I am watching basketball, voting, going to the gym, dropping off some flowers at my mom's place at Hollywood Cemetery. She left seven weeks ago and I miss her so much.

I’m sorry for your loss. It will get better with time. What’s helped me find comfort is talking with people about some of my favorite memories/stories of my Mom

Sorry for your loss, man. What a lovely cemetery to be interred at though. Your mom is resting peacefully.

Double grocery day. We've started doing our shopping at Aldi and it's reduced our grocery bill significantly but there's random stuff they don't have (today it's soy sauce) or what they have is no good (bubbly water) so we've gotta hit another grocery store too.

Trying to pay off some CC debt so we've been super low-key lately. Thinking about opening another card with a 0% apr promotion while we pay it off, but not sure that's a good idea.

Lidl is superior to Aldi. We always find wonderful things!

I feel like Aldi is hit or miss. I went to the in Mechanicsville and it was the worse store I ever visited. Like everything there was about to expire in a day bad.

I feel like it’s always about where the Aldi is located. When we lived in NOVA the Aldi in Woodbridge was horrible while the Aldi near my parents in Midlothian is so nice

I live near the Mechanicsville one and I try hard to avoid it. The one on Staples Mill is my favorite by far

Currently doing the credit card debt thing too. I just opened a Wells Fargo card that’s 18 months no APR and did a balance transfer. Was trying to pay off my BOA card without that but the interest made it impossible. I mean 24% WTH

Is Aldi cheaper than Kroger?

2

Jon_hamm_wallet t1_ja55ogk wrote

Our Kroger bill averaged $175, our Aldi bill averages $125. I think it's cheaper but also there's less overall product so fewer opportunities for impulse buys.

Not to get everyone down on this Sunday but there are two firms currently raising at least 100 mil between them in an effort to pay cash for single family homes priced between 275k and 450k.

For those who didn’t pay attention in Civics class, in this nomination process can you just write anyone in? Are there names on the ballots? Is there a place to find information on said names before going and casting a ballot?

Weather has all my greens popping off so I’m eating collards for days over here.

My day is lazy so I’ll post about yesterday. Did my first walk through of VMFA and holy shit what a gem. If you haven’t been in awhile do a walk through if you have some free time. My highlights were as follows:

2 pairs of Sumerian earrings, somewhere between 4000-5000 years old. Oldest man made objects I’ve seen in person. Found my new favorite painting, “The Vanity of Arms” by Jan van Kessel. I’m no artist and my art history is pretty touristy, but discovered a newfound appreciation for German expressionism (specifically Heckel). Making fun of old Renaissance era Aristocrats and how stupid they look. I found the studio contributions to be very cool as well, just reaffirming how much awesome talent is in this city.

Went to the headphone meetup yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by just how well it went. Decent group size and a diverse array of gear to try.

I haven't bought near gear in like 8 years cause I was just content with my LCD-2 cans, and I went home and spent two hours looking at electrostatics...

Is Kabutos closed again? Their phone number doesn't work, and the link on their website to make reservations is dead. If so, can anybody recommend a good hibachi restaurant?

Also, I just watched Marcel the Shell With Shoes On last night. Totally blown away with how amazing that movie was! Please watch it. And fun fact, the guy who made it is from Henrico!

West End? I will always recommend Sakura. Been there so many times and I've never gotten food poisoning. Absolutely can't say that same thing about the Kabuto's on Broad. Sakura isn't super fancy on the inside though so fair warning.

Ran out to Wegmans at O' Dark 30 to get cat food and tonic water. Pick up some things to make stuffed mushroom caps tonight. Set up two jars for spawning pink oyster mushrooms and waiting on another set of grain spawn for giant oyster mushrooms. Got a bonus pack of seeds with this one but I have no use for them.

I went to VA Union to vote. In the cold. On a dying mobility scooter. Had to drive around the entire block to find the place. Uphill on the dying scooter in the cold. Crowded as hell. I can't cope. Turned around and froze my way home. I'll have to go back later in an Uber with my walker. Hopefully, the line will be shorter later.

I had an awesome dinner at La Casita last night then saw the new Antman 🐜

I had never been there before and it’s super nice, I will be back. I have thoughts about the movie but I won’t share here, but what I will say is the whole theatre left after the first post credit scene! Entirely skipped the second. Was a bit shocked.

Today I’m trying to make it out to vote and then do chores and gather provisions until my shows come on.

The boulder is light today.
