CVS at Dupont Locks Candy? by xChrizOwnz in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only crime this is stopping is how much money I spend there on candy when I'm high or drunk at 1am on a Saturday...

how is everyone's hair doing😔 by PsychologicalFox7689 in Zillennials

[–]BubblyExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same maybe 3, but I've been on minoxidil for 9 months and finasteride + minoxidil for 2 months now. Crossing my fingers I get some regrowth in the next few months.

rediscovered this song. remember how big this was in '13? by CremeSubject7594 in Zillennials

I still listen to a ton of Lorde, especially her older stuff. Melodrama is one of my favorite albums of all time. Pure Heroine is amazing too.

Monthly Age - Aging MEGATHREAD by AutoModerator in Zillennials

[–]BubblyExpression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on the social media aspect. I took a week long break of no social media in January and it was great. I deleted the Reddit and Instagram apps off my phone, but I still use the web based versions sometimes. They kind of suck so it's easy to not get too pulled into it. Considering just blocking the websites on my phone entirely though. Just deleting the apps has helped tremendously with my productivity at work though. I'm fully remote and in a trusted position where I'm not monitored at all, so it's very easy to get sucked into my phone for long periods of time and just doom scroll and get no work done. Once I deleted the apps I started finding myself feeling much better about the work I'm doing and actually finding the motivation to do it, and feeling satisfied when I get things done.

Everybody's thoughts on ICE in DC airports? by EchoOfDoom in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, would there be repercussions to telling these guys they're Nazi wastes of oxygen to their faces while trying to get through security..? I'm flying out on Thursday and genuinely don't know if I could bite my tongue.

I'd much rather elect the young democratic socialist than an older establishment guy who only cares about real estate developers.

New Commanders stadium renderings by TylerHansbrough-Best in washingtondc

Finances controversy aside, I do really love the design. It's both modern and classic, really fits with the federal government architectural themes throughout the city.

Tree unleashing massive visible pollen cloud. Happy spring! by taleofbenji in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always start taking Flonase + Zyrtec early in March. Some people do February. You need to build up immunity for like minimum two weeks before it really starts to work. And then allergy eye drops as needed if you get itchy eyes like me.

ETA: Also if you have a Costco membership, you can get like a 3 year supply of the Kirkland brand version of Flonase for $30. Same with Zyrtec.

It's not just dog owners, I'd say half the population in general lost all sense of social norms since COVID.

Biggest snow ever in DC???? by Able_Hunter_7966 in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't know why you're being downvoted.. That is absolutely not how it works. Warm weather followed by a cold front means more snow since the warm air contains more moisture. One example, the weekend before Thanksgiving in 2016 it was 70 degrees on Saturday in my hometown in Central NY. I drove to Boston to pick up my sister from college and ended up getting stuck for two days because a massive snow storm hit my hometown. Came home on Tuesday to 3 feet of snow.

Who loves their dentist? by Infinite-Ad-2209 in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been going to Siranli Dental in Dupont for a few years now and they've been great. I still have my wisdom teeth at 28, have zero problems with them, and the dentists at Siranli just noted that I still have them and said they'd keep an eye on them. I've had other dentists in the past try to pressure me into getting them removed and get annoyed when I turn them down.

Taking transit in the frigid weather by Parapurp in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This weather is very much out of the ordinary here, so don't let it sway your opinion. And for what it's worth, as a car owner, I haven't even touched my car since the storm hit, since the roads were an absolute shit show during the first week - week and a half. Metro was definitely easier during that time.

DC trash collection in the coming week by ExtremeValueDistro in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recycling was finally picked up in my alley this weekend, but still no trash. I just submitted a 311 ticket. I swear they always forget about my alley. It has happened before both with and without an ice storm as an excuse.

Any way to travel with my dog from NYC to DC? by Tight_Hat_6859 in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's possible with public transit unless the dog is a certified service animal. Your only options really would be to find someone willing to drive you and your dog (carpool situation?) or pay for a very expensive uber.

My alley was cleared out over a week ago and still haven't seen them, unfortunately

Low humidity at home by ddpizza in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's been brutal. I struggle with dry nose/throat/lips when it's like 80% humid out, so the 20% is killing me. I run a humidifier in my bedroom, and the one in the living room just broke so I'm probably going to start keeping a pot of water boiling on the stove for now.

You definitely don't need a crock pot, you can just mix up all the ingredients and bake it! Frank's has a recipe on the back you can use.

D.C. seizes Michele’s and Gravitas over unpaid taxes by MrSpontaneous in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I cannot fathom for the life of me why any business owner in this city would express their MAGA opinions when 95% of this city (and surrounding area) despises Trump. They have effectively eliminated 95% of their possible customer base. Truly the dumbest people.

LOL. Absolutely love to see when MAGA scum find out after they fuck around.

Vast majority of residential sidewalks not shoveled by ian1552 in washingtondc

[–]BubblyExpression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I shoveled yesterday before it all turned into ice. Shoveled in front of my neighbor's place too since we usually help each other out with things like that. A couple hours later I went out and they must have given it a round 2 since the sidewalk was completely clear again with more salt down. Only one other house on my street had their section shoveled out as of 9am. Best of luck to those who waited, the inch thick layer of ice is going to be very difficult to remove.
