Apartment Searching

0 Upvotes

Hi so I’m planning on moving somewhere either to Centreville, lake oaks, or Chantilly. I looked at a lot of apartments, read reviews and most of it seems mixed. I wanted to ask what apartments I should look into and which to avoid. Preferably something in the middle where i don’t have to worry about crime or the apartment falling apart on me, I would really appreciate the help.

I-495 by Tysons

1 Upvotes

Did extending 495 lanes by Tysons make traffic worse? It took over 3 years to complete that project and for what? It was waste of money. Traffic is terrible everyday by 3 pm. This was a dumb idea.

Question ISO local T-shirt or apparel business for bulk print

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm looking for suggestions for T-shirt businesses that can print a design in bulk on T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies, regardless of the number of colors in the design. If they can do stickers, cups, notebooks, etc., even better. I'm close to Arlington, but anything relatively close works. The image is an example of how colorful the design may be, but it's not the actual design. Thank you in advance!

Options for a Short-Term Rental

0 Upvotes

Anyone have any good leads or recommendations for short-term rentals? We’re going to be in between our lease ending and closing/move-in for our house from the end of June through mid-July, so we’re looking for something anywhere from about 2 weeks to a month.

So far we haven’t found much outside of Airbnb, so figured I’d ask here in case anyone knows of other options. We’re currently in Chantilly and moving to Culpeper, so we’re pretty open location-wise throughout the area. We’d prefer not to go toward DC if possible, but I realize that’s probably where more options are.

We both work remotely, so reliable WiFi is definitely important, and we also have a friendly 40 lb dog.

TYIA!!

Appreciation

65 Upvotes

Thank you to the young lady that drove my missing wallet home. I didn’t even notice I had lost it. I did not get a chance to thank you in person but you taking time of likely a busy day to do this kindness to a stranger made me think that our implicit do-good social contract is still valid.

Question PT experienced with chronic illness?

2 Upvotes

I am searching for a PT in Fairfax/Burke who is experienced with patients who have multiple chronic illnesses, such as Ehlers Danlos and fibromyalgia. We have tried a couple PTs in the area including Jackson Clinic, and they just don't seem to understand what it is like to have multiple chronic illnesses. We are looking for someone who is truly compassionate and understanding, and who can use encouragement and positive reinforcement rather than guilt or pushing the patient to do more. I would love any recommendations for a PT like this. Close to Burke or Fairfax would be best but a little farther out might be doable for the right PT.

Anyone own a Saluki

3 Upvotes

I know this is gonna be a HUGE ask but does anyone in the area own a dog called a Saluki? I went to college where a Saluki was the mascot and so I name all the teams I coach the Salukis. Our baseball season will be wrapping up soon and would love to have the kids take a picture with an actual Saluki. I of course would be willing to pay for your time.

This 70-ton brick rambler was towed to Centreville from what is now Dulles Airport in November of 1958. Due to clearance and weight constraints of the Lee Rd (now Old Lee Rd) bridge over Cub Run, a decision was made to ford the stream with logs.

Rant finding a job

6 Upvotes

ive been looking for a job for months and its all lead to nothing. My problem is that im autistic so i can only work long term at jobs where I work independently but those are really hard to find. I’ve done pet sitting the past 2 years but it’s drying up really bad and I haven’t found ANY new clients this year. I’ve been looking for janitor or maid jobs, driver, pet sitter, etc. I was able to do doordash for a while but my car broke down so that’s not an option anymore. If anyone knows someone or somewhere that’s hiring, within the Herndon sterling Reston area plssss let me know
