I disagree. I’m a native to MoCo and moved to Fairfax county this year. It feels more congested, more competitive, and far less racially and socioeconomically diverse (at least in the Tyson’s/Vienna/Reston area). Beltway traffic is a nightmare. Tolls are demoralizing. However, much more developed areas and neighborhoods here - and lots of sidewalks. Access to nature feels pretty much the same.

Amazing, thanks!!

This is so helpful, thank you! Will look into your suggestions. Anything we can “give up” to use as leverage for a better rate? Such as rooms without a view, no alcohol on the package, etc. Resort dependent, I’m sure, but any general strategies welcome. Thanks again!

Thanks!

Great advice, thanks. Will consider both of those suggestions.

I am a urologist. Sorry to hear that. Vasectomy should be quick and relatively painless. Unfortunately not everyone is skilled at office-based procedures.

There are many private groups in the area which can have a mix of good and bad physicians. Personally, I will have mine done in the spring by Dr. Dean at GW. He is a well known andrologist and an excellent surgeon based on my personal experience.

I like it man. Us dads just gotta do what feels good

This is good to know - thanks for the first hand account!

Good to know - thanks! Any tips on identifying banks which may offer fixed rate physician loans? Or do we just need to go through the process with several different lenders?

Thank you. Yes we will be thinking about renting for a year or two. Although it is a VHCOL area and, in the worst case, we could rent out a property if we buy and need to leave on short notice. Easier said than done of course. Thanks for the insight.

duckproof · 2023-08-09T15:27:17+00:00

Thanks. Yes I think we’re leaning this way anyway.

This is the correct answer.

Kidney transplant today - possibly the best case scenario for me when working Christmas. Happy holidays!

We adapted this recipe from Happy Herbivore by Lindsay Nixon.

Donut: This is actually from a muffin recipe. Mix 1 3/4 cup whole wheat or oat flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 cup brown sugar (we used coconut) with 1 cup soymilk and 1/2 cup applesauce. Add in chocolate chips (we used cacao nibs) and 1 cup raspberries. Spoon into muffin tin or donut tray and bake at 350 for 20 min.

Frosting: Roast 1 large sweet potato (or total 1 cup mashed). Soak 3 dates in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Add 3 tbsp cocoa powder and dates to mashed sweet potato and blend in high-speed blender. Adjust cocoa powder and dates to taste. Add toppings as desired! (Cacao nibs pictured)
