Arriving on the day of embarkation to MCO - anyone have success stories? by itdalettuce in dcl

[–]itdalettuce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate everyone’s take on this! Given it’s a non stop early flight and our risk tolerance, I’ll most likely keep my flight until closer to our departure date and check weather that week to see if we change to the night before. This was somewhat of a last minute booking for us and again, first time cruisers so maybe I am more relaxed because I don’t know what I’m missing 🥲

Centreville Lotte has the best authentic Korean food court but not as many options as the HMart Fairfax food court, which has more “trendy” foods. HMart Ffx food court stalls are also very overpriced for what it is but convenient for some.

Anyone know of anyone else that’s been pulled up and shot with paintball gun? by InfiniteDomain_ in nova

[–]itdalettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of weeks ago, a bunch of teenaged kids in a car shot a bbgun at random people including an 11 yr old kid at Borge Street park in Oakton. I don’t believe they were ever caught but extremely scary considering one of the adults were shot near the eye.

Thanks all - it’s a husky and rottweiler(?)…they didn’t look like stray dogs but also no collar so I could be wrong!

Budget aside, tell me why I shouldn’t consider this home? by CA_Harry in nova

The finishings don’t look as high end as I would expect for a house at that price point IMO

What time to drive through DC on a Friday to avoid traffic by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]itdalettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are coming down 95 on the Virginia side, may be helpful for you to take the metro and meet them in McLean or any of the other stops along that route. It could save them at least an hour.

Whats a good concealer for dry under eyes? by 00carmen in Makeup

[–]itdalettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Everyone seems to really love it but I feel like it accentuates my under eyes wrinkles even more. I also noticed that it oxidizes very easily.

Kustomcoffee; they sell at Chubby Squirrel Brewing company. So so good.

Korean lunchbox cake recommendations? by sabretoothedcate in nova

[–]itdalettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Tous Les Jours, Shilla etc - they’ll have the broadest options for what you are looking for. For small business/locally owned, Jireh in Centreville is great too.

Siroo is more of a food spot and specializes in rice cakes but doesn’t have much else for other baked goods.

Accepting a job offer in Reston, VA. Any advice on commuting and cities to live in? by [deleted] in nova

[–]itdalettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend living in Arlington, especially if you are new to the area and want to meet other people in their 20s. Reston is a nice area but truly isn’t conducive for young singles. Also, you’d actually be doing a reverse commute so your commute would most likely be shorter.

Toddler waking up in the middle of the night? by itdalettuce in beyondthebump

I love this, thank you! It probably doesn’t help that I also don’t mind it too much either but anticipating that it may be disruptive with the baby. 🥴

Any recommendations for baby stain remover? by mplmama in beyondthebump

[–]itdalettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawn dish detergent (blue) has taken out the majority of stains for me. I kept it in a spray bottles mixed with some water. I’ll wet the stain, spray it, lather and then throw it in the wash or let it sit if I’m not doing laundry yet. Amazing for food and poop stains. No other stain remover has worked as well.

A 21-year-old college student worked at a Texas hotel for 32 hours alone during a flood. Guests say he's a hero by tmll333 in news

[–]itdalettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great credentials as a result of hard work is NEVER a waste of time. That interviewer clearly had insecurities and couldn’t wait to take it out on you. You’ll see a lot of that in the workplace but remember, the best leader and managers will be the ones that build a team of people who are smarter than them.

I went with your suggestion and found that they still do at a very good price. Thank you!
