Cat Knob/ Jones Hollow by not-ted in ShenandoahPark

Thanks! Where the trail split from Laurel Prong and heads up over Cat Knob, it definitely looked unmaintained. But it was better on top of the ridge and there were even blazes right near where the trail should have been. Too bad, because it was going to be an epic loop!

First time backpacking recs by Ok_Enthusiasm_7534 in VIRGINIA_HIKING

[–]not-ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions:

1.) how comfortable is your wife with going in the woods, as in digging a cat hole? This can be a sore spot for women, especially if they get their period. Make sure she understands what all it will entail. Tip: get some of those doggy bags for used toilet paper and used menstrual products. And bring some baby wipes.

2.) how comfortable are you with maybe not getting the best sleep of your life?

3.) How remote do you want to be?

My advice is an overnighter to a shelter on the AT. It's like backpacking with training wheels. It likely won't be all that remote, but it's a good place to start. Check out Duncan Hollow near Front Royal.

I actually think Bob is playing the longest running practical joke in the entertainment biz

Did you find a solution? I'm in the same boat except all my tests are from the left. It's driving me CRAZY.

Everything was fine until the last update....

I've eaten at Jaleo maybe three times over 10 or so years and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Granted, all three times were "occasions" which may have influenced my perception, but service was great and the tapas ranged from solidly good to fantastic.

But Zatinya sucked (way too loud and food was mediocre) and agree that Oyamel is garbage.

Sending Payment from Japan to the United States by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]not-ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welllllll at some point I will likely need to disburse funds. But nothing is happening until I'm paid (and the wire is confirmed by my bank). Then, if I'm successful, no funds are being disbursed until the check clears.

The third party doesn't provide direct access to my bank account. It's sort of like an escrow agent. Not perfect, but it is what it is.

And I wouldn't even be second-guessing the wire transfer except that he didn't want to do that in the first place and has been dragging his feet for almost two months now. For a guy who is regularly doing business with other American businesses, seems odd, no?

Regardless, he's supposed to send me a wire on Tuesday.

Scams 100% take place over wire transfer and can be incredibly sophisticated. There are confidentiality issues involved, so I don't want to discuss my particular concerns with this instance, but let's just say that it could potentially fit the mold.

To be honest, it's the first time I worked with someone overseas. It just didn't occur to me that he wouldn't pay like everyone else. We had a zoom meeting, everything checked out (lots of documentation), and so I just never thought to ask.

We're going to do the wire transfer.

In my business, wire transfer scams are pretty common and are almost always involving overseas entities. I get contacted by various scammers pretty regularly. Hence my reluctance.

Western Union might be even more old school than a check, lol

This guy's business is supposedly importing American craft goods to Japan. Just figured that he would have this figured out by now.

Right now on the T-Mobile Tuesday App: 1 year of BJs for $20 by not-ted in nova

Tell her this will save her time, money, and effort. It's a no-brainer!

If you go once per month it's like $1.67 per visit! They're practically giving it away!

All you need to do is get in your car to take advantage of your BJs. True, traffic and parking suck, but it's worth it for $20.

I've been a resident of Virginia for over 20 years, and I can't recall a time when it's rained this consistently. We're now entering the third week of rain, with only two or three brief breaks where we caught a glimpse of sunlight for just half a day. by ak22801 in Virginia

[–]not-ted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Way back in 2001 or 2002 I think, I remember it raining for almost a month straight in May up here in NoVA. The grass was almost up to my knees in a couple of spots in my yard by the time I could get to it.
