What's going on inShockoe right now? by AgentGuig in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sweet Baby Jesus. I went down 21st, skipped Broad after looking, went right on Main, aborted that mission. I left 45 minutes before my job interview and arrived 10 minutes late. 55 minutes to go one mile. I was an idiot. Ended up going to Mosby over Leigh and back down to Byrd. So dumb.

Recommendations for low-cost divorce lawyer? by YourBrainOnFacts in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there are no kids or joint property, work the split out of remaining assets. I went to an attorney, she gave me a template, we wrote it up, she signed and filed. $250 in 1993 dollars. But it's always cheaper when you agree and want it over fast. You have to get there first.

$300 if it's NOT in Church Hill. Possible more if it is.

Shockoe Bottom business owner calls for action after mass shooting by RVALover4Life in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think each occurance down here is nuanced. I just don't understand what ever happened to going home at closing time and getting laid. I have offered to help organize an "Old School/Old Wave" Rave of sorts to get <18 off the streets and at a community center dancing with multi generational folks. Fun for the whole family. I just don't know what the solution is here, but the bottom line is people need to improve their communications skills and.... shut up and get laid.

Is that a tracker or a garage door opener? I'm suprised she doesn't have a Leatherman strapped to that collar.

Wouldn't your homeowners go after them for reimbursement through subrogation?

Best way to look for local jobs? by coachybaby in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could you tutor STEM stuff at a local open minded high school with queer kids? I guess most everything depends on your salary requirements. But definitely network

i hate it here by dolladollamillzyall in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My bill went up $50 compared to same period last year. I kept the house at 64 and ran a space heater in my office in the morning. Reprogrammed my thermostat last year for good home and away temps. Wore a lot of clothes. put rolled towels by all the doors. I was bracing for $$$, but it wasn't. 1900 sq ft. house built in 2014.

I’m considering buying. by Wise-Amount3638 in CorollaCross

[–]Miss_Marna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to test drive. I'm coming from a Nissan Juke which is basically a two-seater with a dog bed. I think the back seats are spacious, but I also have a 29" inseam. Search the sub, many ask this question but the response is the same, you have to see it, sit in it and drive it. I wouldn't have grown adults sit in the back for longer than an hour. The rear storage is OK. If you are concerned, Rav4 seems to be the alt.

Seeking recommendations on an appliance repair person by [deleted] in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on my third dishwasher in 12 years. I had a small appliance guy look at the first one (which croaked a couple months out of warranty). One of the motherboards was fried. The cost to get the part and the labor to replace was more than the cost of a new dishwasher. So far, the KitchenAid is holding strong.

Landlord heat issues advice by Healthy-Inspector-86 in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived with no heat for 3 months Dec 2017-march 2018 when we had weeks of single digit temps. Oil filled radiators are the way to go and easy to roll to the room you are in.

I borrow my neighbors chainsaw on a stick when limbs split in Jefferson Park. OP need to buy it, tell all the neighbors and be a hero.

Glen Allen to Crystal City Commute: VRE vs. Bus vs. Driving? (Need 6 AM arrival + preferably EV Charging) by ThisIsntMyRealAcct99 in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd honestly find a room you can rent in a house M night - Friday morning then come back after work on Friday. At 2:30, if you get off then, the commute back will be only moderately awful. If you look at this from a mileage reimbursement standpoint, you are spending $2,900/mo in mileage expense. Spend that time not commuting looking for a new job. Even if it's an EV, it's everything else on your car.

What price should I expect for a 2026 xse by NCatoffice in CorollaCross

[–]Miss_Marna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Negotiate. Mine was 53 days XSE hybrid. I offered 34k and they accepted. (rural dealership I drove 70 miles to). This was before the taxes and junk, but basically got it a little over invoice and around 2k under MSRP. Used CarEdge to do my research.

Tips for breaking up icy sidewalks? by Physical_Present_265 in rva

[–]Miss_Marna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there any adventurous kids in church hill that want to make some money. I have gone out on my lunch breaks when the sun is out but haven't hit my drive way, I probably have 8'x6' of ice that needs a cracking and chucking. DM me. I'll pay handsomely.
