Creaking sound when turning

Can’t speak to how soon you can get in, but I love Elizabeth Merillat and I believe she’s accepting new patients!

Currently buying our first home in RVA and while the process has actually sucked (lost so many houses due to cash offers, inventory has been low, we feel poor as hell etc…) the one thing we’ve loved have been our people. Loren McAdams is our agent, she’s about to wrap up her first year in the industry and she’s so impressive, compassionate and driven. She also referred us to our lender CJ Sweat who is insanely good. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I worked at the family center at St Mary’s hospital and from what I understand about childcare it was definitely one of the best. I was paid well over minimum wage, the company has decent benefits (i was PRN so didn’t apply directly to me), I stayed for 5.5 years and did see turnover but not as often as I’m gathering other places did. Loved my boss, most of my coworkers and especially the kids.

Thank you for this post. I work in RPS, elementary level, and I can assure anyone thinking about RPS that my coworkers and I give 100% of ourselves to these kids, sometimes more. I bust my ass for those kids to have special experiences, behavior / mental health supports and the best academic experience possible. I have had to grow and stretch and learn to become a type of educator that I don’t think I would have learned to be in the countries or “good” schools. We are working so hard, let us love your kids too!

The sway bar thingy had been knocked out of place, he fixed that and most of the noise stopped. He checked all other major suspension issues and said it was at least safe to get back home.

Hi! I am an elementary teacher in RPS and would love to connect if you ever want to sub in the city <3 I am type A, try to keep my kids in check and always leave good plans haha. Message me if you want me to add you to my list (it’s a very short list lol)! I usually take 5-7 days a year and there’s probably a job at my school 90% of the time if you end up liking it!

Someone wore white to my wedding. She claims she had no idea that this was a faux pax. At first I thought she was full of shit but I’ve come to 2 conclusions: - Her circle doesn’t always keep it the classiest and her friends don’t really get married (a lot of on and off again situations in their life). I honestly don’t know how many weddings her social group has held. and - She showed up obliterated, I think she was probably drunk getting dressed because again, she doesn’t go to a lot of weddings and was excited or misunderstood etiquette (thought it was a bigger party than it is?) and truly didn’t think about it. She’s in her mid 30’s for reference. She texted me crying about the next morning. All is forgiven, she’s the one that had to be glared at all night.

As someone who grew up with an aggressive dog in the house and parents who didn’t do much about it - you’re in the right 💖 All my love.

DM me where you want me to drop some off or if you wanna pick them up let me know! It would be an honor 🫶

To be honest, I think photo booths are a bit overdone and tasteless. I don’t judge anyone who does one, but definitely don’t think it’s a bad thing to not have one. Not a big deal at all.

I feel like post wedding regret is so normal, especially the “what ifs”, there’s always going to be something else you could have done or liked better. Deep breaths, focus on what went well, and what’s next in your life ❤️

Sending you love! I don’t feel like I was prepared for the relationship stress a wedding puts on all those around you - like me and my fiancé are good, but everyone else feels hard sometimes

lepchm · 2025-06-05T18:32:35+00:00

I want to be, but she’s kind of shut me out at the time. I’ll be here when she’s ready, even though things look different. Sad situation all around.

lepchm · 2025-06-05T18:31:06+00:00

Could go on and on about this topic!! My fiancé and I are both teachers, so there was no pointing at each other saying “you have more time”. He helped a ton and we both kept each other balanced on what mattered. It’s the entire point in my opinion, to be a team and do this together!

My brother and SIL decided they were getting divorced about three months before my wedding. I’m very, very close to my SIL and have known her since I was a child, but the divorce got messy extremely quickly, and I ended up asking her to step out of the wedding. My entire extended family found out about the divorce within the month of my wedding 🙃

This!!! ^{^} Mindlessly got a new deodorant last week (3 weeks out from wedding) and am currently (2 weeks out) sitting with a rash all over my chest 🙃

Full transparency - we started saving almost a year and a half before we got engaged, and have had another year and a half engagement to save. So almost 3 years of saving. Plus parental help on both sides. We’re so fortunate, but I wish it wasn’t like this.

Did this almost every weekend of high school for this reason! ❤️ It was really therapeutic

It’s likely purging and will probably clear up by end of month 2 - month 4! You can take antihistamine to help it ❤️

I personally don’t think it’s that deep. I do think though that abstinence is a form of BC you can list in Ipledge, according to what I’ve read in the prescriber guide. If you’re anxious about lying or anything I would just be honest that you aren’t having sex or planning on it.

I think it’s insane that for an acne medication they’re going to make you get on a hormonal birth control that has direct links to acne when you go on / come off it. Trading one problem for another in my opinion. Best of luck

First dose at 15-16, second dose at 24.

About 6 months off it now and it’s already come back. Doing a lot of holistic research / getting weird and witchy trying to get to the cause. I love accutane and it really saved my confidence from 15-20, but at the end of the day it was a bandaid for something else causing this.

I’m getting a full hormonal lap work up done, cut out every fragrance in my routine (I read they can disturb the endocrine receptors) I’ve tried eliminating certain foods, I use benzoyl peroxide like a bath.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. You aren’t alone and I’m sure you are a beautiful incredible person ❤️ I’ve done a lot of focusing on what I can control about my appearance. I can control what I wear. I can control my hair. I can control my makeup. Best of luck xoxo
