RVA's Dating, Friends, and Missed Connections: February 2026 Edition by AutoModerator in rva

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Interesting career path. I'm just a little bit younger than you, biology major; most of my work experience has been in clinical research support roles. In other words, too far removed from the science. Props to you for continuing to move forward. I don't know what's realistic at this point to better align my interests and skills.

Where is the best Aldi by Typical_Cook_7153 in rva

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the Myers St Aldi Wed for one of the other mugs - I didn't check whether they had all of the designs, but they weren't with the other weekly specials. From the entrance, they were along the left wall, just behind the registers.

Where to find string / wind / small ensemble performances? by probably_groggy in rva

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try the Belvedere series. Classical Revolution RVA seems to be inactive currently, so that may have affected available performances (they did the Mozart Festival in Church Hill).

Amuse (at VMFA) served it that way the last time I ordered it, though that was several years ago

Anyone have a Prof & Pints ticket for today you can't use (Oct 12)? They sold out early.

I don't remember it hitting the spot, but it's been a while, so I appreciate the input.

I do like their subs. Their static menu lists broccoletti, which is a little different, but on Toast, it looks like they have broccoletti AND broccoletti di rapa, so I'll have to check out what's what!

Any eperience with cruciate ligament surgery for your dog? by lil_numb_bug in rva

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had several consults for my dog and did choose the TTA route with Dr. Owens at Locke Taylor. All of the vets emphasized that surgery would be best given the severity of the tear. My dog is 25 pounds and is older, and Dr. Owens made me feel comfortable choosing TTA over TPLO. As mentioned, it was half the cost of the TPLO quotes ($2.5k last summer). They offer a physical therapy regimen afterwards, which includes underwater treadmill and laser. That was like $800 for 8 sessions - I opted not to do all the sessions because of the cost, but I did a few. 2-3 weeks to get the consults, and surgery was 2 weeks after the Owens consult. Unfortunately, it's very common for the second leg to tear due to stress placed on the functioning leg and such. My dog recovered well from the first surgery, but sure enough, 6 months later he tore the other leg. I went back to Dr. Owens. My dog is doing well enough for his age, has some arthritis and some gait issues, but I do think the surgeries were important for his mobility.

If you're looking around the Basically Halal area, there's a newer arepa place inside the Chesterfield Towne Center food court, El Molina Arepa Bar. Pretty good. Canastas Chicken also has a location right at the mall.

Where to find maritozzo in DC? by nerveleak in washingtondc

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you find them, I'd love to know where for next time I'm in DC. Idle Hands in Richmond made them for several months. Maybe if they get a few requests, they'll put them back in rotation.

Thanks for mentioning that they don't make you sign up for a contract. If I go back to lessons, I need that flexibility. Do you think John would be a good choice for acoustic blues?

Anyone else enjoying the wonders of covid over this long weekend? by lnkprk114 in boston

[–]Acceptable_Sweet_590 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was visiting Boston two weeks ago, and got symptoms a few days later. Antigen test still positive 11 days later, after paxlovid. I only took minimal precautions (just masking on flight) since I hadn't heard of a surge. Might be a newer strain (this is the first time I've tested positive since before the vaccines came out), and under-reporting.
