PT appointment for my wife's broken wrist. I think she'll be finished with the PT soon. Boring errands after that.

You presume to know what peopleās dietary habits are just because they think youāre a bossy, pompous ass. All this acting like youāre better than everybody else and you were eating flesh less than a year ago. Fuckin clown.

Reply to Richmond School board member proposes closing five schools to more efficiently use budget by Charlesinrichmond
I think it's a really bad idea, what about all the kids that live near those schools, they'd be forced to get driven/ ride the bus to a futher school. I hated my rps high school experience as too many crazy kids already, more would only contribute to the problem for kids that aren't wild. Trying to compact all those kids in a few schools is overwhelming for everyone involved, there'd be a fight everyday. And they wonder why nobody wants to be a teacher, those that have never attended an RPS high school can't relate it's literal insanity.

Reply to comment by ddm2k in āPeople Moving From NOVA to Richmond Are Ruining Our Cityā Reports Guy Who Moved Here in 2018 by ThatChildNextDoor
Where are you getting that from my response? I want to see the city grow. I just recommend folks donāt walk around acting like something theyāre not. A transplant can certainly become a Richmonder, but VCU kids from NOVA donāt get to claim that. If they stick around for a decade or so after graduating, then sure.

You couldnāt pay me all the money in the world to move back to Baltimore. Richmond is a much more livable city - quality of schools, affordability of housing, cost of living, etc. I moved here in 1994 and wouldnāt think of going back.

No one cooks them in anymore for that very reason. Gambino's out of NO ships them with the baby sitting on top.

Yeah my family are all still in Baltimore county. Canāt say I love it there. Wife and I moved to Richmond area from Texas recently so parents are still happy to have us close and to drive a few hours to see us, and Iām not in a rush to go hang out in Baltimore until they get burned out on the drive down š

Reply to Radon Mitigation by m0arpepper
The house I purchased a few years ago had elevated radon levels. Seller was required to have a mitigation system installed. I don't know who he used, but I believe the cost was less than 3K. They drill a hole.in your basement floor and shove a pipe into it and run it through an outside wall, connected to a small fan that draws the air out of the soil and expels it above your roof line. A quick Google search for radon contractors will get you started. But before you go all in on a system, run a few more tests. You can hire a company to set up a machine that samples the air over a 24 or 48 hour period and get accurate level measurements. Cost for this test was a couple hundred bucks three years ago.

Take home tests like the one provided by VDH are notoriously unreliable. The first one we did gave us a report of 8 pCi/L. Did a second done in the same spot for the same amount of time gave us 5 pCi/L.
Got an electronic monitor and it averaged out around 2.5 pCi/L.
Itās pricey but itās worth it for the peace of mind.

This guy did a few in our neighborhood. Weāve all been happy with his work. He charged a flat rate $1500 fee for a similar sized house, but that was 5 years ago.

Reply to comment by stickynohte in Where can I find one of those "Your speed:" radar signs? by i_need_a_lift
It's just dumb luck if you're exactly calibrated because tires can vary in actual size vs the numbered size. More common in lifted trucks, but the bigger the tire the more your speedometer will be off and most people don't bother to change their speedometer gear to match the new tire size. It's not unusual for a regular car to be off by 1-2 mph though.

I apologize in advance for dodging your question by saying better is subjective, and also ignoring your geography requirements, but have ya'll tried Saucy's BBQ Brisket in Petersburg & Hopewell?
My first trip I got the pulled pork, which was good but nothing crazy. The second time I chose brisket and I'm still thinking about it. So unexpected and so delicious.

Also 6th graders and 12th graders together seems like a recipe for disaster.

I wanna say they (grocery stores) started doing that because it's a liability thing.

Reply to comment by eziam in Greengate, those townhomes out in the Pump. How are they justifying those prices? by HoldingtheMoon
Off the top of my head that I can remember, there's a few members of the family that used to own Eagle, a Federal judge, some VP for Six Flags, and one of the Silva guys from UFC have homes there, want to say it's Joe Silva but I can't remember.
Vast majority of customers I dealt with that lived there were 50+. That neighborhood was also by far the biggest of the asshole homeowners of Eagle's neighborhoods.
