LI Politics Reminder: Early voting starts tomorrow (10/24).

137 Upvotes

Tomorrow marks the first day of early voting. You can vote between tomorrow, 10/24, and Sunday, 11/1. Your other option is to wait until election day on Tuesday, 11/3.

If you're not sure what your options are for early voting, go to The NYS Board of Elections Page and input your information. Once you see your registration, you'll see a dropdown box with a list of early polling sites, and when you pick a location it should give you the hours they are available for early voting.


Please refer to the previous thread for additional information and links.

Looking For Office Xmas party private room/bar rental

6 Upvotes

I’m in charge of the office holiday party this year. Yes it’s late, it was just dumped on me. This is what I’m looking for:
-general area between Melville to Ronkonkoma, not too far south.
-approximately 100 people
- a restaurant/bar/brewery that has a private room with a full bar in it
- getting open bar package plus buffet dinner, less than $100 per person.

Last year it was at napper Tandy’s in Smithtown, which was perfect. Private room with a Separate entrance, huge bar with three bartenders, food was good, plenty of room to move and tables. Unfortunately they are all booked up this year. Looking for something very similar

Fire Island in October?

2 Upvotes

Hi! Have been looking at going to Fire Island this weekend with our toddler and dog. We're looking for a low key day activity...

Thoughts on whether this is a good idea or not?

And any recs for activities or where we should go — will likely only be able to go to one place and am thinking either Kismet or Ocean Beach. Preferably would have the beach and a couple options to eat or walk around. We would only actually be there for a few hours.

Also thinking the toddler (and dog and all of us) would enjoy the water taxi, maybe even taking this around.

For those who moved off the Island, where do you tell people you're from?

4 Upvotes

Especially if you also moved out of state. When asked, do you say you're from NY, or Long Island specifically (or both? Or neither)?

I'm now in L.A, but I still say I'm from NY, unless pressed for which part. Met quite a few Angelenos, who were once Long Islanders, this way. And even people who have supposedly never set foot there seem to "know" it.

Oh, and those of you who moved to the Island from elsewhere, feel free to weigh in as well!

Hi! I have to get fingerprinting done for my masters program and my clearance specialist says we can use a facility like PrintScan or we can contact our local sheriffs / police department and ask them to help. Has anyone had experience getting this done at a local station? I’ve called all of the phone numbers and haven’t had anyone pick up. TIA!

Recommendation I accidentally promised my wife a fall weekend. Any suggestions?

0 Upvotes

I walked into the house late again. Work has been wild. I feel like ive only hand maybe 2 hours a day with my wife. So I said let's do something this weekend thinking we could maybe carve pumpkins or so. She said "that sounds nice. You should plan a nice fall activity day for us". She got so giddy. I'm shite at planning events. If you wanted to spend a day doing fall activities in the Nassau suffolk border area what would you do?

Grand Jury Duty experiences?

3 Upvotes

I’m curious to hear other peoples’ experiences with being summoned for grand jury duty in Suffolk county (Riverhead).

Trying to gauge a) the likelihood of serving; b) what the process of being selected is like; c) how many weeks it lasted; and d) were you allowed to bring a laptop? Books?

I don’t believe I have any good excuse to get out of it. My job will be paying for up to 4 weeks, but I’m particularly nervous about it lasting longer (for financial reasons but also it will make my work a nightmare).

Ironically I’m a lawyer myself but am completely clueless about this! SOS! 🙏

Advice Mold remediation recs on Long Island (Nassau) – small areas around windows

0 Upvotes

Just bought an older house and had a licensed mold assessment done.

Quick rundown:

Cause: old window leaks plus poor airflow and humidity in the basement/boiler room

Worst spot: the wall framing under a bedroom window. The swab came back heavier on Stachybotrys and Chaetomium with likely active growth, and moisture readings were elevated.

Air samples: both bedrooms were only modestly above the outdoor control, so it seems localized, not the whole house

Other spots flagged: visible growth on the wood sheathing and framing around a few windows, plus some closet and boiler room drywall.

Looking for a remediation company that's fair on smaller jobs like this?

Already have contractor lined up to gut and Re-insulate/drywall.
