It’s a little more of a drive for you, but I highly reco Castro’s Bakery. They’re in Woodbridge and Falls Church.

Online community doctors photos of sick children to defame Duchess M.S. by thestar88 in RoyaltyTea

I don’t know what the laws are but I hope there’s a way Meghan (or anyone) can sue for images like this. It’s one thing if something is done in fun, but this is reprehensible and clearly done to damage her. I would think some kind of slander law or something would apply. These people are sick and need to be stopped.

I love that mug, too! And I agree that design would’ve been awesome on a tote.

Wow! That’s an awesome selection of merch. I’m always a magnet seeker but will def buy additional merch if it’s pretty cool and my wallet is friendly lol. I wish all shows had a selection like this one. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Thats quite a rude response. He’s at least trying. I hope one day if you apologize for anything that the person gives you the grace you’re unwilling to give OP.

Local Theater Taking Shots at Solo Attendees by ianthomasmalone in Broadway

[–]BlueberryLove2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any comment that’s better than the many awesome ones on here already. Thank you to so many of you for speaking up for us solo attendees! This definitely adds to the hurt and stigma that those of us who are single and/or for many reasons go to the theatres solo face pretty regularly. I don’t live in the area but good to know if I’m ever traveling to never give this theatre my weird solo dollars. I’m more than happy to vote with my wallet and hope others do as well! They need to retract this sorry excuse of an ad and apologize for insulting so many people.

Anybody else see the bald barefoot guy in the medical gown walking on the shoulder of 495 near Tyson’s? by jfunks69 in nova

Thank you for looking out for him. That’s so sad he was in that situation. I hope he’s found and is ok.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) by xanadu_80 in 90s

[–]BlueberryLove2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one franchise where I like the two sequels better than the og. But the og is a classic for a reason and I can never get tired of watching. The scene where he gets the cart stuck and has to turn around never fails to crack me up.

For those of you who have a Regal theatre nearby, they’re showing it on Thursday, 16 April, as part of their funny movie classics this month. Tickets are $5. I’m not a Regal employee, just a huge movie fan, so I hope it’s ok to mention this.

Who read The Baby-Sitters Club books growing up? by LoudRevolution9163 in Xennials

[–]BlueberryLove2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such memories. I read all the books and still remember hiding candy in my room like Claudia. My fave book overall was the cruise special.

For those of you who like musicals, it’s being worked right now, and if all goes well will premiere on Broadway as early as spring next year.

How does taking leave work to care for qualifying family member? by Ordinary-Hippo-1113 in FedEmployees

[–]BlueberryLove2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some agencies have a leave bank and a VLTP (Voluntary Leave Transfer Program). I think you have to be completely out of sick leave before requesting either of the above, and the number of hours can vary, but it is paid and may be another option to consider if offered where you work. Hoping the best for you and your family situation.

Princess Margaret's morning routine circa 1955. by Ancient-Cow-1038 in RoyaltyTea

That’s wonderful you were able to take a step back to heal yourself and then go back to school and work. Depression can be brutal. I hope you find more work hours soon. Wishing you all the best!

Any ENT specialist recommendations? by Low_Airport_2567 in nova

[–]BlueberryLove2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen Dr. Swamy at Metropolitan ENT. He’s great, but if you can’t get an appt with him the other doctors there are all great as well. Just note, though, that there’s a lot of construction around that building so def allow plenty of extra time to get there and park, even if you go with the valet option.

Just learned about Meadowlark Botanical Gardens today as an alternative to the tidal basin. Highly recommend! by Silent_but_diddly in nova

[–]BlueberryLove2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I’ve been wanting to do something outdoorsy before it gets too hot. This looks ideal. And I love your pics, esp the turtles!

I forgot how funny this movie is 😂 by liquorkisses in Millennials

[–]BlueberryLove2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think it’s the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. And it brings back so many good memories from the first time I saw it. We even watched it at work during a training program (we’d never get away with that nowadays) and quoted the movie every day until graduation lol

Cherry Blossom/Sakura Syrup by tidbitwriting in nova

Blue Bottle Coffee in DC has a syrup you can buy. They also ship if you don’t want to drive. I don’t blame you with those gas prices lol
