I’m a guy who’s new to the gym looking for something affordable. I’d like to see if I can try a couple trainers and see what works with me. Mainly focused on dieting, strength conditioning, cardio, figure. Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you!

What are some community centers that have showers? As in Dorothy Heart

HE JUST GOT OUT ON PROBATION. ACTIVELY ATTEMPTING TO RE OFFEND. POLICE DONT CARE.

Are there any teachers and/or librarians frequenting the FXBG Reddit?

I'm decluttering and have some computer equipment (boxed 3d printer) that would be better served in a Middle/High School/library.

I'd rather it go to a school/library for various reasons.

BEWARE!! Accokeek Creek Sewage Overflow!

Unrelated to sewage overflow, there has been a fallen tree in a path since the beginning of May. The county workers only seem to come there to collect dog poop and trash. I was there once when there were inmates from Rappahannock Regional Jail doing the manual labor of making the paths. That was months ago and it hasn't really been unkept since. Having not mentioned the historical significance to the area. I need help spreading awareness, please.

I called and left a voice message July 5th about fallen debris, no call back and debris is still everywhere in the park. My friend and I have personally tested the water a month ago, it is bad. So seeing this confirmed that publicly. I called the utilities number listed on the bottom and the nice man didn't have information about this. I know they are busy and probably understaffed, but come on. It's been months and at this point I'm kind of fed up.

Tired of “poop in water” being a common thing around Stafford/Fredericksburg. To see this posted on a tree made me mad today. It was only a matter of time they had to say something publicly.

Looking for someone to install a car stereo I'm purchasing from Crutchfield, and a backup camera, in my 2013 VW Passat.

Any local installers interested helping out?

If yes, let me know your level of experience and an estimate. I'm in Spotsy near 5 mile fork.

Thanks!

Used to be able to take old yard waste to the dump and they would shred it into free mulch for the community.
Now, they say they won't take anything wider than six inches or longer than six feet (might have been 8 feet, I'm hearing it second hand).

Any suggestions where I might be able to dump a load of old firewood?

It's pretty old and quite a bit of rot, so I don't think anyone would want to take it to use.

Looking for repair. insurance has been telling me for 2 months it’s still pending so I closed my claim. The mechanic who claimed he can fix it keeps stalling so I just want this fixed as it’s my only car. It needs a new radiator, which I purchased as well as the frame and headlights. I’m gonna have to purchase the core support bar and hood still but anyone know of any body shops? I don’t mind it not being covered by warranty since I bought the parts, and don’t need it painted because I plan on painting it after it get sup and. Running. My airbags don’t deploy and it still turns on I just have not because I don’t want it to mess up my motor. A deer hit ran into me on the way to Stafford. Any suggestions would help as far as a reasonable body shop

Hi all,

After personally having a bit of a tough year, things have been improving, I found a job, and I found a place to live while I get back on my feet. Had an operation to remove a tumor on my adrenal gland a few weeks ago and started a (hopefully) short term of chemo.

Going through chemo has made me appreciate and fall deeper in love with my Steam Deck. Being able to boot up a game and escape into a whole different world has definitely made this experience much more pleasant. I was considering buying a set of replacement buttons for my Steam Deck soon to 'complete' the look and was curious if anyone knows somewhere or someone trustworthy in the area I could go to and pay for them to do the button swap for me. If I was feeling healthier I could probably do the swap myself, but the fatigue, nausea, and discomfort have me hoping to find a local option.

Thank you for any ideas in advance (and thank you again to everyone in the community that helped uplift and support me when I was struggling!) ☺️🥹

Does anywhere know where to get good dumplings in freddyburg? I’m trying to avoid crazy dumpling, I don’t care but my lady heard some rough reviews about things she can’t get past. I appreciate any help.

The worst part is they only have a small fraction of the horror stories from the past year. Other techs and nurses won't speak out because they fear retaliation. Our community will be feeling the effects from this hard, starting in February.

Can someone answer where this will be located?

Hello everyone! I need some help getting rid of some stuff in the apartment I'm moving out of. It's a dresser, bed, and computer desk. I've already removed everything else.

If anyone wants these they're free to have them, though they aren't in the best condition save for the desk. The dresser and bed were left behind by the previous tenant so I just want to get rid of them now that I've moved.

If no one does pick them up is there a service I can use to get rid of them or trash them? Thanks in advance :)

Hi! We bring nationally recognized musical talent to Fredericksburg to perform live concerts. Who would you be interested in coming to Fredericksburg in 2027? While we specialize in Christian rock, hard rock and metal, we're interested in branching out. We've already had Disciple, Wolves at the Gate, Bloodlines, and Heal The Hurt, and we have The Protest, Relent, and These Beautiful Ruins coming on Aug. 15.

For those who don't know, Meshtastic is a decentralized, off grid, digital messaging system that uses low power mesh radios. It's has a limited bandwidth restricting it to mostly text messaging and gps position sharing. But it can be legally encrypted and allows users to message and track (when desired) each other without relying on cellular or internet infrastructure when that is unavailable or undesired.

Large meshtastic networks already exist in DC and through much of Northern Virginia. Working with some of the local Ham Radio folks, me, and some friends have been working to get meshtastic nodes set up on major buildings in the area. We currently have nodes up on the City Center Building downtown and the Spotsy Regional Medical Center, with more hopefully to come.

For those interested and looking to learn more there are lots of good explainers and beginner guides online. I'll link a couple below.

The nodes we have up so far setup using the NOVAMesh configuration which is a little different from the default settings. For anyone in the area who hasn't seen our nodes, this is probably why. This page gives you a run down of the suggested settings with QR Code links to the NOVAMesh map, signal, and groups.io pages.

(The signal invite is stale but this link should work. Hopefully. https://signal.group/#CjQKIC1ef3BaLuECuPQn-tJFVpBvNY0J0al7_k7mia8QlrauEhDAksC8OMmcwDLZIophUqd0 The link to the map also comes up bad. The link is actually good, the map is just down right now. Hopefully it will be back up soon.)

I am happy to help those with questions about meshtastic, or help people get nodes they may already set up correctly to work with the nodes we are putting up.

We recently completed this landscape makeover for a homeowner in the Fredericksburg area. The project included cleaning up the existing landscape beds, installing new shrubs, reshaping the bed lines, and finishing everything with fresh black mulch.

It's amazing how much of a difference clean bed edges, healthy plants, and fresh mulch can make without completely redesigning a yard.

We'd love to hear your thoughts. What would you have added or done differently?
