hi all! i live in Midtown NYC, Hells Kitchen area, and am looking for scooter recommendations.
my primary commute with be around the midtown area -- only a couple miles to and from work.
i don't have tons of space in my apartment for storage so i don't want anything huge but that's not a deal breaker -- i can deal with cramming it somewhere.
prefer range over speed and my price range peaks around $700.
thanks for the help!
What you are about to read is based on real events - real digestives systems were harmed, real toilets were damaged and real dignities were lost.
THE PRELUDE:
I - a worldly single girl living in Manhattan, the fortress of sin, earning her own living (get Michelle's smelling salts), and living alone (sucks to suck Jana) - have decided to eat tater tot casserole after being haunted by this morbid curiosity for the last 6 months. What made me decide to potentially offend my tastebuds you ask? Well dear reader, I am viciously hungover. Last night I decided to celebrate my birthday a little early and drunkenly fell off a CitiBike and puked in a sidewalk trash.
Now, in my hungover state, I seek physical and spiritual healing. I look outside and see children in public school doing socially distant gym classes and think to myself "how can I find healing HERE?". So I look beyond myself, beyond New York even and know in my heart that the Lord has led me to the Duggars to walk with me through this season of life. I decide that now is the time to make tater tot casserole.
THE MAIN EVENT:
Having accepted the Lord's will and eager to show off my servant's heart in the kitchen, I head outside to gather the ingredients for healing. Once back in my kitchen and barefoot, I begin.
I chose ground beef over turkey just for personal preference and decide to season it with Lawry's because it's my personal conviction that hamburgers are the only time God wants us to eat plain ground beef. As I'm seasoning my meat it does occur to me that even Lawry's might be too spicy for the Duggars, but I proceed knowing that Jesus was a trailblazer and he wouldn't mind if I was one too.
I have never seen canned creamed soups before in my life and let out an audible gasp when I saw its texture. Reader at this point I started to doubt myself - could I really handle this? Was I gonna live to see my birthday after this? But if Michelle's uterus can stay put after 19 kids, then I can do this.
I replaced evaporated milk with skim milk, something I doubt any Duggar has ever done out of sheer concern for my wellbeing. Since I'm a New Yorker and not a duchess with cabinet space, I made it in a cast iron pan instead of a casserole dish. I admit I found it artistically freeing, arranging those tater tots in a neat row and then sprinkling cheese all over it. I asked myself if this is the most control any Duggar girl gets - deciding where each tater will live and seeing the cheese
... keep reading on reddit ➡Kind of a local New York thing, but I'm born in brooklyn, mostly lived in Manhattan, and everytime I've wound up in Williamsburg I've had to experience the snobbiest crowd In America. Yet they constantly talk about how Manhattan is snobby/pretentious and would 'never' live there 🙄.
I live on the boundary between HK and CC/UWS, and every day I see most people not showing any signs of being in possession of a mask, or they simply have it under their chin. What's the point? Have we simply been lulled into a false sense of security, given that we're not churning out numbers like the rest of the country?

Training
This is my 7th half marathon. I ran the Staten Island Half in October and just before felt like I wasn't ready. Decided to find another race and try training a bit more. Everything went pretty smoothly. In workouts, I was hitting my paces and feeling mostly ok. I knew getting right around 2:10 wouldn't be easy for me, but also it's not that fast. I should be able to do this. I followed Kara Goucher's half marathon plan and using plan A for lower mileage. I did get the stomach bug and was basically out of it for a week. It was a doozy, but I hit my paces in my workout the following week still which made me feel like it was just a minor hiccup.
Pre Race
Per my traditions, the night before the race I ate pizza and painted my nails. I packed all my race day essentials into my bag and set my alarm. When my alarm went off in the morning I just wanted to stay in bed. I was dreading being out in the cold for so long and really dreading the whole running 13.1 miles thing I was about to do. But I got up and got my clothes on, ate a banana and peanut butter, went to the bathroom an abnormal number of times, and got out the door. Walking to the subway, I realized that it was indeed very cold. I had timed my departure so I would have just enough time to check my bag, get my bib, warmup, and get to the starting line. I did not want to be out in the cold longer than need be. I got to the race and saw a lot of dogs (wee!) but very few runners. When I ran Staten Island in October it was considered a small race at only 14,000 people. There were fewer than 200 people and it felt a bit disorganized. I have a bit superstition about wearing the race shirt in the race (what if you don't finish? it feels like you haven't earned the right to wear the shirt yet) but realized another layer would do me good. I pulled off my fleece and popped on th

Listen guys, if you live in Manhattan go here: http://www.nextdayflyers.com/sticker-printing/2x2-stickers.php . You can pay $20 for 100 stickers of a Bernie logo you can upload on your own. GO FORTH- put them on poles, mailboxes, and everywhere they can be seen. 1) they come off easily and so are not technically destroying anything. 2) If you live in NYC you know there are already stickers and graffiti all over these places anyway. Lets clean em up with some #StickerBernieBrigade!
Why is this important? Because due to walk-ups and doormen in NYC we cannot canvass appropriately. We need other, more creative, grass-root ways of being visible!
If you buy 100 stickers make sure you go for the square ones, bc only those are that cheap. Also, delivery was fast- I got my stickers in 3 days.
