1920s house with new windows checking in, you're correct that they don't seem to make a lick of difference

The only other county in the Commonwealth is Arlington, and these two counties not only are able to select their own contractors, but have the equipment to do the work themselves for many projects...

Hot Water Baseboard Heat for the win! No one builds houses anymore with it because people think it’s an eye sore, but it’s best heating source! Mom’s visiting today, we’re making Swedish Cardamom Buns, Cinnamon rolls, a browned butter and chocolate Smith Island Cake for tomorrow, and some cookies for Santa.

I feel grateful to be relatively warm and with power this morning. I already left to run a last minute errand and hit up the grocery store. The Kroger by me was a mess this morning with frantic vibes. The entire meat wall (idk what you call it) had lost power overnight and all the product had been removed, so no steak for dinner tonight like we hoped. Thank you to everyone working today to keep the world turning. I'm sorry you had to but I definitely appreciate you.

Your pipes are probably frozen. The city only delivers cold water and that also supplies the water heater.

Brunch and gifts with husband’s side of the family, then traveling to MD for gifts and dinner tomorrow with my side of the family. Fingers crossed for an uneventful drive.

Oh I'm sure, it's fucked outside. Worked in restaurants for over a decade so this is the first time I've had weekend/holidays off. I was feelin for the folks that had to go to work today.

Hope he gets off early and y'all have a lovely Christmas 🤗

Sure didn't. Mistake #1

The City of Richmond isn’t good at administering much… to include roads

Sir, it’s not Dark Tylenol. That was so 90s. It’s now ‘Tylenol PM’

Did you leave your faucets dripping?

Which Lowe’s or market will this one be at?

I would recommend making an appointment for a bra fitting with Ruth at Kiss and Make Up. Once you know your correct size, you can shop there, at Blythe, or elsewhere. FWIW Kiss and Make Up carries some of the same brands as Blythe, but at a much lower price.

We're out of town until mid next week. Dunno how concerned to be about my pipes. Turned off water at valve in crawl space before we left, and left kitchen faucet open. Mainly concerned about the section of pipe upstream of the valve. If that freezes, bursts, then thaws, guess I'll have a flooded crawlspace and garage when we return. Put the main level thermostat at 72 last night, hope that heat transferred into the crawl space enough I guess...

Palmer is a founding member of an organization that sought to receive the dedicated state funding that was intended to care for the east end cemetery. Unfortunately, that organization didn’t have the resources or legal standing to receive the funding. When Enrichmond was recognized as the recipient of the funding, his organization sabotaged any attempt of cooperation with Enrichmond. While Enrichmond should never have been the financial and operational steward of the cemetery, the friends of east end did not help their own cause in this instance.

I always tell people how much I love black cats because it sounds cool and makes me seem particular about cats.

In reality I’m a super weird crazy cat lady and I love all of the cats. Every single one.

Dermatologist if it's somewhere on your body that you don't mind a scar. Plastic surgeon if you want it done as close to perfection as possible.

yeah, our house is only 20yo but these windows are leaky af. even with plastic on them.

I personally prefer Blythe over Kiss and Make up. At Blythe, you can shop the racks at your leisure and they‘ll bring you several different types of bras while you’re in the fitting room. Kiss and Make Up had piles of merchandise all over and the owner, though knowledgeable, wasn’t as personable as I expected.

I actually didn't read all of your comment and just ended at the first sentence, so clearly this is all a joke.

Shoutout to everyone driving an older car today (mines 20!) and is not loving the cold. My poor baby sounds rough. To make matters worse, I have to sit in the car because if I go back in to wait for it to warm up the kittens will think I’m back for playtime.

Watch out for ice yall!

Husband had to take my car bc his wouldn't even start this morning!

I have new windows. I dont think they make a huge difference lol. It's likely the 1890 house built directly on the ground with no insulation.....

Ruth (owner at Kiss and Make Up) is really great. Been there for many years & knows her stuff!!
