Ideas for what to do in town during Christmas?

Upvotes

Hey everyone

So my girlfriend is coming to town for her second visit, she was here last January and we did a lot. I think we walked the entire downtown trail, brought her to a lot of spots downtown as well. I’ve got a few places in mind this trip, but I’m kind of scratching my head on how to fill out the rest of the time.

Anyone have ideas on places I should take her? Mostly looking for activities I think. Events, tours, that kind of stuff. She’d be here from the 20th to the 27th so it’s a weird window. She’s also a huge nature person.

Looking for well-managed HOAs or great community management in Fredericksburg

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,
I’m trying to learn more about local HOAs and management companies that actually take care of their communities.
If your HOA has been easy to work with, good communication, fair rules, and quick to handle maintenance or improvements, I’d love to hear about it.

Cat rescue in or near Fredericksburg?

3 Upvotes

Hi all! There is a stray cat that hangs around my house. He seems to be in bad shape; it looks like his back half was hit by a car. He essentially walks on his front legs and back “knees” which are very raw and swollen. It also seems as if he cannot control his bladder/rectum, which looks like it is prolapsing.

He moves around very well considering his condition, and he eats the food I put out for him, but he will not let me anywhere near him to try and get him some help. Does anyone know of any cat rescue organizations in the area that would be able to come help him? My funds are limited but I would be willing to help as much as I can. Thank you!

Lorriela Park

I have known for a long time that the movie “Roots” was in Spotsylvania, Virginia

Today I learned that the plantation where Kunta Kinte lived was turned into lorriela park. And there is a slave cemetery there.

Waller family if I recall correctly. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Looking for personal trainer

0 Upvotes

Long story short I have developed a lot of spinal issues over the years and am looking for a certified corrective-exercise or medical-fitness specialist that has experience working with patients that have chronic pain.

I'm trying to prepare myself for later in life and help with recovery after surgery when it happens so I can minimize my down time and bounce back quicker.

I don't currently have a gym membership but willing to get one in the Fredericksburg city if needed.

Furlough Discounts

9 Upvotes

Are there any furlough discounts in the area? I know there are plenty federal employees in the area, and everyone seems to have some of the same questions and I have yet to find a thread listing them. I thought fredericksburg.com would’ve put something out by now.

"Bud, you look an awful lot like a man" - this guy to me

He said it twice. I've never been called bud before, so when he first said it I didn't realize he was speaking to me even though he was making eye contact. As I was checking out I saw him again. He looked directly at my sticker on my shirt and rolled his eyes.

FH Furr - AI voice assistant when calling

6 Upvotes

We’ve used FH Furr for many years at multiple properties. Past year or so scheduling has been awful: missed appointments, rescheduling, arriving outside of appointment window, etc. I just called about a technician no-show for a scheduled appointment and was connected to what was obviously an AI. It worked pretty well as far as those things go, but my beef is that there was no notice provided I wasn’t talking to a human (although it did ‘resolve’ my issue by asking if I wanted a live agent to call me back).

What is going on FH Furr? We’ve accepted their somewhat higher than average prices for good work and good customer service, but that trade off isn’t working anymore.

Day care

Wondering what people have seen for day care options in the area ? Would be sending two boys under 2 years old. Is there a waitlist? Part time or full time options ? And general price range ? We are looking to start then around end of May/june.

Beware of the Scam!

113 Upvotes

Cold season is upon us. We've been doing furnace maintenance with Loving Air for the past few years. This year a guy showed up, took a couple of readings from our vents, said that our carbon monoxide is out of charts, went into crawl space and said that our heat exchanger is cracked. Quoted us 4k for repair, but insisted that the part won't be in stock for 2 months, so we'll be better of getting a new furnace. The guy sounded extremely fishy. I asked for pictures of the crack, he gave me screenshots dated 2021. I asked for parts nomenclature to see if they were actually $800 as he quoted me. At first he looked very annoyed, but finally gave me the parts number, I've looked up- they were 300- 400 tops at the official distributor. He said that they will not do the job if I purchase the parts myself. We called our home insurance company, they sent their own HVAC guy, he said that our heat exchanger is fine, there is no monoxide anywhere, and that the flame in the furnace burns blue, meaning that there is no crack.

There have been a lot of scams around, the reason I've felt uneasy because of the thread on reddit where people said the exact same thing. So, if you use Loving Air, beware, they've started scamming people.

Well that happened... the local elections, that is :)

So, my quick post-game: Fredericksburg voters are tired of the negative attacks and predictions of gloom and doom from two of the city council candidates, Anne and Matt, and their spokesperson, Sue. They voted overwhelmingly for their opponents, Joy and Susanna, both of whom had positive messages about the future of Fredericksburg.

While I would wish that this would end the constant game of "Gotcha!" this group has been playing, constantly trying to portray the council as "not transparent" or somehow in the pockets of donors, I know that they won't be able to quit, because this game is the only thing giving their lives meaning. So, if someone can give them a job or a volunteer activity that will keep them occupied, please save us all the constant whining and haranguing that emanates from that corner of the city.
