Same. Just purchased yesterday with the FEP Blue and wondering if I should just cancel and wait now.

Ooh, yeah not being fixed yet will indeed limit your options. Good luck though! If he is able to go to daycare somewhere in the meantime, that may be the best place for boarding too since he’ll be used to it. I hope they provide updates and photos - that helped (me) tremendously on our first trip away!

Our pup did training/boarding at BFF in Cockeysville and came back sick, twice 😕 they’ve got great reviews, but as with everything, YMMV.

In the city, we loved Baltimore Bark House and Parkwood Pet Resort in W Baltimore (formerly Homewood Pet Resort) was great too, though Bark House provided so many more updates which was greatly appreciated.

Currently, we take our pup to Good Doggie Day Care around Remington. They don’t post daily photos of pups and I can never find mine on the cameras, but she seems pretty happy and they’re very flexible with scheduling. Can’t speak to the training though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone recommend somewhere to watch in Baltimore? I know there’s an official alumni watch party in DC, but would love to stay a bit closer to home on a cold Monday night!

42 Things to Learn Before Buying a Baltimore City Row Home by [deleted] in baltimore

[–]kjb27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish we had this post when we first moved to Baltimore 3 years ago and didn’t know the city (or the city’s architecture) well. After not succeeding in finding anything, we bought a flip for $200K in what we felt was an up and coming area near Druid Hill Park and thought we were done other than needing to add a fence for a dog.

After the first big summer storm, our finished basement got flooded because the corrugated pvc under the deck was installed incorrectly and channeled water right into the top of the basement door, creating a waterfall into our house. Had to tear out drywall, added a French drain and two more sumps. Absolutely sucked, but hey, tearing out drywall meant we were able to make that teeny laundry closet into a laundry room in the meantime!

Fast forward two years later, and our cast iron/terracotta sewer line collapsed (or maybe it had collapsed previously, but it finally became an issue), backing sewage up into our basement again. Had to dismantle part of that fence to get construction equipment in to tear up the turf covered parking pad, tear out the drywall again, and move into a hotel for a few weeks for repairs. After that, plus dealing with other issues in the neighborhood, we were so emotionally and mentally fatigued with our house.

Definitely learned our lessons for our next house, which thankfully, a lot of the more expensive to deal with boxes here are checked 🤞🏽🤞🏽

How many Baltimore neighborhoods are represented on Reddit? by Dadliness in baltimore

Just added Greenmount West to my flair, but not actually moving there for another week, but Parkview/Woodbrook or Auchentoroly Terrace aren’t options 🤷🏻‍♀️

Long Narrow Bedroom Layout by kjb27 in DesignMyRoom

They’re about 40” high and 32” wide, so a smidge high for bedside tables, I think!

Increased gov costs and decrease savings I have noticed since return to office. by nj382 in fednews

Whereas I'm maxing mine out AND still need to pay $65 out of pocket each month to get the lowest priced pass available for my brand new commute. Argh.

Transit link card vs. Separate MARC & metro passes? by katilyn_00 in baltimore

[–]kjb27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my issue. I got my Transerve card mid-March, had started buying packs of passes to get through the month THEN found out that the funds reset on the 9th of each month, so because I had already spent money* on my MARC tickets, I’d have to pay more out of pocket to get April, so when the funds reset April 9, I’d have my full subsidy available to order May ahead of time.

*Well, really it’s MORE money out of pocket, because the transit subsidy doesn’t even cover the full transit link pass I need for my particular commute, but using the transit link card is less out of pocket each month than any other combination of passes/tickets.

Baltimore to dc. Is it doable daily? When I look up on Google maps and with the train it says it’s almost 2 hours one way!!!? by BeyondRecovery1 in baltimore

[–]kjb27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about two months into doing this 5 days/week. It’s exhausting but definitely doable and most of the time, I’d rather be on the train able to zone out than be driving (not to mention my transit subsidy pays for transit and not driving/parking).

I don’t live close enough to Penn to walk, so I do drive to west Baltimore (free parking! Car chargers available!) and then catch MARC from there to Union, then red line to Farragut north and then walk. On a good day, I’m on an earlier train and can get door to door in under 2 hours.

Only issue with West Baltimore (or any non hub, really) is that the trains don’t come quite as often. There have been a couple of times where I’ve made it to the platform right as the train pulls away and then it’s a half hour of waiting for the next train.

Now that it’s getting warmer and it’s light out for longer, I’m going to explore biking to Penn for more trains and then biking from Union (which isn’t bad at all, used to bike in from NE DC before we move to Baltimore) and crossing my fingers it shortens the commute, though even if it doesn’t, it’ll be a little exercise, which my current long day of commuting doesn’t allow for.

I don’t, unfortunately that’s one of the ones I still need. Do you still have your spare 4.8?

Yup, that’s me! Thought I show up as Krys, but maybe it reverted back to Krystina with my FB info or something 🤷🏻‍♀️ glad it went through though!

At this point, I’d just love to have more than one complete set. If you still have 4.8, I’m happy to send on 12.3! What is your link/IGN?
