You know, now that I see it, I kinda wish that was a feature and not a bug.

I've always found some really neat items at RVA Antiques just next to the CVS and the Lakeside Farmer's Market. The owners and staff are all delightful, as well!

It's in the same building (which was an old post office) as the CVS.

Not really. Given that, allegedly, the owner promptly fired that person and that the health inspector was really interested in learning more would suggest the owner was already aware of the alleged violations and is trying to skate by as long as possible.

Who knows how long those violations have been occurring or if other staff knew and aren't addressing it.

I like Hobnob like many others in and out of Lakeside, but I'm holding off on visiting them again for a while until I see a follow-up or new health inspection report.

Good tip! As an almost 41 year-old male, my body is increasingly making it clear that it’s getting tired of me feeding it capsaicin. Mild for me!

Going to the office today for a short 3-day work week (woo hoo!), then finally checking out Tulsi for dinner and doing some post-Christmas Christmas shopping for a few people.

That said, I’m not looking forward to going outside when it’s still below freezing. I’d feel better about it if it at least snowed a little during this colder snap, but all we got was dry spite and windy hijinks.

No worries! After this long weekend, I also thought it was on the verge of Dec 31st and realized we had 5 days left after I read your comment :)

Loving Kindness appears to be available until Saturday, December 31st - Sunday, January 2nd. Sounds like OP doesn't want to wait so hopefully they'll be able to accommodate them.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's a heartbreaking decision to make, but please know you're making the right decision.

I went through this with my dog last August and we used Loving Kindness Vet to come to the house, administer the drugs, and then take her for cremation. They were very compassionate, made sure we understood and were comfortable with what they were about to do, and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye before we called them over to get started. I'd really recommend them if they're available.

No, we're not going to remove the ability to vote on a post or comment. Automoderator simply flagged your comment for further review by the mod team, both of which I've approved now, because you've had little-to-no activity in this sub before.

Yes, as in your karma in this subreddit specifically is too low and was filtered for us mods to see it. I've approved both of your comments.

So you're saying we shouldn't trust your son to hold our keys?

They’re all doing great. Was worried that the house settling would cause the windows to tighten up after a season of expanding and contracting but they still feel brand new after 14 months so far.

The price would be cheaper if we didn’t get a new front door. That alone was about $1600, I think (including the door itself).

Ah, now I see what you mean.

My understanding is that VDOT is responsible for maintaining all roads across the Commonwealth, including in counties, except in Henrico and Arlington and independent cities (like Richmond) and towns.

I only recall seeing "End of VDOT Road Maintenance" (maybe in slightly different wording) when I enter Henrico County from the surrounding areas.

At least from this page on VDOT's "Report a Road Problem" page, it says (emphasis mine):

>Note: VDOT does not maintain roads in cities, towns, or in Henrico and Arlington counties, except for interstates and major primary roads.
>
>VDOT does not maintain all sidewalks, or pedestrian or bike paths. Some may be maintained by localities.

1951 house here. We had all of our original single-pane windows replaced by Window World last fall and they made a huge difference.

Before, I could stand next to windows and immediately feel hot or cold depending on the season. Now, I can put your hand right up to them and barely feel a difference in full sunlight during the summer or this morning when it was 10º.

11 windows replaced plus a brand new front door for $6,500. Took them about 3 hours from start to finish. Oh, and a lifetime warranty (as long as Window World is in business, of course). Def recommend.

The best bonus is that we can not only open the windows with one finger (when unlocked, of course) instead of wrestling with them each time and we can wash both sides from inside the house because they slide around and rotate in!

Other than that, our walls are cold at the moment, but slightly less than it was last year because we recently had Window World replace our aluminum siding with vinyl siding that includes 1" of styrofoam insulation.

I think they're saying "the only other county in the Commonwealth [that maintains their own roads] is Arlington"

Watching my 3D printer finish off my last Christmas gift while I'm downloading Elden Ring on PS5. It won GOTY from The Game Awards two weeks ago and I've been needing a new time suck while it's so cold outside.

My parents are in town for the long Christmas weekend but came down with a cold as they arrived at my sister's Wednesday evening. My husband and I are holding off on getting together in case unless we're fairly confident it's not Covid. (My mom is already feeling better today so I'd say 2 days from start to finish is very likely not Covid.)

Edit: added trailer and second sentence

Spoiler alert: it’s an article by Brian Palmer, so it’s about as partial as one can get.

Right, but when OP first posted this, the literal actual description they gave was “a man” and that’s all we knew for a few hours.

Chicki is great!!

Good advice! OP went and created a new account specifically for this.

...any description other than "a guy?"

>I just hope that everyone who has this realization that the long line voting situation at Diversity Thrift today is one that a solid swath of people have to deal with every single time they want to vote on something.

Indeed, this is why weeks-long early voting windows and giving folks ample time to go out when everyone else isn't trying to do that same exact thing is incredibly convenient.

Every early voting experience in Richmond and Henrico (and before I moved to VA, Broward County, FL) has often been me walking right up to the door, getting my ballot, voting and scanning it, and collecting my sticker in less than 10 minutes tops. No long lines, no frustration, no waiting in the sun or rain or cold.

It boggles my mind that there's a sizable subset of the electorate who believe voting should only take place on one single day and that's what's best for democracy.

That’s because the firehouse primary isn’t run by the DoE and is run by the VA Democratic Party. Here are the details you’re looking for.

Edit: the link says “tomorrow” but that’s because it was published yesterday in the style of a press release because of course that wouldn’t confuse people /s

Just your friendly greeter to say hello and check the receipts.

Read the article and let us know.
