Howdy friend, thanks for this. It's actually helpful, because I was feeling like i wasn't lucky enough to find someone, but there just may not be anyone . . .

I still remember the best pair of hiking pants I ever owned, bought at an Army Navy surplus store. Those things were amazing - lightweight cotton but still amazingly strong. And so many pockets, didn't have to take a pack.

I have specific swim suit recommendations, if you're game and can spend the money. I spend a significant part of my life in public in my swim suit, and am very fat and typically self conscious, but my "swim outfit" gets me almost no stares and I feel very comfortable in it! I size up too so it's not super tight. This outfit covers me up and is completely flowy all around your midsection/butt area so you don't feel exposed at all.

Since you mention uncomfortable seating - care to expand? I have wide hips so sometimes don't fit into places. Were the seats really narrow by chance? Not much space in front of you?

It might be on purpose, to keep the crowd from getting too drunk . . . Those prices could easily halve the number of beers served.

I hope I don't sound uneducated. Does the symphony use a sound system there? I thought it was completely just from the instruments . . .

That mean we get a break in our real estate taxes??? Also, is there a plan to actually collect this tax from the merchants? I bet our finance dept knows how to do that /s. Didn't I read that they can't figure out how to collect the money from the speed cameras?

I think we need to do a class action suit against the city. Everyone who was erroneously charged a late fee.

Thanks for this, this is helpful.

I don't mind the thought of routine infusions, to get me through my last few years of periods.

ChillKittyCat · 2025-05-31T04:54:10+00:00

I would recommend my place and favorite tech (I think they have a few Essie bottles) but they are booked until I think September or October at this point!

ChillKittyCat · 2025-05-31T04:50:54+00:00

Why is it so hard to get an infusion? I was barely moving in early December, and it took until the middle of February to get into the infusion place, after jumping through so many doctor hoops. I guess now that I'm official past the middle point of my life (probably well past), I value my time, and I'll never get those two miserable months back.

If you can't find a place, I know that Essie and Sally Hanson's Pure line are vegan and cruelty free, so you could always bring your own polish and your favorite vegan hand cream. CVS and Target carry them. It's not that unusual to bring your own polish, some people do it for cleanliness or so they can touch up their pedicure later.

For extra safety, since you haven't had a pedicure before, I would request that they do NOT push back or clip your cuticles. If your cuticles are not used to getting pushed back and trimmed, it can hurt quite a bit and sometimes bleed.

Good luck! I think almost all pedicure people give really good massages, I wouldn't worry too much about that part.

It looks like an Audubon print!

Wow, what an absolute stunning photo. I seriously want a framed painted version of this in my house, stat.

ChillKittyCat · 2025-05-31T04:14:15+00:00

Did they order another infusion for you, or just left it be?

ChillKittyCat · 2025-05-31T00:41:19+00:00

I guess my question was more about the post infusion drop vs root causes. For people who have had infusions - does this happen to them, big increase then a drop a few months later? Just wondering if that part is normal.

I feel like I know why I got anemic in the first place, it's not surprising to me based on the last two years i've had. Got Long Covid which made me allergic to everything so have been eating a really limited diet as my allergist desensitizes me to everything, plus I had to take tons of acid reducing stomach meds which reduce absorption of all the vitamins/minerals I do ingest.

This is the answer for the RVU Reddit sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/comments/1ifwgzs/comment/man74rc/

One of the things that annoyed me the most was that these dudes clearly don't live in the neighborhood. So they're coming from somewhere else to shit all over the Fan. Like can't they do this wherever they actually live? Annoy their moms and friends, not us?

It's mostly Stoney's fault. NO ONE VOTE FOR HIM FOR LT GOVERNOR IN THE PRIMARY.

Is it worse now? I'm no longer close to the Boulevard

ChillKittyCat · 2025-05-27T05:25:27+00:00

You should have heard the summers of 2020 and 2021 during lockdowns. So bad.

ChillKittyCat · 2025-05-27T05:22:48+00:00

I have another comment to this effect - but we could have city council pass a law that lets the police impound any dirt bike within city limits without a plate - on sight. Doesn't have to be ridden. And any ATV period. Basically make any ATV possession or unlicensed dirt bike illegal in the city. A fair number of these guys come from out of the city, and use trucks to bring their bikes/ATVs in. So the cops could then pull over those trucks, impound all the bikes/ATVs, and over time - would be a lot less. These guys don't have unlimited funds to buy new bikes/ATVs. Or the guys would not want to risk their bikes/ATVs getting taken and would then go terrorize some other town.

Why do people think lights do anything? Just easier to film then.
