If I moved to Richmond or Fredericksburg, it would be so that I would rarely ever go back into NOVA again. Traffic is not my friend either, that's why I was thinking driving a longer distance but with minimal traffic would be better than the traffic I am used to in the Fairfax area. We don't go out to dinner. We are parents so night life stuff is in the past. And we aren't museum people so we are currently just kind of paying the cost of the area without really benefitting from much.

Applied to be a vendor at the carytown artisan market. I haven’t ever done a market. Used to sell on Etsy until I decided that Etsy is run by satan himself.

Money has been really tight with all of my surgeries in the last few years. I really hope I get accepted. I’m nervous.

Oh! I thought you were asking because you were looking to open it up and repair the rattle.

Old microwaves are generally as safe as new ones. Check the seal around the door as well as the front glass for damage, where radiation could leak through. If you want to be super sure and have some change to spare, you should be able to find a "microwave detector" or "microwave leak detector kit" to use.

Appreciate it I had no idea it would keep charge for so long, cool stuff!

However it isn’t broken quite yet I was just making sure that after so many years it was still safe. Didn’t know if older ones leaked more electromagnetic radiation than todays models.

on average, people dont like to lie. its an incentive numbers game with negligible impact to bottom line if they do it right. if budgeted like a kroger rewards card, profit accounts for every discount, even if you put in a fake phone number so theyre not tracking your spending profile associated with your collated id. moot point, no need to enforce, but the answer is passively and with shame most likely

Honestly I don't know. I'm (obviously) on the unlimited plan. Like most gyms, there is always some special going on. I'm like 99/month, which was some special rate.

ITs free to try, and I didn't find them high pressure at all.

I appreciate your view on this. The artist of course had permission from the home owner to do the wall, and the artist being from Switzerland of course had no idea of CAR or anything of that matter. I too have wondered about the wild inconsistency of CAR in the neighborhood and their complete lack of action against the garbage going up around the area (both literal and figurative.)

I am also curious about the building across the street that is entirely covered in ivy. I think it is beautiful, but obviously completely obscures the brick and is of course actually damaging the building itself. But its been like that as long as I can remember.

I am openly completely biased in favor of the mural and murals in general, but that is not to say that I am against rules controlling how things look and have stated as such in other posts here. Paris looks like Paris because of such rules. But paint is not a structural change and this alley is just awful. The largest proponent of this wall is the direct neighbor this piece faces, which also seems like it should count for something.

I am also annoyed because in my separate dealings with CAR over a mural I want to do they are complaining about artistic decisions of mine which simply does not seem like something they should have a say on. Approve or disapprove of a mural and leave it there, dont tell me there is too much or too little of any element or color in the design.
