    I was a participant at their October 17 car show at St Thomas church. nice show, but what they…read morecalled "judging" left a lot to be desired, as follows... 1 No one had any idea what class they were in, or how they were classed. 2. Class categories were never explained or posted. 3. When they announced the trophies, they never announced what class that car was in. 3. We noticed that if our sheet with our car information was not taken by the "judges" that our cars weren't even looked at or considered. 4. I watched the judges. They never actually did a thorough look at any cars; exterior, interior, engine compartment, trunk , accessories etc. I did shows years ago run by Long Island Cars. Even did some judging myself. When you entered, you were told up front how you were classed & what class you were in. EVERY CAR was looked at stem to stern; so you knew good, bad or indifferent, that you were given a fair shake. To that end, those of us who weren't paid attention to or even looked at got the impression that if you weren't a member of the North Fork Cruisers Car Association, you weren't even considered & hence gave us the impression that you only "judged" only among your own members. This is the impression you gave a good number of participants. Nothing was explained. Giving that impression to a few of us that discussed these things after the trophies, don't expect those of us that are not members of your car club to be back. Conversely, the shows run by Long Island Cars, that being just an organization that runs car shows & not a "club" that people belong to, will judge everyone equally because there is no bias or favoritism for lack of a better word. So think about that gentlemen. We saw your guys running the show with clip boards just go over to certain cars & take their paper work & not even look those cars over; much less & not even look at our cars. What kind of judging is that? If this is the way your club is going to run a car show, don't expect to broaden the field of participants that don't belong to your club to want to enter. Rather, in the future, just have judged car shows among your own. In fact, you should have just had a "show & shine" because that's how you treated me & others. I would have been glad to donate the $10 for charity; or just participated as a non-judged car, because in essence, you didn't judge me & others in the first place.

    It took me just over a year to write this difficult review. My family and I unfortunately had the…read moreexperience of using Branch Funeral Home. Even though the circumstances were one of the worst anyone wants to experience Branch did the best they could do to make the experience smooth and well, quite beautiful and dignified. Aside from the sensitive and caring staff, the funeral home itself is beautiful and you don't feel like you're in a funeral home. At least not one I've ever been to. Thank you Branch

    Probably best that I spare y'all the sadnesses of this day. But I can tell you that sadness and…read moredepression isn't just a state of mind, it's far more. Foolish me, Mr. Machismo - Mr. Opinionated would tell others (thankfully not the deceased) *tell your problems to a therapist or Jesus, then go run a mile, you won't be sad after that.* Gosh what a foolish thing to say. Walking through the parking lot it started to rain again, one of those slow and musty New York rains that has a certain meanness to it that ya just can't define. And it gave the parking lot an oily greasy look to the blacktop pavement and the street beyond had an unhealthy glow. This young man, three years my junior, brought me eggplant parmesan every week because I told him how much I loved his. He did use three chesses Locatelli Romano, Parmesan and Granna Padanna, delivered hot to my door. He wrote my mother one of the most sincere Get Well letters years ago after she had sustained an injury. To kneel up upon him was about as sad as I've been in a good while, my female friend was flowing like Niagra, not a dry eye in the house, but enough of this. If cremation wasn't my choice, you can be rest assured that I'd be a handsome and proud corpse in any coffin within the walls of this beautiful funeral home, it didn't smack of sadness, the paintings, the six foot oval in wall fish tank, flowing staircases, ornate carpeting. Then to enjoy watching from above ground (maybe below, not completely sure about that just yet) my pictures being fingered and smiled at by my loved ones -- laughing and crying with my favorite music playing throughout. Lots of the Greatful Dead was strumming away with words that glow on this sad evening. My family owns a bunch of plots atop a beautiful hill with a variety of trees and they aren't thrilled of "that crazy cremation idea of yours" anyone wanna buy a grave? I'll hook you up -- but then your stuck with my family for eternity and I can assure you, that probably ain't no picnic. I am beginning to rethink this decision and it's in part due to Branch's modern touch. One wide and long room dwarfed any of the Brooklyn and Queens showing rooms, appropriate social distancing, cards to write find memories of the deceased. I filled up two which revolved around sneaking him into some clubs years ago, I was 22 he was underage and I had the best (fake) extra ID. It was the right of passage to be indoctrinated into acceptance with the older crowd and some light good 'ole boy hazing, only two are chosen and I was one when I was the young whipper snapper -- shocking, right?

    I can't begin to express how much I love TLE. Daycare is such a daunting experience for parents,…read moreand all you can hope for is that your child is taken care of. At TLE, they truly go the extra mile to not only make them feel cared for but fully loved. The staff are all so amazing, kind, attentive, and welcoming. They keep the facility very clean and well-maintained. Their curriculum is really well structured and so engaging for the kids; it truly is a "learning" experience. My daughter started going there when she was 2, and just 6 months later, she has learned SO much. I can tell she trusts her teachers, which is so important, and truly adores them (Thank you Ms. Kelsey, Ms. Fatma & Ms. Michele). She loves all the friends she's made and gets so happy to tell me about her day, show me everything she's learning, and everything she created. What went from originally dreading having to put my daughter in daycare and feeling extremely guilty about it, is now something I feel proud of and lucky that I get to bring her here, and already feel at ease in having my son join just next year. I can't thank Diane enough for everything she's doing with TLE, you can tell this place is her baby, and to all the staff and teachers for making me feel so safe, comfortable, and confident in my decision to bring my daughter there. I would recommend this facility to all parents.

    The staff is excellent and caring and sees to all our kids needs. The facility is very clean and…read morekept to the highest standards. Both of our kids have been going there for years and we wouldn't go anywhere else.

    Thanks to Happily Ever After Rescue, we met a sweet pup named Margaret (a.k.a. Margarita ). But the…read moremoment we brought her home, she traded in her cocktail name for a crown and became our little princess, Gracie Mae. From the very start, Kristie was so kind, caring, and devoted to making sure their dogs find the perfect forever homes. You can tell how much love they pour into every one of these sweet pups. Amanda and Danielle, that both fostered her were so caring and helpful with all my extra questions too! Gracie Mae has already stolen our hearts -- she gives the best kisses, loves belly rubs, and always wants to be right in the middle of the family action. She's shaken, not stirred, and now officially ruling our castle. Thanks to Happily Ever After Rescue, Margaret a.k.a Margarita became Gracie Mae -- and we truly got our happily ever after.

    Pre-Script: Search HEAR Long Island on Reddit. I wish had…read more Original Post: I'm a person living with a disability, seeking a non-service companion to join my family with my aging service dog. HEAR was aware of this via my detailed application and references. I reached out to HEAR via PetFinder very interested in a pup, Relish, who appeared to be a good match with my family. I entered the adoption process, got all of my references confirmed, completed a virtual home visit, set a meet time, and was sent additional pics and videos of Relish after the visit--all validating Relish as a potential match. It was a very hopeful and exciting moment. However, in the same text I was informed I was approved for adoption from HEAR, I was also informed Relish was just adopted, within 18 hours of my confirmed meetup. Prior to this, I was not informed I was competing for the match. Had I advance notice, I might've made other arrangements, but I wasn't offered the opportunity or the warning. I've volunteered for and dealt with more than a dozen rescue agencies in my region as an advocate and supporter, as well as several others throughout my childhood. None of the agencies I've worked with have been less transparent than HEAR. No one wants to be in the position of visualizing a potential family member in their lives, and planning for that hopeful first meeting, only to have them cancelled from the equation less than 18 hours before the meet--removed with no notice of other variables.Instead, they sent pics of other dogs. I've requested my adoption application with HEAR be closed, as I would never recommend anyone who wishes to ethically enter a relationship with a rescue rely on HEAR for the availability of the hopeful companion, or transparency in general. Reply to HEAR's response to this post: HEAR says there were delays. HEAR says I'd rather garden?? These are absolute falsehoods. The timeline below is clear. All communications and appointments were honored. May 11, Kristie confirmed my May 10 application and requested documentation of my landlord's permission to have a second dog. May 12, I submitted that documentation. May 14, Kristie apologizes for *her* delay, and informs me she'll be reaching out to my three references. All references responded the same day, after I let them know to check their "unknown numbers" folder. Friday, May 15, at 7:28pm, a virtual home visit is requested by Kristie. I was already on my farmstead for the weekend--I detailed the farmstead in my application. I let Kristie know I was upstate, and offered to FaceTime from there or when I got back home. She said she'd wait. I proposed a meet time, but Kristie said it could happen whenever, to just text her when I'm home, that she'd be "around." I texted Monday, May 18 to make arrangements. We set it for the next day, May 19. The virtual visit happened with her partner, Sam, because Kristie was unavailable when I texted. During that meeting, an appointment was made to specifically meet Relish on May 23 at the HEAR event. Prior to the arranged meet date, I inquired of its flexibility because planting became a factor--planting is absolutely critical and 100% dependent on weather and climate. Sam responded that probably wouldn't work. So, I CONFIRMED the original meet time. I very clearly confirmed my motivation and intent to meet and spend time with this specific sweet boy, Relish. Still, he was adopted out from under me. NOT ONCE was I informed there were other applicants for him. Not once were any other factors or obstacles to adopting Relish mentioned. And not once did I miss any appointments or communications. I've dealt with much more honest and ethical agencies. It's HEAR's opaque practices that might hurt their ability to adopt, not this honest review. Post-Script: Sam even mentioned she didn't want to leave Relish alone at night with her dogs, because "god forbid something happen." Apparently, that was a legitimate risk as per Reddit. It's absolutely shocking that injury to fosters is still a risk they take.
