Maybe you could find a place in NoVa that is in-person once per week?

Which half? I hate dealing with kids coming into my job.

what does the pricing look like? I've been interested in doing once or twice a week. plus it's low impact on the knees and a good ab work too.

how would they enforce that?

so glad my office never went remote. customer visits are finally getting back to normal too.

It’s not mind blowing, but I think Nicolas Cage gave a great performance in Pig. Definitely a movie meditating on grief.

My great aunt passed away today from frontal lobe dementia- my mother called me this morning while I was at my office and I proceeded to called me grandmother to tell her I am so sorry for the loss of her sister…. No one had told her yet and I was the one to break the news to her.

My boss came to my office and told me to take the day and relax. Was not expecting that so I’m home in my pajamas.

I can totally see that! To me, The Invitation felt a little campy and maybe more shocking, but that could just be due to me having not watched it in awhile.

I’m on the Jackson Ward board reviewing and discussing this.

Before anyone rips my toe nails off: a lot of us are in a really difficult situation.

A lot of sides (there are more than just two) did not follow the proper steps while some are not consistent.

Let me just give an example: if the homeowner asked CAR for this mural he would have been denied. End of story. Then if he painted it then he would have been in big trouble. A much bigger headache than (s)he already has.

Another scenario is homeowner just went ahead and painted and didn’t ask for permission - this is what happened from what I am aware of. Now homeowner has a CAR problem.

Now, who is wrong? Well, just from that perspective one could say homeowner is wrong here…. BUT CAR hasn’t really been consistent. There have been other things that went up in JW that didn’t have CAR approval (and would have been 100% denied) but bc it already happened everyone just said “oh well” and moved on - that’s bc nobody complained (mainly).

There are also stories of residents spending $15k on windows and being forced to remove them bc it’s not in line with CAR.

Along with CAR not being consistent, I think we need CAR to get more realistic. They aren’t doing anything about graffiti to help an aging (and gentrifying of the poor) neighborhood but are going after a mural that covered up graffiti? Try removing graffiti off your brick and you will be hating your life AND they’ll just come back and do it again - it’s a quick crime that is such a headache.

CAR needs to come to 2023 age. Not allowing solar panels and murals and whatnot is silly.

I think this mural is doing a great job questioning wtf CAR is for and what they are doing with their standards. We can’t have a free-for-all in a historic area but we need flexibility. Homeowner should have asked permission but he would have just hit a wall - but that still pissed CAR off and from their point of view rightfully so - if they let him go then others will do it so they need to AT LEAST be a massive headache for him publicly even if they let him keep it.

Again, I’m in these meetings and I have some influence but it’s a very very tricky problem… lots of gray areas.

Im very much leaning on letting it stay and use this as an opportunity for conversation on modernizing CAR a bit. Very tricky.

I’ve been forced to replace my entire fence and porch bc of rot while my neighbors porch was in worse condition and there were abandoned homes down the street. It’s simply not fair that the policy seems to be “if someone complains then we do something about it” while they don’t enforce severe circumstances.

The thing to be aware of is the capacitor, which stores electrical charge even after you unplug it. Depending on a number of factors this charge can stay present for days after unplugging your microwave.

Research how to manually discharge the capacitor of your model microwave (if it's even possible with your older model) and do this as soon as you're able to, and then do it again for good measure before you start your work in earnest.

It's electricity and it can hurt you, know the risks, etc. etc.

Bruh... can you Xpost this to /r/thathappened ?

Good luck!!!

Back at work, but I’m off tomorrow for my late father’s birthday (I get too sad throughout the day).

I’ve been slowly getting back into running after having to take roughly 8 months off due to health issues but this gloomy day means I’ll likely opt for the gym this evening instead.

Lol. They should sell it again. I've shown the image to some people & they have asked where to buy it...

Yes willow lawn - yeah it’s not technically competitive but I do feel myself rowing harder to beat the time at the top of the screen! I’m probably going to sign up for once a week. Luckily my work has a discount program which makes it more manageable . I think it will be good to have a structured exercise day - even if it’s just once a week. Checking out the 7pm class tonight & I’ve heard the instructors floor work is next level . I think the classes also go by pretty quickly which is important for me.

I work for Chesterfield schools and today is a half day for the students. The rest of the day is dedicated to getting third grading period grades in the book. So a mostly quiet day.

We’ve got a lot more road closures today. As per usual, the City of Richmond is doing an “excellent” job of directing traffic and informing the public of its plans.

I’m really hoping it doesn’t get to that point.

Everyone likes different things when it comes to movies, but I would say that I much preferred the 2015 The Invitation over the menu if dinner events gone awry is a preferred plot line. I just didnt enjoy the menu at all.

It is true legally.

Also, you're not really describing the situation I was talking about. And your friend wasn't too smart for jumping on a moving vehicle. That driver was a dumbass if he didn't stop.

I got an underage drinking citation while this played in the background when I was 18. Goooood times.

I have very, very little tolerance for traffic and have family midway between FXBG and Richmond. I would never make that commute.

Honestly, move to Fredericksburg. You’ll have access to more things via NOVA than in Richmond.

I once parked in a designated spot behind the old Avalon in the Fan. Was on the grass (that wasn’t being used for any reason and served no purpose) like a half foot and was still towed.

Never went back there again and I do my best to make any tow truck drivers life a living hell. Sorry- you want to be petty over a technicality? I’ll be fucking petty in return. As luck would have it, as I was calling the tow company for info on where to retrieve my vehicle from, turns out the driver dropped his phone. LOADED WITH all kinds of contacts and pertinent business info.

What a shame that the phone went missing. 😂I didn’t take it, but I know where one of my friends threw it. It cost me $125, but I know that dude paid a much steeper price. To this day, it warms my petty little heart ❤️
