Job lined up in Lexington Park. It pays 22/hour, so about 45k gross annually. Is this a feasible income to live in the area?

Just moved here from Florida and want to do a crab boil for Memorial Day weekend. Where do you all buy your fresh seafood in Charles County? Looking to do some blue crabs, shrimp, and oysters.

I'm traveling in on Monday the 25th for my mother's 70th birthday - she's in Hollywood in St. Mary's. We would have loved to take her out for brunch then, but unfortunately we will have to stay in the home. Since it's her birthday and a milestone one, and due to her having an exceptionally rough year, we wanted to bring in something special for her. Since there's travel involved, we would have loved to have cooked but can't.

I'm looking for somewhere to get carryout that's really wonderful, or catering for 6. We do have one vegan so we'll have to be mindful of that if possible. Seeking recommendations for anything in that area!!

Weird place to ask but me and my group are getting pretty desperate. Currently we have 6 members including myself and we are looking at Thursday or Monday for the days. Please lmk if you are interested

Possibly getting a truck for my business but would need to get a truck wrap. Any good places around here for that kind of thing?

I'm currently working on a novel that is primarily set in St. Mary's County. I haven't started writing the actual prose yet, but I have a kind of "short story" version blueprint.

Would anyone be interested in reading it? I'm wondering if there's a market for this type of story.

Genre-wise, it's fundamentally a love story, but it's more complicated than that.

So. I work at the library, and we're doing this really cool event next week, but not that many folks are registered yet. If it's your CWS next week, we'd love if you can make it. Aimed at adults. I figure since I see so many posts on here asking for things to do, I'd toss out an option.

I recently started going to Tidewater in Solomon’s and I’ve been given an understandable, but quite expensive care plan.
Is there any dentist recommendations in the Calvert or St. Mary’s area that may have better care/more affordable rates? Or is Tidewater in Solomon’s a good dentist to stick with?

I've never been before. Looks like not too many details yet about parking, food/drink, etc. but does anyone here have experience or tips to share? It's also Father's Day weekend so I'm thinking it will be crazy.

Gilligan's Bar was the best fix for a beach without paying to be there, other than buying beers/food (which I had no problems doing).

What would be a good alternative now that Gilligan's Bar is no more (sadly)?

Single woman in my early 30s, living near California, looking for things to do. Moved here a while back, and I'm only here another year.

Very fortunate to have made friends with my neighbors, but they are all twice my age and retired.

Any pickleball, trivia, hiking/running clubs etc.?

Up for anything that is welcoming to someone solo!

Please feel free to share any ideas or insights. Unfortunately don't have the time (or energy) to be driving up to DC for things.

Thanks!

Edit: Does anyone have any specific info on trivia? Finding lots on Facebook about running clubs/pickleball, but not as much about trivia. Thanks!

I didn't realize how expensive it is to replace these machines! I'm hoping it will be significantly cheaper to repair. It's a baratza encore, fairly old, and just started grinding very large, grainy pieces. I replaced the ring burr holder with no luck so I'm at a loss!
