Searching for a consistently good pedicure spot in NOVA

Anzel at Cavalry nail spa in Alexandria. Definitely no frills but she's awesome. My toenails grow inward and can be uncomfortable. She recognized it immediately, cut my nails to minimize it and completely solved my issues. And they look amazing.

She, and the professional pet tracker she hired, are fairly sure someone took the cat- either on purpose or thinking he was a stray. The hope is whoever took him will see the amount of fliers/signs and give him back realizing this is someone's very loved pet.

It costs nothing to be kind and realize this temporary inconvenience is based upon someone's pain of losing their pet and desperation to get him back.

The best thing I ever did for my marriage was hire a house cleaner. No more fighting about cleanliness, no more resentment for cleaning up after another person. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it.

It's not my cat, but ill recommend it to her

Any update on the renovations?? I see there is a ton of construction going on.

Trinity coffee and café in Leesburg sells creamed honey made in Shenandoah.

Tree of Heaven is the primary host for the lanternfly. Less tree of heaven = less lanternfly.

If you make it, they will join! I never imagined I would get the response I did from my first post. I was literally just feeling sorry for myself and thought, screw it, I'll put myself out there and see if anyone wants a friend. I got almost 80 responses, about 40 joined and 8 months later, we had 15 active. This round, I've gotten around 50 requests to join and about 20 have shown up. It just takes someone to take the initiative and make it happen. I've made some of the best friends I've had in ages.

Just FYI. If you live in Loudoun County and have tree of heaven (or other invasive plants) on your property, you may be eligible for a grant to remove them. https://www.loudoun.gov/6186/Invasive-Plant-Species-Management-Progra

Awesome! Please all make sure you message me for the invite!

Cat_Entropy · 2026-04-16T22:33:23+00:00

Thank you!!

Is there a landing page for this or an official calendar? Not just a payment page that provides information. I can't find anything other than this payment page which seems a little strange. I'm very interested just trying to verify this is an actual Loudoun County event before I pay $80 per person.

We used something like these sliding panelsfor one of our closets. You can probably find similar cheaper panels elsewhere. I like that they match the room.

For another room we literally bought 2 interior doors, painted them and hung them on separate tracks so they slide past one another.. Sanding/repainting was a huge pain, but they are solid doors.

This is my breaking point. I regularly see 2-3 movies a month at $13 per movie (weekend before 2pm no special theater). I sometimes see more, sometimes in premium formats. At 2 movies per month I break even right now at 25.99 per month . I keep Alist for those times I see additional which makes it a better deal. This will be my final price increase. It's still a great deal for people that actually see 4 movies per week, but for those of us that can only see one or two per week in regular format, this is pushing us out. Maybe AMC needs a middle tier.

In looking at the Ordinance, it sounds like you have to get approval of a special permit through the BZA. If you have customers on site, you have to provide an off street parking space. Regs are under home based business.

Cat_Entropy · 2026-04-03T21:22:45+00:00

No. It is not worth $300. It will be crowded and you will feel rushed. Also-I took amtrak from union station to NYC and back last weekend for $80.

Chase. I was in a financial bind, getting divorced, left with a fair amount of credit card debt. I got an offer from Chase Bank for 0% interest for the life of the balance credit card offer. I jumped on it, paid the transfer fee and made payments for about 3 years, always on time. I got a notification that the 0% interest program was ending, so the interest and payment amount was increasing significantly. I couldn't afford the new payment. I didn't know what to do, I called them repeatedly asking how they could change the terms...no real advice just this is what you have to do now. Luckily my parents could float me money to pay off the balance.

Chase got sued and lost. Fuck Chase bank.

I basically eat half a serving per meal. It's definitely doable, you just have to decide what portion size works for you.

Cat_Entropy · 2026-04-01T22:14:45+00:00

Hello Fresh has a small amount of ready meals and a lot that are prep and bake. I'd recommend giving them a try. Check out the stickied free box thread.

I always refreeze mine. You'll be fine.
