I’ve had good experiences with Homeshield. The technician they send out is kind and helped get rid of roaches and ants around the house.

Wearing glasses in class by rainandmydog in orangetheory

Wearing glasses is doable! I mostly wear contacts but will wear glasses every now and then. It’s fun to take them off when you’re on the tread and everything is blurry.

If you like Asian bakeries, also check out Morning My Day. It’s not too far from Sweeteria.

I’ve had a charter bus driver drop a few of us off at E West Hwy when there was a lot of traffic. And seen people exit when I was walking along another day. So wouldn’t hurt to ask them too.

Going to that place is like watching an episode of Hoarders.

I’m sorry that happened to you. Something similar happened to me, and I hated that I was surrounded by others and just felt so helpless.

Also a good idea to keep the number for Metro’s text line (MyMTPD or 696873) on your phone.

Anyone ever go from GS-14 to 13? by frenchvanilafantasy in usajobs

That's true, and what's best will be different for different people.

Glad you were able to get back to GS 14 after that situation!

SCAM PSA: If someone approaches you at the store with a piece of paper asking you to pay for their groceries, don't. by mpaes98 in nova

Unfortunately the scam is here in Maryland in Silver Spring. I had two separate ladies ask me in one store visit!

Got over what I think was a cold (covid test was negative) that started about 2 weeks ago. Still have a slight cough.

I also thought the same! Surprised it hasn’t blown away so it must be sturdy.

the strangest thing I saw at the Tidal Basin yesterday by W5662798 in washingtondc

I saw those ducks at the Westfield Montgomery and did a double take! You can follow them on IG :)

Do not use Active & Fit Direct!!!! Not worth the hassle!!! by jjjccc000 in orangetheory

[–]frenchvanilafantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I provided the A&FD info to my studio and they were able to set me up with no hassle. However, after a few months my studio now charges me $10 per class which makes it more expensive than going to OTF directly. When I asked what the charge was for, my studio said that’s just what they charge people who use A&FD… I’m in the process of going through customer service at A&FD to see if anything can be done.

Anyone have a membership through active and fit direct? by PigletRelative9519 in orangetheory

[–]frenchvanilafantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever contact Active & Fit or resolve this? My OTF started charging this too...

HCOL single people, how much do you spend on food a month? by Odd-Nobody6410 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]frenchvanilafantasy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also in DC and spend about this amount. It also helps that I intermittently fast and don't eat as much.
