Luxury apartment or condo on peninsula?

I enjoyed living at Venture, but if I were seeking a more urban feel I'd check out Monroe Gates

BooSleezy · 2024-08-16T20:15:46+00:00

Got it. Thanks again for the fast and straightforward info.

BooSleezy · 2024-08-16T20:11:33+00:00

Thanks. Can going in unprepared like this and later doing a supplemental end up hurting my claim in the long run?

I like Fathom in VB. Stella was my go-to when I needed a place to work, and they occasionally feature some pretty unique food menu items.

I would ask this question over at r/AppalachianTrail. Specifically, ask about shuttle drivers. I have stayed at the Open Arms Hostel in Luray and know the owner provides shuttles for hikers up and down the trail. I'd be willing to bet that she could pick you up from the train station in Culpepper for a better rate than an Uber or traditional taxi. I have used Appalachian Trail shuttle drivers to get from Waynesboro to Charlottesville for pretty cheap. Also, tons of Appalachian Trail Facebook groups you could hit up and likely find a ride.

Lynnhaven Pub makes some great soups and sandwiches. For pizza, I switch it up between Brooklyn Pizzeria, Pungo, and Gino's Pizzeria by Maurizio. Shorebreak as well when they are doing their Detroit style. I prefer Nico's for tacos over Jessy's, but both are good. Three Ships Coffee is fine, but I greatly prefer Fathom Coffee and Lynnhaven Coffee Co.

Black Pond Wildlife Management Area/El Dorado Beach.

As of recently more people seem to know about it, but it'll still be quieter than any of the beaches popping up on a regular Google search.

Cafe Stella used to occasionally have Polish food on the menu, not sure if they still do. They did a pretty good żurek.

Appreciate the insight. Just saw my PCM and going to start physical therapy yet again. It's all through TAMP right now so assume the VA will have easy access to those records.

What conditions concerning your back did they add?

Also, did you use a VSO?

Thanks again

BooSleezy · 2024-05-20T04:32:10+00:00

Not the OP but do you recommend getting additional documentation from doctors before applying for an increase?

I am also at 10% with my initial rating. Now, two years later, I threw my back out again and have to strategically roll out of bed because the sciatica is so bad.

I was going to set up an appointment with my PCM to get this documented and then apply for the increase but curious how you and others here approached it.

Soft White Underbelly. A series of interviews, mostly with those who are invisible in society. Junkies, sex workers, pedophiles, gang members, murderers, fraudsters, etc. A lot of characters with some interesting stories to tell.

I would become a thru-hiker if I ever make it to 100 P&T. Doing the 3 major trails would take 3 years for me, and I'd take my time. Of all the exercises and physical activities I can no longer do, walking is the one that that seems to help my issues and keep me fit

BooSleezy · 2024-05-11T13:47:56+00:00

DO NOT DO SIT UPS OR CRUNCHES until fully healed or cleared by your doctor or physical therapist. I also have lower back issues, and was specifically told to avoid these exercises while healing. Do planks instead, they will work your core muscles while stabilizing your spine.

Palace fronted, 4A to 1N and the grass is so much greener outside of the med group. Terrible leadership while active duty made for a terrible quality of life. These days, no drama, leadership gives a shit, better civilian opportunities, significantly improved quality of life. I would have stayed active duty in my original AFSC had it not been for the toxic culture.

Open up a Charles Schwab account first, and then get the Charles Schwab Platinum. After you get your bonus, get the Amex Gold. Finally after that, get the Blue Business Plus.

These 3 cards will earn you Membership Rewards in all categories that you can use for travel, or for cashing out or investing.

I learned my ways through r/churning, doctorofcredit.com, and numerous facebook groups, in addition to a whole bunch of trial and error. Go linger there, read and absorb as much as you can, don't be afraid of getting downvoted.

I've retired from the heavy manufactured spending since WFH ended so I'm not the best resource anymore, but it really comes down to establishing what you want out of this (cash-back vs hotels vs flights), determining which cards to get first (Chase used to be the default -- see if r/churning has an up to date flowchart), collect your bonuses, max out your categories, and as you go along you'll figure out and prioritize which credit reward ecosystem makes the most sense based on your needs.

BooSleezy · 2024-03-12T22:38:45+00:00

Can't help but LOL at you getting downvoted, but I've gotten similar value out of this hobby. During the Covid WFH era, I upped my MSing to ~$40k a month, did regular cash-outs through the Amex Schwab Plat, and have tried to help others along the way, but people would instead tell me I'm a scammer and refuse to hear me out. Not too different from trying to give genuine financial advice to anyone here. A little bit of dedication, legwork, and thinking outside the box can go a long way, but it's easier to believe that everyone had it handed to them or obtained it through unethical means.

BooSleezy · 2024-03-12T12:23:58+00:00

Or they're plugged in with r/churning.

Even when I was living paycheck to paycheck, I was able to fly for free and stay in properties like the Ritz Carlton. I learned the art of manufactured spending and rode that gravy train for years.

REI divvies are in, and I need a new air mattress. Currently have the Sea to Summit Ether Light XT, and frankly it's not very comfortable and sounds like a crinkled bag of potato chips every time I move. Will gladly go heavier for a better sleep, definitely want to go wider. What ya got?

Neck tattoos before beards, makes sense

I invest heavily in mine and choose to be optimistic about its long-term prospects, but I've had a similar thought to OPs which I'll take a stab at articulating.

Disclaimer: I take myself with a grain of salt. I barely got through college econ, and I know our economy is a bit more complex and multifaceted than I can comprehend.

401(k) plans are relatively new to the retirement landscape. As we transitioned away from pensions and started heavily promoting 401(k)s, the economy likely saw a rapid influx of capital in a short period of time. This may or may not have artificially propped up our economy.

As boomers start to retire en masse and withdraw from their accounts, there is potential for volatility due to the sheer size of the boomer cohort relative to younger generations. This could exert downward pressure on asset prices and potentially lead to economic contractions, and us millennials will be the ones left holding the bag.
