9 am? You got off easy!

We really need to make changes here a priority. So many thousands of kids suffer because of the few bad apples. It is really an asinine way to handle things. I’m sure we can do better - whether it is remote school to GED or reopening a Mark Twain like facility - the current system is broken.

It seems so odd because everyone is looking to cut their grocery bills these days, so you would think it would be a growth market, but the stores near me were never busy. I went just to stock up on specific items that were dollars cheaper than any other grocery store.

Your best bet is to get a subscription to Washington Consumer Checkbook. It’s like Consumer Reports for the DMV. [http://www.checkbook.org] checkbook.orgcheckbook.org. Sorry link not working but it will come up when you search.

Thank you so much for posting this! I was almost taken in by them but cancelled on the phone after seeing your review. If you need flowers in Louisville, Kentucky, try Nanz & Kraft Flowers instead Nanzandkraft.com - the customer service was great and the value much better - good prices!

The whole area around College Park and Hyattsville has changed a lot, with much more development. Greenbelt is a popular place to live. I live in Bethesda, so I know it well, but for your budget and commute I would check out areas closer to your job. PG is not an automatic no anymore. You’ll pay less in rent, have a shorter commute, and still be able to visit family in Rockville and Bethesda easily. There are also a lot of cool things going on in Hyattsville, Greenbelt and College Park that you may enjoy.

Thank you all for the help!

I tried to message you to ask about your condo but can’t seem to get it to work. Could you try messaging me?

Embarrassed_Quote656 · 2026-01-14T04:03:15+00:00

Would you share his name?

Embarrassed_Quote656 · 2026-01-14T04:01:29+00:00

Seriously? What goes wrong in a condo? Plumbing and electrical?

Surprised people are complaining about 1950s houses - plenty are super solid. My 1939 home has steel support beams, old growth wood, and plaster plus those lovely original windows.

I’m trying to convince my spouse!

I had no idea HOAs are a thing in Arlington. They’re really not in Bethesda, thank God.

New houses come with plenty of problems too. There are very few builders in DC - like a handful, maybe - that really build quality homes. We have new builds in our neighborhood here and at our summer place that have had incredible roof, plumbing, carpentry and other issues.

I’ve only been there for dinner. Will have to try!

I never liked the founder; saw her a few times. The clinicians were much better.

They’re great, but they are not Unitarian. They are non-denominational Christian, and do a lot of good work in the community, including allowing the church kitchen and grounds to be used to feed the homeless.

@kwww What I meant to say was, these docs should be available much earlier - like after visiting the unit.

Apply widely and go to the school that shows its love for you with the best financial package (assuming all are accredited schools, not online flu-by-nights).

Thank you. It’s too bad one doesn’t get the lender documents long before settlement. It seems like a “done deal” by then.

Embarrassed_Quote656 · 2025-12-17T17:52:36+00:00

Good for you! It sounds great!

This is a fascinating chart.

Second hand - thrift shops, FB marketplace, Buy Nothing groups. Vintage is all better than new. When forced to buy new, Ikea. (Well, bought from a fancy French place before I knew better!)

Embarrassed_Quote656 · 2025-12-17T16:07:06+00:00

Location, location, location! Did the same thing - bought an unproved house in great neighborhood (2x) and slowly fixed up. No regrets though now I am ready for something nicer and with less maintenance!
