One of my girlfriends lives in Virginia Beach and does not have health insurance. She wants to be on birth control. What are her options for doing so?

I decided to go back to school, and need to find something that would allow me to work ~3pm-11pm, and can allow me to bring home $650 a week. I also live in the newport news/hampton area and really dont want to cross the water. I have experience in carpentry, customer service, retail, and might be able to talk my way into an entry level sales job. Not super picky, just struggling to find something that fits what I need. Looking for advice.

I am planning a trip to Suffolk next month for about a week vacation. Looking for some decent priced hotels.

Expedia is suggesting the

Red Roof
Brentwood Inn and Suites

Looking at places to move in Hampton Roads and saw this neighborhood
How nice is it for raising a family

I’m 22, work in the Greenbrier area of Chesapeake, and currently live with my mom in Virginia Beach near Holland Rd. I’m looking to move out soon and have been considering Hampton because it seems to have more houses in my price range. VA beach and Chesapeake are all crazy expensive.

I have a very active dog, so I’d really prefer a house with a yard over an apartment. Between pet fees, noise concerns, and probably needing a first-floor unit, apartments just don’t seem ideal for us.

My biggest concern is the commute. I keep hearing horror stories about the HRBT during rush hour, especially getting home in the evenings. I’ve heard people say it can randomly take over an hour just to get through the tunnel. I’m wondering if the MMBT is realistically any better, or if it just depends where in Hampton you live.

I’ve looked at Norfolk too, but a lot of the areas in my budget felt sketchier than the Hampton areas I’ve seen. I’d also prefer to avoid Portsmouth.

So I’m stuck because Hampton seems to check every box except the commute.

For anyone who commutes from Hampton/Newport News to Chesapeake:
- Is it really that bad?
- Does the MMBT help at all?
- Are there certain areas that make the commute more manageable?

Would love honest opinions/experiences.

Based on current information, this is how the price of a gallon of gasoline is affected by various taxes and fees:

18.4¢ federal gas tax (unchanged since 1993)

31.7¢ Virginia statewide motor fuels tax

9.3¢ Virginia wholesale/regional fuels tax

0.6¢ storage tank fee

≈ 60¢ total taxes and fees per gallon

Note: the "regional" taxes are typically included in the wholesale pricing, not at the pump.

Hey guys, I’m (24 M) moving to Virginia Beach from Maryland. I won’t know anyone down here so looking for ways to connect with people. I’m fairly active so I’ve looked into Pickleball I’m open to joining any sports league or pick ups. I go to a lot of concerts mostly pop punk, indie and country so please let’s hit em together. I also do a lot of board games like Catan. In MD I always go to outdoor breweries in the summer so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Any recommendation is great.

I know HRBT traffic is a pain. Not to mention the construction/accidents on top of that. Are y’all excited about the planned outcome? How much shorter (time wise) would your commute be after completion?

The overwhelming majority of the other women I see on Bumble BFF are: 1) in their early 20s, 2) only here temporarily, 3) moms seeking other moms, ​and/or 4) can't be bothered to list a hobby or interest on their profile, let alone hold a conversation. :,)

I've made one rad friend on the app who I hang with on the regular, but I'd love to make more! I'm a night owl and child-free Democrat in my early 30s who loves critters, horror movies and books, and finding oddball stuff to do on FB events.✌️

I’m in Virginia and have an apartment judgment listed in General District Court. I’m not disputing the judgment, I’m actively trying to pay it and get it marked satisfied so I can secure housing and move on with my life.
Here’s what’s happened so far:

I've contacted the old property management, and they said they no longer manage the property and no longer have access to my file and have redirected me back to the leasing office.

I contacted the leasing office, and they said they don’t have my files anymore because it was sent to the old property management and don’t know when they’ll receive them.

I contacted the new property management, and the regional manager acknowledges the old property management closed their accounts due to no longer managing the property and said they’re still waiting on the old management to transfer everything over but until that happens they can't give me my final balance /pay off amount , who i need to pay or can't satisfy my judgment .

This has been going on for 3 months.

I even tried taking it back to General District Court, but the judge told me there was nothing they could do because the judgment was already entered. The attorney who showed up said there was nothing she could do either because she no longer represents that company anymore and due to management change a new attorney represents them .

I contacted the new attorney and they said they don't have anything for me in their system and redirected me back to the leasing office .

Ive also reached out to Legal Aid without much help.
What makes this even more confusing:

The judgment is not in collections

It’s not on my credit report

It’s only showing as an active judgment on the Virginia court website

I’m currently living in a hotel, and at this point I’m honestly exhausted. I’m not trying to avoid this debt I’m trying to do the opposite.
I simply need to know who legally owns this debt, who can accept payment, and how I can get this judgment satisfied so I can move on with my life.
Has anyone in Virginia dealt with something like this? What did you do? Who did you contact? Is there something I haven’t tried?
