My parents went HAM on this concept and tore out 3 acres of lawn and replaced it with a native meadow (no HOA other than “no farm animals”). Not only do they have lots of beneficial insects (and zero mosquitoes!), but they also get the birds that eat the insects and the predators (foxes, birds of prey, snakes) that…

I did it for a few years, but it was hard to meal plan around some of the stuff that I’d get in the box. I generally spend around $10 buying the produce I need for the week at Aldi, so a box doesn’t make a whole lot of sense other than being trendy.

After going 0/8 over the past 3 years in getting a stylist to do what I want, I was just googling how to do this. Long layers don’t look complicated to manage, and if I can cut down on the professional cuts to 1-2x a year, that’s a savings in money and aggravation.

Accutane took out the worst of my acne, hormonal BC took care of the rest. It’s not something you should do lightly, but if your acne is otherwise uncontrolled, it’s worth it.

AVAM is pretty awesome, but it doesn’t have trains :P

In Baltimore, the best museum hands down is the B&O Railroad Museum on Pratt St. One of the largest collections of engines and rolling stock in the country, huge collection of ephemera from the railroad age, massive train gardens inside and out, and tours of their on-site restoration shop. The roundhouse is my dream…

I went to my BF’s VA bar admissions ceremony and out of all the VA schools represented, Liberty’s law school had the least number of graduates sworn in. 

Yeah. You can technically hold real estate within an IRA so capital gains tax avoidance becomes more relevant, but those are games well above my income level.

You can contribute to a traditional IRA at any income level. It’s only tax deductible if your AGI is below $60k(single filer). The max you quoted is for a Roth IRA which does have an income limit on contributions. There are ways around it (backdoor Roth), but it’s a pain in the ass for most people.

There’s a shocking lack of roasted garlic in this recipe. I’ll add some.

In terms of jail time, yes, he did not get properly fucked. In terms of financial consequences, he got pretty fucked with fees, confiscated money/items, and attorney’s fees. As long as the fines end up being 10x or more the bribes paid, with the money dedicated towards improving college access, I’ll be ok with it.

Yep. When we stay with my BF’s brother who lives nearby, it’s a favorite jogging path in the morning (before 9 or so).

He’s wrong. It’s definitely worth a visit.

I’m going to vehemently disagree about the Aquarium. It’s one of the best in the country and definitely worth a visit. To be fair, weekends in the summer and during typical school break periods it’s absolutely slammed, but it’s completely empty on random Thursday afternoons. If you pick your time carefully, it’s a…

I initially thought the head picture was of Ted Cruz. It has that punchable quality.

My SO are in the same situation (except I’m the one who’s had the stable career while he’s working on starting his). You’re not alone in feeling like this because we both have these exact same thoughts monthly. Hugs.

VA allows as many non-consecutive terms as governor as the population will vote you in for, so McAuliffe or Kaine could totally step up for the next primary if they wanted. Kaine’s term ends in 2024, so I doubt he’d drop two years early, but McAuliffe is an option.

I’m very amused by the shove at 1:22. 

Probably should have checked in regarding the drinks when the entrees showed up and the drinks hadn’t. 

Seriously. Williamson is at the top of *his* arc when he crosses the 3 point line.
