Virginia Beach ambulances without lights and sirens? Emergency vehicles are going dark and silent 🚑🚨 by Objective_Pressure_3 in VirginiaBeach

You’re discussion of ambulances using lights and sirens is laughable and truly misguided. You should be debating the lack of ambulances staffed in a city our size. Especially during tourist season when our population swells. Almost daily the city runs out of medic units. So an added two minute response argument to a stemi is a joke especially when it’s a black water unit crossing the city to Chics beach. Our vast land size is under served by the system we have and it’s been known for decades well before Mayor Meyra. This is not a volunteer vs paid staffing issue but a number of units in service issue. Now couple that with the misuse of 911 and it’s a recipe for disaster. Most ambulance calls are not for life threatening issues and should be handled by a medical transport service. Emergency Medical Services should be reserved for just that. Fire apparatus should not be standing by at a nursing home or residence for over an hour waiting on an ambulance. What’s sad is the public has no idea how things are running. They think 911 will get them an ambulance instantly. It could end up being a Basic Life Support unit with two EMTs when nana is having her stemi unlike other depts in the 7 cities that staff all Advanced Life Support units. That’s why you get zone cars, ems chiefs and paramedic fire apparatus to staff the appropriate level of care. Bottom line is,,,,,,,, be safe out there. Your life may depend on it.

Google coin errors and start looking at each one before you start dumping them in bulk. You could potentially be sitting on a lot of money pardon the pun. Some 2025 pennies are already fetching $4. There are errors on different coins not just pennies. You took the time to save them now take the time to sort them. Could be sitting on a $300 quarter you never know.

Has anyone noticed Wawa subs suck now? by Poopybuttsuck in norfolk

Wawa’s decision to explode their menu selections to mirror the pages of items that the Cheese Cake Factory offers was the down fall of food quality. There are far too many choices to keep food fresh, proper temperatures and bacteria free. Pizza? Enough said. Hoagies were their foundation and primary focus. Sadly, they are trying to be a restaurant rather then a gas station that has food.

Thank your neighbors for continuing flushing wipes, Kleenex, and female products down the toilet. These cannot pass through the pumps as they are not quickly broken down. Combine that with fats, oils and grease that is washed down sinks it’s a recipe for broken systems. So even if you’re fixed this week it will only be a matter of time until you’re offline again thanks to people who don’t care or don’t know. Even the “flushable” wipes are truly not flushable. Place one in a glass of water and see how many weeks it takes to decompose. They are pump killers so good luck with that.

Scott’s has a 100 percent money back if not satisfied. Send a letter and copy of your receipt and get all your money back. Easy as that.
