I hate this. The thought of anyone not having a safe place to fall asleep at night, (let alone warmth, food, basic needs), is horrifying.

I agree—though to be fair, some are, and have been since the 80s. CARITAS started out as "Congregations Around Richmond Involved To Assure Shelter."

That’s how my daughter was with peanuts. Tried to give her peanut butter multiple times. She would spit it out and make face. We figured she didn’t like it. Surprise surprise she is severely allergic. Doctors said she was probably spitting out due to it making her mouth itch.

I’m actually a registered behaviorist who grew up in a vet clinic and working with rescues, that’s why I’m so passionate about breed bans and “pit” misinformation! Just more partial to cats. Labs and pitbulls are equally capable of inflicting equal harm on a human being, they’re big animals that should be treated well to foster good behaviors and a healthier dog population.

I hope it's him, if only because we don't need party operatives in local government and this is a way to get him out. We need a well-regarded and proactive citizen of the city as mayor.

Congressman McEachin was a thoughtful champion for justice, and played a particularly important role as a leader in the state senate. I will miss him.

Congressman McEachin was diagnosed back in 2013 or 2014 and had rare complications that arose from the treatment.

CDC says you can wait until you're 45 unless you have family history. (In my case, my doc wanted me to get a baseline colonoscopy 10 years before the age at which my family member was diagnosed. Because my mother was diagnosed in her late 30s, I was supposed to get one in my late 20s.)

They didn't do general anesthesia for mine, it was the "twilight" stuff, but even though they say you might not be asleep from the twilight stuff, it always puts me out.

Anyone who has any experience with dogs knows that badly trained pits are far more dangerous than badly trained labs. Aggressive does not always equate dangerous as well.

What Would Joel Osteen Do?

As a former New Yorker with a job that often had me starting work at 7 or 8pm, I got so used to walking by a coffee spot and grabbing a shot of espresso on my way in to work. Sadly, not here. I decided to save up for a year and just recently got my own espresso machine. 10/10 would recommend. All the good coffee shops here close at 2 or 3 pm (other than the Blanchards on broad)

I’m not, I’m not even a dog person. Per population, labs are more aggressive than pits. Look at what the the CDC and AKC have to say on it, shelters and police don’t even DNA test the “pits” they do reports on and the guidelines they use in a lot of cities and states would label a dog with clear pug characteristics as a pit bull. Experts also agree that owner behavior is the biggest qualifying factor in dog temperament, and breed bans lead directly to animal mistreatment. The best thing you can do to stop what you seem to think is a pit bull epidemic is to stop spreading anecdotal evidence that is used to gain an emotional response out of people.

Penny lane was packed for the first game, I got there an hour and a half early and the bar seats were full, but there were tables open. By kickoff, they were full and not letting people in.

I'll dm you pictures of my ball bag

News articles from last year will help. You can parallel park anywhere that's not closed.

Street closures for Grand Illumination tend to be small.

Christmas Parade has more closures but it's easy enough to see where you can hunt for parking in Newtowne West or the Fan.

…..no….statistically there are more bites from labs…while labs have been the number one breed for 31 years…and pits aren’t even in the top 10…..out of the last 521 fatal dog attacks…346 were from pits. Stop lying to yourself because they’re cute

Looks to be about 280 places that could be generously and dutifully opening doors to a warm space in the evenings to those in need. https://www.churchfinder.com/churches/va/richmond
