Was loading the car with presents this morning to head up north to see family, then felt like I just wanted to crawl back into bed. Took two COVID tests and both were positive. Brought said presents back inside and spending Christmas at home instead of family. Trying to make the best of the situation by making a list of movies/video games to watch and play, and loading up on healthy food.

As weird as it is to have a stranger walk up to you and offer such services, I have to say that one of my best fitting experiences was at the Dilliard’s in Short Pump. I was having a lot of problems finding the right fit after having surgery. I started to get frustrated to the point of tears, and this sweetheart came up to me and offered to help. She was so understanding and kind, and I got the most perfect fit with her help. That damn bra was $75, but it was worth it. All I remember about that awesome lady was that she was a tall lady in her 40s with brown hair. Bless that woman!

I would definitely expect a heat pump system installed in our area to have electric backup heat. If that's not coming on, then you may have a thermostat/control problem. Def get someone to check it out, but good luck doing that during this cold snap :(

A woman came up to me at Kroger in Willow Lawn, many years ago, and handed me he card. She was a bra fitter at Dillards, apparently she could tell just looking at me in my clothes! Also, a woman came up to me in line at Costco once and told me if I came to her house that she would wax my eyebrows for $5. I guess that I am approachable with Caterpillar eyebrows and saggy boobs!

Ah, now I see what you mean.

My understanding is that VDOT is responsible for maintaining all roads across the Commonwealth, including in counties, except in Henrico and Arlington and independent cities (like Richmond) and towns.

I only recall seeing "End of VDOT Road Maintenance" (maybe in slightly different wording) when I enter Henrico County from the surrounding areas.

At least from this page on VDOT's "Report a Road Problem" page, it says (emphasis mine):

>Note: VDOT does not maintain roads in cities, towns, or in Henrico and Arlington counties, except for interstates and major primary roads.
>
>VDOT does not maintain all sidewalks, or pedestrian or bike paths. Some may be maintained by localities.

Interesting. Today I learned.

However VDOT also states that they don't maintain roads in cities and towns (town are inside counties, and most Virginia cities are independent, thus responsible for their own stuff (like the City of Richmond.)

>Note: VDOT does not maintain roads in cities, towns, or in Henrico and Arlington counties, except for interstates and major primary roads. VDOT does not maintain all sidewalks, or pedestrian or bike paths. Some may be maintained by localities. Please submit a separate report for each request.
