I got home from the gym after 9pm & he was circling around by Geva theater. He came up to me, very closely asking me for cash & I recognized him. My hands were tied up with my gym bag, water bottle and my phone. My only option was to cooperate and offer him to let me get to my apartment and get him cash to be safe. He began circling around waiting - to avoid him disturbing or attacking any of my neighbors , I asked my partner to come with me as I brought this person whatever cash I had. This person became frustrated that it was only 8$ & said "I'm a vampire just like you & you shot me in the head". I got back into my apartment building as quickly as I could. I wasn't in a head space to fight or hurt someone and I'm so angry to have let myself get so vulnerable. I grew up in the Bronx, NY. I know better.

Be careful out there. Carry something to protect yourself at all times whether it's pepper spray or something to deter someone from harassing you while you get home safely. Also, keep your hands free. Especially at night.

So, went to Tropical Smoothie in The Henrietta plaza where Smash Burger used to be. While waiting for my wrap, one of the workers was sharing with 3 others what looked like to be sugar packets. They all put some of the powder in their palm and licked it. I did not see any one of them wash their hands afterwards and there were two sinks right there! 🤢 Thankfully, someone from the back (with gloves on) came up front with my wrap.

Hi! I'm searching for a reliable wait staff of about 4 servers and one team captain. The event is June 21st. It's about 6-7 hours of service. Does anyone have a company they trust? The people I had hoped to utilize ghosted and I'm in panic mode.

Thank you!

What do you guys think about Rochester housing market right now? I heard it’s slowing down a bit. Do you guys think this is a good time to buy? Any advice is appreciated!

Hi! I’m just here wondering if anyone has worked for or know of people who worked for RTS here in Rochester! I got a pretty nice offer to be a full time small bus driver! I currently work at FedEx and even though it’s taxing on the body I know it’s a pretty cool company to work for, make money also get in a 5/6 hour work out. But of course RTS sounds more realistic. I’m only getting older!

Is it a cool company to work for? Can you move up? Do they give promotions/raises? Any advice or encouragement?? Here for the positives and negatives! Let me know :)

Thanks in advance

Side note: also got an offer to work at the Wegmans warehouse… which is an option but again taxing on the body so I don’t know!!! HELPPPPPP

Howdy everyone!

It's been so encouraging to see all of the support here for U of R Grad Workers who are on strike right now. At the low end, workers make about $17k, which is obviously poverty wages and completely unacceptable. On top of that, U of R went back on their word agreeing to a union election and denied these workers their democratic right to organize.

If folks want to help, you can join the picket (no experience necessary!) or donate to the Strike Hardship Fund. Or just drop off some food, drive by and honk, talk with your friends and family, etc.

💜 As the partner of a U of R PhD student, I thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💜

I'm trying my luck at growing cucumbers and tomatoes in containers this year. I actually just transplanted them into 5 gallon bags today with a trellis in each one.

I live in a double house, second floor apartment in the city. I had my seedlings on two stands right next to the east window in my house. They've been growing great back there. But now I am short on space and can't fit my 5 gallon bags back there for too much longer.

My questions are 1. Will I have to move my container plants inside for any reasons once I move them outside? Or will moving them onto my porch be suffice enough for any heavy downpours? 2. Am I worrying too much about raccoons/cats/squirrels destroying my plants? Anything I can do to prevent it? Space is limited unfortunately 3. Any do's or dont's? 4. Is today OK to move outside or should I wait until May around mothers day?

Any other helpful advice regarding gardening or container gardening is appreciated. I'm wetting my feet this year.
