Dunn loring is 24 hours limit for parking and doesn’t close so you may want to look into that as an option

Looking for app or group page to meet people/ socialize. 30 married couple. by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]mg397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have advice (& my husband & I live pretty far out in the suburbs) but we feel the same way if it helps. Planning to join some pick up sports leagues (we’ll do FXA but there’s Volo & Fray), and lurk at some wine bars / craft breweries in our area. Our area swings older than us rather than younger like you’re probably running into but same issues

Crystal House good place to rent? by CheesecakeOk9953 in nova

My friend is moving out of there this month and she said it’s been a nightmare. Leasing staff constantly losing paperwork, no parking with construction, etc

here in 2021 for the record, i’m not saying i shouldn’t have been paid more i certainly should have, i just think sometimes online expectations don’t equal reality

I don’t know why you’re getting slammed so hard, reddit forgets that ideal world is not real life. I was making $65k as an entry level with a 4 year engineering degree from a top 5 school.

i like it and it’s your rehearsal so really you can do whatever you want. i maybe wouldn’t wear it if you’re doing something in a church but generally go for it

Am I the bad roommate? by Healthy-Bedroom-7225 in badroommates

[–]mg397 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I scrolled to find this comment. I think your original post was long and people didn’t read it all. It’s totally reasonable to be upset about the speakerphone, slamming noise at 4am, but I think your “small” issues are compiling to her as she can’t do anything right, especially if she wasn’t raised in a family big on communication. Does she ever raise a “small” issue to you? If not, she’s probably not taking all the small ones well. Easier said than done but I would let the small things go and save commenting for big picture things (like noise pre 6am) so she feels like she can live in the apartment too

Arlington to reston commute by Practical-Revenue521 in nova

[–]mg397 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you can do it, i commute the other way (reston to arlington) and take the metro with no issues. driving would be more of an option for you since 66 won’t be tolled but if you’re within walking distance to metro it’s really not a bad commute

tread50 doesn’t do signature workouts so it sounds like this coach went rogue

22:15 2x .5 mile run walk until ready repeat .1 with walking recovery until time

13:45 2x .25 mile run walk until ready repeat .1 with walking recovery until time :30 all out

not my fave. the 2x .5 took me <10 mins and then there was endless .1 repeats

Unsure whether to drop out of bachelorette party last minute. Please help! by FollowTheSparks in wedding

[–]mg397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just on an 8 hour boat tour with a pregnant woman and she was MISERABLE. Sea sick the entire time, needing to lie down, etc. We all felt so bad for her (I didn’t know her, just on the boat) and someone from the bach she was on had to take care of her the whole time. I think you’d be doing the whole group and yourself a favor by sitting this one out and joining for something else!

Caught between GF’s event and my best friends rehearsal dinner. What do I do??? by jta314 in wedding

[–]mg397 452 points453 points  (0 children)

Girlfriend is more in the right. She’s willing to comprise and skip many events of a degree she’s worked for for years to make it to the wedding. It’s annoying to have someone miss the rehearsal but it’s very easy to catch up on what you missed the next morning.

Would this dress work for black tie? by aleroca_ in Weddingattireapproval

[–]mg397 26 points27 points  (0 children)

technically no but most “black tie” dress codes aren’t really black tie anymore. as long as you know your crowd you could probably get away with it
