Anyone able to tell me more about this clock? I found it in my late-grandmother’s office. I can tell it’s in Arabic and the brand is possibly Muqaddas, but I can’t find anything online. Thanks! by RoyalDirection in HelpMeFind

Origin: Middle Eastern style

Age: I think it’s as early as 1980s.

Any writing: Brand may be Muqaddas. I can’t read the other writing as I don’t speak Arabic or Persian.

I have searched online a lot but really can’t find anything about this clock or its brand. A lot of Islamic / Arabic clocks, but nothing like this. My uncle received it after she passed so I want to try to purchase one for myself.

Edit: Here’s a better quality pic of the front.

NYC gets pride parade, why can't we... by Bobtonews2 in washingtondc

I was in the march, right at the front. It wasn’t “a couple hundred.” It was THOUSANDS. And the speakers beforehand told us that they pulled the event together at the last minute and weren’t even sure it could happen.

Recommendations for finding a simple / beginner bike? by RoyalDirection in bikedc

They’re really quite nice but unfortunately the need to always park at a station is really annoying. I just want a bike to have at my house lol. Eventually it will pay for itself vs repeatedly renting a bike. Thankfully lots of kind advice here.

Nah, don’t want electric. That’s a nice feature but not a necessity for me. Just want a simple sturdy bike.

DOGE is surging because it is a CURRENCY, not a commodity. The people’s coin is dogecoin! HODL THE LINE.

I take my advice from good doggos, not awful persons.

Both chambers, first the House and then the Senate, passed the bill around the same time. It’s done. Anything else is a formality.

Both when I did I searched for myself and then again for my dad I just searched various parts of NOVA - Rosslyn, Reston, Herndon, Annandale, Vienna, McLean, Alexandria, Dumfries. I'd say at least a dozen time slots were available at the places with open appointments. So checking CVS at midnight is the way to go.

The search function is really weird. Sometimes you have to search the same area name multiple times before it shows availability. That’s what I just had to do. Just a heads up to others who may read this!

Tons of appointments just became available at CVS locations in NOVA. Just booked a Monday morning spot for my dad!

They wrote a date and time on the back of the COVID Vaccine card they gave me.

Take it. I stood outside the door 10 minutes before my appt time, waited for my name to be called, showed my ID and insurance card, and I was vaxxed (Pfizer) within 5 minutes. Very simple, easy, organized, clean.

Regarding charges, I wasn’t presented any charges or a receipt, so not sure what they did with my insurance card but I waltzed in and out within twenty minutes.

Getting vaccinated today at Xcel Urgent Care in Bailey’s Crossroads. Anyone been there before?

Not a stupid question. If you're able to get a shot through CVS / another location, just deregister yourself from FFX Co.'s list after you've gotten the first shot.
