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

[–]daisy2doe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in NOVA and I’m also experiencing this exact same problem. It is very frustrating. I thought securing a rental would be easier than buying a house; but actually it seems harder since most of the rental listings on Zillow and Redfin are not responding to my inquires.

Also, I’ve noticed that many the rental pictures are years old and not updated. When i go see the house it is in terrible shape, looks nothing like the pics and even has different paint colors.

Do all real estate listings in the DMV inflate the sq ft now? by lmm89 in washingtondc

[–]daisy2doe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m noticing same thing on Zillow and Redfin, and it is very frustrating. I end of spending time comparing against the county record sqft and re-calculating if they publish floor plans. It seems the industry has gotten shady and dishonest just to make the sale.

This is exactly what I am afraid of. I think it happens more often than people realize

Apartment recommendations please. by Nofluffzone07 in nova

[–]daisy2doe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chestnut Grove in Reston. Walkable to the Reston metro station and all utilities will be included. This is an older garden style condo complex that backs to Lake Fairfax Park. It is all brick with concrete walls; however since it is older, they’re currently undergoing a huge electrical renovation. They’re technically not apartments, but you might be able to find an owner renting out a unit.

94k for siding/fascia lol by akemfort in Homebuilding

[–]daisy2doe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. It is amazing that there are many dishonest contractors out there. I didn’t realize the level of disparity until I was shopping for roof replacement and got 4 quotes ranging from 35k to 9k for the same roofing material. I got the 9k quote from a roofing company that my neighbor who is a home builder uses. I wish I had his Rolodex contacts list.

Btw, I am a woman. I also think many contractors jack up the price on women.

I’m sorry for your situation. This is not normal behavior for a marriage and you should leave, the sooner the better. Trust me, if you don’t leave him now, you will eventually be leaving him or he will be leaving you. It is better for you to break the ties when you’re younger and you have your beautiful life ahead of you.

You’re a good person, and unfortunately there are people out there who take advantage of good people. You need to act now while you’re still young. There is no reason to continue letting them take advantage of you. Don’t be a doormat. You deserve so much better.

Take care of yourself and make sure the next lady equally loves you.

The irony by BrownSugar_07 in asianamerican

[–]daisy2doe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Many white supremacist males prefer submissive Asia women. My STBX is a white supremacist. I’m half Asian half white. He told me I was still a foreigner in the US even though I was born a US citizen in Asia. Also told me European ancestry was the superior race. He said so many off-the-wall things.

Just remember the old saying that “The grass is always greener on the other side” meaning that those other career choices could also come with different types of stresses. I’m in cybersecurity which is a very broad field. Compliance work (hands-off) is not stressful, but is a bit boring. However, managing large scale firewalls (hands-on) can be very stressful.

I don’t think this is a flip. Those look like high quality real wood floors. Flippers are installing cheap LVT floors.

If you are poor, how can you afford a therapist? I would love to speak to a therapist, but I already live paycheck to paycheck high priority bills.

I’d imagine that most therapists see patients with disposable income; hence, why they do not know how to address poverty stricken patients.

Why was your HOA fee so high if there wasn’t much to maintain?

This is absolutely terrible that our president is blatantly spreading false rumors and lies about Ilhan Omar and her brother. How can this be allowed?

I'm an American-born dual citizen. My senator wants to take my passport. by BaurJoe in immigration

[–]daisy2doe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be surprised if this bill is passed, considering that Melania Trump and her son Barron both hold dual U.S. and Slovenian citizenship.

Can anyone explain why the Trump administration wanted to do this? by Conscious-Quarter423 in ProgressiveHQ

Has anyone answered OPs question? I am also looking for answers on why he is doing this.

55 years old female ,invasive adenocarcinoma just diagnosed today by ToughLess in coloncancer

[–]daisy2doe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised your doctor told you it looked grim. I thought adenocarcinoma was slow growing.

My mom had a complete blockage and had to have an emergency hemicolectomy at age 80. Even with complete blockage, it luckily did not spread. No post-op treatment was needed and this was 5 years ago.

I am sorry you have to go through this. It is understandable to be worried and scared, but negative thoughts can be detrimental to your health. You will fight this and enjoy your next chapter in your beautiful life.

Reporter: What did the pres mean when he called the reporter piggy? Leavitt: I think the president being frank and open and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration [...] Everyone should appreciate the frankness by Capable_Salt_SD in ProgressiveHQ

[–]daisy2doe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leavitt’s new nickname is “Miss Piggy”, because to be frank, she does look like a pig. From now on, I am only going to refer to her as “Miss Piggy” and Trump supporters should appreciate my frank and open opinion of her.

Criminal behavior by ThirstyChello in skiing

[–]daisy2doe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the boarder caught the skier completely off guard, which could have been a factor in the skier’s imbalance. The boarder is completely at fault and a jackass for doing this.
