how the heck does somebody get banned from postbellum…? lmao

LMAO well I went once after some IPA festival after 9 or 10 beers, way more than I normally drink. Had a shot of fireball and may have gotten sick at a bar table…

The bartender was not pleased as you could imagine.

That being said, the silver lining is she made a very cutting remark about my thinning hair (was unaware at the time) which basically got me self-conscious about it. Now I’m on Keeps and have a thick head of a hair again. Who knows if I’d be at this point had she not hurt my feelings like that.

Wait, you can undo thinning hair? What is keeps? Can you send more info

resident16 t1_j5gtigb wrote

Sure thing: https://app.keeps.com/

I do the basic plan which is a pill once a day and then this foam stuff (basically Rogaine) twice a day. You gotta stay with it but I started seeing some results after a month. I started seeing real noticeable results after 3+ maybe? I’ll post a before/after real soon.

That’s a huge difference! What’s the downside? There’s always a catch!

LOL well nothing so far. It’s like $130 every three months but the self-esteem boost is worth it.

No erectile dysfunction?

What is the application like?

resident16 t1_j5h78on wrote

Nope, nothing on my end.

I just signed up on the website. There was some quick questionnaire you do, take a couple photos for the doctor, and in a matter of minutes you’re approved. I looked the guy up and he’s certified and all that important stuff.

Honestly the hardest part for me is remembering to do the foam portion twice a day. It’s okay if you miss a day or so though.

Yes, you have to take finasteride for the rest of your life if you want to keep your hair. The above ad for subscription propecia/finasteride won't tell you that.

I've been on finasteride for 2 years and have never had a single symptom. Anecdotal, and different for everyone, but it hasn't been a problem for me.

Ugh, I'll just go all bald. Lot easier honestly.

Also for anyone who has issues with beard growth, minoxidil (keeps’ active ingredient) can stimulate beard growth! I went from not being able to grow a beard to a big fluffy boi.

And being a guy in Richmond, a beard of some kind is a must

>very cutting remark about my thinning hair

I'm glad it worked out in the end, but fuck. I dealt with every manner of shitty customer as a bartender and I guess it never occurred to me to be like "you know what would make this gross, contentious situation even better? A personal insult solely for the sake of hurting feelings."

xDocFearx t1_j5idrr6 wrote

I use keeps too! I started developing a bald spot after I got CoVid. Combing minoxidil and Finasteride fixed it right back up

I don't know what it is, but I used to frequent that place back when Baja was still open. I just sort of stopped having the desire some 5-6 years ago. I couldn't exactly tell you why.

You weren't 22 anymore. Happens to the best of us friend.

LOL I'd agree with that, but I wasn't 22 then and I still semi-frequent other bars that cater to people in their 20s.

Technically, I think the correct word order is post-ante-bellum, if we were speaking real english and not making jokes off defunct restaurants' names.

OK, i get it, i'm being no fun here...i'll see myself out!

It's a great spot. Went there often in the summer for punch and $1 oysters. Hopefully new owners will take advantage of that space.

Foo dog will still be around though, just in the food hall.

true, but also looks like the place which took foo dog’s place has more or less the same menu. not sure what’s up with that.

chefmarksamson t1_j5jillu wrote

You’ll lose your staff before you get to your close date. Also, it’s common enough for closing restaurants to stiff their purveyors that as soon as they find out you’re closing, a lot of places will either put you on COD and demand immediate payment of anything you still have on balance (most of the time you’re on 30-day terms) before they’ll do tomorrow’s delivery, or they’ll just cut you off entirely.

nah. it was just ran into the ground. relied too much on large reservations to make money, but they didn’t have enough of said reservations. also pay was shit and they’d offer a raise and then take it back and not supply pay stubs thinking you wouldn’t notice.

It met expectations in the "place to have a draft beer on a rooftop at sunset without driving downtown" category. Can't really screw that up, fortunately.

Huh, was just there for dinner last night before going to the Richmond Forum with some coworkers. It was pretty busy for dinner, I’d never eaten there before and the food was decent. It’s been around for a long time, curious to know what shows up in its place.
