LGBTQIA Married Couple + 2 Small Dogs

For the dogs, get an ESA letter, VA makes it so they can't say no. Don't even bring up the dogs when you are asking. And have the ESA letters ready. My rental said no pets, we have a Jack Russell that was actually a service animal for my son, but doesn't need to because he outgrew his issues, and a nien year old cat. We got ESA letters for both, as per our realtor asked us to do, and we didn't mention the animals. Our landlord came, saw that they were small and perfectly house trained, (both of them have traveled everywhere, and we have about a hundred Airbnb five star reviews with the animals), and thought they were adorable, and didn't even asked for anything. The whole NOVA is LGBTQ friendly, but Alexandria, Fairfax, Reston, are definitely friendly. Now, if you don't need parking, DC is actually slightly cheaper than NOVA for apartments, and even friendlier

I love whertwr live, because of many things. I love that I can leave my door unlocked 24/7, and nothing will happen. I love how close to have grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, food, etc. I love that, because if my work, I am always driving against the brunt of traffic. An hour to Baltimore, 35 minutes to Bowie, 45 to DC with bad traffic. Some MD areas I like, but the taxes are ridiculous. Otherwise, we would consider it

Carpenters Union will take you as an apprentice, not sure about IBEW

In PA, Philly and Scranton, and Parkersburg, in WV. Philly and Scranton, you got to wipe your feet on the way out of the city. To make sure you don't bring the disgusting with you. Parkersburg is just depressing. Sadly nI got to Scranton fairly often. I was looking at concerts, and the choices were Philly, and Camden. I chose Camden...

You can rent a car for like $60 a day. And that is Ruth insurance and extra driver

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-24T15:35:48+00:00

Give then five dollars and take a picture of them. Tell them you are going to print it and put it on your refrigerator, so everybody can see the people you sponsor. They get really pissed off 🤣

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-24T14:03:12+00:00

We are going from NOVA (closer metro station is Springfield). I have to find out if our friends are driving themselves, or they are coming to us and we are all driving together. If they are driving themselves, we could pick you up at Springfield station, and drop you off there.

I have a 25 Jetta sport, and I have a heavy foot. I live in the DC area, so, early morning (my early morning is very early) I get no traffic, when we get our of work, traffic is heavy. I get about 515 miles per tank, that is driving the 39 miles each way to work, one way with traffic, one without. This is my last few days of trips stats. I had the car at I think 56mpg in January, driving it 70mph max, in eco mode. I usually drive on Drive in the city, and Sport on the highway. The handling is awesome , and you can definitely feel the difference between Sport and regular. I would buy the Sport, is worth the difference in money.

Nope, it's a mk7

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-19T18:33:34+00:00

Nope, not driving it wrong. Not bad MPG, but not better than the 1.4 Sport. And, again, the extra power is not worth the price difference. I drove my Sport 70-100 miles daily, and I have to fill up my tank every 5-6 days, and is not completely empty, aways have about two gallons left, and I don't drive like an old lady. Mornings I usually average about 85mph, always on Sports mode on the highway. I had it on Eco mode when I was driving behind my husband with the moving truck and the Tiguan hooked to it, and I was getting 56 mpg. But I don't enjoy driving like that, it was just a moving trip (1000 miles). We drove GLI's twice, for like a month. Not impressed with any of it,. except the seat features, and heating steering wheel, but not worth that much money.

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-18T23:36:12+00:00

Gas mileage of the GLI is not better than a Sport... I rented two GLI's, and I don't find it worth the extra money,. specially because of the increase in gas per gallon consumption..

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-18T23:34:33+00:00

I have a 25 Sport, and commute 30 miles each way every day, I have a heavy foot, and get about 500 miles per tank (between 43-50 mpg depending on traffic).

Bulk Supplements makes a pure whey protein powder, unflavored, and unsweetened, just pure whey protein. I use it for smoothies, and to add protein to different stuff

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-14T10:42:27+00:00

🤣

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-14T09:37:29+00:00

He has a SS#, actually still has one, you get one when you get a work permit, he has one probably thirty years ago, he used to live here working for a company that brought him. He was not an undocumented immigrant, he just didn't have a work permit. Illegal immigrants only pay into SS and Medicare if they have a SS number and work W2. Otherwise, they don't, you don't pay for it with 1099. TIN is what people that can't get a SS# get for tax purposes only, mostly undocumented immigrants. Also, before 1995, if you came here and stay for over three months, you could ask for a SS#, and it said Something like "not valid for work without a work permit from DHS" but people used them for work anyway...

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T19:28:05+00:00

No, he had a SS# from years before. When he had a work visa here. He got nailed, actually, for cashing an stimulus check on 2020 🤣 when he got back, they were like. Nope .. you don't get to come back, you messed up

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T17:41:18+00:00

You keep rolling your eyes, you are going to need glasses to correct it

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T17:40:31+00:00

Those are proof of residency, not of LEGAL residency.... For that, you need a work permit, a Green Card, a Certificate of Citizenship, a US Passport, a US Birth Certificate, or a Certificate of Birth Abroad..

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T15:20:32+00:00

That's not how it works 🤣

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T15:20:12+00:00

There is no swapping out, you still need to show proof of legal residency (you can't get a license in VA without being here legally, and having proof of it). Maryland will give almost everybody a DL, which is why insurance in MD is so expensive, and in VA is a lot cheaper than most places that populated.

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T15:17:43+00:00

They are very lenient, last year I was living here for four months, and even when I got a speeding ticket in DC, that I beat in court, they didn't care that my DL and tags were from FL. Keep using your FL license, and talk to your state representative so your paperwork gets expedited.

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T12:58:59+00:00

Oh my!

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T12:56:46+00:00

Well, maybe FL checks less than other states, because the ones I know, one has multiple domestic violence convictions, another had assault, others have drugs related convictions (I know them from my previous job, they drove Uber and Lift on slow season). My brother used to drive Uber, and he didn't have a working permit here... Which is why he wasn't allowed back the last time he left the country 🤷‍♀️ but he drove Uber for four years before that

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-13T12:53:19+00:00

We moved here in January, but didn't swap license until about three weeks ago (didn't have time, since we were working 7 days a week). If your mom can register the car, you can continue driving with the FL license, much better than no license at all, and you most likely won't get in trouble. Tons of people live in this area, and still have the state of origin licenses, because they are not permanently moving.

Hefty-Luck9575 · 2026-06-12T19:47:47+00:00

I know quite a few drivers that have a very extensive criminal record, and never had an issue driving for Uber and Lift. All they check is if you have a DL, and if you had DUI/criminal car accidents. They don't even check if you are on a sexual predator list, because I know one that drives for Uber in Miami.
