New York City
- New York City I have a ton of high end cosmetic samples but am not sure from when. Is there anyway to figure out how old they are? It’s brands like La Mer so I don’t want to just throw away.
- then use them
- I have never seen anyone post to the New York City board.
- lol. I see a post once in a while.
- I was part of the original migration and this is my first time. Is it an active board?
- I don't think so. I think I get all the posts from there and it's like maybe one every 6 mos
- ^^mostly newbies who don't know all the action is on here ;)
- It's all Toddler, all the time, though none of us have toddlers anymore.
- exactly. we're talking college applications nowadays

- If you have never used them, chuck them.
- np, but I'd try them. I'd put a little on
- op: I’m unsure but I think they are 1 1/2 years old but unopened.
- They're fine!
- oh 1.5 years is a-ok!
- op: I’m unsure but I think they are 1 1/2 years old but unopened.
- np, but I'd try them. I'd put a little on
- Try them. Nothing going to happen
- there is a thing on the bottom or back of cosmetics that looks like a jar with a line going through it and a number
- you can check www.checkfresh.com or www.checkcosmetics.com and enter their black codes printed on each packet and find out

- New York City Dinner at Nougatine tonight. Just looked at the menu. The cocktails are $19-22. Insanity
- I'd object on principle
- And I'd object if it is still housed in the Trump tower
- op: it is a business dinner so I could not object and while it is housed there, it is not affiliated at all
- And I'd object if it is still housed in the Trump tower
- what do you expect from fine dining?
- fine dining. wow. I think it hardly exists anymore
- I don't think it does in my city. its all shared tables, order at counter
- What city is that?
- I don't think it does in my city. its all shared tables, order at counter
- op: not unexpected. Just crazy
- fine dining. wow. I think it hardly exists anymore
- That is standard now
- in no way is $19 standard for ONE cocktail. $15 maybe.
- So don't drink. Just have tap water with dinner.
- op: I'm not saying I won't pay it. I just find it a bit shocking. Jeez
- FWIW in Reykjavik, drinks are that price - and that is at regular pubs and restaurants
- op: I'm not saying I won't pay it. I just find it a bit shocking. Jeez
- Bear in mind that Nougatine is a hotel restaurant
- Rent goes up, taxes go up and so cocktails go up.
- I'd object on principle
- New York City Where should DH and I go in vacation-- no kids-- in August. Prefer a nice mix of eating out and lounging around around. New England town?...(more)
- Sure New England sounds nice. It won't matter where you go, you'll just marvel at all the time and freedom you have without the kids there.
- Newport, Nantucket, Portland Maine, Stowe, Martha's Vineyard, Provincetown ... so many good choices for what you are looking for!

- New York City This post has been disliked 3 times. Trump is the most effective president so far in my lifetime
- Effective doing what?
- This post has been deleted.
- lol
- Effective at what?
- Foreign policy, trade, terrorism, job creation, economic stimulation, immigration to name a few
- Hahahaha!!!!!!!! Lolololol!!!!
- Ok. I needed a baseline as to what I was dealing with. You are obviously mental or a troll.
- Well, there's no reason to expect an intelligent conversation with you, I see.
- We all hate Trump. Why do you think you’ll convince otherwise? You are here to tell.
- Trying to convince? One cannot state an opinion?

- Not every New Yorker is a Democrat
- Single Jewish dad?
- You type really well for a baby
- Why post this knowing you’ll be flamed? Trolling?
- How would someone know that?
- Are you that god damn dumb? This is and has always been a liberal board.
- Are you serious? You think this is a right wing board?
- No, had no expectation of right wing. I am an independent. I thought New Yorkers might be a little more sophisticated than what I am seeing now.
- You trump supporters really are clueless. YBM has always been liberal.
- How would someone know that?
- I agree-despite his personality he has achieved a lot
- Ah, an unemotional, unbiased comment! I was beginning to think this was impossible!

- Make sure he has his own money and a plan for care when he gets old.
- It’s too old
- Does he have kids and money? I wouldn’t be amenable to being a caretaker any time soon
- You could easily have 15 or more good years with him. But you need to make sure that he has money for care and to leave to his kids that wont be for you.
- same exact stats here. he has money, he has grown kids. but the age difference weighs on me.
- np- my dad refused getting into a relationship with a woman nearly 20 years younger (who he had known for many years) because he didn't want her to have to care for him...and it...(more)
- Too old. My step dad is 13 years older than my mom and is now in a home and she's alone again.
- have you seen his body yet?
- yep-- he's in very good shape. and the sex is great!
- You are mixing issues here. You have to protect your kids financially whether a man is older than you or not.
- I know, but it's not just money. My kids are 14 and 9, my soon to be X is 54. Feels like I'm changing the dynamic... though I do really, really like him.

- np: for a "lighter" summer read, perhaps some Willa Cather?
- Good idea! I've read O Pioneers and My Antonia. Any others you can recommend?
- poor kid
- Loving literature of this era doesn't make for a "poor kid"
- OP admits she is slogging through the book
- OP said she loves Charlotte Bronte

- I meant it in jest!
- OP said she loves Charlotte Bronte
- OP admits she is slogging through the book
- Obviously you travel in different circles than OP
- why do you think this? War and Peace is a huge challenge for most.
- what did you mean by "poor kid?"
- slogging through War and Peace!
- She said both. Perhaps W&P is required. Who knows.
- She chose it b/c of its connection to a musical she loves.

- I need an R&F salesmen
- My friend sold Arbonne and her skin looked really good. Now she hasn't for a long time and it's "meh" again. I think Arbonne really works.
- np. My dh would compliment my skin all the time when I used the R9 system. Wish I could afford it :(
- i don't know anyone selling rodan & fields honestly.

- Frost valley
- np - not for a 13yo. those kids have been going for 3-4 years already.

- Camp Cody or cedar lake are places I would look into. I know people that went to those at 12.
