3 blocks away; this happened a few months ago but I've seen the guy around the Giant more than a few times recently.

I am almost certain this is the same guy who was sleeping under my building's covered (but open) parking area. Def a short young guy, but his hair adds a few inches? He actually came across "friendly" to me but then followed me to my car asking for cash - literally hand on my door and super intimidating. I told him I'd get cash and come back and he backed off but one of the only times I've actually been scared living here.

I had this done a few years ago and it was quick and simple - I used Amazon Home Services (now just furniture-install tho) - I think if you found someone on task rabbit or angi's you'd be fine with whoever's first available/cheapest. I feel like the guy who did it judged me for hiring him for something which seemed so quick and simple, but I know I would've broken something so it was worth it.

I texted a few other fed friends and nobody seems to have gotten this notice haha

Not accurate, but I definitely turn into a grey person in the winter. Saving vacation days for winter (long beach weekends in the summer instead of a full week) and splurging on warm winter clothes that I actually like helps a bit!

Totally agree that this is an option worth considering. I would've considered it, but (and I don't know if this is the case for everyone) every time I've needed a root canal it's been sudden intense pain that I had to to schedule an emergency appointment for

My dental insurance covered 50% and that's about what I paid in my DC dentist office. For years, I went to a family friend's office in PG County...I ended up paying the same and waiting a lot longer for everything since they're a smaller office, so it doesn't seem like you're being overcharged.

I've had a few expensive issues in the past few years and would seriously consider medical tourism for anything more than a root canal.

Za'atar and Canned/Minced Garlic are the two things that are horribly misplaced/hidden at my Giant. Giant (at least some stores) does carry it.

Agree but this one is valid from today till 2am on New Years - which, as someone who refuses to be out late on NYE, is actually awesome. They used to just be 8pm-2am.

Yeah, sorry but I'd say you have to uber. Reserve it ahead of time just in case...this has worked in less dense areas where its harder to get a quick pickup - but I don't think the cold will lead to less drivers out on a busy weekend...

Appreciate it! And it looks like I'm eligible soooo looking forward to potentially getting some time back from dealing with perscriptions!

This is incredibly useful information, thank you! I'm definitely looking into that!

Oh interesting - I always get a "not eligible for delivery" note from CVS/Costco and thought that was why?

Ooh I didn't know that! Adderall is a controlled substance so can't be mailed.

I was always under the impression that pharmacies can't tell you whether or not they have it in stock - that is not true. Call around to CVSs/Walgreens and tell them your dose and they'll tell you if they have it. Not a quick process going through the "press 1 for blah blah, 2 for blah blah," but it's worth it if you can't get it filled.

Agree that it's great and hasn't impacted traffic - but whatever they did while they were building this was confusing as hell. I drive up NJ often and literally couldnt figure out what lane I was supposed to be in (there were literally lines everywhere). I hope they continue doing this, and it's all good on NJ now, but considering how careless drivers can be here - they should really find a way to fine-tune the process.

Not to hijack your post but WHERE ARE THE STRAWBERRIES?! I know they're not in season, but for the past few years I have always had them in my house year-round. I've checked a few grocery stores in DC and in MD and seems like they're just not even expected to be on shelves?

Took a half day to watch the Iran/USA game and got to our bar to find it packed with people "working from home." My resentment for people who can telework deepens.....

Check out Amazon Warehouse...it's "open box" or returned items. I got a nice fake tree for like 75 bucks a few years ago...the box had a tear in it but otherwise good as new.

My sister did this for me via a gift card. The nice thing is that the gift card works at all other Jose Andres restaurants - so I ended up using it at Jaleo (more affordable) for dinner and drinks with friends. I do kinda wish I wouldve just done bar mini tho now.

I have turned against the streeteries for two reasons. 1; So many of them haven't been used since covid restrictions were lifted, and 2; they extend way further out than a normal parked car would.

I drive down O St and Maxwell Park's outdoor area (which from what I've seen has been vacant since restrictions lifted) basically makes it a one way street. Drivers here are terrible and aggressive and these unused areas seem like a recipe for side-swiping.

I didnt have TSA Pre until a year or so ago - and ALWAYS regretted getting there too early. BWI and Dulles is the only place where I'd be worried about delays.

Hear me out - Popeye's. I got their turkey and sides for a friendsgiving - kind of as a joke - but it was the best thanksgiving dinner I remember having (sorry, mom). It's not incredibly cheap (turkey is $50 if you pick it up from the store), but it's easy & everyone raved about it.

Someone mentioned the only one here - but I'd def check out Swingers for mini golf...seems like a similar vibe if its a birthday thing. Top Golf in National Harbor is fun too but not super convenient.

2. If you're having a mole removed on anywhere visible (face/neck) or that gets stretched/rubbed (chest, in my case) go to a plastic surgeon. They take insurance - and I learned the hard way that going to a regular dermatologist can lead to scars that look much worse than an irregular pre-cancerous mole. Mole removal isn't the most complicated surgery, but a plastic surgeon knows more about minimizing scarring. Sounds like you have an existing issue - so call around and go for the first available. Any dermatologist should be able to eye something irregular and do a quick biopsy.
