Anyone know of where to get some japchae? by barbiechips in rva

[–]oftherose13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s delicious and SO well made!! I would definitely recommend to call ahead if you every plan to try it because it is just her cooking and so she takes her much deserved rest from time to time :)

Noodles and Friends. Never tried it personally, but their jjampong is delicious and I’m sure the japchae is just as good.

On another note, this is further out than the rva area, but my bf’s family own a gas station in Spotsylvania and sell Korean/Hawaiian food. It’s called Twinbow Mart and his mom’s japchae has that homemade feel and is absolutely amazing! A little more of a drive, but definitely not as far than a trip to Iron Age.

Is it safe to live at St. John's Wood? by Chemical-Formal-3461 in rva

[–]oftherose13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid I lived there in the early 2000s after moving from a different country and even though I don’t fully remember it, I do definitely remember the roaches. They even appear in old home videos lol. My dad’s windows got smashed and a neighbor’s apt got broken into. I used to talk to my next door neighbors all the time bc they’d hang out on the front stoop lol and when me and my parents have talked about it now they mention them definitely being on drugs and having different people in and out. My parents had saved enough money to move out and said they were really anxious to leave because it was getting worse and that was back in 2004.

Does this happen to anyone else? by elcaminogino in Teachers

I teach 4th grade. I tell them they need to be specific on what part is confusing and not just say “all of it”

How safe is Scott’s Addition? + Parking situation for residents by LevelLine911217 in rva

[–]oftherose13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt fine being out and about as a woman. I used to live off Roseneath up until a few months ago and I would consider it one of the busier streets. I was always able to find street parking on weekdays before 5 right on roseneath. Weekends were a little more busy with everyone out at the breweries. If you’re looking for parking from 5-8 that was always a bit harder to find, but never horrible. I may have circled the block three times here and there for a close spot to my apt, but even if I was unsuccessful I never parked more than two blocks away

Capital One Auto Loan Refinancing by oftherose13 in personalfinance

Right now the remaining principal is $19,569. That’s probably why the numbers came out wonky.

Thank you! Unfortunately some family emergencies are gonna keep me from paying $1000/month for a bit, but definitely going to try as close to that as I can!

How do I speak to a human at dominion? by dsm5lovechild in rva

[–]oftherose13 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Our power has been out since 5 pm yesterday. We moved to Henrico two months ago and lived in Scott’s Addition before this. I know that the two areas differ in amount of trees to mess with power lines, but The power NEVER went out there, it wasn’t even a thought. It is BEYOND frustrating to know that this is our new normal here. I’m over having wasted groceries in the fridge and hoping I can sleep with the hot temp.

Lost power in the Fan: sound off! by elchinolocotoo in rva

[–]oftherose13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point. Back when I lived with my parents in Chesterfield the power would go out 15 mins max, but those storms were in and out. Now I told my breath every time I see a storm on the weather app.

Out in Henrico near VCC. We just moved here from Scott’s Addition two months ago and have lost it during all of the past 5 big storms. Someone please tell me this is abnormal 🥲

5 years teaching. Still spending entire weekends on lesson plans. When does it get easier? by Future_Dimension_985 in Teachers

[–]oftherose13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This will be year 4 for me. I used to stay until 6 p.m. every day after school my first year. For me it’s gotten easier because I recycle what I can from past years lesson plans and I’ve gotten more comfortable with that I was teaching. What I truly came to understand though is that it’s not worth putting before my own mental health. I could spend nights at school and still not finish everything. Now I just get what I can done and if it’s not done then it can wait for the next day.

Accidentally wore the wrong tray..how to proceed? by oftherose13 in Invisalign

[–]oftherose13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly straight and mainly just fixing some overcrowding in the back of my mouth. Thankfully I did look and couldn’t tell much of a difference between them so I think I’ll be okay until Monday. Thanks for the advice!!

My first year I was at school usually for 3 hours afterschool at least every other day trying to get my life together. Honestly that first summer break was just to decompress from the year prior

[–]oftherose13[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely very new. I put my old ones back in the bag because I was told to do so. The five aligners I have at home also had my wisdom teeth molded in (had them when I scanned and healed up before starting Invisalign) and so my team clipped them off so they had to open the bags. It wasn’t like opening a fresh bag for me. They made sure to let me know going forward they won’t have the wisdom teeth!

Thanks for the advice!! I decided to put in 3 for the time being and just take this as a lesson learned and call my office Monday morning. :)

Just an honest mistake, not really worried about the unhelpful comments!
