I've been moaning about how nasty everyone seems to be around here lately and perhaps some of the people I encounter are in need of some mental health help. Good news!! There is free online therapy available and it's anonymous. I think this is a really good service and it deserves more publicity so people who need it know it's there. I read about it in a local paper. Have a look around the website. They also do phone counseling.

Finding Day Care in Nassau County
I found this free service online that helps people find day care. It's only a referal service and takes no blame if they day care you choose stinks but it is FREE. This may be a useful starting point for anyone needed child/infant care.

Amusing link

It seems the posters on urbandictionary.com have been having fun insulting Long Islander's... pretty amusing stuff.

Update
I think I mentioned this a while back but I had a baby in November and that has been limiting my blogging time. I hope to update soon with some reviews of doctors, hospitals, insurance plans and buying baby supplies. Thanks for reading and I hope to blog more soon.
Boycotting Super Stop and Shop
I've taken the big step. I've been searching out new supermarkets because it seems every Stop & Shop I visit is full of rude employees and foul fruits (and veg). I have discovered 2 nice Waldbaums, one in Merrick and one in Levittown. Both seem clean, pleasant and friendly. I did stop at a Pathmark in Seaford and I have to say it was worse than Stop & Shop. The whole place looked pretty grungy.
I hope Stop & Shop feels the pain now. They consistently employ rude, ignorant, chip tossing people. I know the wages must be low, but the basic standard to maintain employment must be at least to be civil.
When I'm not feeling like a pauper I go to Whole Foods in Syossett. That place is the Disneyland of Supermarkets. I wish I could afford to shop there everyday.

Super Stop & Shop
Super Stop & Shop
2450 Jerusalem AvenueNorth Bellmore, NY 11710
They have some nerve calling this place "super" anything. I had to run in here yesterday evening for a few quick items. I found the store to be a complete mess. There were reckless teen employees moving around palette sized loads of produce on mini fork lift devices that I had to navigate past. The "fresh" produce aisle was appalling. All the fruits and vegetables looked picked over, old and undesirable. To top off my brief shopping experience I encountered yet another robotic Long Island supermarket employee.
I know working with the public can really stink so I always try to be nice to people in customer service rolls. I greeted the employee at the check out by saying, "Hi, how are you?". She glared at me and said nothing. I then asked her if she would kindly swipe the "house" card because I didn't have my discount card with me. Again, she glared and was wordless. At the end of ringing me up she tossed my potato chips down in a way that was certain half of them cracked.
At this point I chose not to speak either and glared back at her. That actually seemed to help because she said "thank you" as she pulled her pen back out of my hand after I signed my bill.
Why are people so RUDE around here? Where is all the civility? What happened to everyone?
That's my last vent of the month. Look forward to more complaints about various Stop and Shop locations on Long Island. I have a particular fish monger to pick a bone with.

I'm 27 years old at heart...great news!
You Are 27 Years Old |
 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
