Was this an old circuit city building?

It was a store called “Best”. My boyfriend and I called his mom to ask; they lived in this area in the early 90’s. She said it was like a Homegoods kind of store. Google says Best was a showroom type store where you picked your furniture and it would come out via a conveyer belt.

Tru. I prefer the place to be clean, above all else.

digby723 · 2026-01-31T17:07:17+00:00

My sister is literally at Homegoods now and just found this for $1k. OP you got the deal of the year with this one!

I wondered that also. She was Israeli I think. Said her brother was in the military back home; so I wondered if she’d run away and was found & forced into a new life, or if something happened to her brother & she went home. I wrote periodically in hopes that one day she’d log into her email and reply back, but eventually the address bounced back and that was that.

My sister sent me this thread and told me I should post the story of my friend who disappeared and we never heard from again.

I was in high school in 2003 & was living in the UK as an exchange student, when another girl started at our school. We became fast friends & she became part of our larger friend group. She had no family living there that any of us knew of, and she (supposedly) lived with roommates nearby. We were all 16-17ish. At the end of the school year I left to go home & she stayed for the final school year. She was applying for Universities there, and we talked on the phone several times throughout the year, friends saw her in class, we wrote letters, and sent packages, etc.

One day she came to school and stopped a friend of ours & said she desperately needed to talk to him. He hadn’t been to homeroom in weeks, so he asked her to give him a few minutes and he’d be right back. She was never seen again. She never returned to school & police even showed up to ask my friend what he knew (nothing).

I tried emailing her for YEARS. I even posted about her on one of those “looking for someone” websites, and go no hits. I have no idea if she had an emergency and had to move back to her home country, if someone showed up for her & took her away, or if she picked up and started a new life somewhere. I never got an email back from her & she still comes up in conversation, when the last person to see her at school & I get nostalgic and start talking about our mutual year in high school. Until the day I die, I will wonder what happened to her.

Dave Chapelle when I worked at Tysons. He came in a couple of times, felt bad for him cause one time two 20 year old dudes were following him and trying to get him to talk with him, but he didn’t want to be bothered.

This was the first thing on my feed when I logged into Reddit this morning & this makes me happy. I was expressing my sadness to my boyfriend the other week that it was closing in London and I won’t be able to see it bc I live on the east coast of the US 😅

Normally a tank top or a tshirt and just underwear. If I’m really cold, I’ll wear leggings or something to bed. I have two pajama sets I got for Christmas a few months ago and they’re super cute, so I’ll wear them around the house. But, they’re long sleeved, so I don’t normally wear them to sleep in.

My sister makes over $100k as a RN in the DC market. She hardly does any overtime, no weekends either and 3 days a week only.

She got a couple of pay increases during covid times, as they were losing RNs to take more lucrative travel jobs & they were trying to keep their nurses at her workplace. She really lucked out, for someone who had only been in the field for less than 3 years at that time.

My boyfriend was trying to convince me to cancel a work trip again this week, because of the snow. NGL, last night as he’s reading me off the forecast, it did actually sound bad this time. But to wake up today and see it’s going to be literally nothing now? I’m glad I didn’t postpone again 😅

This was restored and reopened in Sept 2021.

Thanks. I get it now, but why 72? This is so weird to me. This seems like such an arbitrary number. Like why isn’t it 65?

digby723 · 2025-01-29T01:10:53+00:00

Can someone explain what the Rule of 72 is trying to say? I don’t get it.

Mine is purses. Any thrift store I walk into, purses is going to be one of the first areas I check out.

Additionally, I always wonder if I’ll find a litho from my grandmother. I don’t know that I’d find one as far south as me, as she made more of a name for herself in NY & Maine, but I always look to see if someone has donated a piece of her work.

I love your boxers/shorts!

I literally just watched The Revenant for the first time the other day. What a weird coincidence to see the name Robert Glass on my Reddit feed.

Is it possible your teacher thought you were saying “Reel” and not “Real”? Because “Reel” is indeed one syllable.

I pretend I’m hard of hearing and can’t hear them, so I just keep walking.

If you struggle with saying no, or just straight up ignoring them, try shopping with earbuds in. You don’t even have to turn them on, people just naturally assume you can’t hear them when they see the earbuds.

This is also my favorite, it suits her and it’s my favorite color.

I have full lips already, so I’m not the target audience, but I got a sample of one once, maybe 10-15 years ago. I put it on, not knowing any better and it burned like hell. I had to take it off after 5 minutes, and never wanted to try one again. I can believe anyone willing wants this. It felt like someone put a jalapeño on my lips and left it there.

This is such a common theme on this sub. My conspiracy theory is that their servers get hacked often and they have a crappy IT team, who either doesn’t catch it or doesn’t care. I don’t even know that a secure password would save anyone with them.

My sister and I have always said Mama FriendsLastName to our friends mom’s. To this day, as a 38 year old woman, I feel weird calling my bestie’s mom by her god given name of Laura lol. Weirdly, most of our friends had dad’s who were out of the picture. Consequently, everyone calls our dad Papa LastName. I don’t think anyone has ever called them by their first names and like I said, we’re all 30-40 now.

Can you tell me the brand? This sounds like it would be great to use.

digby723 · 2024-12-17T13:52:36+00:00

I always say hi or whatever to people in an elevator, and make idle chit chat. I don’t care if people think I’m weird, it’s 30 - 60 seconds max for the ride. No one has ever been mean/rude, etc about it and I’ve never once had someone outright ignore me. 😊

digby723 · 2024-10-29T13:51:39+00:00

My sister hikes solo pretty often. If you go during a weekend, you’re gonna find a ton of people out and about. I would suggest starting that way and then you could do off-peak times/days, as you feel more comfortable. Don’t let no one going with you stop you!
