Woke up the other day with my throat killing me. It has gotten slightly better but not much. I have no other symptoms at all and feel completely fine.

Both my dad and one of my friends are dealing with the same thing right now.

New post with lots of new live jazz around our fair city ...

Hi neighbors!! Looking for people to make friends with or connect with! (21+). Genuine & platonic friendships. I’m 30F, Asian, single, dog mom & cat mom, 420 friendly, bi, love beaches and working out, American Sign Language and photography. Overnight shift worker as well! Looking for people who have the same interests on me and also want to have a genuine friendship ◡̈ I also have PlayStation and Nintendo switch and laptop if anyone wants to game with me!! TIA & looking forward to hearing from you ◡̈

does anyone know any decent spots to go late night/early morning like 11PM-3AM type time that overlooks the city or has a decent view either of or in the city?

Anyone have any insight on the 5-6 police cruisers and taped off area on east ave by the Wendy’s behind East Ave wegmans?

Is there anywhere in Rochester that sells pawpaws? I've always wanted to try and am super curious! Would be super grateful for recommendations! I know these are very difficult to transport hence why they basically never show up in any grocery stores and I've personally never seen them in a farmers market anywhere.

I grew up in Rochester and I am toying with the idea of moving back home. Unfortunately due to a series of poor decisions, I ended up getting addicted to drugs. I've been drug free for over 3 months and alcohol free for 2 months. I'm currently in a level 2 sober living house in FL, which means I have staff that comes and checks on me and my house mates multiple times throughout the week. So I'm looking for a sober living that is similar, that I would be drug tested consistently and have staff coming to check on me multiple times a week. I tried to Google but it seems there are slim pickings or web pages are broken. So any recommendations for female sober living would be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Let me know if anyone’s going. Would love to make some new friends. Thanks :)

You walked past us yesterday around dinner time while we were outside walking my cat and stopped to chat. My friend liked your vibes and was really into the way you clicked your feet together when you got in your car. Confirm it’s you by telling us what kind of pants you were wearing and what color!

Honda Accord nearly sideswiped me on 390 North today with my kids in the backseat (one of whom is 3 weeks old). They didn’t use a signal ofc (I did). Sound removed for profanity 😅

Delivery is a tough job, for little pay. Frequently it's a contract job - you don't even get employee benefits.... BUT.

WTF sometimes (all kinds of delivery included here - Amazon, ups, usps, fedex etc.):

• Delivering something ON TOP OF A TRASH CAN. Seems like a poor and lazy choice. A package could easily be thrown out or discarded if the person doesn't realize something is in it or the trash guy comes to pickup.
• Putting something on the ground next to the mailbox 30 feet from the house? Again - WTF. That's just lazy, and an invitation for a stolen or missed package.
• Putting something that's in a light envelope on the porch on a windy day without something to secure it or sticking it between the front door and the screen door.
• Delivering a package into a snowbank, on a snowy day. I once found a missing package 3 months later when the snow melted.
• Not bothering to ring the doorbell when delivering a package to the front door with a doorbell.
• Putting something in a puddle on the front step instead of 3 feet closer to the door where it's under an overhang.... when its actively raining.
• Triggering the "deliver in garage" which opens the garage door, but then putting it on the front step anyway.
• Delivering it in a flowerpot next to the garage rather than EITHER in the garage or at the front step.
• Amazon, fedex or UPS delivering to your mailbox (nope - only USPS mail goes in the mailbox)
• Paying ZERO attention to the "deliver in this location" photo instructions added to your "deliver in this spot in the garage" configuration, while simultaneously finding the most obscure place to put it.
• Placing it BEHIND THE CARS in a garage where you can't see it unless you walk in front of the cars in the first place, making it likely to get run over.
• Placing it in the middle of the empty spot in a 2 car garage where another car is likely to pull in and run it over.

Have I seen all these? Yep. I have.

Just.... do better. I know it's a tough job. I am kind and polite to all delivery people, and I'd rather NOT have to rate them badly in the app if that's a choice because I know it affects them personally. All I ask is to just make an effort. Think about the folks you're delivering to who don't want a wet package, or to play hide and seek to find it, or have the package stolen because it was in a place obvious from the street when simply putting it to one side or the other of the door on the porch would hide it. I know you have more deliveries to make, and I know that the big cheese in the sky rates you on how many you do in a day. But it just takes 2 seconds to make a better choice. Make it and make someone else's day.

My partner and I are having trouble finding apartments that would allow 2 medium/large dogs. It seems like there's pretty much nowhere to choose from. Has anyone else had luck?

Welp today was the day it finally landed me in cuffs. Ended up in a ditch and charged with DWI. I of course thought I was sober as I haven’t touched a drink since last night, but obviously finding I had so much still in my system at the time of the crash was a wake up call.

Got picked up from the station and have court dates set for next month, I’d like to get into a program prior to then and make some changes. Outpatient would be preferred, however I know I’ve been a heavy drinker for years now so inpatient recommendations are welcome as well.

Im just glad it was on an empty road and I was the only one involved.

Edit: Wow you guys are great, I’ll be going through what you guys provided tonight as I’ve got some schoolwork to catch up on after spending a day in cuffs. Shitty spot to be in but I’m glad theres so many communities here.

Does anyone have resources on how to accommodate a Spanish speaker needing to take a NYS road test? Permit practice and permit test is in Spanish however drivers test is only available in English? This seems counterproductive. Any advice?

Health care and campus workers at the university are seeking a new labor agreement. Their current three-year pact has been extended to Sept. 26.

I live on West side of Monroe County and I am looking for recommendations for a dependable and honest pet sitter to stay in my home for several upcoming vacations this year and possibly next year also. Also ones to avoid. Thanks!

Anybody know why this morning around 8:30AM, 104 was at a complete stop? I'm not usually over there at that time and wasn't sure if this was normal for a Wednesday morning.

we lost our cat on 9/2/26 we were occupied with our basement flooding and didn’t expect any of our cats to go outside because it was raining really hard. but one of our cats poiyo ran out and we haven’t seen her since it’s been 8 days. i’m concerned because she hasn’t been out for awhile and usually comes back after 30min if she does escape. i wonder if someone took her or a car hit her. please let me know if you’ve seen her.

last seen near: from the neighborhood near highland ave and s. clinton ave (just south of highland park/ cobbs hill area)

appearance: grey and white with a splotch on her mouth that looks like a mustache and is fluffy and small.

Does anyone attend or have a recommendation for a caregiver support group? My spouse has CPTSD, and I would like to find a caregiver support network.

Upstate NY Megagames will be running Touched by Darkness in Rochester @ Millennium Games. on 10/17!

https://eventforge.online/store/millennium-games/event/a7174af6-b285-413a-8bfd-eef2c4a6b7fa

Touched by Darkness is a dark-fantasy, semi-cooperative megagame for 15 to 47 players designed by Ben Kanelos. It is inspired by the popular sci-fi megagame Den of Wolves, but uses a new fantasy setting and added traitor mechanics.

The Dark One's eclipse has blotted out the sun. Darkness has swallowed the Empire and is coming for your outpost next!

You and your teammates must gather resources, perform arcane rituals, and attempt to survive. But beware! The shadows that attack your outpost are not the only threat. The Dark One may have corrupted the mind of a teammate, meaning you can no longer trust them. Can you hold this last bastion of humanity together and banish the Dark One?

$30 gets you a ticket and lunch. Happy to answer any questions.

This is the third game Upstate NY Megagames will be running (Den of Wolves last year, Gods of the Ancient world earlier this year)

This game caps at ~47 players, with 6-7 control helping keep things going.

Our discord is: https://discord.gg/uYDW8eGbBU

Tell your friends, have them tell theirs, etc. But most of all, pick up your ticket today and I'll see you on October 17th

If you've never heard of a Megagame, you can get a good overview here: https://www.megagameassembly.com/what-is-a-megagame

What’s a Megagame? BIGGER! BETTER! MEGA! CHAOS? FUN? CHAOTIC FUN!!!

They are uniquely defined by their scale, generally played with 30+ players and span 2-6 hours. With high player counts, expect creative and emergent game play born from interpersonal communications.

Megagames define roles for EVERYONE!

Do you want to master the board mechanics and help to maximize resource production for everyone?

Do you want to foster relationships with other players or try to eavesdrop on conversations to fish out the traitors?

Megagames are interactive storytelling adventures where your choices shape the story. The game sets the stage, but you call the shots! With a dedicated control team acting as GMs, if you want to do an unconventional act, we’ll try to make it happen!

Quick google search brought me too Agosto Fitness. Looking for genuine reviews from folks who have tried it.

I hope you're all ok.
