Whether you're looking for a statement piece or simply want to add some natural beauty to your home, a custom river table is sure to impress. So let's explore the possibilities and discover the beauty of these one-of-a-kind creations.

What are River Tables and Why They're So Popular

River tables are a growing trend in the furniture industry, and for good reason. They are stunning pieces of art that bring nature to your home decor. These tables feature a river-like design created by filling the gap between two slabs of wood with epoxy resin. The result is an eye-catching piece that looks like it was carved from a natural riverbed.
One reason why a custom epoxy table has become so popular is their uniqueness. No two pieces can ever be identical, making them perfect statement pieces for any living room or office space.
Another reason for their popularity is how versatile they are both in style and function. You can choose from various styles ranging from rustic to contemporary designs while also selecting different types of wood species that suit your taste and interior decor.
Whether you're looking for a coffee table, dining table, or even a custom desk made out of solid wood with an attached river-like design; River Tables will leave everyone who sees them awestruck and admiring its beauty!

How to Choose the Perfect Wood for Your Custom River Table

When creating a custom epoxy table for sale, the choice of wood is crucial in achieving that perfect look. Hardwoods like black walnut, maple, and cherry are popular choices due to their durability and unique grain patterns. It's important to consider the size of your table as well when choosing wood, since larger tables may require heavier woods to support the weight of the epoxy resin. One thing to keep in mind is that softer woods like pine or poplar may dent more easily over time.
Another aspect to consider is whether you want a live edge or straight edge for your tabletop. Live edges add an organic feel while straight edges provide a more polished look. No matter what type of wood you choose, it's essential to make sure it's properly dried before building your river table. Moisture in the wood can create bubbles in the epoxy resin which will ruin its appearance.
In addition to considering physical qualities such as color and grain pattern, think about how sustainable each option is - investing in sustainably-sourced materials can contribute positively toward our environment while beautifying our spaces at home!

The Art of Pouring Epoxy Resin: Tips and Tricks You Need to Know

When it comes to creating a stunning custom river table, pouring epoxy resin is the key element that gives it its unique and mesmerizing look. The process of pouring epoxy resin can be intimidating for beginners but with a little bit of practice and some tips and tricks, anyone can achieve beautiful results.
First and foremost, it's important to choose the right type of epoxy resin. Make sure to select a high-quality product that is specifically designed for furniture or tabletops. This will ensure that your table stays durable over time.
Before mixing the epoxy, prepare your workspace by covering the floor with plastic or newspapers. Wear gloves to protect your hands from any skin irritation caused by contact with the liquid.
Mixing equal parts of resin and hardener together in a clean container is crucial in achieving perfect clarity without cloudiness or bubbles which could worsen over time. Be sure not to mix too vigorously as this may introduce air bubbles into your mixture which will ruin the final result.
Finally, pour slowly onto one side while gently spreading across then move on to other areas often alternating sides until you have achieved an even finish across all surfaces allowing gravity has ample time to push excesses towards edges before curing begins within a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight.

Trendy Styles and Designs for Your Custom River Table

When it comes to the design of your custom river table, the options are endless. One popular style is to include live edge wood in the design. This means leaving the natural shape of the wood intact rather than cutting it into a straight line. The addition of a live edge adds a touch of rustic charm and uniqueness to your piece.
Another trendy option is to incorporate different colors or elements into your epoxy resin pour. Some people choose to add crystals or stones for an eye-catching effect while others opt for metallic pigments or even glow-in-the-dark powder for added flair.
No matter what style you choose, remember that this is meant to be a unique and personalized piece that reflects your individual taste and personality. So take some time to experiment with different styles and designs until you find one that truly speaks to you!

How Much Should You Pay for a High-Quality Custom River Table?

When it comes to custom river tables, the price can vary greatly depending on several factors. The size and complexity of the design, as well as the type of wood and epoxy resin used will affect the cost. High-quality river tables that are made with exotic woods can be particularly expensive due to their rarity.
On average, a basic 6-foot table could cost anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 while a larger or more intricate design could run upwards of $5,000 or more. It's important to remember that investing in a high-quality piece will pay off in the long run as these pieces are built to last for generations.
If you're looking for an affordable option or have your heart set on a certain design but don't want to break the bank, consider working with local artisans who specialize in creating custom furniture. They may offer competitive pricing compared to bigger companies and can often provide personalized attention throughout the process.
Ultimately, when it comes time to purchase your custom river table make sure you do your research and get quotes from multiple sources before making a final decision.

Maintaining the Beauty of Your Custom Epoxy River Table Over Time

After investing in a beautiful custom river table, it's important to take proper care of it so that it can continue to delight you and your guests for years to come. One key element of maintenance is preventing damage from heat sources, as epoxy resin can become soft or even melt at high temperatures. Always use coasters or trivets under hot dishes, and avoid placing anything too hot directly on the table.
Regular cleaning is also essential for preserving the beauty of your river table. Use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaner specifically designed for use on epoxy surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia or bleach which can cause discoloration over time.
If scratches do occur on the surface of your table, a quick fix is using a polishing compound specifically made for epoxy resin surfaces. For deeper scratches, consult with an expert in furniture repair rather than attempting DIY fixes that could make matters worse.
With proper care and attention, your custom river table will remain both functional and stunning for many years to come!
In conclusion, custom river tables are more than just a piece of furniture - they're works of art that can add beauty and elegance to any space. With the right combination of wood and epoxy resin, you can create a stunning focal point in your home or office that is sure to impress. Remember to choose high-quality materials and work with experienced craftsmen who have mastered the art of pouring epoxy resin. Whether you prefer classic styles or trendy designs, there's a custom river table out there for you. And with proper maintenance and care, your beautiful new piece will continue to shine for years to come. So go ahead and explore the world of custom river tables- we guarantee that it will be an experience worth having!

I will leave the story of the title in the last paragraph
Need for Speed Rivals was released in 2013 and like many NFS games lately have some amazing things to it and some very strange decisions that keep the game down
Talking graphics the game holds up very well, if you squint you can mistake it for a new gen title, there isn't much Verity in scenary, it's mostly hillsides and trees but it's beautiful nonetheless, there is a slight desaturation always present which gives the game a bit of a darker look. The car models as always are really good
The Sound design is actually surprisingly good, even compared to the newer titles, each car from first to last sounds like an absolute powerhouse, slamming into other cars has a satisfying umph to it
The handling is pretty heavy, with quite a bit of downforce sticking you to the road, it's definitely more grip focused but can still maintain a proper drift with little problems, the sense of speed is amazing and it's genuinely thrilling going 200+ onto oncoming traffic
The map is pretty small, or atleast feel that way with mostly highways and wide open roads which present a wide playground for police encounters and allow for speed but miss out on quick turns and handling challenges most of the time
The campaign is a series of challenges separated by cutscenes for stories which you do to unlock cars and increase your level, these challenges range from winning races, taking on cops to smaller challenges like jumping a set distance, driving at a set speed etc
The main draw of the game I would say is the ability to play as both Racers and Cops, and you do exactly what you think you do as the two in a NFS game, you race and take down cops as racers and you take down racers as cops, both have their own campaigns, their own challenges and their own cars to choose from
The cops in the game are pretty well done, they have problems like being able to rubberband like nobody's business but for the most part they get the fantasy of a chase just right, you have two "weapons" at your disposal and so do the cops, the weapons range from shock ram, emp, spickstrip to turbo that makes you go super fast but it's very difficult to stop and turn, probably my favourite part is that unlike other NFS games nothing is halted when you are in a chase you can start races while in a chase, you can get repaired indefinitely during a chase, you can enter your safe house even if you are in the middle of a chase and this might make it sound like the game will be easy but no, on higher heat levels your car will feel like it's made of paper, one crash or 2 cop attacks will make you go critical so even getting to a safe house is a challenge, the standard risk reward is there, the more you stay out the more your multiplayer is, if you get busted you lose everything the standard but it works great
Car customisation is very bad, there are no body parts to change, not even spoilers, your car's body will look identical to every other player with that car, you can't change the rims either, colors on cars are unlimited, you can use a slider to make any color but the cool effects are missing just gloss, metalic or matte. Rims have a limited number of colors, there are a limited number of strips, decals, body paint and you have no control over the placement, it's all prebuilt, this is without a doubt the worst part of the game
Talking about weird things with the game, you can't start a new game, its impossible, your game is bound to your account and you can only progress further so on this replay I already had most of the cars, almost all the events I have gold already and the campaign was 100% complete. Not being able to stay again is such a werid decision I don't understand why, you also can't pause the game even if you are playing solo
Overall tho the game is definitely worth playing if you like racing games
Now for context on the title, I played NFS rivals way back when it released, almost 100% it because I liked it a lot, ofcourse being that it was 9-10 years ago I slowly forgot about the game and I always thought I played it on my uncle's account rather than mine because all my purched games are on steam, I don't buy games on the Ubi launcher or the EA launcher or the Blizzard launcher etc. So because it wasn't in my steam library I always thought I never owned the game I thought of buying it in steam but I had already gotten my fill so it wasn't high on my priority list, ofcourse I don't use my EA app like ever because you don't need to login to run EA games via steam so I never log it(even when I have to I don't browse the app just log in and minimise it), recently I did to see if it had any NFS games that steam didn't only to find Rivals tucked in a corner in my library and to say I was surprised would be an understatement

Godzilla

GRAWWWWWWWWR

The Calico is a research vessel that sails all around the world investigating mysterious phenomenon. This often results in the ship's crew encountering all sorts of monstrous creatures and other dangers, but luckily they have friends in low places. With a push of the button (or a scream from their pet monster Godzooky), they are able to send a signal into the ocean's depths, summoning Godzilla to their aid. Using his fire breath, laser eyes, and incredible strength, Godzilla acts as a protector of humanity that constantly finds himself doing battle with other monsters and generally helping people that are in danger.

Long but please read, need honest advice
So we are buying a completed new build across the country (wasnt built for us, spec built, then listed, so basically like any other purchase, there was no builder contract signed), purchase price 713k (closing is 06/06 but its an away closing so we need to sign docs 06/03). We had an inspection that showed a few things. Our realtor sent an addendum and builders agent agreed to fix everything, let's say by 05/21 (written in the addendum). So come 05/21 I ask our realtor if I should call the inspector to schedule a time for him to go out and verify repairs. My realtor said he will take care of that no problem, which isn't out of the norm, my realtor scheduled and was present for original inspection.
Few days go by past 05/21 and I text our agent asking if he scheduled the re inspection. He says not yet, he wants to wait until all repairs are made. I'm confused, all repairs should be made by now but I dont question it, I assume our agent knows what he is talking about.
Come 05/29 I text our agent again asking if the inspection was done. Nope not yet, agent says "I'll have him go out tomorrow when all repairs should be done". At this point I call our agent and ask what he is talking about, the addendum says 05/21 for repairs to be completed, not 05/30. He looks at the addendum and goes "oh guess I got my dates wrong, no big deal, I'll still have the inspector go out tomorrow 05/30"
Inspector goes out, 2 minor things not completed. Our realtor says no big deal he will ask the builder warranty rep to fix them before final walk-through on 06/01
Mid day 05/31 ask our agent if builder rep completed the items, agent says he hadn't heard back from builder rep but its no problem, he will see the rep tomorrow morning 06/01 during final walk-through (we are across country and will not be present)
Final walk-through day. Everything but those 2 repairs are done, builder rep says he will have them done next day and our realtor says he will go out after they are done to confirm. This is where the disagreement starts
I call our realtor and said this is unacceptable, builder rep is not honoring final walk-through protocol, being nobody should have access after final walk-through and that builder didn't hold up their end of when repairs were agreed to be made and that he our agent isnt standing up for our interests
Our realtor says I'm overreacting, we need to give them leeway. At this point I lay the hammer down and tell our realtor that if repairs are not made today with you present during all repairs or if anyone other then him has acess to the property after today, final walk-through will need to be rescheduled and closing delayed.
At this point I am also openly questioning our realtors ethics and ask him if he is doing what's best in our interests, explain to him we are in this mess because of your date confusion and again he blows it off to I am overreacting
So I tell him straight forward, repairs done today in your presence or deal falls through and no one gets paid. Basically making me be the A hole to a builder rep who I am going to have to deal with for the next year
Disagreement did get pretty heated, I asked our agent if he works for us, if he is doing everything in our best interest, why isn't he standing up to the builder for not holding their end of the deal. I ask him if closing needs to be delayed and if I need a new agent in that time.
Well repairs were made that day and our realtor recorded them as they were being done and sent us the video, again making us seem like the unreasonable one
I don't know how much of above was relayed to the builder rep, because I text him and thank him for getting the repairs done and sorry about the problems and he never texts me back. So idk if that relationship is strained, I will need to deal with him with any warranty claims for the next year.
Anyways I am seriously confused on how to go forward with our realtor now. What sucks is we are closing 06/06 but probably won't move out there for another 3-4 weeks, so I was going to ask him to set the thermostat, shut off main water and just drive by the location every so often (realtor lives in same town so it's not a far drive). He came recommended and is supposed to be the go to realtor for big relocation moves like this but at this point he just made everything more stressful, got paper work mixed up early on, didn't verify info, we always had to be on top of him.
I haven't communicated with him since all that and even after getting dates wrong and prolonging everything he never not once apologized for his mistake
I'm still upset about how he handled our concerns and want to have another talk with him but not sure how that will play out
Thoughts, please

Going with the cheapest bid for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) work can be a bad idea for several reasons:
Quality: A cheaper bid may indicate that the contractor is cutting corners on the quality of materials or workmanship. This can lead to HVAC systems that don't work as well or break down more easily, resulting in higher maintenance costs down the line.
Experience: A cheaper bid may also indicate that the contractor lacks experience or training. This can result in improper installation or repairs that can damage the HVAC system or even pose a safety risk.
Hidden costs: The lowest bid may not include all necessary components or may have hidden costs that will be added later. This can lead to unexpected expenses and a higher overall cost in the long run.
Lack of warranty: Cheaper bids may not come with a warranty, leaving you responsible for any repairs or replacement costs that may arise.
It's important to consider factors beyond just the cost when selecting an HVAC contractor. Look for a reputable company like 1st Choice Quality Heating & Air with experience, good reviews, and fair pricing, and always ask for a detailed breakdown of the bid to ensure you're getting what you need.

I bought a house in January 2021 with a brand new Ruud heat pump - installed in Sept 2020 for the previous owner. 2 months ago (so less than 3 yrs old) one night I noticed the system was running on cool but failing to keep temp to 72. Went to the handler and water is dripping out the bottom thru filter. Turned system off, opened it up and it was an ice box inside.
Called an HVAC company (not the ones who installed the system) and a tech came out after hours and pretty quickly diagnosed a refrigerant leak. He said it was a slow leak and that it was coming from the weld where the refrigerant line meets the condenser outside. He described the weld done by the installer as sloppy but said something to the effect of "good luck getting them to own up to it - they'll claim it was fine when they did it and that it could have been damaged/tampered with after." Quoted me $1,600 to fix.
I convinced myself to get a second opinion from the company that did the install for the previous owner and give them a chance to make it right if it was their error. FWIW they have a 4.9 star aggregate rating on Google vs most of the other companies which seem to be in the 4.4 - 4.7 range. Tech came out and said there was no leak but rather that the TXV valve was bad. He quoted me $1,400 to fix it. Sounded high given the part is under warranty, but he said the warrantied part is only a couple hundred and the $1,400 is for all the labor plus additional parts that need to be replaced when a TXV is replaced. Against my better judgment I agreed as he sounded convincing and at least it was less than the other company quoted.
Less than 1 month later the same thing happened again - air handler iced over. Called the installing company and got the service manager who was apologetic, said he would send out a senior tech with 20+ years experience and make it right. Second tech said there is indeed a leak where the first company said. He said his leak detector only picked it up when he turned the system on heat which uses higher pressure, implying that this is why the previous tech missed it. He said he fixed the leak and didn't charge me anything.
Barely 24 hours later, FOR THE THIRD TIME the same thing happens - air handler iced over and I hear a whistling sound from the freon line. I'm waiting on a call back from the service manager.
I'm a first time homeowner. I know Murphy's law and all that but I expected some peace of mind buying a house with a brand new system so I'm incredibly stressed and frustrated right now. Could there be some underlying problem that a tech with 20+ years really missed? How likely is it that the root cause is connected to their install? Should I be thinking of suing these people at this point? I'm tempted to call another company but then I'd have to pay and I cannot imagine being $3,000+ invested in repairs to a system that is less than 3 years old.

I’ve spent the last couple of days helping repair the damage to the town from the attack. The events of that day keep replaying in my mind. I’m convinced something was off but I can’t but my finger on it. As I think about this, I lay down a sheet of singles. I make the nails hover above it and slam down. Securing the sheet to the wood.
“Papa Bones.” A woman named Elizabeth calls out.
I straighten up and wipe my forehead with a rag. “Yes?”
Elizabeth wands me a glass of water. “It is absolutely hot out here. Thought you could use this.”
I take the glass. “Thank you. I take a drink and say. “I should be done here in a hour.”
“Thank you for helping us…it’s just…”
“Just what?” I ask.
“It’s just…you’re not abusing your powers helping us. Are you?”
I give her a warm smile. “I can see where you are coming from but no. I’m protector of Ayzian. I use my powers to protect and help. Even if I’m just putting shingles on. So no. I’m not abusing my powers.
Elizabeth smiles back. “I just wanted to make sure that you wouldn’t displease the Loa by helping like this.”
“I appreciate your concern.”
I finish the water and hand the glass back. “If it makes you feel better. I’m repairing a chicken coop after this. It’s a smaller project so I will be using a hammer.” I teases.
“Sounds good.” Elizabeth says before becoming serious. “If you need anything, just ask.”
“I will. Thank you.”
Elizabeth nods and climbs down the ladder. I look around. By the looks of it, I will need two more sheets of singles. I look down and two more sheets float out of the bag and up to me. I secure them and true to my word, I was done with the repairs in about a hour. I clean up the area and say my goodbyes. Like usual, the afternoon was hot as hell and I decide to cool down at Pops’s restaurant. I walk to the restaurant and when I walk in I close my eyes.
“Your black ass going to stand there all day and block the customers from coming in?”
I open my eyes and look at Pops. “I happen to be a customer.”
“What do you want?” Pops asks.
“Ice tea. Large.” I ask.
Pops points to the ice tea dispenser. “You know where it is.” Then he walks into the kitchen.
I grab a glass and fill it with ice and pour the tea. I sit down as Marcus walks out of the kitchen. “Julian!”
I take a sip and nod. “Hey, Marcus. Working the lunch rush?”
He stands behind the counter. “Yeah. My shift is almost over.”
It’s been a bit since we talked. “How are things?” I ask.
“Good. Good. I’m learning a lot from Pops. He says I will be able to contact a Loa soon.”
I lean back and smile. “Excellent. How is the cooking lessons going?”
Marcus smiles. “Even better. Pops says I got talent and here in a few years. My gumbo will be as half as good as his.”
I chuckle. “You know what that means, right?”
“No. What?”
“You are very good.” I say.
“Really? How come he don’t say that?”
“Compliments from Pops is rarely given out. To be your age and for him to say that means you are very good. You just got to know how Pops works.”
“Cool.”
“The ultimate judge is my friend Faust. She loves Pops’s gumbo. You get a thumbs up from her, you got something special.”
“I’ll have to cook for her one day.” Marcus says.
“Oh, she would love that.”
“Hey, can I ask you a question?”
I take another sip. “Sure.”
“I made a dish. Blackened chicken on some fettuccine alfredo. I like it. My mom likes it.”
“Pops is giving you static.” I add.
“Yeah. He says it’s not a good fit for the restaurant because it’s not traditional Cajun cooking. But I think it will do good here.”
I take another sip before answering. “Pops is old as hell and set in his ways but there is a way.”
“How?” Asks Marcus.
“Faust. Her word goes a long way with Pops. Impress her and her word will almost guarantee it will be sold here.”
“Ok. How do I do that? When is she coming here?”
I finish my iced tea. “I’ll tell you what. You make it and some gumbo and I will take it to her.”
“You will?” Asks Marcus.
“Sure. I always support young entrepreneurs.”I say.
“Sweet!”
I hold a hand up. “Easy there. I’m busy right now. Here in a few days when the town is squared away. I’ll do it.”
“Thanks Julian.”
“No problem.” I say.
Pops walks out of the kitchen. “Boy, you done corrupting my worker?”
“Almost. Word on the street is that Marcus’s gumbo is as good as yours.” I say.
Pops hurumphs. “Huh. I don’t know about all of that. He is a better dishwasher than you.”
Me and Marcus share a smile.
“Sir, I cleaned the tables. Can I go now?” Marcus asks.
“Yeah, I saw you prepared the okra.”
“I sure did.” Marcus says.
“Sure. Can you swing by and help at dinner?”
“I sure can, sir.”
Pops looks at me. “I don’t know why people complain about todays youth. He works harder than your lazy ass.”
“That’s my cue to leave.” I say as I stand. I look at Marcus. “Walk you home?”
“Sure.”
We leave Pops and enter the heat of the early afternoon.
“I can’t wait to make my blackened chicken for Faust.”
“I’m sure it will be a hit.” I say.
“Hey, Julian. What was that thing in the sky the other day? My mom was scared.”
“I don’t blame her. I was kinda scared myself.”
“You were scared?” Asks Marcus.
“Sure. Why wouldn’t I be? As far as what it was. I couldn’t tell you what it was. It was odd. I hope it won’t happen again.”
“What if it does?”
“Then Papa Bones will protect the town again.”
We walk another few steps before I speak again.
“No matter what. The Loa help us. My situation is more condensed than the standard practitioner of Voodoo. For example, Marionette of the dry arms.”
“What about her?” Asks Marcus.
“She loathes enslavement. She has helped us break our chains both metaphorically and literally. That’s why Ayzian is the way it is. All are welcome here.”
“I see.”
“That is why there are so many Loa. We have many needs. From gardening to love.”
“Is there a Loa for homework?” Marcus asks.
I chuckle. The question every young person asks. Myself included once upon a time. “While there are some Loa that can help. They can only help not do the work for you.”
“Are you sure?”
I put a hand on his shoulder. “Yes.”
“Damn it.”
I chuckle a little harder now.
As we walk through the town park, I see a group of children sitting around Vincent.
“What’s going on?” Asks Marcus.
“Well, his name is Vincent. He’s new to town. He seems quite skilled and helped during the attack.”
We walk and stand next to a tree and watch. Vincent seems to be telling a story. The children are enraptured.
“The wind was howling.” Vincent’s says as he spreads his hands.
“Wasn’t the hurricane? Asks a child.
Vincent points to them. “Yes but it was the worst hurricane ever seen. And just like that…BOOM,”
The group gasps.
“Two eyes appeared in the storm. The eyes spoke with a powerful voice that shook the ground. Papa Bones came to me and you know what he said? He said he didn’t know if he could do this. You know what I told him?”
Many of the children shake their heads no.
“I told Papa Bones. I said, Papa Bones. You are the champion of the Loa and maybe the world. You can defeat this evil.”
Children stay quiet. Vincent continues.
“He said to me. I don’t know if I’m strong enough. Will you help me?”
“Is that how it happened?” Marcus asks me.
I lean against the tree. “It most certainly not the way it happened.”
Vincent starts walking around. Looking at each child as he passes them. “Then I said. It would be my honor Papa Bones. Fly, fly to the sky and I will distract it. Papa Bones held my shoulders and said Vincent, you are a good friend to me and the Loa.”
Marcus looks at me and I say. “Those words were never spoken.”
Vincent continues his tall tale. “So there we were. Papa Bones and I. Papa Bones took to the air and started throwing fireballs, which did nothing.”
That part angers me.
“As the one sided fight continued. The Loa touched me…”
Vincent takes a pregnant pause.
“Do you know what they said to me?”
The children shake their head no.
“They said, Vincent. Perhaps we have need for a second champion. Then…then I felt a great power enter me.”
“This is bullshit.” I mumble.
“I was also given the knowledge of what to do. I called up to Papa Bones and I said. Papa! Stand aside! The Loa are with us and they are here to help through me. Can you guess what happened next?”
Many of the children shake their head no.
“With my new found knowledge. I knew what to do. During the fight the Loa had opened a hole in the clouds. I knew where the sunbeam was going to land so I got into position and reflected it back to the monster. The reflected sun greatly hurt the monster.”
Vincent takes a pause.
“It is now when Papa Bones’s little fireballs could hurt the monster. Together we raised the winds and tore the cloud monster apart.”
The children cheer.
“That’s right. When the clouds disappeared and the sun returned. Papa Bones flew down to me and said. Thank you Vincent. I couldn’t save Ayzian without you. I said to him. It was my pleasure Papa Bones. We are both children of the Loa. Your fight is my fight.”
I’ve had about enough of this. I take a step forward. “An interesting story.”
Vincent looks up and sees me. “It is. Children. That will be enough stories for today.”
The children get up. Many pass me and I smile and say hi to them as they pass. When the children are gone, I walk towards Vincent. “Telling lies to children?”
Vincent smiles at me. “Every story need’s embellishment.”
“Embellishment maybe but not lies.” I counter.
“Come now, Papa Bones. Is your ego so fragile, you can not stand thinking you may have needed help?”
“I believe that story reflected your ego. Not mine.”
“There is no harm in what I said.” Vincent states.
“Yes. There was. Most of that was fabrication. I will not allow you to lie to the children.”
“A good story does not rely on only the truth.”
I step towards Vincent. “Let’s see if the Loa agree. I can take us to the crossroads and Legba can give us his opinion.”
Vincent smile fades. “There’s no need for such an extreme response.”
I take one more step towards Vincent. “Oh, it’s no problem. We can go right now.”
“Like I said. It was only a harmless story. I must be going. Good day.”
Vincent walks away and Marcus walks up to me. “You don’t like him. Do you?”
I watch Vincent as he walks. “No. I don’t believe I do.”

Living in Northern Virginia means experiencing a wide range of weather conditions throughout the year, from scorching summers to chilly winters. In such a climate, having a reliable HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is crucial for maintaining comfort in your home or office. This blog post will delve into the importance of HVAC service in Northern Virginia and highlight the key benefits of regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.

1. Extending Equipment Lifespan

Your HVAC system is a significant investment, and you want it to last as long as possible. Regular HVAC service in Northern Virginia can help extend the lifespan of your equipment. Professional technicians will inspect and clean the components, identify any potential issues, and perform any necessary repairs or adjustments. By addressing minor problems early on, you can prevent them from escalating into major malfunctions that could lead to costly replacements.

1. Enhancing Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a top concern for homeowners and businesses in Northern Virginia, given the impact on utility bills and the environment. HVAC service plays a vital role in optimising energy efficiency. During maintenance visits, technicians will assess the system's performance, clean or replace air filters, lubricate moving parts, and ensure proper airflow. These actions can significantly improve the system's efficiency, resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower utility costs.

1. Ensuring Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is essential for the health and well-being of occupants. In Northern Virginia, where homes and buildings are often sealed tightly to conserve energy, maintaining good indoor air quality becomes even more critical. HVAC service involves cleaning and inspecting air ducts to remove accumulated dust, debris, and allergens. Regular filter replacement ensures that the system effectively traps pollutants, preventing them from circulating in the air. By keeping your HVAC system well-maintained, you can create a healthier indoor environment for your family or employees.

1. Enhancing Comfort Levels

One of the primary functions of an HVAC system is to provide comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year. Regular HVAC service ensures that your system operates at its peak performance, delivering consistent heating or cooling as desired. Technicians will check thermostat calibration, inspect the electrical connections, and calibrate the system to achieve optimal comfort levels. This attention to detail can help eliminate hot and cold spots, reduce humidity levels, and provide a more comfortable living or working environment.
Conclusion :
HVAC service in Northern Virginia is not just a luxury but a necessity to combat the region's varying weather conditions. By investing in regular maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your HVAC equipment, enhance energy efficiency, improve indoor air quality, and ensure maximum comfort. It is recommended to schedule professional HVAC service at least twice a year to prevent breakdowns and keep your system running smoothly. Don't overlook the importance of HVAC maintenance and choose a reputable service provider in Northern Virginia to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system.

(Holy shit, long post incoming)
I think I'm writing this because the person I needed to write this to, her family, my family and her friends never want to hear from me again. My friends, are non-exsistent and the only friends that I have made in the last year are all connected to AP and I never want to go back there. I think I'm looking for perspective and advice on what I can do going forward and if anybody has any encouragemnet or even reality checks for me. I'll try to keep it brief but surely there will be points I'm skipping over. Hope none of this sounds familiar but if it does let me know what worked/didn't work how you are now.
The affair started last June. I had always had problems with my ego and they were hightened because I was off medication I had been prescribed for basically all of my adult life. I made some friends at my first job of my new career (That my BP(31F) helped me get and supported me in getting). Things were going okay but BP and I were having fights and I was starting to tell her I was considering it okay to sleep with other women (I had fantasized about threesomes and other women sometimes, and I was a virgin before I met her so couple that in with my weak character and ego issues it was a disaster waiting to happen). At the time I argued with her and told her that she doesn't care about my feelings and to stop brushing me off when I talked about those things. It got heated a lot of the time and I'm not proud of the way I acted. It was really bad, I had gaslit her, verbally abused her and acted like she was the problem.
Anyways, in May of last year I switched jobs and one of the friends from the old job reached out to connect because she was sad I was going. We always found it easy to talk to each other and were always the talketive ones in our group. I agreed and was thrilled to have a friend actually want to hang out with me outside of work. We met up, I was honest with my BP and told her I was having drinks and was excited that somebody wanted to hang out with me.
The AP(29F) knew that I spoke about my BP lots and loved her. I told her all about how I wanted to propose and showed her the ring and told her often about how excited I was. She would pry and ask questions and I would talk about anything. She was one of these "Open Book" types who acted shy but never shut up and I have always liked people I could just listen to for hours without needing to say anything. Our conversations got more and more personal and eventually I made my first mistake of telling her(AP) about our(BP and I) fights about me considering Poly and threesomes.
There's nothing wrong with that she said. She morally did not object to those kinds of things and didn't think I would be a bad person if I chose that path. Eventually my BP would see past these issues if she loved me and really wanted me to be who I was. I fell for it, told her that if anything were to happen there would be some rules:

1. My GF couldn't know about it
2. We could still be friends if my GF found out or I told her and she was adamantly against it
3. Our friendship was what was really important so I would like to remain friends.

She agreed and looking back that's when my entire mind shifted from a mildly shitty person, to the darkness I couldn't come back from.
There's a lot to cover here and I've already wasted enough of your (The reader's) time so I'll just skim over some more details but first:
A couple of days later, BP and I took a trip where I planned a special proposal. I had wanted to propose this way since I was a kid and I'll spare the details for identity sake but anybody close to the situation will already know what this is about. It was a wonderful trip. Proposal went smooth, we had so many experiences together, and it all ended with us getting COVID (Not part of the fun, but still)
When we got back AP and I had started intensive messaging. She was a good distraction while we were sick. I was less symptomatic and BP was in bed a lot. So between taking care of BP and resting up myself I had a lot of free time to text. This would last for almost nine months without slowing down. I met up with AP after recovering somewhat and we went to a bar, there was a lot that happened with her and eventually we kissed.
Skipping over a lot here, but a month later a kiss turned into sex, and sex turned into regular visits between her place and mine. BP travelled for work and sometimes AP really wanted to stay over at our (BP and mine's) home. I absoltutely disrespected our sanctuary and not only cheated but completely disrespected anything we built.
This would continue for months and months. BP and I became more strained. I did not hide how much we spoke but I hid how bad it got. I would feel guilty when she would call me out and I did what all cheaters do and gaslight her into thinking she was the issue. I wanted so badly not to feel worse than I did, and honestly I don't even know if I should say that because no human being does that and has guilt. I thought I did but maybe I was just fooling myself.
AP got tired of waiting around for me to open things up and just wanted us to have more and more time together. In some sick way I felt I owed her for being so good and understanding while I was figuring myself out. I was completely lost in the fog. AP was going through tough family times and played the sympathy card and eventually when I started going back on my pill I was slowly coming out of the fog. It got so bad that at one point I wanted to spend time with my BP before she went away on a work trip so AP got drunk and slept with somebody else.
I was so split and it's like she knew exactly how to pull me right back into the fog. I started to feel sorry for her (She said she was assaulted. I'll never victim blame, if that's her story then fine. But I made the decsion to be there for her when it should never have been my problem to deal with). AP and I decided that I should tell BP what happened so that it would ease her into undertstanding us better.
So that's what happened. I kept playing the card like AP and I were suffering and BP was being irrational. I gaslit BP and made her feel shitty for not accepting this. I told BP I loved her and wanted the best but really wanted to be my own person and this is who I was. I continued to see AP and told my BP about it saying that I just wanted closure. We never had sex and it was emotional only since October. I wanted to go and get coffees with her (We ended up having sex twice in this time).
BP and I argued because I still would not stop and she eventually said she's going to spend a week at a friends. At this point I was really coming out of the fog and this was a really huge defining moment. I always wanted a little space to think for myself without fighting but I was really coming to. I wanted her back so much and I was tired of being a liar and a cheater. BP would tell me she may want to hangout or reach out to me but I could never see AP again. I promised I wouldn't except for one more time for actual closure this time. BP told me no. I said fine but please come home. She said no. I went to see AP and her friends.
After we drank at a bar I came home and AP was there too. I don't remember much because I was in such a daze and tired of crying so much but she was there too. We slept together one more time. The next day I told her it's completely off and we're not talking any more.
BP eventually ultimately decided she couldn't come back home. I was distraught, gave her space to see our cats and spent the night in an AirBNB. AP reached out and I told her to go away. I came back home and I was told to leave. I spent the weekend with my parents where I maintained the EA story and eventually came back to see the cats were gone and my BP was no longer wearing her ring.
She didn't want to kick me out because she didn't want to live in a home that I destroyed. She left and found a new place with support from her friends. I was alone and I worked on myself. I got therapy and worked on being a better person but I still had my big secret. I didn't even tell my therapists. I did all the right things otherwise. I gave a timeline of everything (Saving the biggest thing) and made an apology letter that went back to even the early days of our relationship. I worked hard and read lots to find ways better myself.
Eventually I moved out and things were going much better. BP and I were talking better. there was so much hope there. We went out for coffee and smiled the only way I've seen her smile. Genuine love. I was so happy I was doing the right thing for us.
I wasn't, I still had my lie.
We agreed NC for September to just completely work on ourselves. Four days into it I made a final realization.
I can lie for the rest of my life and we can rebuild our beautiful life together and We'll be so happy and I won't have a problem. Then again, I do love her. Actually do. Not just want to get back together, but I actually do love her and I'm actually so sorry I was who I was. Not just to make myself feel better, I started to actually feel worse. It was because I was lying. You don't lie to somebody you love. AP would've lied too. I had nothing to worry about (There is the whole STI thing I should've mentioned but BP had other issues there so I assumed she would need to get a test anyways - she didn't because she believed my lie).
So I told her the truth. Everything. It's D-Day # 2 for her. She was so sure we would find eachother but now she says there's no chance. She's not telling me she cares about me and hopes I find myself, she's now telling me I'm like my father and she feels empty and hollow and I'm a monster. Nothing as bad as before by a long shot. What I did by not telling her was so much worse. What I did by telling her was allow her to feel how she should've always felt. It doesn't make it better for either of us emotionally, but it gives her her freedom back.
Anyways that's a lot and this is a support sub so I guess I just have one final thought and question.
I feel human for the first time since this all happened. Honestly more so than ever in my life. I feel pain and misery for what I did to another human being. I told the truth because I love her when I clearly didn't before and it's like a weird swap. Love her or have her?
Anyways, does anybody think there's a way back? I'm going to continue therapy (With the truth) I'm going to continue working on myself and my hobbies and my happiness but I won't be happy anymore. Humans don't do that and continue to be happy. But is there any hope left?
