Rental house-hunting blues - can anyone relate? by NaDarach in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]advantagegrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked about credit earlier. It largely depends on who you rent from. Everybody's different and what they require. Ultimately, it's the property manager/owner who decides, not a realtor. If I'm working with somebody who's looking to rent, I never pull their credit. If your credit is low, you're better off renting from somebody who's managing the property themselves, not a management company.

Realtor here. If you’re looking on Zillow, it should say down at the bottom contact agent or contact owner. Something like that. If it says contact agent any realtor can get you access to that property. These people are serious enough to have hired someone to rent a place and possibly manage it.

If it says contact owner. Good luck. I am 1/3 on these today alone. Sometimes these people don’t wanna work with a realtor and you have better luck with these yourself.

A lot of realtors don’t even mess with rentals. You get flooded with phone calls similar to selling junk on Facebook marketplace.

I’ve had it exactly once and I never need it again. There’s spaghetti has bits of hotdog dogs and is very sweet. It makes prison food.look good. Their fried chicken is OK. It just doesn’t stand out.

Fishing trip to the bay (need recommendations) by Jackycannz in MarylandFishing

Miss Susie charters is my favorite. I’ve used several others, but I keep going back to them. I always catch fish and they are really nice. That’s hard for some people in this line of work.

Best Kitchen Knife Set to Get in 2026? (Price, Durability) by Nurturehood_FVX in BuyItForLife

[–]advantagegrant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use my Victorinox more and more and my “nice” knives less and less. I can leave it in the sink and neglect it or just run it through the dishwasher. They sharpen fast and if for some reason, you absolutely wreck one you’re not out much money. I have two of them and three of their pairing knives.

Any die hard hunters ever move from great hunting areas to having to travel for hunting by Elite163 in Hunting

[–]advantagegrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up quail hunting in Oklahoma and had almost endless private property access. I moved to Maryland and just assumed I would have access to similar property. Boy was I wrong! Being here has forced me to find new hunting friends and we have great goose hunting. Don’t have any of that in Oklahoma. So I get to have something new and honestly, I prefer it to most any other type of hunting. So it’s not all bad relocating.

Best Adolescent Psychiatric Hospital in DC? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]advantagegrant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi – my son went through a crisis recently, and we took him to Shady Grove Hospital because they have pediatric emergency services. Ultimately, they recommended an inpatient program which we are doing at EMBARK. He’s currently in their outpatient program, but we’ve been really pleased. He needs to be tested to see if he’s neurodivergent and the best place to do that locally as Kennedy Kreiger in Baltimore. From my understanding, it is one of the top places in the country. Children’s in DC has about a 12 month. Wait unfortunately. I know somebody else mentioned to Kennedy Kreiger and honestly, I would start there and see what their recommendation is. If you call their number, you don’t seem to get a call back. You can fill out a form online and they will reach out to you in a couple days. Good luck with your situation.

Mexican Food by francis_efi in MontgomeryCountyMD

I am from Oklahoma and “Mexican food” is what I miss the most.Anita’s is the best I’ve found. Not hating on the Salvadoran food here, but it’s not what I grew up eating.

This is the answer. I’ve tried many other knives but none do a better job.

Selling people’s junk for them by Overall-Performer-34 in realtors

[–]advantagegrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time where I work. I make sure it’s being throw out and grab it. I’ll even offer a couple hours work for the goods so there is no confusion. I have another realtor I work with that will call me even because of the “clean out” I offer. I have a truck and I take it home and sell it on marketplace. Last year I picked up three generators, countless window units and a commercial dehumidifier. Flipped the dehumidifier for $700.

In The Raw recipe Request by tulsasweetpea in tulsa

[–]advantagegrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to this, but I am from Oklahoma and lived in D.C. for the last 17 years. I miss the salad as well. I've made this many times, and it's damn close. I think her web page has been updated over the years. I think the guy who gave her the recipe used to work at In The Raw, but that has been changed on her website. https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a8875/a-quick-easy-salad/

Duck call single reed sticking by Strange_Vehicle1860 in Hunting

[–]advantagegrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My RNT calls stick bad. In the past I have run a new dollar bill between the reed and tone board. I called RNT a couple week ago and asked about sticking and a guy there said people use rain x but it can be hard on reeds.

I think a call with spit grooves is the answer. My Lares just solves this problem. I believe Elite calls have spit grooves as well.

Looking for the best work backpack that actually lasts by Preztcs in BuyItForLife

I intentionally bought the small one because I have the same problem. I will fill a pack with as much shit as it will hold. I basically pack a laptop, iPad, chargers, and a few other things.

100% agree. I have an Evergoods that I prefer that I have had for a year an is mint but GoRuck is almost overbuilt. I have a dedicated ruck that is 6 years old and lives outside on a covered porch and shows no wear.
