If you want tours of the White House, you need to set them up now.

There are a ton of options here for history and cool places to eat, so you'll need to be more specific.

Call a pool service and get a quote for maintenance. I’ve been told it can cost $10-20k/year. I have no idea how manageable that is to do yourself or why it’s that much. But that sounds like a lot of money on top of higher home insurance and the anxiety you may have if you have kids around the pool. Personally that wouldn’t be worth it to me.

I run my own boat business taking people out on the water.
I offer 2 types - cruises on the chesapeake bay, more of a hands on learning experience on a 30 foot sailboat thats been with me all over the US east coast! I enjoy doing this the most because I love sailing. I also offer a more mainstream product - a guided 2 hour cruise on a small open power skiff. Its geared towards locals to help them discover our wonderful river. Both have a lot of storytelling based interactions. I am adding a unguided, 'hang out on the boat' cruise this year (which is my website isn't working for booking right now). All trips are private bookings. Sorry I sound like an ad, but I am passionate about boating, sailing, cruising and my business in general and I can't help talking about it :)

They are facial recognition towers. They scan your faces and send alerts to officers of there is a wanted person in the area. Pretty useful

She’s a strong as ox.

I have 2, cats

Lol, you're welcome - I've done the solo thing too, but I prefer not being constantly broke, so roommates help!

I live alone in a studio (although it feels like a one bedroom) and pay 1525 a month on a 55kish salary and financially it can be stressful but I find it to be worth it tbh. (although I do fantasize about the money I'd save with roommates)

borat voice my wife!

Do my auditory hallucinations count? Otherwise, none.

Share a 1 bedroom apartment with a long term partner. Max was myself plus 7 others sharing a house when I was in college.

Lived in Lanham with three friends from high school right after I graduated. Then lived in a two-bedroom place for four years with one roommate. When I bought my place, I usually had two roommates and a basement tenant until I got my dog. Then I only had one roommate and a basement tenant. I think I stopped about a year before I met my husband.

Thank you for also having the experience I've had. Everyone on this thread saying they live alone was weirding me out.

I asked to go in person but couldn't get an appointment. I had to contest it by mail.
On another note, that tactic of maps and math did successfully get me out of a ticket in PA. I've only gotten 2 speeding tickets in the last 20 years, both photo tickets - and the one I got out of, but not with DC.

One and a cat

I live with my partner now but I lived in a five-person group house in Cleveland Park for six years. Rent was between 870 and 980 across that time (bigger/ better rooms were generally based on how long you’d been in the house and price was based on size)

One human, two feline

3 roommates - I think that's the maximum before it goes from "living with a few peers" to "big group house" tbh

I think you mean touché.

> not having to hear constant NPR

I feel this. Used to have NPR set as my morning alarm until I realized I hate listening to strangers talk about topics that I don't care hearing an opinion about.

my worst day doing this shit is miles better than anything else i’ve ever done

This is day four and tonight I made a pizza, bought a bottle of rose, and am watching Netflix while I relax.

Best Monday night ever.

Depends entirely on the work. Stay away from litigation and aim for securities or corporate.

When I moved after having a roommate, I took the first couple of days to just sit and soak in the pure peacefulness (ie not having to hear constant NPR/nauseatingly loud belching anywhere in the unit)

Tooshe.
