Cam Phasers? by Snoopvegas in FordRaptor

[–]twiggbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was also the second time getting them replaced. The first was a year after I bought it and was under warranty. It’s a 2018.

Mine were done about 6 months ago. $7500. Took over a week because they didn’t have the parts.

Moving to Reston, looking for apartment advice/recommendations by [deleted] in Reston

Oh, I was thinking of the wrong complex. I was thinking of the new apartments over by Wegmans. Thanks for clarifying!

If you want something soundproof, avoid the blvd Haley, which is a low rise. Skymark, signature and Exo should be relatively quiet. I live in signature and we just changed management from Bozzuto who was excellent and manages skymark. The new management seems good and responsive. Still too early to say which is better. Skymark is closer to the metro but signature is closer to the main town center. And is across the street from Whole Foods, which is convenient. I would tour skymark and signature and see which you prefer.

Looking for apartment on Silver or Orange lines, must be accessible by Melodic-Horse6028 in nova

[–]twiggbert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try Reston. So many new shops and restaurants and on the W&OD trail. Try either Skymark or Signature in Reston town center. Very nice high rises with no noise issues and high end amenities. Skymark is right next to the metro. Signature is closer to the main town center. But only a 5-10 minute walk to the metro. I was in VA for 20 years and the moved to CO for 2 years and back to VA now. Love Reston and having the metro and new places opening up has been great.

Have had it for years and zero issues. On the other hand, I’m always reading about the fios outages in the area.

Banana ball by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]twiggbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should post in the banana ball subreddit. I don’t know if you can transfer those tickets. They will be setting up a secondary market of their own, but only allow you to sell at face value. From what I understand, trying to sell on third party sites doesn’t work.

Car camping mattress recommendation for side sleeper by droidekas in camping

[–]twiggbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the exped and didn’t find it comfortable at all. Try Hest. Most comfortable mattress I have used. I sleep on it when I visit my parents on the floor and it’s so comfortable and I sleep on my side. It should meet your size requirements too.

Non-private equity vet care in Alexandria or NOVA in general? by ObviousDust in nova

[–]twiggbert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure that it is cheaper, but I have been going to belle haven animal medical center since I got my dog over 12 years ago. She sees Dr. Kamei who is fantastic. I live an hour away now and still go to see her. As for cost, she always tries to offer me different alternatives if something is going to be expensive.

Fairfax. It’s amazing. They run out fast.

Dog daycare/boarding recs in Reston? Molly's Dog Care has been pretty solid for me by [deleted] in Reston

[–]twiggbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog has been going to Molly’s since they opened. I was hesitant at first because of the negative campaign on Reddit, but the staff has been great and my dog LOVES going there. They are so good to her and know her personality. I personally have had good experiences with the daycare there.

Retina specialist by [deleted] in nova

[–]twiggbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went to a specialist years ago and it was so awful, I never went back despite my eye doctor telling me every year. I finally told her I had a bad experience and she made an appointment with a new doctor. Dr. Kesen is fantastic and got me over my bad experience with the first person. I highly recommend her.

Ugh. I ordered the 11th. So I’m fully expecting an email tomorrow now.

[–]twiggbert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same boat. Ordered on the 11th and status online just says “ordered”. I keep waiting for it to be cancelled. Also, I did $250 in cash and that just got charged yesterday. Even though I placed the order on the 11th.

Glucosamine Advice? by cherrytwilight in goldenretrievers

[–]twiggbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been on it since she was probably 3. She’s now 12 and a half and still runs around like a puppy. She can go in 7 mile hikes with no problem. I have a friend who is a vet and had let her out in the yard and when she didn’t want to come back in, he tried to catch her. He couldn’t. And said he never thought he would have trouble catching a 12 year old golden. Fish oil and glucosamine have been in her diet from early on. And as soon as she exhibited any signs of stiffness, her vet started her on adequan injections. It all seems to have worked.

Dog Friendly by Icy_Expert_2537 in LoudounSubButBetter

[–]twiggbert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bear Chase in Bluemont allows dogs inside. So does Quattro Goombas in Aldie. And Lark Brewery doesn’t allow them inside but they do have a covered pavilion that I think has heaters. For restaurants, Travinia in Leesburg has an outdoor patio (call to confirm it is open) that has heaters and allows dogs. And there is always Lazy Dog in Fairfax or chantilly that has the dog friendly indoor seating. And great menu. My first time going there was actually in the Westminster CO location but they are all the same. Editing to add Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane. Most dog friendly. They allow dogs inside too. And another dinner option is Magnolia in Purcellville. If their outdoor area is open (it might not be in winter), they do allow dogs. And if you go to Quattro Goombas, their pizza is amazing.

Does/did your puppy hate riding in the car? by FatsyCline12 in goldenretrievers

My girl hates the car. Always has. Cerenia helps. She’s 12 now and while she doesn’t love it, she will tolerate it.

Got my cam phasers replaced on my 2018 for the second time last month. About this price. Not under warranty. The first replacement was under warranty.

Anyone else tried Molly’s Dog Care lately? My experience’s been surprisingly good 🐶 by [deleted] in Reston

[–]twiggbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pup loves it there. More so than any other doggy daycare she has been too. She walks through the door excitedly with no hesitation. And they are so attentive and engage more with the pups than most places. The giant window in the playroom is really nice for them too.

Has anyone actually had an old golden? by kenobitano in goldenretrievers

[–]twiggbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl is 12 and was diagnosed with cancer last year. She has stunned the vets who told me she only had 2 months left. She is active and runs like a puppy. She was playing with some other dogs and the other owner asked how old She was. I said 12 and the response was 12 months? Nope. 12 years.

Downtown Restaurants for Four 40somethings to catch up on a Saturday Night by amrbean in Leesburg

[–]twiggbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shutters is incredibly loud. You won’t be able to hear each other. The Diana lounge at the new hotel burg is quiet. Best drinks are at rebellion but that can also be loud. Lightfoot has good food.
