I second this, especially if you need bigger cup sizes that traditional bra stores do not have. I learned so much about my size and how bras should fit from the lady I worked with at Blythe.

Very true! I’m married to one!! We spoke our vows at St Mary’s 25 years ago and she and my son often volunteered at the church for events.

St James is super cool and chill. Any member who speaks the language would be more than happy to help you! No religion needs to be in the way.

I don’t even think we mill the roads when we resurface them in the city. Add in 100 year old infrastructure with all the old pipes and rails and stuff. Along with a virtually non-existent tax base to keep up maintenance for roughly 40 years and a bunch of ass clowns at city hall pissing away the new revenue, you too can have significantly worse roads than your municipal counterparts.

1951 house here. We had all of our original single-pane windows replaced by Window World last fall and they made a huge difference.
Before, I could stand next to windows and immediately feel hot or cold depending on the season. Now, I can put your hand right up to them and barely feel a difference in full sunlight during the summer or this morning when it was 10º.
11 windows replaced plus a brand new front door for $6,500. Took them about 3 hours from start to finish. Oh, and a lifetime warranty (as long as Window World is in business, of course). Def recommend.
The best bonus is that we can not only open the windows with one finger (when unlocked, of course) instead of wrestling with them each time and we can wash both sides from inside the house because they slide around and rotate in!
Other than that, our walls are cold at the moment, but slightly less than it was last year because we recently had Window World replace our aluminum siding with vinyl siding that includes 1" of styrofoam insulation.

Again, whut? Am I missing some subtle English syntax here?
Counties and independent cities in Virginia maintain their own stuff, not VDOT.
Fairfax country maintains it's own roads. Rockbridge county maintains its own roads, etc, etc, as is done across the state.

A perky outlook on life will help you get some bounce back in your step.

I think they're saying "the only other county in the Commonwealth [that maintains their own roads] is Arlington"

>The only other county in the Commonwealth is Arlington,
Whut? This isn't accurate. There are 95 counties and 38 independent cities in Virginia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_and_counties_in_Virginia
Each one of those counties has its own county seat and county government. Independent cities are equivalent to counties and also have their own governments, budgets, courthouses and city managers/government. And they all maintain their own stuff.

100yr old house checking in, with poor insulation, so curtains and blinds closed, blankets and towels at windowsills and door jams. 2 burner camping stove on standby. All spigots are dripping, I’m sporting longjohns and will venture outside to feed birds and tree rats, and attempt covering the drafty ac window unit, but Irish coffee first.

VDOT maintains interstates and state routes. Most streets (and schools, government, infrastructure) inside a town or city are maintained by the county or city in which they exist.

Are you doing OK? We'll be out and about for a bit and could drop off extra blankets or something if you are in need! I might even have a heated blanket

Yes, but not from any State property, including all of VCUs and and state governments holdings.
But our city roads are bad because of years of neglect and mismanagement. Believe it or not, they're somewhat improved over what they used to be just a few years ago.

My dermatologist did a biopsy of a mole on my stomach thay they were concerned about. It came back pre-cancerous, so they referred me to a plastic surgeon to get it completely removed. They referred me to the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery.

What about the buildings that people are working in, does the city get property taxes from those?

Richmond doesn’t get their taxes despite most of them working in the city.

You speak with much wisdom. I don’t think it has electric backup, but I have 3 space heaters. I’m assuming a visit from the company that installed it is in order. It’s 53 downstairs.
Edit: Called heat pump “company” expecting to leave a VM about coming by next week. The recording said “My truck is broken. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Byeeeee!”

I used this to find my actual size, then can usually find good bras at Macy's or Dillards.
