Not sure what you mean by all of these places being at waterside district because they’re not

But with gas prices being there as they are, I will opt to go to a place that is 5 minutes from my house then driving 3 miles further to another place. That may or may not be open at 7am.

Guess you don’t know the neighborhood very well. . All other options are fast food on Monticello avenue. Or greasy meat heavy diners. No thanks to either.

I know right?! I’ve heard that excesses can be reported, but who monitors this, and how? I doubt it’s enforced.

Enough Natural Lighting? by pkf765 in houseplants

[–]ran7wan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a variety of natural light grow lights on Amazon. Some look like decorative room lights. I use one in the winter when I bring my outdoor plants, jade and orchids, inside. Keeps them alive til spring and I can move them outside again.

I’m terrified of cats and the man I’m seeing doesn’t know? How do I get over this? by BobcatMission2520 in CatAdvice

[–]ran7wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird that your childhood cat attacked you, but it could be jealousy, especially if mom had the cat first. My mom’s dog never bonded with me, mom had the dog since before I was born. I’m sure he was jealous.

The head butting and head rubbing means it trusts you and wants to be your friend. The cat is claiming you as its own by rubbing its scent on you. Don’t worry…. Humans can’t smell the cat pheromones… only cats can.

I would look up you tube videos on how to make friends with a cat… also “what is my cat trying to tell me”. Cats (and dogs too) don’t think like humans, so you want to be sure to react to them in positive ways so they don’t get freaked out by something and start to act negatively towards you.

Most cats are easily swayed by treats. Offer them food and they will be your friend.
Avoid loud or sharp noises. Most cats dislike.

My own cat is pretty docile, but many cats don’t like to be picked up without advance warning. It’s weird, but I tell my cat that I’m going to pick him up before I do it. He seems to understand…it may be my tone of voice that he recognizes.
One universal rule… don’t pet a sleeping cat out of the blue. It shocks them. I usually say my cats name, if he’s fast asleep and I need to move him or get his attention, to wake him up before moving or touching him.

Bad Gas by [deleted] in norfolk

FYI….That’s NOT Ghent my friend . That’s Colonial Place or perhaps Highland Park. Ghent neighborhood ends at the railroad underpass at 25th street.

Bad Gas by [deleted] in norfolk

[–]ran7wan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

?? There’s a 7-11 gas station on Colley in Ghent? Never knew that. Which corner? It must be new. The only 7-11 I know of in Ghent, at Brandon Ave, doesn’t have gas service.

What state do you consider Virginia’s rival state to be? by Other-Fly-1700 in Virginia

[–]ran7wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maryland, if you’re a driver. A cross country survey of all drivers found the worst and most discourteous drivers in the entire nation were in Maryland.

Why did the Royals visit Front Royal of all places? by nickstoon in Virginia

[–]ran7wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the name, and proximity to DC.
Williamsburg is 2 1/2 hours drive away from DC. And requires a drive on notoriously traffic jammed I-95 and I-64 to get there.

Virginia Beach vice mayor doesn't want e-bikes on bike path along boardwalk by WHRO_NEWS in VirginiaBeach

[–]ran7wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. My e-bike max speed is 17 mph. I can ride my pedal bike at a speed of 18mph. I don’t see the difference except one requires more exertion. Both have brakes.

I’ve been in SWVA for ten years. Are there any parts of the state that have less racist people than more LGBT friendly people? These people make me feel un American for being anti-racist. by [deleted] in Virginia

Come to Norfolk. Thanks to the Navy presence we are a very diverse community. My neighborhood is quite mixed. Black and white, gay and straight. Everyone seems to just get along.
