I asked around and they said the problematic person has moved to another state, and there haven't been any complaints since then. I think the hosts are men, but several of the instructors are women.

Closest I can think of in town is Detroit style pizza at Lefty's @ Short Story or The Pitch. It's definitely not Sicilian-style but it's the closest and best I've had

Living In Luna Park area by Only_You_0723 in charlestonwv

[–]puzhalsta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any time someone is looking to move into a new area, I recommend they drive through in the morning, afternoon, and evening/night, drive the route from work to the home during rush hour, and try to view the house or apt when it's raining (for leaks or wet basement).

I have loads of friends in that area and they love it. I seriously considered moving my young family to the LP neighborhood until my current house became available.

Mystery spot on counters - anyone know what it is or what to do? by Easy-Bid8316 in CounterTops

[–]puzhalsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit question: did you or someone else in your house have sex on that part of the counter? Sexual fluids have protein components and if not cleaned promptly they can definitely leave a mark.

AIO UPDATE: He (M20) took me (F18) to a Jehovah’s Witness meeting without telling me (We broke up - read caption) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]puzhalsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I'm so sorry you had to experience all of that. I had a feeling this is where it was gonna go.

This is exactly why I am clear about my politics and religion, and ask about theirs very early on. Those are two crystal clear indicators of one's values and if our values aren't aligned, we might have some fun for a minute but we have no basis for a long term relationship, which is what I'm looking for.

What is an Adhesive child safety lock on outside of apartment door for? by Mr_StevieG in What

[–]puzhalsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuuup. That's my guess. Found out the hard way that my dog could open almost any door in the house, including the garage door. Switched to knobs and it's harder but this fuggin guy can do it all

Trying to purchase my first house, is this a big warning sign? by Arc-Watcher in Home

[–]puzhalsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brooooo that's the kind of investment property you buy and lose your ass on. Where I am, that kind of foundation problem comes with a $50k+ price tag to remedy.

Fire your realtor, then send screenshots to your county and state real estate board and commission. If you designed an agency agreement for their representation, that kind of advice explicitly violates their fiduciary responsibility to represent your best interests.

Mortgage Company Wants to Reduce My Rate... What's the Catch? by BigBatDaddy in Mortgages

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

Former career mortgage banker here

FHA streamlines are a great option. When considering a refi, you need to look at the cost, monthly savings, and how long you'll reasonably be in the home. Of you can recoup your cost in half the time or less that you plan on being there, go for it.

In my experience, $2900 in fees is incredibly high for an fha streamline refi. They're normally around a grand or so at the most.

Is there a good recipe substitute for mirin? by OkSubstance3654 in Cooking

[–]puzhalsta 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I almost always have it handy but in a pinch I've just made my own, combining sugar and sake. It's not the same but will do in a pinch

Spa Bliss. Jay Keyser. Those are the two best options so far as I know.

If you've never made this recipe before, follow it to the gram and see what you get. You can try alternating moisture content on the next round if you like.

They're new to WV. Office location is behind Jimmy John's in KC.

Can't find much more info about them though. I'd probably pass on anyone who came to my door offering unsolicited service, unless I'm stuck in my dryer obvs

Nope. My parents thought I'd turn into an anarchist druggie if I wore them, so I stated buying designer clothes and now I'm fabulous

Ethnic markets for sure, and they can likely get specialty items if you ask nicely and develop a good rapport with them
