I believe DC law states that the terms of the original lease remain when you go month to month except for lawful rent increases. But what I don’t know is if that means that the term in your original lease about the 90 days notice remained in place or if the “except for lawful rent increases,” provision is covered within that, meaning they only have to give you 30 days notice. They certainly have to give you some notice, I just don’t know if it’s 60 days.

When I called the Uber in the morning I did not realize how bad it was going to be. Normally its a short reasonably priced trip and by the time I did it was too late to take metro or walk or I would have been late.

And by the time I walked to those metro stops road the escalators and waded through all of the crowded and sweaty trains I could have walked home!!!!! But you know the thought never crossed my mind to take metro lol.

Unfortunately there is not a train that gets close enough in between the two points that I was going. Besides the fact that even if there was the idea of the crowds was not a good one.

We were at the National Theater yesterday for a show. I live in Kaloroma. It took me an hour to Uber over there, and that's after 6 drivers cancelled. I walked home. It was nice weather and happy to be healthy enough to do it, but my God it was a mess down there yesterday. No way I was going through that again and paying 50 bucks.

No offense to men because many are our allies and want to help. But I have said this to many male friends, you have absolutely no idea what we deal with. Since you are not a bad man you don’t know how bad men are.

A few years ago my co worker was in a window seat and a man ran his hand up her leg and under her skirt. It was so quick and she was trapped. I will never sit in a window seat.

I do this too and while I think it deters some and is worth it it does not deter all. I have had men scream at me to get me to hear them.

A few years ago a friend’s family was visiting the DC area from South Africa. The man who was driving had never been to the US, never driven on this side of the road, and never driven in snow. In SA they drive on the other side of the road. He left Dulles and the road were completely snow covered and it was snowing like nuts. He ended up merging onto an exit. Thank God a VA state trooper was right behind him and pulled him over. He was actually very kind, no ticket and let him on his way. I have a friend from AU and when we travel there she always drives . I think on main highways it’s fine as you can easily follow traffic presuming there is some, but if the road is abandoned and snow covered, or you are on a side road, it’s easy to make the mistake.
that being said someone with a CDL would not be in this situation.

I don't have suggestions but my best friend said the pain was almost as bad as giving birth with no drugs, she almost passed out.

If it was a route that you were familiar with and you knew a crosswalk was there and you did not have a good view of what was ahead of you? You stop.

Reply to comment by museumed in Just moved to DC after living overseas for 5 years. Is it too late for me to register to vote? by WhatTheFaDuck
I worked the polls as a check in clerk in and can confirm this but he has not lived here for long enough to be eligible. And for anyone else reading this please if your address does not match your current ID and/or your voter registration ID bring something with you that does. Otherwise you have to cast a provisional ballot and if you do not go to the elections office within I think it's two days to verify your vote does not count.

This would only be if you were in a rent controlled building.
