New York - Broadway trip in February

Posted by Sheepdog1833 on 12/19/25 at 2:23 pm
I’m sending my wife and daughter to see a couple Broadway shows for Mardi Gras break.
Is staying close to Broadway in Hell’s Kitchen a good idea safety wise?
Any other suggested spots?
I’ve had it done twice within the past year and have to say I’m not happy with the results.
I’ve had it since childhood and it always nagged me even into adulthood. Prior I did not wear glasses or have vision problems.
First surgery was in February, both eyes. One muscle in one eye. Two in the other. Took a couple of weeks before I felt comfortable to drive because of the new alignment causing a bit of “overlapping” vision as best as I can describe.
Both eyes stayed aligned for about a month then one began to veer outward and up, opposite than before.
I elected to have surgery again in November to correct the one outward eye. Almost immediately I knew it wasn’t corrected enough.
I’m debating my options moving forward. If I stop at this point, it want worth it for me.

If I wanted to keep my Yamaha, would an Eastman pch2-gace be a nice buy?

To answer your question, I’m not sure.

I’m an amateur.
My daughter plays a good amount on it and I want to give her something moving forward as she goes off to college.
She may have interest in playing gigs so I was maybe thinking electronics on it but not 100% convinced of that.

Yamaha FG700S upgrade?

Looking for an upgrade with a budget of $500 before taxes and set up.

Can I get something in that range with meaningful upgrades?

What’s the latest and greatest treatment for rolled ankles?
Ice? Heat? Elevation? Keep it moving?

We are beginners and he has recently shown interest in hitting a few balls after school with me in the yard. We have a couple clubs that I’ve somehow acquired over the years, having never played.
I have about 200 yds of open space in our front yard.
Here’s my question.

Is there a club best suited for learning as a beginner? My inclination is a pitching wedge, am I on the right track?

Music will be performed by Chris Tomlin, Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe Carnes, Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake.
If you see symptoms, essentially everyone has already been exposed.

Also, did you know the recent guidance for pink eye, for similar reasons is to send kids back to school with it with no waiting period.

I just watched this with my kids this past weekend after not having seen it in almost 30 years.
shite is voodoo!
I tried Amitriptyline I think 25mg and I did have some mild depressive side effects so I stopped.

Shingles maybe but I have had them before maybe twenty years ago and I don’t think that’s it either.
Is there a way to test for shingles that is rashless?

ETA: Also having a lot of gurgling in my stomach over basically the same period.
Almost exact same for me.
Sitting driving is when I notice most.
But zero pain when I am doing physical labor. I figured if muscular, possibly would get worse while lifting and such.
Looking for help here.

45 yo male
Year long intermittent dull pain in area between left hip bone and lower left rib cage. Can’t pinpoint when it happens. No clear food cause. No clear position cause. Never changes pain level. Either the pain is there or nothing.

Endoscopy negative
Colonoscopy negative
Tried Prilosec - nothing
Put on a low dose ssri to try to interior nerve pain. No help
Ultrasound of kidneys negative.
A year and a half ago, have laparoscopic surgery to remove kidney stone. No kidney stones visible and blood work is clear.
Did PT for a while for lower back pain and hip misalignment. Didn’t touch it.

Any help here would be great. The pain is not debilitating but is almost constant.
I’m not sure what route to go next.

When y’all are spraying indoors and outdoors, where exactly are you spraying ?
Outdoors I do eves down the wall to a couple feet into the grass.
Inside I spray baseboards and thresholds.
Is this good?
Anyone have current experience of costs in S LA to refinish dulled/scratched clear coat on stained concrete floors?
