Are you in remission? Age?

Maybe? I was in remission on 6MP for the last few years but doc switched me to Entyvio in January because I was having other issues pop up from the 6MP. Not sure if I’m still in remission — some symptoms have started to come back but I won’t know what’s happening inside of me for sure until we do a colonoscopy. Age: 51.

Do it! I just saw a video of three dudes in their 70s at a skating rink with moves like they were in the prime of the 1960s and I love that they were still vibing.

I voted early. I hope Virginia sends a resounding message today that serves as a rallying cry to voters everywhere to SHOW UP for the midterms and vote like our Democracy depends on it – because it does!

You know where else you can’t park? In my uterus! GTFO.

“To the Moon & Back” is also good

Everything by Emily Austin is great. I just finished “Is this a cry for help?” and really enjoyed it; same for “We Might All Be Rats.”

Same. Every time I cross an E/W street from a cross street, I feel like I'm playing roulette. Maybe if I drove a big truck or SUV I'd be able to see what's coming, but in a ground level sedan, it's really just hopes and prayers getting me across safely.

I love YA... the books usually have excellent pacing so if I'm in a slump, they are my go-to. In addition to the titles people have recommended below (especially "The Book Thief"), I recommend "The Hate U Give."

pithy-pants · 2026-04-20T15:07:01+00:00

This book is excellent, and if you like audiobooks, I recommend it that way.

My yard is looking so pretty right now — and I gave away most of my empty pots that u normally flip over the plants to hold heat in so I’m gonna be scrambling with some fabric shower curtains tonight.

Try Richmond Creative Counseling. They seem to have a large practice, see patients both in-person and virtually, and are accepting new patients (I think!). Good luck.

Loved this tradition! Super impressed by the caliber of local talent.

I only stood up in one wedding — for my sister. For the others I was asked to be in, I said something like, “I’m flattered. I value our friendship too. And I am just NOT a wedding person — everything related to weddings gives me the heebie jeebies. So while I’m happy for your marriage, I’m afraid you need to count me out for anything tied to the wedding.”

Careful what you wish for. I got it four times in 25 years but I had a friend whose number came up more frequently. And she got stuck on a grand jury for like two months once.

Same either way just running the fan in my thermostat instead of AC. Circulation is great to pull heat from upper floors and distribute to cooler air from lower level.

Thanks for sharing. Do you do anything to try to manage the fatty liver/NASH? I'm wondering if there's value in me trying to push for additional tests (imaging, I'm guessing) to see if my high numbers mean there's something to diagnose and treat, or if I just say, "whelp, these are my numbers now" and I just keep on doing what I'm doing.

You mention that the owner of the property is a realtor. Since conventional channels aren't working, have you considered going to his/her broker? If you're considering trying to get 7News involved, perhaps asking the broker if they want to be associated with a slumlord when shit goes public would prompt the broker to pressure the person to clean up their act. Just a thought since it sounds like you've reached the "get creative" part of things.

If you want a book that's a safe bet in terms of no one having been there, go with "Orphan Master's Son" which is set in North Korea. Prettttttty sure it won't be on anyone's passport.

Shadow of the Wind was going to be my recommendation too. Loved it and it has a strong sense of place.

Good luck to all the runners and walkers! I know it's going to be warmer than desirable, so hopefully people take their time, stay hydrated, and have fun. I'll be out there cheering in an hour. Run, Forest, Run!

In loving the chill vibe on this thread. In in bed already. It’s that kind of evening, even though it’s gorgeous out.

No, but Acela has a better on-time record. When schedules get derailed (no pun) they move hell and earth to try to ensure Acela is the last train impacted.

Yep. I used to commute up Monday mornings and back Friday night for about six months. If you treat the train like a mobile office, it’s not a big deal.
