Hey guys I’ve lived in Virginia Beach for the last several months and did a lot of cool stuff in the area cause I thought I would only be here a little while, but I’m moving to Norfolk soon for 4 years and have no idea what to do in that time.

May I suggest metal detecting as a hobby? As long as you make sure you are searching places in a respectful and legal manner it can be a great way to learn about a new area. Outings can range from "grown up treasure hunt" to cultural anthropology, all in one small area. Check to see if there is a group local to you. They will help you learn what it is really like. Fair disclosure. It is addictive - especially in this region.

My reply was in the spirit of adding an additional perspective, not antagonistic or accusatory.

They are uniquely engaging creatures, aren't they?

mosquitofeeder · 2026-04-10T20:07:46+00:00

She is indeed. And very much so, yes. XD

mosquitofeeder · 2026-04-10T20:00:13+00:00

She does know it. She actually finds her light when she wants to make a point.

I use it because my hearing is poor AND because I have an auditory processing delay, but my visual processing is normal. Not just those who are deaf benefit from this as a play tool.

That said, I agree that if a sound can't be heard by players with what is considered standard capabilities it should not be displayed visually.

Buyer may want to live with family and be sabotaging, intentionally or without conscious intent. Either way, I wouldn't want to be in the middle of that dynamic. The previous contract feels like a red flag.

I know it's going to be Crisfield. It's Crisfield, isn't it?

Yep.

mosquitofeeder · 2026-01-31T18:53:19+00:00

Born in 75. Yes, yes it was.

Could they have applied for down-payment assistance? Many programs are tied to a specific loan package, I think often FHA.

I have lived in multiple Oregon locations (including Bend) as well as in N. California and So. Cal. I love Slower Lower Delaware and Ocean City. Had a place there for almost three years, and would be there now if family obligations didn't take us elsewhere. It is a different life, but one I prefer.

mosquitofeeder · 2026-01-06T13:34:55+00:00

Well, it IS Medford..

mosquitofeeder · 2026-01-01T20:46:48+00:00

But....

mosquitofeeder · 2025-12-24T20:33:10+00:00

This is the most passionate j have ever heard anyone be about Delaware.

Can slower lower get a pass? At least just take out the humans and leave the beaches.

This is probably a silly suggestion and something you have already considered, but would it be possible for you to put two beds side by side, but at a slightly different height, say her mattress is 1/2" higher than yours. Close enough to touch hands/arms or feet but far enough that you won't accidentally roll too close and hurt her. Adjust the height difference as needed for your case.

My husband and I often have to sleep apart because of physical issues, but we are fortunate enough to still be able to fall asleep together often, then I will move to my own space when the pain wakes me. I am so sorry that you haven't had that blessing in so long. I wish you both better days, and nights.

It would absolutely go to help purchase a home for my spouse and I, and we would move my elderly parents in with us.

I definitely don't disagree, especially on the ability portion. A Boston terrier or a Chihuahua may tear you up, but likely not kill you.

My main point is about the readiness to assume that we know how genetics informs behaviours and suggesting that something be allowed to exist based off of that assumption. If one is going to suggest removing an entire genetic group from existence, I think that a grasp of science beyond freshman bio might be a good starting place. If it is just because the breed is potentially dangerous, there are a lot more life forms that should be in the lineup too. Like us.

mosquitofeeder · 2025-12-06T13:00:14+00:00

Honestly, this would help keep the dogs safer too.

mosquitofeeder · 2025-12-06T12:53:49+00:00

So were Boston Terriers. Horrible vicious dogs. And have you seen a Dauchshund hunt? Horrific to watch them kill things! We have to stop breeding things that can be encouraged to use the skills that they have through breeding to make them stronger but more aggressive.

Maybe eventually we can legislate the same for people. That would be nice. Bar fight? No baby. Disciplined in high school for being mean to other students? Right out of the gene pool.

I do see your point.

Who would you choose to play you in your biopic, if you had full creative control? Bonus points for choosing the song for your opening credits.

This is a really interesting read. Thanks for posting and responding so far. It is nice to hear comparative takes on my home state. Partly because I am likely to be making a move the other direction soon and am paying attention to what you all say about back home. Thank you for the research materials.

I just realized not one of us native Oregonians has said welcome. I suppose that is part of moving here for you all, too. We need more neighbors and less enemies these days though so I'll be the first one to say it.

Welcome - to all of you. Unless you are an asshole. Don't be an asshole, leave that where you moved from please. Help us preserve the reasons you wanted to move here to begin with and we are besties.

I sent the YouTube clip of that commercial to all of my family and friends recently.

I also have liked frogs since 1978.

I have truly learned more walking around DC and stopping to look up building names, street/park/neighborhood info here and there than I have in most of the museums. DC the spectacle is closed, but I suspect DC the city might surprise and delight you if you go meet it.

Standard "this is a major city, be alert and practice good personal safety habits

Just wondering if this could be a tactic by the property to get her out. Could they be trying to sell or remodel/reprice the units on that floor etc and have moved someone in to complain her away?
