Last night was my first opera at the Met (or anywhere)

Thanks for the advice here about dress. I wore a casual outfit and I was fine. I didn’t wear jeans. There was a young man next to me who also won the lottery and he was a student in jeans and a T-shirt. The opera was La Boheme and I am very familiar with Rent so I knew the story. The sets are amazing. There was a mule and a horse and snow. All of those elements were terrific. It was long mostly because of the intermissions, which felt like they went on forever. I assume it’s because of the set changes, but I wasn’t expecting that. I wish they had started at 7, which is now common on Broadway, especially to accommodate longer shows. I didn’t get home until almost 1 AM and that is including a car for the last bit. Unlike Broadway, it was nice that I didn’t hear any cell phones or much talking in the crowd.

Going around in circles to try to reconnect the wifi (flashing blue light)

My son downloaded the app and was going to set up his own account for our robot because I'm going away when we realized - he doesn't need to. He can just sign in with my login/pw. He abandoned the new download & we thought we were fine. However, now the robot is blue with a blinking blue light at the end and I've powered off and unplugged and reset numerous times. We both show it offline on the app. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Would love some dress ideas for a June wedding

4:15 PM - 10pm, early June; upstate NY
Dress Code: Garden Cocktail Attire. Colors encouraged! I’m 5’0 and a size 12; I don’t wear heels; ceremony in the woods with gravel so suggestion is block heels, flats or wedges. Personally, I love vintage inspired dresses. I’m very fair skinned. Thanks for your suggestions.

Big Ten Network

I only have tv choice for tv viewing thru spectrum. Is BTN a channel option? If not how can I get it? I only need one game (hopefully - OSU on 9/5).

JFK to LHR via delta or transfer points to another airline?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask. I have a Delta AMEX and a regular AMEX with points and I typically transfer points to Delta for domestic flights. I’m considering a trip to London (from JFK) in December or January and priced trips at around 45,000 points on Delta. I’m wondering if it makes better sense to transfer to a different airline? I understand that I can calculate this out but I figured I would see if there was any general advice on this or if anyone has done it lately for travel during that time.

If I was fantasizing about my first solo trip abroad, would early December be a good time to visit the West End?

Haven't been overseas for a long time .. husband died 4 years ago and have only visited family domestically .. Am a NY Broadway person and think going for theater would finally get me to make what I hope would be the first of other longer trips on my own. Would love some safe, reasonably priced hotels with easy access to theater (under $300USD/nt - under $250 would be even better). Les Mis and JCS are two of my favorite shows ever and could use other suggestions. Thanks!

Creative Art Works

If anyone is looking for a job for next year -- look for this one. My son had his last SYEP experience this summer with them and it was the best one yet. They use these agencies, I believe.

  • Inwood Community Services, Inc.
  • Children's Arts & Sciences Workshop
  • Brooklyn Borough of Community Services
  • El Barrio's Operation Fightback (EBOF)

It was fun and he was never bored. They had great leadership and everything was smooth through BBCS. He has had many different experiences (from custodial, office work, & retail and his fair share of sitting around doing nothing) through SYEP and some were terrible. This one was the best.

If you can, DO NOT do anything that involves childcare or camps. He never did.

Belt or no belt

Ties in the rafia on the shoe… or is this an obvious no? I don’t have a plain black belt. Headed to matinee theater and dinner with family.

I see a lot of Broadway but have never seen a show in London

I’m a 62 yo widow and have only been to London once a long time ago. If I wanted to take a solo trip exclusively to see a bunch of shows - when is the best time to go, what shows should I prioritize and how do folks buy tix typically? I usually do lotteries here in nyc.
Thanks!

Was anyone able to transfer their SYEP MTA card to an OMNY card?

My son went to the Jay St Customer Service desk and was told they could not transfer to the OMNY card.
