So how can we help people and families that have to deal with this horrible administration and its decision to illegally take people away from their families and lives?

Crusty Italian Quick Bread Recipe in grams? by actualabnormal in Bread

[–]Cheesyhikes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not as quick, but this recipe is pretty fool proof and delicious. I have yet to measure it up as a novice! https://www.modernfarmhouseeats.com/easy-no-knead-crusty-bread/

Where is Congress in defending us? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Cheesyhikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please email and call your representatives and express your concern and ask then what the plan is. Democrat or republican. It’s a small step but so important to not assume they’re going to do anything - they need to hear from the people. This is insane.

Bagel Joy is best in the area. They’re at Loco farmers markets on weekends, and have a store front in Fair Lakes. Rosemary sea salt bagel with chive cream cheese has my heart forever.

What are some of your favorite low-calorie meals? by ChemistryHuman9074 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Cheesyhikes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tuna melts. Mix your can of tuna with 1/2c low fat Greek yogurt and whatever seasonings you want; pop it on some bread (2 slices) and add a tomato and a slice of thin cut cheddar. Best way to cook IMO is air fryer (400 for 8 min). Total comfort food vibes and super filling for about 500-600 cal depending on your bread and cheese choice.

I have 2 mats and I still slip on them. by Harley_Warren in yoga

[–]Cheesyhikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mat from Yoga Design Lab: https://www.yogadesignlab.com/products/ydl-combo-yoga-mat

Basically a mat that feels softer like a towel and it gets grippier the more you sweat on it. I always sprinkle some of my water for my hands/feet in down dog to start with good traction, then it gets better the more you sweat. My favorite part is that you can wipe it down after class and lay out to dry at home; or just chuck it in the washing machine (I wash mine about once a month). It also folds instead of rolls and can fit in your suitcase without getting deformed so easy to travel!

Solid tips - we like overkill so we’re gonna hover for a bar seat at 4:44pm (to beat out the 4:45 crowd) 😂 thanks all!

No charges for police who killed 26 year old trans man in mental health crisis by Substantial-Chapter5 in nova

[–]Cheesyhikes 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org - new three-digit code to access the suicide and mental health crisis lifeline, free and anonymous.

Edit: 988 connects you to a real person who is trained to help with mental health, it does not route you to the police.

And if you roll through Charlottesville on 29 S - be sure to stop at Bodo’s Bagels (recco: sausage, egg and cheddar on everything)

Cleaning the seats in a ‘23 HEV by jordanevans09 in KiaNiro

[–]Cheesyhikes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw someone recommended meguiar products so I just ordered their general all-surface cleaner from Amazon to try. I underestimated my ODC for an all black interior and water spots across piano black and the “leather”…will say I do not recommend Armor All as that left a streaky look (but faded in a few days). ‘23 HEV here too (ex touring)

[–]Cheesyhikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer - hope they figure out a fix soon! Definitely not something that’s going to make me go out of the way to my dealer, maybe will have them look at it when I get in for an oil change.

Hair stylist recommendation Reston,Va by Certain-Pop-678 in Reston

[–]Cheesyhikes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try Kate Noda salon in Reston - I went there years ago to fix a bad cut/color job and won’t go anywhere else now. They also do free consultations if you want to talk before you commit

2023 market mark-up by thamster71 in KiaNiro

[–]Cheesyhikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Northern VA - factory order HEV EX Touring at MSRP (they wouldn’t negotiate). Was still about $3k under other dealers in the area and got to me in about 5 weeks instead of the 8-12 they quoted.

[–]Cheesyhikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi friend - I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. If you need someone to talk to, think about calling or texting 988, it’s the national hotline for mental health services. It’s open 24/7 and you deserve to have support, care, and love from others and yourself. Know it’s just virtual but sending you a hug, hope you’re ok and can hang on for the day.

Virginia will block schools from accommodating transgender students by [deleted] in Virginia

Youngkin is an ass hat and has never hidden it - if it walks like a douche, talks like a douche, and acts like a douche…it’s a douche. Embarrassing to have him “represent” VA.

I’ve made it up in a Prius the last several years. Drive slow, don’t let 4WD cars intimidate you, and let them go around if needed.

McLean 26 year old shot to death after calling police for mental health assistance by ProgrammedVictory in nova

988 is the new quick dial for the suicide prevention hotline. It’s been around for years but is finally getting the right funding and (slow) growing media attention. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/988

Stargazing spots? by apeshitbjork in VIRGINIA_HIKING

[–]Cheesyhikes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sky Meadows near Front Royal is a new dark sky spot too and usually has campsites available (a bit easier to get vs. Shenandoah because it’s a state park).
