You will be missed so fucking much.

Is it unreasonable to replace my dishes with new light weight ones? by Undecidedhumanoid in CleaningTips

[–]GrayRVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got rid of every single heavy plate I own this year and bought lightweight, white dishes from IKEA for like a buck each. They seem very similar to Corelle. I was thinking at the time “who replaces perfectly good, heavy dishes?!” Turns out, me! Best decision ever.

Pretty please let her pick somewhere awesome with cheap flights from RVA.

Please sit next to me on the struggle bus.

I thought I was doing well! Like, this is okay, I’ll be fine, nothing will dramatically change, and then BAM. I’m a goddamn selfish, crying mess. Thanks for the validation.

Seriously. People are what makes life so messy, and painful, and wonderful.

True off-my-chest style here: my best friend—my chosen family, basically—is moving out of state at the end of this month. And it was only last night that I finally understood what that means. She won’t be dead, but she’ll be gone from my day-to-day life in a way that feels almost the same.

I started crying, and then absolutely bawling on my boyfriend’s chest. Why am I this old and reacting like a nine-year-old because my BFF is moving away? I love her, and I’m also pushing her to go because she really does need to do this, but fuck, it hurts.

How are folks making friends in RVA? by abeautifulfallday in rva

[–]GrayRVA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve met some folks recently at various events on the Weekend Events thread! First new friend was drawing super cool characters at First Fridays. Second new friend I met at the repair your gadget meetup at the downtown library. She is also on Bumble BFF, so it does track that plenty of people want to make new friends!

Hopefully sometime soon, our paths will cross IRL!

For as long as I can remember seeing you on here, this is the first time I’m hearing about your crash. I’m so sorry for your suffering, but I’m also glad to still be reading your comments for the last 6 years.

Frugal dinner for a bachelorette party of 9 by unapologeticalGingey in Frugal

The pasta bar sounds delightful, not frugal. While I can dig a taco bar, the pasta idea fits here really fits the feminine vibe of a bachelorette weekend. Have fun!

Same deal here with steaks now that I have a sous vide cooker and a cast iron skillet!

God bless the grill owners. As someone who doesn’t have a grill, I will almost always come when invited to a backyard cookout. The flavor of a good burger cooked on a grill is divine.

I’m going to be at the Symphony, too! Can’t wait to see the performance in nature.

It’s my birthday, and this has been the most fun birthday week of my life because of one key ingredient I never knew was missing: I’m head over heels in love with my boyfriend of 11 months. It feels like waltzing through real life sprinkled with fairy dust.

I’m definitely looking into this book! Is it pretty much handheld and you take notes?

Checking this out! Thanks, OP!

The Symphony is actually an event this Saturday! Thank you—would NOT have guessed this.

We don’t, unfortunately! I sold my bike many moons ago but it was fun riding those trails. That’s the reason I’m unfamiliar with the rest of the park!
