Greetings from a fellow New Yorker, Mav!
Though... I'm from the extreme northern end of things, well up into the Adirondacks...
Whereabouts on the Island (pronounced "Lawng-Guy-land" for you non-natives

) are you from?
(I have relatives in Babylon and Massapequa).
Welcome to the best discussion boards on the net... you'll have a great time here...
