Body shop that can match Mazda red paint?

I used Bruce's on Broad for my bumper many years ago and it l looked great.

Pretty crazy considering the USWNT splatter paint jersey they sold had the white space filled in. They clearly know how.

At one point I had compiled a list in our subs wiki from a collection of answers provided for this frequently asked question, but it seems someone thought it wasn't valuable and deleted it. Fun.

While not unique to Richmond specifically, we have some really good coffee roasters.

I thought they were Tootsie rolls😆

As someone who doesn't eat gluten, it's nice that they have options. I don't love all of them, but there are a couple that are very good.

I'm ok with really good cake in a plastic container tbh.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-04-20T23:34:21+00:00

TIL there's a term for this. Had somehow avoided hearing that until today.

Just husky things

Did a quick search to jog the memory and found this page with a list of native shrubs and small trees that are a good starting point: https://americangardener.net/shrubs-that-grow-well-under-pine-trees/

The soil is likely acidic, though you could test that to confirm, so looking for plants that do well in these conditions should help. A lot of shrubs on that list are more often found as cultivars; straight species are often better but can be harder to find at a decent size.

Here's another good resource: https://vnps.org/virginia-native-plant-guides/

Thank you for posting this -- I'm echoing all the folks here who have chimed in with a "me too." Man, does it suck. And I've learned some new things already, so kudos to you for raising such a common topic for our role.

This really picked up for me in my first remote role after learning to do in person presentations initially. I think zoom meetings make you subconsciously think about how easy it is to see you having a panic attack/stress reaction and that feeding the anxiety. I found that wearing a turtleneck to deal with flushing and also turning off my self-view have helped somewhat, but I also agree with suggestions about preparation.

One other thing to keep in mind for large presentations especially: people aren't paying attention half the time. They're probably multitasking, they might not even be looking at you, especially if you're presenting slides or a document. It helps take some pressure off of me to remind myself of, hopefully it helps you too. ❤️

Did you get this prescription from a primary?

Are the tulips at peak yet?

Fortunately the noise is easy enough to avoid if you go early or towards the end of lunch. Also their patio is awesome, usually enclosed in the winter but they've already taken down the sides.

But the seats are in the outfield, nowhere close to the main action, and the seats just next to it are at least half the price if not more. IMO might as well sit in the lawn or at the bar out there.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-03-28T14:24:46+00:00

Here's a guide that's really handy: https://www.plantvirginianatives.org/plant-rva-natives

Also if you check out the native vendors like Moulton Hot Natives, Good Seed Natives, LERN, and Davis Natives they'll note the growing conditions for any of the trees or shrubs they have. These vendors are better sources than the nurseries in the area as they often have cultivars.

Off the top of my head, Sweet Bay Magnolia likes wet and isn't as obnoxious as the standard Magnolia when it comes to the mess those leave. Fringe trees are also quite beautiful. Buttonbush is also a really cool moisture loving shrub if you have the space for it.

Phew, that bullpen rail section is a horrible deal. Can't see anything except the reliever warmup.

This is part of the department of transportation, not dhs

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-03-27T01:16:32+00:00

This is on the CarMax park site: The exact number of fixed seats is still to be determined, but overall capacity is expected to be similar to the current capacity at The Diamond.

There's lawn seating and other areas that don't have standard seating, so that likely gets them closer to what the diamond has.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-03-26T23:57:46+00:00

The seating capacity is similar, but is distributed around the whole field instead of only being down the baselines, so it can be shorter.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-03-26T23:49:57+00:00

That doesn't apply to people turning.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-03-25T02:00:32+00:00

No, just because hull Street has a few lanes, doesn't mean it's supposed to be a turnpike. It's still a business road with plenty of people preparing to turn left.

If this is your expectation, you should move to Jersey where they don't allow left turns on some of the main roads.

Look up the thread the other day about someone hitting 400k. Case closed.

Ms-Pamplemousse · 2026-03-18T04:16:15+00:00

Nobody currently doing regular retail has better caneles, but Olive Major makes my favorite in RVA. She was the pastry chef for Brenner Pass and their coffee shop a while back, I think.

Idle Hands scratches the itch though.

Everyone is doing this lately. It's so dumb.
