So without knowing your ages and interests, my initial suggestion would be to do one of the larger group rafting trips with a guide down the James..

It's something you both might not have done before, and it's a view of the city you seem to both love

Hope this helps :)

How about a drive-thru “fix everything about me.” Ok so check it: you roll up, windows down, and a team of dental hygienists , hairstylists, and nail techs lean/climb in and whiten your teeth, shampoo/cut/style your hair and or beard, and give you a manicure/pedicure. I still haven’t figured out how all this can happen in the average-sized car or SUV, but think of the time it would save!

The awkward small talk with the stylists/aestheticians isn’t necessarily because of the work going on in your mouth.

The liquor store at 4018 Glenside Dr. may as well have a drive through considering the high numbers of lazy sobs who park in the fire lane in front of the store to grab a jug of booze. Harrumph.

I don’t know the answer to your question but as the owner of a siamese boi, please make sure you acquaint yourself with the breed a little if you haven’t already. they are gorgeous angels however, they are very unique cats that can be too much for some people. especially if they don’t know what they’re getting into ahead of time.

I'm guessing that you have a heat pump or some other form of electric heat, and this bill may cover the days when the artic blast hit before Christmas. When it gets that cold out, heat pumps will struggle to keep the temperature up, and will kick on the Emergency/Aux Electric Resistant Heat, and depending on the size of that E/Aux heat, it can consume a massive amount of power. I should be getting my bill any day now that covers that time, and I'm not looking forward to it...

I've just finished listening to the podcasts Uncanny and The Battersea Poltergeist, and now listening to The Witch Farm. All BBC productions with the same (amazing) host, and I am super spooked. My SO keeps "sneaking up" on me by walking into the room, lol, poor guy. I can't imagine having an actual Casper. Would you be willing to share some more stories? I am fascinated. Do you have any idea about the history of the house and who/what might be there and why? I am assuming friendliness since you've named it/them Casper.

We live in the same building—hi neighbor. I’ve contacted them several times about all of this this week and have gotten no help, just typically lip service. I’ve also complained about the trash that hasn’t been picked up in two weeks to no avail. Happy to connect with you individually if you want to join forces on this. I’m a policy analyst and have some connections that might be useful.
