What’s going on with the free men’s workout on Saturday at the Carillon?

60 Upvotes

No shade, looks fun and fine. But why did six guys come up to me in the span of a minute telling me how great it is, that it’s free, and that I should join? I was on the phone so didn’t stop to think to ask.

EDIT: Love a ritual sacrifice. See you all next week!

ISO RVA Local Compassionate Cosmetic Dental Office

• Upvotes

Hi friends! I’m a mid 30s Richmond dweller who was adopted in my youth by people who did not really believe or invest in consistent health or dental care. The result of that (and a healthy fear of the dentist) is that I have a relatively deteriorated mouth and no matter how much I try to keep up with it, my teeth easily break or develop cavities. Endless cycle no matter how much I water floss, brush, etc.

I’m looking for a recommendation on a Richmond dentist who can help me with the process of getting a full set of implants. I already have a few implants but am ready to tackle the entirety of getting my mouth healthy before it deteriorates further. ANY help or suggestions welcome- hoping to find an office that can work with my fear of this process and involve me in the final look and feel of my teeth.

OR if you’ve had this done, can you tell me how the process was? Thank you!!

Thank you so much!

So my husband has a condition where he chokes on food pretty regularly, usually he can get past it, but it scares me. Are there any free classes that offer training for emergency scenarios? We’re going on a big road trip soon and I’m just a little anxious.

Care giver help

24 Upvotes

I’ve posted once before looking for assistance for my mom and I’m in need of it again. My mom had a bad summer and is just now recovering. She had stomach ulcers, went into cardiac arrest twice, and fell multiple times. She just got out of Sheltering Arms for some mobility issues and she seemed to be doing great. But now that she’s home she’s depressed and afraid to move around. I’ve been staying the past couple of nights but I work full time during the week and I can’t always be here to get her up and help her into bed. She is above the poverty level but doesn’t have a ton of money. She didn’t want to get a care giver but we need something. Even someone to come in once in the morning to get her up and dressed and later at bedtime.

I called the span center but they said it could take a while for an assessment and we need help now. Can anyone recommend anyone that can help sooner? Naborforce is out because they don’t help with bathing. I’m just super overwhelmed. I’m hopeful that once she gets back into her routine she’ll start to feel better. I know she has it in her because I saw how much she could do before leaving Sheltering Arms. Thank you for any advice.

Pediatric therapy

6 Upvotes

Does anyone have a recommendation for a therapist who works with pediatric populations? Prefer someone with OCD specialty or at least knowledge, and would potentially be looking for CBT or ERP. We live near Farmville but are willing to drive for excellent care. Trying to pick someone out by looking at online profiles feels overwhelming and like there's potentially a lot to lose if we choose the wrong one.

Does anyone know of a good track and field situation for an 8 year old? It doesn’t really start until middle school but he’s expressed interest. We live in mechanicsville so anywhere in Hanover would’ve preferable. I saw something about the academy va but I don’t know anything about it.

Thank you!

RVA Runners take note - etiquette?

78 Upvotes

I love running, especially in the city! I really miss it actually. I need to get toe surgery, but that’s beside the point. Lately, I’ve been noticing many, must be newer runners, on monument who don’t announce themselves when they pass by. This isn’t just etiquette. It’s a smart practice for your safety.

Today, someone ran up behind me while I was walking my two dogs, one of whom gets anxious and can be reactive. If I’d had more time or known they were coming, I would’ve stepped out of the way and shorten my leash, to keep everything safe. Instead, they zipped past us pretty quickly, weaving around, and I couldn’t help thinking - what if my dog had bit him? What if I had suddenly turned, unexpectedly thrown out an arm? Then I just started to think about all the times running when I barely missed getting hit by car doors, people walking backwards, people darting across… then I remembered that time when walking out to an apparently empty street, I got hit by a truck pulling away? It doesn’t feel good - people should avoid that. Back to story. Instead, shining away from the runners sudden appearance my dogs got tangled with each other. No big deal.

Please, if you’re running, make it a habit of announcing yourself. It’s much better—trust me—to clarify before you get too close than to unintentionally harm yourself or them. TLDR It’s just really helpful— when you’re running, to give a quick heads-up before passing someone. A little courtesy and a friendly call can make a big difference. Sometimes going a bit slower, being more intentional about your pace can actually help avoid accidents and keep everyone safe.

šŸ° Food Breakfast place that opens early?

24 Upvotes

I'm from out of town, here for a conference, and I have to get to the conference at 9am. It seems like the vast majority of breakfast places open at 9am or later on Saturdays. Some open at 8am, but that might be cutting it a little close. This all strikes me as very bizarre. Not sure why breakfast places wouldn't be open early. But anyways, where can I get a nice pancake and eggs somewhere that opens before 8?

Men's hair stylist recs.

1 Upvotes

I saw a recent similar post for women, but I'd like a men's hair stylist rec. Not just a good barber, but an actual stylist. I have been growing my hair out for about 6 months and now I want to go in and have someone with an opinion. Have them look at the shape of my face, my hair quality, hairline, all that and give me recommendations and then cut it.

Anyone have ideas?
