Time served for luring a guy into a home with sex so that you can kill him? Can the Commonwealth Attorney be lazier than this?

What's the temperature?

I'm hopeful this group isn't as up tight as the R:/Virginia jackleg in charge of that cesspool. New to Burke area around GMU campus. I came up from Asheville, NC. I am currently working on Sentara surgery hospital campus in Woodbridge, VA.

Possible connections in Fairfax County: Stenwood Elem, Thoreau Middle Oakton High et cetera.

Here are some possible connections I might have with Fairfax County residents. It been decades since I lived there.

Stenwood Elementary, Thoreau Middle School, which I remember being named Thoreau Junior High back then, but it was a long long time ago, Oakton High School, and Northern Virginia Community College.

I lived on Pepperdine and walked up Bowling Green to the Safeway and Super S and the Highs and 7-Eleven. I rode the bus sometimes to, I think Maple Street, and went to the Patrick Henry Library, and went to movies and briefly worked at the Vienna Theatre, and I think the manager there might have been Pete Ross, like in Superman comics. I worked at the Fairfax County Public Library. Does any of that sound familiar? Anyone have pictures to share? I don't have pictures to share.

I was driving along the Herndon- Ashburn stretch of route 28. A car was 10 -20 ft behind me. I signaled for the lane switch, and the car sped to 70 -80 to pass and almost hit me. Is that a thing?

This has happened several times around that scratch

Inaugural Dental Outreach- Volunteers and Oral Hygiene supply donations needed!

Hey everyone! I am looking for volunteers and/or donations for my Inaugural Eli's Smile Project! If you have any friends, family or community members that would like to volunteer or donate dental supplies please let me know! Details at the bottom!

Note: I will NOT accept monetary donations, if you would like to donate money I ask it be sent to Operation Smile which does cleft lip/palate mission trips internationally.

At Eli's Smile project we believe that everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status deserves the right to be treated with respect and receive top dental and health care at all times.

Eli's Smile Project was a small idea after Elijah Boyer, the founder, had his own experience with homelessness at Eleanor Kennedy Shelter in the winter of 2021 where he saw how many people were affected by poor oral hygiene, cavities, tooth pain and lost or decayed teeth who unfortunately due to their circumstances could not afford to see a dentist much less receive dental supplies outside of the donations that were received.

The idea really came to life when he was sitting at the kitchen table late at night researching dental schools and professions and thinking about how he could provide dental outreach in his community of Fairfax, Virginia and boom, it came to him. "Why not provide oral hygiene supplies, education materials and community resource referrals to the homeless shelters, unhoused populations and rehabilitation centers around his community?"

So now, the first Inaugural Eli's Smile Project dental outreach program will visit different hypothermia shelters in the Fairfax county area annually such as Baileys Shelter, Patrick Henry Family Shelter and Eleanor Kennedy shelter, different encampments around the DMV and various rehabilitation centers to provide dental supplies along with oral hygiene education material on December 1, 2024.

We are looking for travel sized floss, toothbrushes, toothpaste, 0% alcohol mouth wash, plus any other oral hygiene or personal hygiene items! I am funding all of it on my own currently so if you know anyone please send them my way or please share this post!

Thanks,
Elijah Boyer

Open container?

Curious - isn’t open container (alcohol) in a running vehicle illegal? Last year; I made an IA complaint about an off duty Fairfax County officer drinking tequila open bottle in a running vehicle. He still works there.

So curious if it’s illegal? Like would a normal citizen get a ticket if caught doing the same? If so, feel as if that’s not fair.

Non-Rent Expenses at The Edmund

Does anyone here live at The Edmund?

If so, how much do you pay in total for everything besides rent (pest control, electric, parking, trash, utilities, internet, etc.)?

I'm trying to figure out how much to expect in additional expenses besides rent.

Seems like the ballots will have local yes/no issues. Anyone care to elaborate on pros/cons for each way to vote?

I know there’s some about military spouse tax exemptions, WMATA payments, and maybe some others

Vet and dentist recos?

Hello! My husband and I are relocating to Fairfax (Merrifield area) this month. 😁 Might anyone have recommendations on a good vet (cat/dog)? Also seeking recommendations on a good dentist (for adults), particularly one who is adept with complications and dealing with high anxiety. TIA!
