I tried to file mutual divorce a year back, but she never confirmed her identity with the lawyer and she never signed now I went down to the Fairfax County Court and understood that I have to do the separation because she is still under my property. I cannot even evicted without filing separation, so I tried to convince her to file separation and get the notary and she didn’t showed up there too now I’m at that point. I simply have to empty my place once the lease is ended and I just have to go to my place and how can I do divorce from my side? She’s not willing to cooperate in any single thing we have no kids no property.

I recently graduated and i do not have job which can literally pay $5k to lawyers to even start the process.

Just wanted to be out of this mess

She was my high school friend I married during undergrad Now I can’t take her anymore because she becomes crazy abusive every time she gets in her period I have nothing left in my home All furniture has been torn apart by her

Can’t have single meal at home because she simply kicks my whatever i am eating.

Haven’t eaten anything at my own place since year now Recently i was sitting and she simply emptied whole bag of flour on me when I begged her please don’t do that she spit on my face and said i want you to clean this for couple hours

Really don’t know what kind of mental illness she’s going through Only happens on her period week she’s become more and more abusive to me physically and mentally

I haven’t filled any reports thinking I don’t want to ruin her career.

She’s 27 I am 26 . Any help would be greatly appreciated

Bear didn't go down without a fight...

Hello! Any small town suggestions for NYE? In Virginia or anywhere on the east coast?

Where there’s fireworks, scenery, coziness and no crowd?

Last year, went to Lake Chelan in Washington and loved spending the new years there. Would love to go somewhere similar on the east coast!

Thank you for the suggestions!

If you or anyone you know is interested in joining us, send a private message or email TidalWaveIndieClub@gmail.com ! Thank you !

Near Apple Blossom Mall. It's pretty sprawling and it's just been sitting there forever. I'm surprised the county hasn't tried to develop it.

Hey,

So I’ve read some posts and it seems like we can access some sort of fire roads in Virginia but I have no idea how/where to start?

I also saw somewhere we can camp anywhere in certain types of lands in Virginia as long we pay for this annual pass and register each camp trip ahead of time.

I basically just want to go out, drive in the middle of nowhere and do some fishing without all the crowded areas.

Any suggestions ? I also got 4x4 now so I’m semi set on that for easy routes.

Thanks !

VDOT provides traffic and travel information to plan ahead

‘Tis the season for colorful lights, holiday jingles, and increased travel throughout Virginia. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has travel resources available to help make the trip as smooth as eggnog.

VDOT will be suspending many highway work zones and lifting temporary lane closures on interstates and other major roads in Virginia from noon on Tuesday, Dec. 24, until noon on Thursday, Dec. 26, as well as from noon on Tuesday, Dec. 31, until noon on Thursday, Jan. 2.

While lane closures will be lifted in most locations, motorists may encounter semi-permanent work zones that remain in place during this time. Check VDOT’s Travel Advisories for the latest travel alerts in your area and around the state.

Additionally, VDOT offers several resources to help plan travel ahead of time.

TRAVEL TRENDS MAP HELPS ESTIMATE CONGESTION
VDOT's online, interactive travel trends maps for Christmas and New Year’s holiday periods show peak congestion periods anticipated on Virginia interstates during the upcoming holiday travel period. While it cannot precisely predict when congestion will occur this year, it can help motorists avoid travel when traffic has historically moved the slowest.

PLAN AHEAD WITH VDOT 511: TRAFFIC INFO AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
VDOT’s free mobile 511 app offers information about construction, traffic, incidents and congestion as well as access to traffic cameras, weather, electric vehicle charging stations and more. By calling 511 from any phone in Virginia, use 511’s “speak ahead” option for hands-free and eyes-free audible traffic alerts for incidents and construction along your route. Traffic information is also available at 511.VDOT.Virginia.gov.

EXPRESS LANES SCHEDULE AND OTHER INFORMATION
Find directional schedules for the reversible I-95 and I-395 Express Lanes, and information for the I-495 Express Lanes at expresslanes.com.

HAMPTON ROADS TUNNELS AND OTHER INFORMATION
Traveling through Hampton Roads — For holiday travel requiring water crossings between the Hampton Roads Peninsula and Southside during construction of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel Expansion Project, motorists are encouraged to monitor real-time conditions and consider alternate routes such as the I-664 Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel, the Route 17 James River Bridge, the free Jamestown-Scotland Ferry or I-95 to minimize potential delays.

STAY SAFE

Here are some additional tips for safely navigating the roadways during the holiday travel period:

• Buckle up every time and ensure passengers and car seats are secured.
• If you plan to drink, have a designated driver, use public transportation or make plans for a rideshare.
• Be patient and follow the posted speed limit. 
• Consider leaving early to allow extra time to reach your destination.
• Put your phone down and don’t drive distracted.
• Make sure your car is prepared for traveling in colder temperatures, including checking tire pressure and windshield wiper fluid levels and blades.
• Obey the “Move Over” law, requiring motorists to move over one lane, if possible, for all vehicles with flashing lights, flares, or warning signs stopped on the side of the road. If drivers are unable to move over, they should reduce their speed and use caution.

For questions or to report hazardous road conditions, contact VDOT’s 24-hour Customer Service Center by visiting my.vdot.virginia.gov or calling 800-FOR-ROAD (367-7623).

January seems like it’s pretty far off, but it’s really just around the corner.

We’ll use your responses to help guide our coverage during the next few months.

I might be getting a job in Chantilly but really am dreading the thought of the commute. What would be my best options? Are there van services? I think the train from Fredericksburg heads that direction but worried about schedule.

Figured this would be helpful as we start the week off and prepare for more confusing flights and aircraft cruising the skyways over Va...
Edit - figures, misspelled Monday, going to be a long week 🤦‍♂️

We have been living in fairfax, Virginia for few years now. We immigrated from another country with green card upon arrival and are citizens now. We have 2 kids, one 6 and other 1 year old. We are living in apartment and the cost is exceeding beyond our earnings. Due to baby not doing well in daycare and daycare not affordable too, had to leave job. My spouse also doesn't have job right now. So while doing job hunt while using our emergency savings, also thinking if we should move to affordable place after the lease ends. Any suggestions of cities where cost of living is less, have good school rating?

This was the Philpot dam in October 2024. Near Basset, VA. Beautiful area. They had a spy glass viewer there so I snapped a shot with my iPhone camera held up to the viewer. Does this look structurally sound?? The US Army Core of Engineers does admit the area needs some work but insists the dam itself is ok. There was a house for sale down stream from the dam that I was interested in so I worry about these things in light of climate change..
