Am I super out of touch with real estate or is this utterly insane?

(Special) Dental Office Recs

To begin, please dont judge as all these dental problems are due to a condition. I brush and floss 3-5 times per day due to this condition but still experience broken teeth / clenching / etc.

I am in desperate need of multiple dental procedures and recently had a horrible experience with 5 fillings at my current dentist
 I now need to get all these fillings redone.

I also need multiple root canals, implants, and other misc work done.

I would like to request sedation for root canals and other procedures simply because of the pain ive dealt with in the past / the anxiety associated with getting dental work done without being numb.

Does anyone have any VERY GOOD recommendations for a dentistry that can do all this stuff in house? Im not concerned about price too much, I need to get this done bad!

Thank you!

Looking for Spot that Sells Cochinita Pibil

Hi all! I stayed in the Yucatan peninsula for a few months a while back, and now I've had to live with not being able to find any Mayan food despite salivating at the thought of it. Does anyone know a good spot, preferably within an hour's drive? Open to farther if necessary. Doesn't have to be roasted in a pit traditional style.

Alternatively, any leads for Seville oranges so I can make it at home?

Thanks :)

Guitar teacher for heavy music/mostly metal

Looking to start taking guitar, bass, and making music in general more seriously. I'm amateur at guitar, not a total beginner but pretty novice.​

I like metal, specifically black, doom, death, sludge, heavy - not really interested in modern metalcore, deathcore, or djent​. Richmond's own Death Eternal is one of my favorite labels for example. So a teacher familiar with that would be ideal as I'd love to learn about gear and tone in addition to technique and theory. Love many other kinds of music too :)

Thanks for any recommendations!

Someone is missing their cat. This is not my cat. I happened to see this sign while walking along Grove, near N. Morris.

Animal shelters that are in *need* of volunteers to walk, train, socialize dogs?

I noticed the SPCA has a waitlist to volunteer with them. I am wondering if anyone knows of any shelters or rescues that have an actual need for a volunteer to help walk, train, and socialize dogs? Bonus if it doesn't need to be on a schedule or could be very low time commitment (like every other Saturday or something).

I am not in a place where I feel ready to commit to another dog at this point in my life, but I have been missing my pupper lately and browsing shelter listings (which is a dangerous game!) and I thought maybe I could fill the void by loving on the shelter doggos every so often :)

I am in the Mechanicville area and willing to travel up to 45 mins to surrounding counties if anyone is aware of any shelters that are short on volunteers! Thanks :)

Places within the city to buy coffee syrups?

Hi! I know that I could make the drive out to World Market and buy coffee syrups there or test my luck with the ones at TJmaxx, but im wondering if there are any coffee shops within the city that sell torani/monin/any other brand of coffee syrups.

Dont really wanna make the drive out to Short Pump just to have a good selection to choose from, but i will if i need to. Thanks!

Mid-Week Wednesdaily Thread

Had all three of my meetings for today cancel, which gives me the extra time I needed to finish a couple projects I've been working on.

What blessings have your coworkers inadvertently given you recently?

Found a very friendly, but very sick cat

The cat ran right up to me, they've must have had an owner at one point because of how friendly they are. They're very skinny and it looks like they have cataracts, they're drooling a lot, and weezy. I can't bring them in because I have two cats that I don't want getting sick and I can't afford taking them to a vet, but does anyone know where I can bring this kitty for help? I feel like shelters are always full and I don't want them to be euthanized. Someone help, idk what to do đŸ„Č

Looking for a home

We found the sweetest, mild-mannered Beagle in the woods and have been fostering him for the past week.
He is vaccinated, has been treated for worms and ticks, and is happy, healthy, and doing great. He absolutely loves other dogs and is honestly just about perfect.
Unfortunately, we can’t keep him. We have four kids, and our two younger children tend to stress him out, so we really want to find him a home where he can feel comfortable and loved.
He is such a good pup and deserves a loving forever home. We’d love to send him off with plenty of food to help get his new family started.

Update: We are still looking for a home for him :) I’ll post an update here as soon as I have found a home for him. Thank you all for your support!
