Welcome to virginia, you’ll pay this every year on your vehicles and house. I could have bought another car with my car tax money by now. One half of the bills comes right after Christmas, and the other half 6 months later. It’s sucks

Cannot upvote this enough

I thought Bagel was a boy.

Probably live in Short Pump or Mechanicsville.

I had quite a good things happen after midnight. Usually about 6 hours after midnight when I get myself a greasy biscuit to cure a hangover

I get it. IMO soccer is one of the more tactically nuanced sports. I’d say of the “American” sports basketball and hockey are closest. So much ground to cover and the average player gets less than 2 minutes (more like less than a minute) of time on the ball for the entirety of 90min of open play so the little things that make a great player are harder to see or appreciate to the untrained eye. Like a great turn in your own defense to free up space and advance out I can appreciate more than just a run and tap-in goal.

good info, thanks. balanced against what it takes away from the local economy I would still consider it a loss. hopefully we can put this all to bed soon and maybe focus on things that actually help Richmonders (Richmonites? Richmonians?).

Took the dogs for a walk and now it’s left over pizza and Star Trek while my husband runs to the store because he heard the new Lego sets are being put on shelves a week early in some stores. Happy Sunday!

Sounds like Helen's is a good spot. I like Liberty Public House. This morning I settled for a grease bomb omelet from Village Cafe with a pint sized mimosa

Whatever will get rid of those stupid “fox is love” signs all over the fan needs to happen

I need a map of what is what because I still have a hard time figuring it all out.

Well done!

Did you end up finding one? I love a good Benedict

Good to know, but that's Downtown/Shockoe Bottom

ETA: if I felt up for driving I would go to Liberty Public House. That place slaps

To me the Fan includes VCU: Broad, Belvidere, Boulevard, and the downtown expressway are the borders.

Never heard of Helen's, thanks!

Um... respectfully disagree. Maru was one of the worse korean restaurants I've had, unless they changed substantially since when I went in 2019. If OP wants proper korean food, the closest decent stuff is up by annandale and centreville. Nova basically. We're basically SOL here in richmond.

Biden is going to see this post and resign in shame.

I've tried so hard to get into soccer and just can't do it. I understand why others love it but just doesn't click for me.

Recovering from my first ever COVID. Thank to you Dr Fauci I was triple boosted, thank you Pfizer the Paxlovid has kept me at my desk after 1 day off with a fever. Thank you Patient First, you got me in and out with the Paxlovid prescription in less than an hour.

The last season of Shameless they do just that. Lifting kegs in the back room of the bar.

Woke up late but slowly getting moving so I can go to the gym. Spent all day yesterday with my mom which was long overdue. Sometimes I worry that she’s lonely (divorced in 07 and never remarried or dated much) so I try to call or run errands with her as much as possible. Plus, we’re a horrible influence on each other once we step into a Target, and sometimes you just need a little mother-daughter retail therapy.

Skipped Girls Who Walk today as my occipital neuralgia has been absolutely destroying me all week and really waters me down socially.

ALSO- I think I almost got pyramid schemed at the Staples Mill target yesterday (I’ve had this happen 3 times at the Libbie one, and once at the WL Old Navy). I didn’t waste any time cutting off the convo and then warned my mom not to engage if anyone is barreling questions at her following a simple compliment. I really hate this concept.

I know may people don’t like the tobacco company but I have a friend who worked there and she said she rarely had a bad week. One bartender I know there told me she makes two days a week what she used to make as a teacher - which is awesome for her but kind of sad

I'm now laughing into my brunch beer hearing "what is it? A mongoose?" In a thick English accent. I haven't even heard the word mongoose since reading rikki tikki tavi a million years ago lol
