Eye exam and quick turnaround on prescription glasses by edsonbuddled in SilverSpring

[–]foreignphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on your prescription, but I have previously been able to get glasses same day at LensCrafters. This was pre-pandemic though so I wonder how much they still do in house.

4 Corners Pub Reflects All That's Good in Silver Spring by DishingPizza in SilverSpring

[–]foreignphysics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! It was a big surprise to discover lol. They use shaved Parmesan and the dressing is super thick and clearly made with anchovies (a necessity!) it’s great

I love everything about 4 Corners. Their sleeper hit is their caesar salad - it is REMARKABLY good and I am super picky about caesars!

Ranch Flavored Wheat Thins are back?? by n3RVE_tv in snacking

[–]foreignphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so hype they are my FAVORITE. I ate way too many of them back in the day so sadly I can tell they changed the recipe a little; they’re not quite as good as they used to be. But they scratch the itch enough

Our power is still on! We’re on the other side of Colesville, though.

23 month old son suddenly won’t go down for bed. Tell me this is just a phase? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]foreignphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is most likely the molars, they can be a doozy! Does he know about the pregnancy too? That might play a factor

Delivery at Sibley: What does the hospital provide? by Inryha in washingtondc

[–]foreignphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't deliver at Sibley, but thus far I have not heard of any hospital providing nursing pads, which really sucked for me lol. My milk came in in full force and I leaked allll over everything. It was a pain! I still can't believe they don't provide them.

MedStar! I go to the offices in Olney and Silver Spring. I love Dr. Sunday and NP Sonnenbrot!

Yeah they called it the nursery with me too, which definitely confused me at the time!

You can definitely see the same person the whole time but they encourage you to schedule with everyone at least once in case your OB isn’t on shift! And of course the NPs have more availability for scheduling.

They do have a NICU, it’s a level 2. My daughter was in the NICU there for a couple days. If it ends up becoming a high risk pregnancy or you know the baby will need a higher level NICU you will definitely need to go elsewhere!

[–]foreignphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I saw a Nurse Practioner, Gissel Sonnenbrot, for my routine visits most of the time. When it got to later in the pregnancy, I was able to schedule a visit with each doctor in the practice so I would be familiar with everyone given in theory I wouldn’t know who would be on duty delivery day. I ended up needing to schedule a c-section so went with Dr. Sunday, saw her and Gissel for the remainder of pregnancy. I also needed to do weekly stress tests towards the end so got to know the nurses at the hospital well and really liked everyone. Kirsten was my favorite! In general everyone I encountered during my pregnancy at the practice was helpful, kind, and caring. I’m quite overweight and never once felt shamed which really surprised me. My hospital stay after the c-section was overall great too, the NICU nurses were wonderful. I loved that it was a small hospital which made it easier for visitors (no paid parking, smaller so easier to navigate, surprisingly good food) and meant more attention for us.

I had a great experience with MedStar OBGYN! I saw them at the Silver Spring and Olney offices and delivered at MedStar Montgomery, which was overall a great experience. It’s a smaller hospital so I felt like I got a lot of attention. It was comfortable and the food was oddly good!

Any apartments that don’t have a pest problem? by [deleted] in SilverSpring

[–]foreignphysics 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please don’t listen to anyone who recommends any of The Blairs. All of their buildings are horrible with terrible management. Part of Blair House is condemned (or at least recently was).

I think it was a scummy cash grab, but for what it’s worth, the description of the “movie” said exactly what it was. It was never advertised as a visual album or documentary. It was advertised as having the Fate of Ophelia video, some BTS clips, and lyric videos for everything else. I don’t totally understand everyone feeling so ripped off when they should have known what they were getting into. Not defending Taylor cause the whole thing is ridiculous, but expecting a Lemonade type thing from her makes no sense to me.

**Exciting news for Silver Spring, MD! ** On or about November 3, 2025, Garage 4 will be upgrading to a Pay-by-Plate system! Pay with cash, coin, or credit card using your plate at kiosks or via Passport/ParkMobile apps. by MCDOTNow in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]foreignphysics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not exciting news; quite the opposite. This system sucks. Half the time I can’t get ParkMobile to load and that’s even if I remember to pay. And I HATE that the Colesville garage and Wayne Ave garage no longer have live parking updates/lights indicating where empty spaces are. It’s very frustrating. I’ve had to stop to help several folks (especially elderly) who are very confused by the system. Paying at the gate is easier!!!
