Reply to comment by Bumbalatti in Droning Noise in Shockoe by lalasmores

True, but the little LectroFan is easy to pack since it's small and has better sound discernment than my phone, and as a fan addict, I also have a small one that can fit in my backpack that travels with me as well, since it's not just the noise that helps my mind shut up, but the air movement I like as well. The downside to being so used to this noise is when the power goes out, as I'm instantly away when it goes away...

I had the same problem. Emails only resulted in replies sending me to the website to look it up but since I didn't have a bill number, etc. and which is why I was emailing (sigh). So I tried to call one time before I went down to city hall. I admit I was on hold for almost 15 minutes but the representative was able to find out the amount I owed (with interest), the bill number, and also found out the address on file was my old address. (I've lived at new address for 4 years.)

She submitted a 311 ticket to update address and I went online with my bill number and paid.

(804) 646-5700

Before going down there try calling, and prepare to stay on hold for awhile but it beats going down there.

Get a cheap clothing steamer wand. Hit the edge enough to peel it with a razor blade, enough to grip it. Then slowly pull with the steam wand between the glass and tint. Steam releases the adhesive easily. 100% do not listen to anyone telling you to just peel it with a razor blade.

Reply to Which daycare do you use and how much is it? by PopularMedicinetoday

Leaf spring school is $1420 a month for infant care. The rate is increasing to $1505 in August. It's nationally accredited and one of the few places with get well place i.e. sick care for minor illnesses with a nurse. Closed on most federal holidays but not every time rps closes. The wait list was a year out.

Sprout School is $1600 for infant care and closes when rps closes. No sick care or nurse on staff but nationally accredited. Waitlist was 18 months out for infant care.

Hope this helps. My experience is if you want something cheaper you look for in home daycare.

My good mood starter is first coffee. Then followed by my daily snuggle with my pup on the couch. First I give him scratches. Then he paws at me to go under the blanket I'm using. It's his way of making me try to stay home all day. He's 60lbs so he takes up most of my part of the couch but it's fine. It brings me so much happiness each morning.

You never hear it in the near west end or Windsor Farms.

You can live in the fan for a year and easily never hear gunfire.

Saying that gunfire is similar in gilpin as the fan is as laughably inaccurate as saying income is similar in the two places.

I’ve been here for over a decade and never heard gunfire in the fan.

That office is terrible. My realtor warned me when I bought in the city to put the due dates on my calendar because the city likely wouldn’t send a bill. Then they WOULD send a late notice with penalties. I’ve been here two years and have still not received real estate or personal property bills. I occasionally get utility bills. I have given up on any communication other than going in person. It sucks, it’s inconvenient, but it’s the only way I know to stay on top of it.

That’s wild. Yeah I might have to do that. I mean when I was waiting on my passport I contacted Mark Warners office as they had the wrong address so I never got correspondence that they needed additional info. They took care of it very quickly and I didn’t have to pay an additional passport application or anything after like an additional six months of waiting. That’s really shitty to charge people when they don’t have either the address correct and then never reach back out to people.
