A reputable company will show their phone number as "verified"
-
If they don't leave you a voicemail, that's probably a bad sign as to their professionalism.
I mean, if you answer every single call you get, that is your right, but you're wasting a lot of time to scammers by not taking simple precautions.

It's 2023. People really need to learn to screen or not answer unrecognised calls.

Indoctrination, toxic masculinity, and religion cover most of the bases.

SMART is more science-based, and also uses concepts from cognitive behaviour therapy, as well as rational emotive behaviour therapy

SMART Recovery (www.smartrecovery.org). Plenty of meetings all over the DMV, both in-person and online.
Atheist in recovery here, SMART has been extremely helpful for me

There are two kinds of drivers in MD, both equally bad:
-
The clapped-out Altima weaving in and out of traffic
-
The minivan/SUV in the left lane doing 10 under the speed limit and not moving over
By themselves these are bad, but put them together and you have a lethal combo

Oh absolutely, I'm in the Baltimore metro area now and there you will find the Clapped-Out Altima in its native territory.

Can't go wrong with either of them. You do have to pay a HOA fee in Columbia Association parcels, but that gets you great walking/hiking trails. Not as familiar with EC so I'll let some else speak to the details.

Can someone please explain to this regular person with a job and a life what Lakey Boyd did that was so bad? Nothing I've read presents any tangible allegations. My feeling is that it's just some board members with nothing better to do.

We have a No Soliciting sign at the entrance to our condo complex. The few times an idiot rings my video doorbell I angrily ask "did you not see the No Soliciting sign at the entrance"?

Nothing illegal, just don't open the door to strangers and get a doorbell cam if your landlord allows it.

Yes. They will bait-and-switch you with a low promo rate, then jack up your charges. Some of them will ask to see your account statement. Don't give it to them, because if you do, they'll switch you over without your permission.
