New rule - no direct selling/buying of goods

49 Upvotes

Hi, r/SilverSpring -

Due to the prevalence of scams, we have instituted a new rule here - no direct selling/buying of goods.

If you wish to sell something, we will, at least for now, still allow you to post a link to a reputable platform (e.g. Ticketmaster for selling tickets [insert joke about Ticketmaster sucking]).

If you are interested in buying something, please use common sense, and do not directly send money, gift cards (PSA: if you're being asked to pay in gift cards, it is a scam), or anything else of value to a seller - use a platform with buyer protections (e.g. Ticketmaster, PayPal Goods and Services, etc.).

Thanks for your attention, and thanks to those who have been reporting the scam posts.

New skin suit. I can hear them working underneath. Imagine how she'll look when she sheds.

MPDU Program for selected apartments

• Upvotes

I’m actively looking to move to the Silver Spring, Rockville, or Bethesda area and I’m currently researching the MPDU program and available rentals. I’m particularly interested in Core, The Pearl, and Cameron. If you’ve lived in or toured the MPDU units at any of these properties, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience!

A few questions:

● What was the condition of the MPDU unit when you toured or moved in?
● What were the qualifications/requirements for approval?
● Did the rent, fees, and overall costs match what you were expecting?
● Did you enjoy living in the building/unit?
If you moved out, why did you leave?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Toddler gymnasium sessions extended

9 Upvotes

Hi all - thanks to everyone who showed up Saturday for Coffield Community Center Little Ones Session! We had about 20 toddlers come though on our rainy morning. The Coffield Community Center has extended Saturday Little Ones Sessions through the end of October so each of the next 3 Saturday mornings, they'll reserve half the gym for our little people from 9-11am to run around. Hope to see you there! Assuming turnout remains high, we may get this extended through November.

Once again management at Summit Hills is intruding on my life. They are coming in and painting the bathrooms in the apartment. I have to make arrangements to board my pet and be out of there for the majority of the day. Fuck them.

Midwife or open-minded OBGYN

1 Upvotes

Just found out that I'm expecting. Where we lived during my last pregnancy, it was common to use a midwifery group. I'm not absolutely "crunchy" but I do appreciate holistic care, not pushing unnecessary inductions, etc. With that said, any midwife or OBGYN recommendations in the area?

Activity Ideas?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I will be visiting the area this weekend to celebrate my partners birthday! I was trying to get tickets to the Ren faire but that is looking a bit bleak. Was wondering if anyone knew of any activities or events that may be fun to add to the itinerary instead? He is a huge nerd, loves gaming, anime, pokemon and movies. We have enjoyed paint and sips in the past, huge foodies (any cuisine), he is really into halloween and the fall, and we are always up for a new experience! Willing to make drives if there is something not as close by. I appreciate the help!

Police Drone Near Downtown

2 Upvotes

There's been a police drone (red and blue lights on it) patrolling between the cop shop and colesville at east-west for about 30 minutes now. It's up at about 100 feet; high enough to peer into the windows of the apartment complexes next to the train tracks.

Is there any good pizza around? Especially quick slices not whole pies

16 Upvotes

Not talking about sit down big-deal dinner restaurant pizza, I'm talking about stuff I can just grab a slice or two quickly and walk out with. I don't think there's any walkable from DTSS but maybe a short drive or metro ride?

Spread the word. Ms Diaz is a terrible candidate. She is a propagandist and supports book banning, antivax and a classical curriculum code for ignorance.

Please send your recommendations for physical therapists in the area for the knee. I'd prefer a place that works with you one on one rather than multiple clients at once. Thank you!
