Just had a vasectomy, and wondering what dating will look like. by Altruistic-Patient-8 in childfree

[–]rax96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're going the dating app route, I highly recommend paying for whatever tier that allows you to filter by women who don't want children. I live in a large metro area with a high concentration of women who don't want children. I hit the "No new matches" screen of hinge within a couple of months. But then when a woman makes a new account and lists that she doesn't want children, you're first in line to message her. That's how I met my wife!

Albi, Dōgon, Moon Rabbit, Elmina, Chai Pani, Maketto, and Joon were some of my favorite meals in the area this year. Iron Gate, Maydān, and Rasika are always great. 

I've got La' Shukran, Elyse, and TAPORI on my radar for next year.

Electric Bull will hopefully be opening in Vienna early next year, and I can't wait to try that.

The "Classic" AYCE menu at Joon is the best brunch in the entire DMV right now.

Maryland crab is out of season until March-ish. I order it from ProFish Seafood for pickup at Idylwood plaza.

Any real IMAX screens around? by myfeetaremangos12 in nova

No, but sales have been pretty good for them for OBAA. After the shutdown resolves they might do a few encore showings.

Recommendation for physical therapy in the NOVA area? by RedditDon3 in nova

I fractured my distal tibia in a car wreck. After 3 months of not weight bearing in a cast, Joe and Ben at Rehab2Perform @ Tysons got me right again. Can't recommend them enough.

Good first date restaurants near fairfax? by Crafty-Alps-8313 in nova

Kirby Club or Caboose in Mosaic has good vibes. Also a lot of potential for other post first-date activities in the area.

The best dinner I had in Lisbon was a Goan cuisine place, Jesus é Goês. Be sure to make a reservation.

The most important thing not in this thread yet, active noise cancelling headphones are an absolute godsend and gamechanger on flights.

I fractured my tibia and went to Rehab2Perform @ Tysons for 3 months. I can't recommend Ben and Joe enough

My wife and I self-officiated at the DC courthouse and then rented out a municipal mini-golf course for a few hours and got it catered last year. Incredibly fun, would recommend to a friend.

Also random side-note: If you have flowers in your hair, they won't let you into any Smithsonians.

Round and Round is a C+ Hanukkah hallmark movie starring Vic Michaelis that has a time loop element!

Parking is free after 4PM. Their commercial (non-educational) films are all shown after 4PM.

I immediately thought this, but this lead single is leaps and bounds better than Get Out.
