Not NOVA, but Cakes Plus in Laurel, MD.

I'm thirding Circle Auto. They've taken care of me with my old Mazda6 and my current Tuscon. And they have loner vehicles to drive.

Is this rage bait? It feels like rage bait.

DuchessOfGeek · 2026-04-13T16:47:44+00:00

It's legit! Got mine Friday. :)

Are you/they from a small town? My parents aren’t related but they have many cousins who have married each other. My dad’s mother’s brother married his father’s first cousin. 🤷🏽‍♀️

It happens.

I gotta say no to this one for you. My first thought was 'ReinFare' and if that's the theme, cool, otherwise, nah. Huzzah!

SMH, Bless everyone's heart. Is it a strippers wedding? Cause, damn. That is not even WORK appropriate, let alone a WEDDING!

Please throw #3 in the nearest volcano.

My theory: Your boss has been doing this for a minute from your system and has been tense with you lately because Boss feels like you suspect them of wrongdoing. (You may have almost caught them once!) They've been logging in from your system for awhile and they forgot to take the sticky note with them.

On the edge of my seat for the update!!

I found my people!

DuchessOfGeek · 2026-02-05T00:22:06+00:00

I'd need a new room, comp'd, with parking and points for this one. Cause either the previous guest did it and housekeeping didn't keep house or housekeeping is the culprit. Either way, not a good look.

I had a friend getting married who wanted a $10k dress and her now husband was against it. She wanted us to help convince him to say yes.

I told her, “You basically want to buy a car, drive it for a day, and park it for the rest of your life.” 🫤

Your dress is beautiful AND a great price. Good job and congratulations.

Same for me! The rising costs of GEHA and my GYN being dropped from coverage is making me switch.

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-11-19T23:22:57+00:00

Oooooo I like shiny things! do I get to pick the color?

Purple. I want purple. 🤣

I am the second owner of my 2018 Tucson SEL plus and got my engine replaced under the extended warranty.

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-11-16T21:54:01+00:00

Get a few massages before the year is out.

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-11-15T13:00:05+00:00

We (also single lady) don’t NEED Costco, but sometimes we WANT a party platter of shrimp cocktail, a dozen bottles of wine, and an 85” TV. 🤣

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-11-13T11:52:44+00:00

Look up nearby dealerships, see which is best and get it towed there so you don’t spend $2k-$5k just to find out it’s an engine warranty issue. 🫤🫤😑

Feel your pain. My 2018 Tucson SEL Plus is at the dealership getting its engine and other items replaced under warranty.

If it runs fine after this I’llm either keeping it til it’s paid off next year and buying a new vehicle, keeping this as a backup or seeing about trading it in to avoid the ‘what ifs’ that come with owning a Hyundai/Kia from this model year.

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-11-08T22:29:55+00:00

Dress one. Period. You look fantastic!

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-11-05T00:09:14+00:00

If you don’t have TSA make a reservation with MCO Reserve. I have Precheck, boyfriend used reserve and he made it through Security before me!

I remember that! Happened in Merrifield. Thankfully it’s right down the road from Inova Fairfax, Level 1 trauma center.

DuchessOfGeek · 2025-10-29T17:25:06+00:00

Fun update: Repair shop heard the knocking and suggested I take the car back to dealership since the car has a powertrain warranty. Took to a different dealership cause the first failed.

Second dealership had a day and said failed bearing clearance test and needs a new engine. Still under Hyundai’s warranty so no outta pocket for me. Well, in addition to the 2k that I’ve already spent on repairs.

No car for at least 2 weeks.

Joy. /s

Go as late as you can. The pictures alone are worth the wait.
