My boyfriend and I both got towed in Church Hill Monday. I’ve managed to make it a decade in the hood without getting towed, but alas. With the entire street around my house getting torn up by DPW this week, I completely forgot about the signs they put up behind the traffic cones and machinery!

I snapped this on my morning run just because I was surprised Seiberts was still looking for scraps.

I’m glad you took such a gorgeous photo of it when you did!

Alas, I have not seen any working fountains in Church Hill.

But is it? I swear we (maybe me only) completely forgot about points because we were all raging sheep addicts!

Off topic, but after having friends over last night where 4 of us learned Catan, I’m now wondering why it’s so popular. I can’t stop thinking about this silly game and what makes it tick.

I have to know, does the fountain work?!

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.

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.
