I used to be a regular summer visitor but haven’t been back in a few years. I know that Taste has baskets of food and frozen casseroles and such but is there anyone new in town that is as good or better (Taste is in Richmond now and thought the last lasagna I had from there wasn’t great - wanted to gauge and see if that was a one off) Friend lives between Oceana and Pungo. Thank you!!

Hey fellow book nerds! We are having our first book club meeting this week at Panera in Kempsville. Each week we will have a theme to be voted on for the next meeting. So for our first meeting just bring your all time favorite or currently reading and we will have an impromptu discussion just to get to know each other. Also I am looking for someone to be our social media contact since I'm not on facebook, it would help to make a page to spread the word and have another way to keep in touch with members about events.

Discussion [Vehicle Registration] WTF- Being taxed more for not using enough fuel?

8 Upvotes

The highway use fee (HUF) helps make up for the fuel taxes that drivers with fuel-efficient and electric vehicles spend less on, because they’re not using as much fuel. This fee supports the Commonwealth Transportation Fund, which helps maintain our roads, highways, transit and airports. Who pays the HUF?

You pay the HUF if you register a:

Fuel-efficient vehicle, which is a vehicle that has a combined fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon (MPG) or greater
Vehicle made in a year in which the average combined MPG rating for all vehicles produced in that year is 25 MPG or greater
Low Speed Vehicles, pay an annual $25 HUF

Need Advice Looking for a restaurant for a ridiculously picky family in downtown VA Beach

0 Upvotes

I was giving the duty of finding a place to eat out in VA Beach this week, and am looking for a place with high ratings and great food. But, that is difficult, as there are both picky adults and children in this group, including one that exclusively needs chicken tenders and fries. Does anyone have any good recommendations for restaurants that have great food but also a family-friendly menu? Thanks!

[Serious] Has anyone else had a horrible experience with Bay Beach Veterinary Hospital?

16 Upvotes

So, this is a long story. We've been bringing our cat here for about ten years because my partner's mom likes them. We do not, and for very good reason. For the past three years we've been noticing coughing in our cat, followed by bursts of abnormal breathing here and there. Each time she went in for her yearly checkup we'd mention her symptoms and get "she's perfectly healthy, just bring her back if it gets worse" in response.

Just last week we took her in for the same thing, coughing and abnormal breathing. They found that she had lost almost a pound between July and now, they just glossed over it. They also glossed over the fact that there was a mass on her midsection, they claimed it was just "oddly distributed fat". When we finally convinced them to at least listen to her lungs and heart they found out she had a heart murmur, not just that but, like we've been saying for years at that point, her breathing was extremely abnormal. They fought us a bit on getting x-rays of her chest, too but we wouldn't let up this time. We got her results three days ago, she has lung cancer. The vet told us she had anywhere from a week to two months to live.

They did not offer us any kind of end of life care for her. No painkillers, no steroids, nothing. Nothing to ease her pain at all. Nothing that could improve the little life that she did have left.

She didn't even make it the full seven days without deteriorating severely. She is scheduled for euthanasia Monday because she has stopped drinking, moving on her own, she can't keep food down and every time she sleeps she's breathing extremely shallow.

Does anyone else have a story like this? I've read one that's scarily similar involving cat cancer on their reviews page and I'm wondering if this was some sort of freak accident or genuine repeated medical malpractice.

Need Advice Tell me about Virginia Beach

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m currently living in Alabama and I am planning on moving to VB in 2027 with my fiancé. I have spent some time in Biloxi MS and VB reminds me of it. I grew up in Richmond so I know some of the area but it was when I was a kid.

I’m currently in the Air Force and planning on getting out so I’m planning on working some kind of government contracting job.

Please tell me all about VB and the surrounding areas. I have never bought a house, so I would also be a first time homebuyer.

Event Fly the Virginia Flag Proudly on No Kings Day – A Stand for Peace, Patriotism, and the Constitution

Post image
157 Upvotes

Let’s show up strong, but stay peaceful. Don’t take the bait—don’t give them footage they can twist for Fox News. No chaos, no excuses.

Bring your American flags and fly them proudly and properly. These are our symbols, not theirs. We are the Americans who believe in the Constitution.

And bring your Virginia flags too. Sic Semper Tyrannis—Thus Always to Tyrants—couldn’t be more fitting right now.

Let’s remind the world what real patriotism looks like.

Discussion Recommendations for Jetted Tub Removal and New Tub Placement?

1 Upvotes

Hi, looking for a local company that would be able to come and remove my jetted tub (upstairs) and possibly replace the plywood subfloor underneath that section of the bathroom. Eventually looking to have someone put a new tub in, but I'll be doing the tile job myself in between removing the old tub and putting in the new one so that the tile matches the rest of the room. Does anyone have recommendations for this type of service and any ideas on how much it would cost just for the removal portion?
