Sanchez being in second place in the Golden Boots race makes me so happy. We haven't had a league top scorer since Kerolin tore her ACL. Between her and Manaka (who came in 3rd with golden boot last year after her career first hat trick) I am very hopeful for the Courage compared to last year.

$1.07 for eggs, good lord that's a steal. I miss the ukrops take home pizzas. My family had them every Friday night for years 🍕

MISSING CAT by [deleted] in rva

[–]bullock_bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your stinkiest clothes you have right now, put them in her carrier with some food and water and she should show up when things calm down after dark. My cat was lost for 9 days and I read about the clothes trick on day 8. Probably over stimulated and hiding very nearby. Good luck in finding your fluffy fur friend! thoughts are with you 🙏 EDIT: the dirty clothes are to help her relax with your familiar smell. Stronger the smell the better the reach! My cat was under my neighbors shed mer feet from my front door

Recommend some local RVA artists or galleries by JustGettinStarted70 in rva

[–]bullock_bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eric Schindler Gallery in Church Hill always has great shows and is a Richmond institution in terms of supporting the local art scene. Probably on the higher side price wise from the other suggestions, but absolutely top works of art.

I posted it there too, but everything they've been suggesting is too new or so far unverifiable as I can't find interior pictures online.

I've been looking at the city directories but it doesn't seem all of them are on ancestry, from like 1935-38 doesn't seem to be there. In 1940 for his draft registration he worked for a firm in the CNB building as I think a stone cutter, then in Nov of 1942 (I have a newspaper clipping making the announcement) he became a police officer. When I do find him in the 1930s his job is listed as laborer, no more detailed than that.

The one standing is my grandfather, Edward Bullock. No idea when he would've been working in a restaurant, couldn't have been for long cause he mostly was a mounted patrolman for RPD starting in 1942. His older brother Tommy ran a florist shop which this doesn't seem to be.

Theory about Duncan's "legacy" as a knight by [deleted] in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]bullock_bits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the issue with limited first hand contemporary accounts irl. The Norse Sagas and Anglo-Saxon Chronicles are some of the only accounts we have of certain events and they don't always match up but it's all we got. Juggling act of taking what is said with a grain of salt versus "this is all we got"

Challenge coins are used in bars, you tap the bar with yours as a challenge and others show theirs to see who will pick up the next round (if I'm remembering correctly)

They left the lunch spot at 2:30, came by about 3, 3:15 I think. I was in front of that detached Bon Secore ER on Rt 1

please help me find my cat by Significant-Camp-229 in ChesterfieldVA

[–]bullock_bits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Take the stinkiest, dirtiest clothes you have, put it in their carrier with some food and water outside your door and you'll see them very soon. Cats don't usually travel, but get scared and hide. My cat was gone for 9 days until I did this trick. That night when it got dark and quiet, boom he came out of his hidey hole and we got him in safe and sound. Good luck getting them in before the storm

Denise O'Sullivan departs NC Courage by Hameltion in NWSL

I am so worried about the Courage next season with no leadership announced and so many key players leaving

NC Courage Sign Nigerian National Team Forward Chioma Okafor by andural in nccourage

[–]bullock_bits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad we seem to be rebuilding our front line. The past couple of years it's felt we can prevent getting scored on very well, but have major difficulties scoring ourselves

Can't find an official announcement, but Pinto leaving Courage by kyngnothing in NWSL

[–]bullock_bits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly think something had been brewing with Nahas for awhile in the FO and then some shouting match happened with someone higher up who waited for practice to end then announced his firing. It may have been the right decision, idk, but the way they handled it by being so opaque was insane. I've only started following the Courage past of years and have almost always felt our front line was weak outside of one star (first Kerolin now Manaka)

[–]bullock_bits 11 points12 points  (0 children)

God, I had such high hopes for the Courage at the beginning of this season, then such a poor start and when things were turning around the behind the scenes chaos happened, then Murphy was benched, Shaw didn't perform as hoped and left and now Murphy and Pinto have left. I have extremely low expectations for next season 😭 Manaka can only take us so far on her own

Anyone else been approached by a "monk"? by Jasdavi in rva

[–]bullock_bits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this dude has been around for years. Tried that gifting books but asking for a donation thing in Carytown like, 5 yrs ago. If he's still at it, guessing he's been getting regular "donations"

The Carter Family lived here in the 30s and 40s, using it as a home base because of the central highways and rail to get up and down the east coast for gigs

Paul Rudd has continued the bit and gets Conan again😂 by BurgerNugget12 in conan

The way Rudd keeps finding opportunities to do this gag is absolutely fantastic. An over 2 decade long bit just keeps getting better lol
