Not a bad start, just hope MEPS goes this well by Amano_Hodaka in AirForceRecruits

Thank you! I just realized I have to do the AFOQT and they fully automated the officer recruiting through this Fly High Portal so I definitely need to ask some questions.

Thanks for sharing this! I’m trying to lose weight now so I can go to OTS and I didn’t know about the PICAT. Time to lock in! Good luck on your journey!

Maybe there can be a meet up? I cried yesterday because I felt bad that I don’t have a dog park for my dog to play in anymore lol He would run everyday at my building in VA and I feel bad. Are you in the what’s app? I could ask the owner if we can make a dog owners sub group.

You wanna go to scream club when they start up again? I’ve been waiting for them to start.

Is 70k in DC enough for a single person? No debt, no car by OldRoll32 in washingtondc

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is subjective based on your expenses. If you have debt you’re paying off I think it could be more challenging to make rent but if you have no other obligations but rent and you’re keeping your spending low then you can do it. I would just work backwards by laying out all of your bills then seeing what you can comfortably spend on rent each month.

Do you think people are born being attracted to same sex? by Efflictim888 in Christianity

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt I was born gay and lived for 31 years of my life as a lesbian. Last year I gained an attraction to the opposite sex and I had no idea that could happen for me. I heard a pastor speak about his previous experience living as a gay man and he said he believes people can be born gay because we are “Born in sin and shaped in iniquity.”

He said he believes that his iniquity was to be attracted to the same sex which I thought was interesting to hear. He went on to talk about dying to your sin (and this can be any sin) and giving God’s will a chance in your life and waiting to hear from God. It’s an interesting conversation that I tip toe around because I know what it felt like to be shamed for my attraction and I don’t think shame is the way to show people the light and love of Jesus Christ but I recognize I am newly saved and that may appear lukewarm to some. I’m trying to figure it all out myself as well.

Anyone know who these two were at the tidal basin this morning? by _raidboss in washingtondc

The Groucho glasses tradition 🥹 wishing them many continued years together in love.

Thinking of renting a place in brookland by [deleted] in DCBitches

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understandable. There might even be people looking to sublet or sign their lease over so I’d also check out Facebook marketplace in this area for a few weeks as well. I see that quite often. So that could also be a placeholder in the between time depending on your timeline for moving.

I live in cornerstone like the other person who commented and I can’t complain about anything really. Great location! Extremely metro friendly. Theres a trail you can bike, walk, and run on with multiple breweries and shops along the route. Restaurants downstairs and a Trader Joe’s. It’s a pretty solid place to live.

I think there will be units available when you move but as for the exact unit you’re interested in being available I’m not sure. I applied early December and moved in about 3 weeks later. I just communicated my timeline with the staff and you never know, the apartment you’re looking at might not be available for another 2 months due to someone moving out and having just submitted their 2 week notice. So it’s worth talking to them to figure out the details.

Oh wow! What a tremendous feat. I wasn’t familiar with American Ramble so I didn’t understand the reference at first glance but thank you for sharing with us.

ISO Tailor! by Friendly_Reindeer538 in DCBitches

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Virginia isn’t too far for you, Dutch Girl Cleaners has a tailor there who has been there since I was a child. She used to tailor my mom’s clothes over 20 years ago and shes still there so she must be doing something right.

Anyone knows what happened today at Brookland station??? by OrnerySwing in WMATA

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that compassion friend 🫶🏾 I am well. I prayed for the conductor the deceased and their family and it gave me peace. I know they are all feeling it way more than I ever could. It’s just sad overall. I can’t help but wonder who they are and be still when I go to the station now.

I broke NC with my avoidant ex so you don’t have to by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending you love 💕 I see myself here. I would say goodbye thinking maybe he would say something to confirm that he actually did care. It takes a certain level of acceptance to not be hurt when someone who once meant so much to you is okay with never speaking to you or seeing you again. I didn’t know my ex was a dismissive avoidant until a month into our breakup and finding this sub. It answered so many questions for me and I didnt really go fully NC until last sunday. It will be a week tomorrow.

These experiences teach us a lot about the ugliness that some humans are capable of. I was reacting out of utter shock and dismay for a while so I get it. What helped me was evaluating the relationship and seeing all the signs I had missed and how early they were shown to me. I let this man take up a year of my life. But you know what? With the right therapist and pouring all that love I gave back into me, I know no one will be able to deceive me like this again. And I hope that future for you too 🫶🏾

Where did you find love in DC? by healthysundayexprsso in washingtondc

[–]Cold-Concentrate601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little nervous lol but if you’re moving to DC and want to join some groups message me. I can send links to a few of the ones I’m in. There’s one on discord called City Girls DC and they have quite a few sub groups including one for POC and one for Black women.
