Talk to me in Korean have excellent resources. I lived in Korea for three years so if you have any questions feel free to ask me!

“though some of it is as bad as our high school french” yeesh

what an icon

Lived in SK 2007-2011, both in Seoul and the countryside. Korean isn't hard to learn but the pronunciation was always tricky for me. I sounded like a 5 yr old speaking. Good luck, have fun!

I spent a summer there in late 1980s (yeah, I'm old). I only learned the essential phrases of please, thank you, hello, and Where's the bathroom. Fortunately most Koreans learn English in high school. Though some of it is as bad as our high school French.

That being said, good luck with learning the language. I understand there are only 24 letters and they are always pronounced the same way. So you can learn how to pronounce things without knowing what you are saying.

Spring seeding in Richmond is a waste of money. Unless we have an unseasonably mild summer very little survives.

Do you have any tips to get started on that? I have a very leaf-covered lawn (pine needles as well as oak leaves), and the soil is pretty dead. I was considering trying to till some compost or something into the soil and then doing some clover and other stuff for pollinators.

We were told that the previous owner tried to plant grass after putting some top soil down, but I guess the roots couldn't take hold below the topsoil (due to the compacted dead dirt below). Then they said it kinda just slid down the hill.

It is if seeding cool season grass such as fescue. Maybe OP is seeding bermuda or some other warm season grass. Spring would be the time for that.

this site teaches it well https://www.howtostudykorean.com/

Fall is the time for aerating and seeding your lawn. This gives the grass ample time to mature and strengthen before the summer heat arrives.

Planning the same. I think it looks nice too.

A coworker just reported the same concierge conversation you're mentioning. She was really put-out and frankly can't afford another $1800/yr on top of insurance premiums.

She asked her doctor about it and he said that he's short staffed and overwhelmed by patients. He claimed the concierge model would allow him to spend more time with patients but didn't specify how that would affect patient insurance coverage, final costs, etc.

I think it's a shitty business decision, and indicative of a failed healthcare model. The gap between people who can afford healthcare is widening and that's terrifying.

Aeration and reseeding is a fall activity.

IHOP is one now too, thought I was ordering some Mexican Food but got an IHOP Bag and almost flagged my Delivery Driver back was so confused.

I just let whatever wants to move in grow, to be honest. I did the whole seed and fertilize a few years back and it's just not worth the bother to me.

I was really under the impression that they fall was for this.

We are going to seed clover and other pollinator friendly greens. Traditional lawns aren’t super great for the environment

Last fall was when I did all the reseeding, etc...

Last frost date is April 15th

i was thinking about over seeding some clover but haven't really done more than think about it.

I keep getting it too late so on a whim I seeded a patch of my yard recently and they just started sprouting a few days ago (probably died from the freeze last night).

Tbh I’m probably just going to seed again in a week because I bought a lot of seed to waste for this exact reason. I’m sick of the sprouts getting scorched when I seed at recommended times.

It was Next Level Chef but we tapped out midway. Full of food + being old = needed a snooze 🤣

HBO Max. There’s one host who looks like a big tough guy but literally will get overwhelmed with emotion when judging and start crying happy tears.

Probably too soon...I feel like this is still false spring trickery and winter weather will return again. But who knows..I'm waiting to seed for another month or so

Following this thread because I'm new to town and waiting for my first appointment (in about a month). The best doctor I ever had (in my previous town) went to Concierge Care and I lost him as a result. I didn't wanna pay the extra $2 grand a year (on top of insurance). I'm going to see how my visit goes in a month and from there I'll decide if I wanna explore Concierge. Anyone have any experience being on Medicaid here? When I went through the marketplace, I was put on Medicaid. I think it's because I'm not working. They asked what my expected income was for 2023, and it ain't much, because I'm sitting on money and don't need to work right now. I can afford medical care......I just don't have a job. I'm hoping that my care doesn't suffer because they put me on Medicaid. If I don't like it or think I'm getting substandard care then I'll just go the Concierge route or go back to the city I came from maybe. Anyway, I'd love to hear about anyone's experience being on Anthem Healthkeepers Plus Virginia medicaid, and if they get a level of care that's acceptable.
