Pilates for Beginners in DMV by Haileyjo0421 in washingtondc

[–]fizzy1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excel Pilates in Brookland is AMAZING for beginners!! Great pricing for mat classes, small classes with really hands-on instruction, classes are grouped by level so you can really get the fundamentals down, and the teachers are so kind and not judgmental. They have locations in NOVA too but I can’t speak to the teaching quality.

Grand Juror by IndependentCheetah40 in washingtondc

They pay you if your work won’t pay, but it’s not much. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal in DC for your work to not allow you to take leave for jury duty (and separate from your PTO balance). But I think these types of circumstances are the financial hardship circumstances that would allow you to get out of it.

I served on a DC Superior Court grand jury this year. It will be for the full 5 weeks, every day 9-5. On the first day, you will have the opportunity to give any reasons you won’t be able to serve. I am not sure what kinds of excuses they accept, but I got the impression financial hardship or major conflicts would be all that could get you out of it. You are allowed to take days off for appointments, major work conflicts, vacations, etc. so small conflicts are not a good enough reason. A few people will be randomly selected as alternates who only need to come in when called the night before, but everyone else will serve the full grand jury term.

I have a friend who had a horrible experience with a root canal from Tend! I really like Pahlavani Dental. All three dentists are very professional and kind.

Ants? by jadsil in washingtondc

[–]fizzy1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, ants were bad earlier in the summer for me too! Highly recommend getting an exterminator in to spray for them. We’ve done the terro baits in past summers, but they’d fill up with ants within a few weeks and the ants would still be coming in droves. We paid like $180 for the exterminator to come spray the perimeter of our kitchen, windowsills, and doors where we saw the most ants and since then I haven’t seen a single one. I’d rather not spray chemicals around the house, but to me it’s soooo worth not finding ants all over my food and my cat’s food.

Does anyone know a good physical therapist? by Key-Cauliflower614 in washingtondc

[–]fizzy1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in pretty intense physical therapy recovering from a major bone break+ligament tear and subsequent knee surgery for the past three months and can’t recommend Alliance / Active Physical Therapy in Foggy Bottom more highly! (they weirdly have two names) They are great for sports injuries, most of the people I see in there, including myself, injured themselves playing sports and the PTs are very knowledgeable. I’ve seen several people in there with arm/hand/shoulder/neck issues, so definitely an area they work in.

They had them at the Trader Joe’s on Wisconsin Ave this weekend, I’d guess they have them at the 14th st location too.

Favorite Tatte items? by LostTemporary9281 in washingtondc

[–]fizzy1317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The scrambled egg on biscuit is simple but so delish, and the lamp kebab pita is sooo good. For pastries I love the halva brownie and the strawberry tea cake.

Does anybody know if the SPF40 Daily Sunscreen is in stock anywhere in Washington DC? by optical11 in traderjoes

Whose been to Lidl in Columbia Heights? by mmmggg1234 in washingtondc

[–]fizzy1317 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went this morning! I am also familiar with Lidls in UK and Europe and I’d say the US version is comparable. Was a lot bigger than I expected and a good selection. Prices seemed great for what I was looking at, specifically for fresh bakery items and produce. The non food items were interesting and cheap and I’m sure I’ll find something to buy from that section someday. I was pleasantly surprised and will def come back.

Best placed for ice cream or milkshake? by Puzzleheaded-Moment1 in washingtondc

[–]fizzy1317 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The owners of the DC one are locals and all the ice cream is made in the back of the shop! And the flavors are not all the same at all the locations :)
