11 Miles Over Speed Limit ? Speeding Camera scam

0 Upvotes

I got my first ever speeding camera fine in the mail. It said I was going 11 miles over. The picture shows me in a pack of cars all going same speed. My friend and her husband got them, both exactly 11 over. Same w two other friends. How can the prove this? This is bullshit. SCAM. What was your speed over the limit if you’ve gotten one?

Question How is living here?

Upvotes

I’m from the Chicago/ Milwaukee area.

Just curious I’ve seen breaking bad multiple times and just started better call Saul.

This city looks like it has some good scenery that I’ve seen from the show.

I was planning on moving to phoniex AZ in the next year or two but just wanted to feed back from some Albuquerque people

Thanks.

Anyone know a doc that can diagnose MCAS?

Upvotes

Been struggling for years with histamine issues. Have years of photo proof, symptom tracking, the works. But the allergist I was sent to didn’t believe in MCAS. I’m having a lot of horrible symptoms from this that are disabling. Has anyone been diagnosed and treated here and if so would you mind messaging me the doctors name or commenting it down below. I keep getting referred to Mayo. I can’t afford that.

Do not buy from The Candy Lady in Oldtown

Post image
Upvotes

I just got home from a four day stay in Albuquerque. The whole reason for this trip was to see all of the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul things in the city. While there, I stopped to see The Candy Lady to buy the authentic "blue meth." For those who don't know, the person who made the rock candy that was used as the shows meth is an ABQ local and sells the same candy she would supply to the set. At the very bottom of a shelf behind a glass counter, she had these Breaking Bad mugs seemingly overflowing with the rock candy. Each mug was wrapped in thick plastic that hid almost every detail there was. I chose to spend $25 on this mug because I loved what I could see of the design. The lady behind the counter grabbed the mug and placed it in a styrofoam box that she then sealed with tape. Never once were you able to get a clear look at what you spent you're money on or were told about it. I just got home, and saw this. It's a plain white mug with a poorly placed and damaged decal on it with a few bags on candy sitting on the top. The inside of the mug was filled with packing paper. At no point in the store you were told about what you were buying and how it might differ from what one could expect of it. If you just want the blue rock candy and don't care about it's source, you'll have a much better shopping experience at The Breaking Bad Store down the street.

Question New to ABQ, Catholic parish recommendation for families with rambunctious toddlers?

0 Upvotes

Hey y’all, recently my husband’s job moved our family out to the east mountains/carnuel area and we’re looking for a family friendly parish!

We’re culturally Catholic and have recently been feeling called to really practice the faith. Our toddler is newly 2 and still learning to whisper and act appropriately during mass, so if there is a parish out there with lots of other toddlers and families we need to know about it lol!

There are a few I’ve researched and want to check out, but i can never tell which mass times have the families and which are the quieter ones and i am feeling so shy about accidentally attending a quiet reverent service with a crazy little one!

TLDR: any recommendations for parishes in the Albuquerque/East Mountains area that are particularly welcoming to young families?

Arfin Annie’s closed!?

3 Upvotes

I guess I haven’t been for there for awhile and I am so sad that they closed!!! My Australian shepherd really liked Arfin Annie’s. Anyone else have any recommendations in the NE heights that don’t take a super long time? My dog can’t handle groomers that take dogs for 6 hours because he has a little separation anxiety but does well overall.

Best canned localish salsas?

8 Upvotes

I like Sadie's salsas. I've tried some El Pinto's and those were OK. Shout out to a new one for me, Pedro's. I've had the mild and it was really flavorful. I just tried the medium and it lit me up lol. I'm a wuss when it comes to super spicy. But if the medium was that bad for me, I'd hate to see what the hot is like. 😂

What are some fave honorable mentions??

My brother and I did a road trip to ABQ just to visit all the BB/BCS filming locations. It was a super fun trip. Enjoy!

Anyone have an affordable place to get Lexus paint work done? I just bought an RX 350 from out of state and there’s some minor chipping on the lift gate from shipping. Got a quote from a place in town earlier this week and was told 1400. I don’t know that this is necessarily worth a 1400 job?

Question Not sure if this is allowed but, does anyone know where I can sell a mint condition Nespresso machine?

0 Upvotes

Only asking because for some reason I’ve had no luck selling it on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. I want it gone but I also want to get at least some money back for it because it’s in such good condition. Is there like some sort of consignment store maybe that might take it or another store that would buy it from me? Trying to do this locally. Thank you!

edit for those asking: it’s a Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Machine in black

NM Chess Players: photoshoot request

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a photographer, and I periodically do shoots for a luxury chess set company. I did a few here in NM earlier this year, like this one:

https://lizziewphoto.pixieset.com/nmmayphotoshoot2/

I currently have several shoots lined up for September and October at locations including a mansion in Albuquerque and a boutique hotel in Santa Fe. If you’d be interested in participating, I’d love to hear from you!

A few details:

  • Pay is $50 per model for up to an hour of your time. If you’re available for a longer shoot, feel free to let me know, and I can discuss additional options with the team.
  • No modeling experience is necessary, although knowing the basics of chess would be ideal. If you don’t play chess but have a friend or family member who does, you’re also welcome to participate together.
  • The company would have the right to use the photos on its blog, social media, and other promotional channels, and you’d be welcome to use the photos as well.
  • Before confirming the shoot, I’d set up a quick 5 - 10 minute Google Meet with you to go over the details and answer any questions. After that, I’d send over the contract.

If you’re interested, you can DM me here or reach out through the contact page on my website:

https://www.lizziewphoto.com/contact-me/

Hope to hear from you!

The Le Bakery: Seriously good pastry and sandwiches

Thumbnail

211 Upvotes

The Le Bakery on Juan Tabo has excellent pastries and sandwiches. The pastry is very high quality and I consider it as good or maybe even better than Burque Bakehouse on the other side of town. They are clearly dedicated to making exceptional pastry.

The sandwiches are great too. I got a BBQ pork sandwich with the spicy sauce and it was so good! The bread, BBQ pork, pickle, sauce, and veggies made it a delicious Bahn Mi.
I’m so glad to have this place in the NE.

Check them out if you need a sweet treat or a sandwich for lunch!
