Early career Postpartum doula nyc
So I had a premature baby 2 weeks ago and we need help. The agencies are overwhelming. Do you have any suggestions for finding a postpartum doula with near immediate availability? Tips on how to navigate the agencies? I thought I had more time to figure this out.

Where in Manhattan or along the N/R/W can I go in person to buy a power adapter that ALSO does voltage conversion for US (which all my electronics are) to Israel/Palestine (where I will be…very soon)?

Bathtub. More like Bath-ugh
You have a concrete floor and a rear outlet/wall outlet plumbing situation. You put a new 66” long cast iron bathtub in the bathroom without digging out part of the floor for the drain.
What bathtub did you get?

Need a new kitchen scale
I’m in the market for a new kitchen scale that I need to be both precise and accurate to about 1/10 of a gram for cooking and some yarn stuff. I don’t need it to be pretty. Please recommend me a scale that you use and like.

Hot dog buns, I want to use them
What non sausage foods do YOU put on hot dog buns?
What is this kind of bathroom called
Trying to find tile ideas for a bathroom. But I’m limited in my search ability by what I think is a lack of terminology. I hope that if I describe the bathroom, someone can tell me what I need to be looking for. (Just searching for “small bathrooms” isn’t doing it, I think because much of the US has a different idea of “small” than I do.)
NYC Custom Cabinets
If you are in Manhattan and wanted to get cabinets/vanity* made for less than $1,000 a linear foot (that’s right, $1,000 including insurance and installation), who would you turn to and what would you expect to pay?
Socks like these socks
My partner had ankle surgery a year ago and LOVES the socks he was given in the hospital. These socks have no grippiness on the bottom, and they are not compression socks. They are just knee high, fairly thin, white knitted cotton socks with no elastic band at the top.
He wants more. How do I procure them?
Maintaining executive function in pregnancy
Do you know of any prescribers in NYC who write prescriptions for Strattera/Atomoxetine to pregnant people? Alternatively, do you know of any studies that exist for pregnant people taking atomoxetine to provide data for future people who depend on this medication to maintain and control my focus?
Peering into the darkness (of the curtains)
Please help me find the right terms to search for a way to cover one window that meets a wall in a corner, without letting light in along the corner side. Or maybe even just link me to a product I can buy.
Not my puppy.
I need resources for training someone else’s dog from scratch. My next door neighbor has a puppy. And covid-19. I will be walking the puppy (4 or so months old). Puppy only does toileting outdoors, otherwise has not been trained beyond ‘sit’ and ‘lie down.’ Puppy pulls the leash and wants to jump on people.
I would post a photo but it’s not my dog and also he’s pretty distinctive.
Bitten in a hotel bed overnight
I just woke up in my hotel bed covered in what appear to be bug bites. Red, itchy, pretty small (1-2cm across). Some on my back, wrist, chest. What do I do?
Back to sleep
You sleep on your back. You love your pillow. What is your pillow? Why do you love it?
Emptied the documents folder. Hope me.
On my Mac, I did something with my iCloud a few weeks ago. It hid my Documents folder in a way that I thought I figured out. Discovered a few days ago that I didn't actually fix it. Now the folder is not in my iCloud, and also not in any intuitive place I've looked on the Mac. Can you walk me through finding it?
Dental pain!
I am having extremely distracting dental pain. Please help me solidify or change my plan.
Leather jacket in Italy
At what store would or did you buy a ladies leather jacket in Milan or Florence, Italy, for under $500USD? How has the jacket held up if you did buy one?
Gym class for one
I’m looking for something like guided meditation, but for gentle weights lifting. I (mostly) love BodyPump. It doesn’t always work with my schedule. Please do not suggest a book. I own Starting Weight and got others from the library. I believe people who say books are great for them, I do not want a book. I’m also not here for any criticism of BodyPump or my goals. Absolutely no suggestions like ‘have you tried swimming?’ This is the exercise I’m going to do and it’s better than no exercise.
I miss donating platelets
What, if anything more can be done to help make the veins in my arms bigger and stronger? I ask because the machines used in my area for platelet donation have changed from a two arm system to a one arm system.

Ice cream emergency
Was supposed to make ice cream today with a friend. I’m in charge of bringing the machine and she has already made the custard.

Tonsillectomy, not a gorey question
What helped you in the early recovery from your adult tonsillectomy? Specifically, wow this intermittent earache and general anesthesia induced sadness are driving me bonkers but all suggestions will be sleepily entertained.

Finding a family medicine doc GP in NYC
I’ve gone at this backwards, but after seeing several specialists to deal with health stuff, I realize I should probably have one provider in NYC who keeps track of all of my stuff.
NYC ACA signup
In NYC, need to sign up for ACA Insurance plan today. I’m out of spoons (tired, pain, anxious, ashamed). The library I was going to go to (thompkins square park branch) doesn’t have someone coming in today (when I called this morning at 11 they said the person would be in at 2, that person is unable to go in today). I’m locked out of the online portal. Who should I go see?
Traveling internationally with a cooking knife.
Is a cooking knife in checked luggage a problem going into or out of China? From Tokyo. With a US citizen.
Help me find an NYC Therapist
Please help me choose some NYC therapists to visit. This person takes Aetna, has a trauma informed approach, goes a bit further than DBT skills can take me, and understands that ADHD is different in women than in men. Perhaps someone with a proficiency in Bessel Van der Kolk’s work, as I’m also not dealing well with some complicated grief that’s associated with really fucked up childhood attachment stuff. No triggers in the rest of the ask.
Dermatologist in NYC
Please help me choose a dermatologist in NYC. This dermatologist will accept Aetna, be near the N/R in brooklyn or Manhattan, and won’t shame me for having all these unattended moles and this other thing on my head.
ENT in NYC
I need an NYC ENT with a friendly staff and not horrific scheduling/availability (NP or PA is fine with me!) that takes Aetna. Bay Ridge or Brooklyn/Manhattan on the N/R line preferably below 59 Street/Columbus Circle. Bonus points if you saw them for nosebleeds. My chronic nosebleeds have returned to being two or three times a day and I’m currently having my second nosebleed of the morning.
Cheapest place to get a Neti pot in NYC tonight?
I have an unlimited metro card, time, the beginnings of a cold, and not much money. What is the cheapest place I can pick up a Neti pot (plastic or ceramic is fine, the squeeze bottle is not ok) and maybe even the fine salt?
My IUD has never really felt right. Help me proceed?
I got an IUD back in April. It hurts all the time. I'm going to make an appointment to have it looked at this week. What do I say when I'm there so that they take me seriously/what can I expect them to do to investigate without them just taking it out? It seems to be my best bet for long term birth control given my tolerance for hormones.
A question about pickling okra
I have 72 ounces of okra with the stems ends entirely removed. All the photos of pickled okra that I can find just have the stem removed. What will this do to the okra when it's pickled and water bath canned? I don't want to can 12 jars of this stuff if it's going to be slimy. I know that pickling mitigates the slime, but of course, these okra are overtrimmed.
Tribeca Tailor?
I have been tasked with finding a tailor in or very near to Tribeca in New York City. They ideally are open at 7:00am or open until 7:00pm. And this tailor can take in the waist of a pair of pants without making one of the rear pockets off center to the seam. Chinatown is fine as long as it's west of the Canal street 456/NQR station. Other Manhattan neighborhoods considered if the work is really spectacular and inexpensive.
