Looking for people to trial our business

Have you ever wanted to have a painting of your partner, a family portrait, your dog or whatever your favorite photo is? I always loved the idea of painting but unfortunately I'm not the best at it. A few months ago though a friend and I came up with a cool idea, what if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers. That way anyone can paint, anything they want.

We looked up custom paint by numbers and found a few Etsy stores selling them but they were way overpriced and most of them didn't even come with the canvas on a frame. So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers, eventually we managed to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed (you can still order them without a frame but we found most people want them ready to go out of the box).

Long story short though we're trying to grow and get more people talking about us. So we decided it would be a good idea to reach out to some local subreddits and hopefully you'll enjoy them enough to share your experience :)

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early.

Newport News Shipbuilding Drug Testing

I just accepted an offer at NNS in an office position but I won't start until June (graduating this year). Will they drug test me soon, or will it be closer to my start date? I know it's a follicle test, so I'm a little anxious about it - I took an edible about a week ago. Will they let me retest with urinalysis if I fail? I've seen conflicting reports on here from recruiters and others who have had different experiences.

Quiet, low-light restaurants?

I need recommendations for restaurants in NN or Hampton with soft lighting and a more quiet atmosphere. I'm a middle school teacher just getting off work, I feel like I've been hit by a bus 😅 Thanks!

Jeep Mechanic in Hampton Roads

I’m looking for a mechanic or a shop that specializes or does a lot of work on Jeeps. My wife’s 2012 Jeep Liberty has a misfire on cylinder 4 and I don’t want to take it to just any mechanic. I’d like to get the problem fix by someone who knows Jeeps, and isn’t going to waste my time and give me the run around. I’ve done some residual testing and I’m sure the problem is within the fuel side of things.

Newport News commits $1.4 million per year to Riverside Health program aimed at ending cycles of violence

The City of Newport News is dedicating $1.4 million annually to expand Hand in Hand, a violence intervention program based at Riverside Health.

The program puts social workers in the hospital to give patients who have been shot, stabbed or beaten help and support they may otherwise not have — everything from making sure they have housing once they leave the hospital to relieving financial strain by covering hospital bills.

The idea is that by making sure people have the resources they need, they can break cycles of violence that persist in communities across Newport News.

Who does a good mozzarella stick around here?

Bit of an odd request, I know.

Looking for who does the best mozzarella sticks around here. I don't mean your standard run of the mill, frozen string cheese kind of mozz stick you could find at Chili's. I mean real fresh mozz, fine breaded, fried to perfection with some savory marinara. Thank you in advance
