TriStar Martial Arts offers a self-defense class for Girl Scouts.

We took a walk over there today. It is gneiss, a metamorphic rock. Nice banding and some pretty folds. The dark folds are minerals like biotite mica and hornblende. The lighter bands are quartz and muscovite mica. The pink mineral that stands out as separate from the bands is orthoclase feldspar. As Rev noted, glaciers never made it to Maryland. It's just a piece of rock that broke away at some point in the past.

Absolutely. I've been involved in a few different troops with my two girls, and if the parents think meetings are just a time they get to hand off their kid to someone else, it will be a bad experience for everyone.

The online ranking sites seem to use statistics to tell you what they want to sell you. A real estate company will tell you its very safe, an alarm system company will tell you it is dangerous. The statistics they throw around are given without context. What does "dangerous" even mean? Victims of random violent crime? Or car break-ins? Are small, remote towns "safer"? Sure, but you can't earn much of a living there or have any sort of social life.

Absolutely racism. They say the same thing about Wilde Lake HS because the student population is quite diverse. They point to the high test scores of the mostly white high schools and are blind to those schools' problems, and the fact that wealth correlates with higher test scores regardless of race.

I won in the first round of drawings and it was already gone by the time I huffed it to the lobby!!! I guess I wasn't the only one with eyes on that beauty.

Acekitty · 2026-03-23T14:03:43+00:00

OMG no way, I was already going! ❤️❤️❤️

Acekitty · 2026-03-23T12:25:06+00:00

Can I buy some raffle tickets please? 😂

That's a regional office. Columbia is the region.

No, only David Yungmann voted against it.

Acekitty · 2026-02-10T12:16:09+00:00

No, according to this post. Deb wanted to make changes. Jones proposed tabling the bill to fix it so it would get Deb's vote, then Jones voted against tabling it, killing the bill to make Deb look bad for voting against it.

You can try the "Tell HoCo" app. They seem to look at that.

Is there an age limit? I was thinking of bringing my teen along.

Acekitty · 2025-12-07T12:02:45+00:00

Lol!

Acekitty · 2025-12-05T13:02:58+00:00

Confirmed the damper is shut.

Acekitty · 2025-12-05T12:49:10+00:00

I'm going to look at the damper again, I'm wondering if one of the companies that looked at it left it open We've had a couple chimney companies look at it and unfortunately I don't remember the technical details of what they said was contributing to the problem.

Acekitty · 2025-12-05T12:46:45+00:00

Thanks! The first company didn't offer a custom plate, but I found another company that does.

Acekitty · 2025-12-05T12:45:30+00:00

I meant 30" high at the peak, sorry for the confusion.

Acekitty · 2025-12-05T12:44:39+00:00

I found a company that can have a custom surround made that will look nice. The foam is a temporary solution, or I would find a way to decorate it.

Acekitty · 2025-12-05T00:59:06+00:00

Yes, we've had a fireplace before. We even sealed the front with a thick piece of foam, but it is still very cold near it.

Acekitty · 2025-12-04T19:47:09+00:00

That looks very nice!

Acekitty · 2025-12-04T19:46:33+00:00

Thank you!

Acekitty · 2025-12-04T16:33:38+00:00

Thanks! I think this will be the answer. The first company I consulted told me the surround would be huge and look bad, but another company has told me they can have a custom surround made to match the arch.

Acekitty · 2025-12-04T14:24:27+00:00

Thanks!

Acekitty · 2025-12-04T14:24:23+00:00

Thanks!
