I'm not even sure being married would stop this. My concern is the issue could be just as much "the priesthood attracts pedophiles," as "being a priest makes you into a pedophile."

Plus, not having marriage and kids doesn't explain why other Christian denominations also have pedophilia and sex abuse problems (see: Southern Baptist Church).

Why would you recall someone that is being (successfully) checked by other parts of the government? Like just don't vote for his ass next time. If a recall costs tax dollars, seems like a waste of tax dollars.

I really liked First Home Mortgage and Fulton Mortgage Company/Fulton Bank. I would have gone with either but went with the one that gave me the best deal.

Lmao I wish this was not the case... But it is. Mine was sold in that time period, although the lender I originally selected still manages it from the front end.

I am so glad this was not an actual MARC train...

But yeah, I am cautious around the light rail tracks. From Linthicum to Hunt Valley, you don't want to be caught on the tracks.

H Mart generally has it.

I didn't know this was a thing until I bought my house. People do this on my street. When I moved in, the contractors the previous owner had working on the house left a huge can of their construction trash (which I had to haul away to the Reisterstown Road station myself, but that's another story) that smelled like death. I just knew I was going to find a dead animal in there.... nope: like 10 bags of dog poop. No telling how long they had been in there, either. After this, I learned to never leave my can in front of my house for an extended period of time beyond trash day itself. I work from home 85% of the time and always on trash day, so this has helped a lot. But the problem is the dumbasses who put the bagged poop in on trash day.

One day I was moving my car for street cleaning, and I "caught" a woman with her dog, putting bagged poop in someone's can. For some reason I thought it would be a guy. Wrong. Smh.

I put dryer sheets in the bottom of my can. They absorb (some) of the smell and some of the exploded bagged poop. Other than writing a message on top of your can, I'm not sure what to do. Think about the poor trash collectors: you're supposed to bag the trash... but now imagine them dumping your can of bagged trash and having to deal with literal bags of dogshit loose and possibly exploded in the can.

If you are someone who does this and you are reading this, yes, you are an asshole and also disgusting.

I got one when I moved this year. Put the signs up (I printed them myself with a hard copy of the permit)... it rained and some fell off. Went to the police station to get more. Highly recommend just getting the card stock/poster type they have at the stations. But it didn't matter much in the end. Because by the time the moving truck arrived, someone took down every sign, and we had to unload from the middle of the street anyway. The movers stuck the permit in their window and were fast. Still waiting for the permit bill to come in the mail.

Still, I would do it again. It beats getting fined if some busybody Karen type calls the city on you. At least you will have done your part, and Karen will have to just stay mad.

Looks like someone linked recent discussions on hikes.

I like my Danner Inquire Chukka boots. They're kinda boring and basic, but get the job done. I second REI for whatever shoes you get, I have a very neutral foot though, so get whatever works for you. I go back and forth between the one in Timonium and the one in Columbia... too bad there isn't one in the city itself.

• The center of the staircase in Preston Gardens Park, at the intersection of Saint Paul and Pleasant.
• The base of the monument of Lafayette, facing the southern end of Charles, in Mount Vernon.
• Lake Roland dam/pumping station, or that boardwalk between the light rail station and Lake Roland Park.
• The view of the Baltimore skyline as you drive north on 95, I dunno, starting around the Washington Blvd exit?

You are making me wish I hadn't donated my in-line skates to Goodwill...

Tangent, but today I went through the Fort McHenry tunnel, and a woman in a black BMW SUV with Maryland tags stopped at the booth. Like.... Ma'am. You should know good and damn well by now that cash tolls are gone. The signage is clear. And you know you don't have an EZPass, so that means you should have taken the scenic route through the city or 695, tf. She looked dumb as hell. This was not a late model car, and those plates looked old like they have been around a long time.

That said... People should just get their EZPasses from other states. I have zero problems, and I'd rather deal with the NY EZPass customer service in Queens or on Long Island or wherever they are now than pretend to save money with Maryland and their ridiculous EZPass program. Like this MD EZPass drama has been going on for too long... Disgraceful. Smh

12+ years with NY EZPass program. Zero issues.

Any rowhouse? There are so many styles. I love the rowhomes that have porches. Second favorite is a rowhome with a sunroom. Third favorite is a rowhome with a little vestibule with a door on each side (so your front door isn't just opening straight to your stoop or street. A home with a combination of these would be ideal for me.

Do I live in a house like any of these? Unfortunately, no. lol

Second the book The Baltimore Rowhouse.

There are some good deals at Whole Foods. If you have Amazon Prime (which I no longer have), even more deals. However, I've found my grocery bill has been markedly lower going to Sprouts?

The one store that makes me feel very ripped off 85% of the time is Harris Teeter.

At this moment through December, the pumpkin cheesecake at Pâtisserie Poupon is queen.

From January to early November, the queen is Smith Island Cake from SugarBakers.

Right, I do not deal with 295 unless there is literally no other option.

I am glad they disnt include any hypermarkets. Everyone doesn't have space in their homes for the humongous sizes Costco carries.

Lmao shows how often I go out there. Is Bonefish Grill still out there? If so, sub that. Same diff.

Lol you're being down voted, but this is the real.

I believe everyone is a suspect because people I have trusted in my life have violated my trust and because I have been stalked. Point blank. I didn't learn this in any course, concealed carry or otherwise.

Paranoid people like me shouldn't have guns at the ready, we would just end up with a bunch of dead people and me in prison, honestly.

Hypervigilance is not a state anyone actually wants to be in, believe me.

This reminds me of Slumdog Millionaire or Hostel.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Ngl I treat every person approaching me at night that I don't know as a suspect.

Lol so I guess Famous Dave's in Owings Mills is by default better?

Hey, I like cheesecake! I just don't want to go to some sad Cheesecake Factory in a dead mall.

Boston Street and that shopping plaza at that time are like hell's half acre. I cannot imagine fighting through all of that to eat some just ok food.

Selecting an Atlas Group restaurant demonstrates a lack of imagination. It's like buying someone roses when you could have found out if they even like flowers.

A dinner at any Atlas Group restaurant.

Brunch at the Canton Iron Rooster at noon on any given Saturday.

Cheesecake Factory at the Inner Harbor.

Ok, yes, that is a true exception.
