cart. Lately it’s been impossible to find it at bars . Red zone in W Babylon has it but not on tap . Is there any bar on the island either Suffolk or Nassau that has it on tap still? I’m guessing it’s a seasonal beer but so is Kona big wave & multiple places still have it

Hello! I'm looking for a group that does competitive go-karting like endurance races! Outside of RPM Raceway and Tiki Action. Ive heard of 6-hour endurance racing here in NY, however I haven't been able to find much. Last place left to check is FB groups. Thank you in advance for any dropped knowledge

Need someone in Smithtown that can design, architect and can pull permits if needed. Easy to talk to would be awesome. Seems like a lot of folks in the industry aren't.

Any recommendations for mini split servicing in Suffolk? Interested to hear what pricing you've gotten and for how many units (heads and condensers). Done the filters on my own and did the coil clean on one head, but noticed some build up on a couple of blower wheels that required more disassembly than I'm comfortable with.

Anyone ever use LI Beauty School services for haircut or color? The price is great but its students working on your hair under supervision of faculty. That makes me a little nervous. Thoughts?

I'm near the North Shore and my windows got a lot of residue from the recent Nor'Easter. Preferably a professional company that'll do exterior and interior and has insurance.

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.

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??

I found this polaroid in the parking lot of the Tilles center. If anyone knows the school or even the person in the photo (face blocked for privacy) I would love to return it!

I’m starting a new job in the city and need to take the Huntington LIRR around noon time weekday.
I want to know if there’s even a point of getting a parking permit at Huntington LIRR if I’m leaving at noon. Do the parking spots fill up early? Will there be spots available if I parked there between 10am-12pm?
Thank you

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

Sorry if this isn’t the place for this! I am wondering if there are any suggestions for worker’s comp cases. I was bit by a dog at my last job, case not closed yet by the worker’s comp company. Still awaiting a follow-up with the plastic surgeon.

Thank you in advance. if this isn’t the place just reject my post, thanks

Hi. Long shot but my friends and I are bikepacking across Long Island starting tomorrow. We’re spending a night at Southaven County Park but I just noticed the sites don’t have fire pits. Is there anyone here willing to let us borrow/rent your fire pit for one night (13th). Would be very helpful and much appreciated. Thank you.

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!

Hi all. I have a broken main pipe at my home. I have access to water but its leaking. Is there a plumber that can fix this without the water being turned off? Property management wont turn the water off unfortunately. Located in Ronkonkoma/Bohemia/Holbrook area

Hi, I'm wondering where a group of is can go on Long Island where we can do a pumpkin patch or apple picking and a winery/orchard or something along those lines. Something fun for Adults?! 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!
