when I was a teenager I had a boyfriend from Lithuania. the first time he saw a possum he got out of the car and started running after it going "WHAT IS THATTTT"

he also did that with poison oak and touched it...

I guess some part-time pet walkers with accusations of being predators downvoted you? This is a valid question.

I am hell bent on getting all my chores, laundry, errands done before 3 - not because of football - I'm just sick of the Sunday night scramble at our house.

Isn't there one around the corner from there (I know it as the old post office building, but have no idea the name of the current business)? Mid block between Ellwood and Cary on Belmont.

Actually as I recall the state was having big surpluses similar to now so he campaigned on eliminating it using those funds. Then the Dot Com Bubble popped around 2000 and the recession hit causing a massive drop in revenue. The state ended up having to cap the rebate and it’s never been raised resulting in increasing taxes each year because the amount has to be spread among more people.

Edit to add, the “stupid government spending” you’re referring to is stuff like schools and other local services. The car tax and other property taxes go straight to localities to pay for stuff like that, not to the state.

Not sure why my original comment is being downvoted unless the people doing so aren’t old enough to remember this is what happened.

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

We’ve been in a recession for months. You and your “experts” can try to rewrite the dictionary all you want, but we’re in a recession and everybody knows it.

We have corruption. Richmond, is far worse than Henrico. Those idiots keep electing Morrissey.

Stupid government spending did that.

I doubt most down votes are for the first sentence they said, but for the fact that the next two are kind of dickish.

I lived in Cancun for 15 years, where everybody works for resorts. I moved back to RVA a few years ago and was able to hang on to my career remotely.

Hope Thrift on Patterson or there is also one in Midlothian. Great selection and fair pricing. Also West End Thrift on Broad - same deal. But check the hours on all - there are days they aren’t open. The Clothing Rack on Cary is also great.

You can assume whatever you want as long as you’re willing to get called out for your wrong assumptions.

My day is far from ruined but thanks for your faux-concern, slick.

Don’t confuse me chiding you with name calling as me being upset, although I’m sure that’s an effective ego-protective mechanism for you.

By your logic so is the rest of the citizenry.

Right, but you can make a lot of assumptions about that tired comment. Sarcasm doesn't translate well in text.

It seems like only one of us is upset here and it certainly isn't me. I hope this doesn't ruin your day!

mfw when Americans call saber toothed bin kittens "possums"

To give you a more dispassionate response, no, murder is different. If these two were involved a crime and one of them commits a murder in the process of that crime, both can be charged with murder.

Or i made a sarcastic comment in reply to a different tired ass response anytime there’s a crime…”Cops are useless!”

Ask yourself why my comment upset you so much you had to assume I’m a Republican.

Fucking Reddit, full of smooth brains

You made the same tired response that a particular crowd of people like to use anytime there's a violent crime committed. I voted for Brandon too, this isn't that serious.

There is nothing wrong with trying to maintain the general appearance of a neighborhood. It there were no rules in place the entire city would shortly be a 4 over 1, apartment building. The rich deserves good schools not because they are rich but because they are like everyone else only with money. All lower, middle and high schools are part of a non-profit system of education in this country that needs to be support at any cost. Rebuilding the school it to look historic isn't a bad thing, it pays homage to an architectural style that was once considered modern after all. At a time when buildings were built that way based on cheap plentiful materials. Modern architecture hasn't been proven to be any better to the overall health of a child's educational enrichment or enjoyment. It is just a way to crowd more children into a smaller space to achieve bigger class sizes. There is an augment to be made that some buildings are more beautiful than others that is why 'Architecture' begins and ends with a foundation of good design. Designing a space that promotes learning about the humanities as well as science is the best use of space. Most modern architectural schools look like science labs, not libraries, the same way prisons are built, with ugly cinder block walls, not enough windows or bathrooms. Schools should be places where children enjoy being there.

Going to check out the Wrexham match and then some football.

My partner and I impulsively went to tour some new construction houses that we thought were cute and now we're talking to a lender, so it's been a very exciting weekend for us.

Sounds like you’re assuming some shit about me so that it’s easier for you to stomach the obvious point I made about crime prevention in the context of the post I was replying to. I voted for “Brandon”

Hit the bricks.

Sounds like you should use google and be less mad that people know where popular Richmond establishments are lmao
