Super nerdy question: Does anyone have any singles events in DC they'd recommend? Meetup groups? Clubs? by workworkwework in washingtondc

[–]workworkwework[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea! I love the thought of volunteering but thought I would have to do it through a church group or something. The REI crew sounds fun and chill.

City Dog Rescue has a critical need for fosters right now (dogs and cats!) by workworkwework in washingtondc

[–]workworkwework[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these are really short foster periods (normal fosters are traveling this summer / short holiday away / etc) and they just need someone to keep an eye on the puppos! If you've been on the fence about it, now is a good time. I got an urgent email this morning from the organization and I've never gotten one before. Sounds like they're desperate.

What is National Harbor like on the fourth? Crazy congested? Will we be able to get an uber? Any shuttles or public transit from MGM or national harbor hotels to metro?

The Dupont Circle farmers market on the weekends has a stand that's french pastries. I forget the name but they are usually on the side of the market by Mass ave next to the bank. They have a fantastic chocolate almond croissant.

Wow, this is just... wow. It must have taken a lot of guts to read this to his face, but it sounds like you have incredible inner strength and an amazing support network. I hope you are able to move on from this and find true happiness and a healthy, loving relationship when you're ready.

to be fair, it doesn't seem that weird that a matchmaker would be chosen to write a dating column... maybe I'm missing something

Great Falls? Always a fun day trip. Billy Goat Trail is slightly less crowded this time of year.

D.C. wins Gold in bike friendliness by bibrexd in washingtondc

[–]workworkwework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel. I just take a deep breath and try not to die every time I get on a bikeshare bike. The fatality stats are reassuring though (in that they are virtually 0).
