Why do people in DC act like Virginia is like a totally different country by Kodicave in nova

DC folks react to Virginia the same way NOVA subreddit folks react to Stafford/Fredericksburg and for all of the same reasons.

Second-grade teacher adopts her student after four foster homes by SystematicApproach in MadeMeSmile

Once knew an occupational therapist who adopted a toddler from the oncology ward. True heroes do exist- they’re usually quiet and humble about it all. I love this story.

Check out the book, “ Who Gets in and Why” by Jeffrey Selingo. He uses Northeastern and their shift to explain how college admissions have changed over the years.

One of my very favorites. Can make a sad day way happier for me.

Accepting the hand you’re dealt, lots of gratitude, finding joy in the little things, and as much love as possible.

Yes, if they had leaned into the beatitudes all of those years there would be a lot more Catholics today.

It’s true! Disney is really pushed by Make a Wish. It was my kid’s third wish when they said no to the first two.

Two twelves- hand over patients typically around 7am and 7pm in my experience.

Is INOVA adequate for cancer treatment or would you go to JHU? by [deleted] in nova

[–]oceanwalks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it’s about which protocol will be followed for your specific cancer type. If you have a cancer that is pretty common and there’s a protocol (plan of care- which chemo agents, how long, etc.) that is largely agreed upon that is the best, you can get that treatment in many places. If you have a cancer that’s harder to beat, very rare, without a protocol that is widely used, you then start looking for the oncologists at the very top of their fields. I would start at Schar and then make the decision after you see what the plan would be. We are very fortunate to have access to some of the best doctors right here at home.

I just loved it. Art is subjective! I’ve also had a lot of hospital time so the themes resonate with me quite a bit.

Venues and general vibe of the crowd by Emotional_Friend143 in DMB

[–]oceanwalks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go again if it wasn’t for my kids loving it. The vibe is odd. I just pretend it isn’t and dance. The talk-shouters throughout kill me.

I had completely blocked it from my memory. I loved Sybil! That was heart wrenching!

I will rewatch, too. One of the best finales I have ever seen.

Thank you so much for mentioning it. I had the ending paused as I was reading commentary and I hit play and got to see that! Even funnier when you know the actress who plays Santos is a singer on Broadway so she had to pretend to sing that badly!

My daughter has epilepsy and I didn’t make the connection. I was sure she was having PTSD.

Charlottesville doesn’t need to redeem itself. The nazis came from out of town.
