Need to have FIL leave the house. Collects SS and not employed.

He is is unbearable to live with. He is selfish and never willing to compromise. Treats my wife like a dog (verbal) and needs to go. Somehow he has gotten his whole bloodline to hate him and also have cut ties. My wife is all he has. Worst comes to worst I don't mind paying some money for a place for him to stay. Any resources anyone can point me towards to get the paper work rolling? Personally I don't care if he ends up on the streets but for my wife's sake I'll help her get a roof over his head. Please help, I don't want this to end our marriage.

VA ABC Gift card not working. Has anyone had this issue?

Title basically says it all, but got an ABC store gift card and I tried to use it, and it won’t work at the store. I call the number on the back to check the balance and it says “northern Virginia is experiencing technical difficulties” everytime I call and the number it directs me to does not seem VA ABC affiliated. I’ve called a few times in the past month with the same message after entering the card number. I’m certain it’s a legit gift card, I compared it to the ones at the store and everything looks exactly the same.

Has anyone had a similar experience trying to use a gift card or check the balance?

Blue Ridge, VA Trip — Things to do, Population, etc

Hi everyone! I had a question about Blue Ridge, VA! I’m going there for a trip and I couldn’t really find anything it besides the scenery. I’m looking for any information about the African-American population, racism, or anything about it being a Sundown City which was a possible worry for us.

Any insight into the place because I love Virginia and I know the scenery is beautiful 😭 but I am also trying to make sure it’s safe so we can ultimately have a relaxing and enjoyable time up there! Thanks a bunch for your responses!

VA Teacher Career Switchers: VCU vs EducateVA program?

Hello! Thanks in advance for any advice! I am looking into alternative licensure to become a teacher. I thankfully meet the qualifications at this time, and am just trying to choose between the VCU program and the Educate VA program (through the VA community college system) since they are relatively comparable in terms of price. Has anyone gone through either of these programs and have any pros and cons, or overall takes on either? Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking of moving back to Virginia from Texas, any recommendations?

I lived in northern VA 15 years ago but moved to Texas for a job. My mother lives in the western part of North Carolina and my in-laws live in Long Island. Any roughly equidistant places I should look at where a house is $400k or less? I'd be happy with the suburbs or even a little more rural where I could set up a woodshop in a shed. (Update) Potentially thinking of the Roanoke area

Beware of charges at State Fair-we were over charged

Beware. State fair food vendors charging for items we didn't order. Just be sure to ask for a receipt and check it or pay cash. I know this is common sense, but a heads up as they did this to us yesterday.

Sample ballot question about changing constitutional amendment

I was looking at the sample ballot, and this is one of the questions on there:

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended so that the tax exemption that is currently available to the surviving spouses of soldiers killed in action is also available to the surviving spouses of soldiers who died in the line of duty?

I didn’t realize there was a difference. What’s the major distinction?

Is the State Fair worth the cost? Considering going but scant info is available.

I've heard it's kind of depressing and small for a state like Virginia, but I'm driving from Nova down to Richmond for a VCU Open House and figured I may spend the evening there on the way back.

Will I be disappointed or should I just do King's Dominion? I'd be looking for that carnival-esque, circus, junk food, rides vibe.

Recommendations of things to do around the Shenandoah area?

We’re thinking of coming down in the middle of next week to visit the park itself for a few days but were wondering if there was anything else in the area that would be cool/fun to visit? Any activities or towns preferably within an hour or so drive from the park? Thanks in advance!

Going to a county jail. What can I expect ? No previous convictions

Basically I have to spend a day in a county jail for 24 hours. I was just wondering a couple things

Will there be other people in my cell ?

Are the toilets openly exposed or is there some privacy ?

Do I need to bring my own toothbrush/toothpaste or will they provide ?

What shoes can I or can I not wear ?

Are jeans allowed ?

Can I bring a water bottle ?

Headed to Grayson County from Richmond tomorrow morning.

Picking up my buddy in Elk Creek to go to another friends’s memorial service in SC.

I’m thinking about 81 to 77 to 58 to Independence. Usually I take 81 to Wytheville and south on 21 but I’m not sure how 21 is looking.

His phone is out and he doesn’t have a mobile so I can’t get the local road conditions from him.

Any Galax / Independence locals on this sub who can tell me about 21 south from Wytheville or 58 west from Galax?

Thanks in advance.

Looking to do a road trip from Richmond to Miami with the Family. Has anyone ever rented a van in Richmond or close to it? If so, do you have any recommendations?

Any sights we should stop at to see on the way?
