NP. What does this have to do with hiring a lawyer? "Cut your losses: abandon an enterprise or course of action that is clearly going to be unprofitable or unsuccessful before one suffers too much loss or harm."

absolutely not true. We get our in the CT right after thanksgiving and it is fine. Granted, we are only up weekends and the house is kept cold in between, but two weeks is nothing. A tree can stay green for quite a long time if you put water in the stand--if it wasn't cut months before.

trees last about 2 weeks, and you are nuts to pay more than 100 for one under 7 feet. You bought a tree on Dec 1 and expected it to look fresh for xmas? most people are getting them now. at MOST, people bought a week ago. you are expecting too much. sometimes they last a long time if you get lucky, but in NYC- tey werent cut down in central park so theyve been cut for a while. Mine wasnt drinking water after 3 days last year.

Np: their trees are also gorgeous for the price. We got ours there (not nyc) for $50 and it is huge and full. We had to cut off two feet (one from bottom and one from top) and still cant fit an angel and it feels like it takes up a 1/3 of our living room. My dad saw it on facebook and said why would you waste so much on a tree? He assumed i paid $2-300.

That sucks. We bought our tree at Thanksgiving. It is barely drinking now but the branches are not brown. You should never spend 200 on a tree in nyc. Go to Whole Foods and buy one for 60. I would just leave the tree to be honest. It can be a funny thing. I would never take off all of the damn ornaments and put them on again to take them off again in 2 weeks

2 weeks is not a long time for a tree. We have our tree up for 5 weeks every year and it has never browned on us. Try the place you bought it-- I doubt they will comp you a new tree, but perhaps they will let you buy at a discount. You never know until you ask.

OP: we are not aiming for top-level skim coating as that wouldn't last in our apartment (with still young kids). Just smoothing the surface reasonably after removing wallpaper and some scratches. Yes, we are getting another estimate but I was wondering if anybody had these breakdowns worked out recently to compare. Getting also online pricing calculators for our zip code although am not sure that works well for NYC.

No one is investigating a 25 gift card. They would not even know he had it . Teachers are technically not allowed to take gift but they will take small ones. I have my favorite bus driver a card and gift card and he is happily at his job. Dont listen to this person. Now if you want to give him 1000 it is a problem.

Give her the gift card! If she can't accept it she will say so. Whenever I read people discouraging others from giving a generous gift, I can't help but think they're trying to save $$ or justify to themselves why they' aren't doing the same. City employees don
t make a lot and I'm sure she'll appreciate it. I always gave our bus driver something around the holidays

What is the ny state requirement? I believe our public district suggests gifts $25 and under. Sometimes a class parent gathers $20-100/ child to give the teacher for various things, like classroom expenses throughout the year, and she decides an amount given for holiday and year end gift. Hopefully all families get credit, but admin picks the class parents so it’s all self serving anyways.

Here's concrete advice for someone in similar boat. Put DD on child health plus - you can pay full price for it, it's $260 a month, there is no deductible or co-pays of any kind, Tribeca Pediatircs + all hospitals take it. For yourself - here's a name of a broker helen@hafinsurance.com - she can put you into a fake union based plan that is way better than anythign on the exchange which NO ONE takes. The plans with that union are CIGNA open network

Just FYI, the top, most expensive plans on the NY State of Health exchange provide excellent coverage- no deductibles, accepted by top docs and top hospitals. Yes they are pricey, and if you and family are young and healthy, the risk of less good but less expensive plan IS the best choice, so no argument here. But just wanted provide the information that IF you have health issues, these top plans are excellent and worth every penny. I repeat, IF you have any serious or complex health Issues, these top plans provide first rate coverage.

The problem with the fake union plans is that it may be insurance fraud, so if you wind up making large claims due to severe illness, the insurance company will surely investigate, determine you were not actually eligible for the fake union or its plan, and not only could claims be denied, but prosecution for insurance fraud is possible.

I have Oscar and it is difficult to find doctors that take it -- a lot keep dropping out, nothing is included, you have to pay for tests and use only a certain lab, it is all very confusing and a headache. I have it just to have something, but do yourself a favor and research reviews -- many many unhappy people. Bronze plan.

Maybe never? I buy a pretty or cute card and usually tuck a photo in. I write and address all of mine by hand though so I probably only send 2-3 dozen to close family and friends.

The Cloisters. It might be lovely that time of year. I'm very much a downtown person and always take guests to Il Corallo on Prince Street for dinner. Have been going there for nearly 20 years. It's my happy place. And then ice cream around the block at Van Leuwen.

Take her for a ride on the nyc ferry. The ride to Astoria covers a lot of fun stops and if you time it right you can hit sunset and when the building lights start to go on. Can access from 34th street or pier 11 downtown. Really nice and there is even a bar on board.

Why is it prestigious? Everyone I know who went to Harvard makes less money than I do, and I'm not mega rich. They also don't have any extraordinary accomplishments. What's the prestige?

They're the same old same old. If people stop watching the same formulas by the same directors and producers, something new and different might find it's way through production.

I liked it. I read Jojo’s friend, the cute kid with glasses, is going to be in a remake of home Alone. He was adorable.

We've seen Judy, Joker, Knives Out, and Jojo Rabbit. All excellent in different ways. Judy and Joker had outstanding performances by the leads. Knives Out is the perfect Agatha Christie drawing room murder and a lot of fun. Jojo Rabbit is funny, sad, well acted and directed, good characters, spoofy, and heartbreaking.

She sort of has a point. Why do we remember Mary Todd Lincoln, if not for her famous husband and subsequent insanity?

HM well, this is true. If you read Lachman's "The Last Lincolns", there are some awful passages of her wandering from hotel to hotel with Tad, consulting spiritualists and getting worse and worse. Finally, her son Robert ambushed her with a sanity hearing, her treatment was very benign for the times, but she never spoke to him again.

We didn't exchange gifts in our firm. We collected cash for the staff and I would give a gift card to my assistant and paralegal.

Yes, this. You can bring in some kind of treat for the whole staff including the partners, but no individual gifts.

It's giving back part of your salary in an attempt to make your job more secure. If you have to do that to be taken seriously and get ahead, that's what you have to do.

Not only tacky. It may be prohibited because it can be - in extreme cases - buying favor from superiors.

Gift down, not up at a Firm. I broke this rule as an early associate just out of trying to be nice and it was awkward for everyone.

I am trying to get a gift for the entire family instead of individual gifts, I should have been more specific. I know what they would like - xbox, gift cards, money. Hoping to find a cute idea the whole family can enjoy. This is random but would you think it was funny to get a life size Elf cut out or a big crazy blow up for the yard?

Are you asking for family gift suggestions when kids are teens? Kind of generic, but a restaurant or movie gift card, family game like a set of poker chips and cards, rock climbing or adventure park (zipline) day pass for the family. Need budget and some sense of the family.
