It is likely because that vacancy number only took effect in early January, when new recruits started. For all of last year, the number was much higher.

It’s going to be an adjustment. But, it’ll be fine. Kids adapt. At least mine did.

A turbo prop all the way to Toronto? That must have been a long uncomfortable flight.

There is one on courthouse rd between Midlothian and hull,near powhite, I saw a banner a few days ago saying they accept Medicaid.

How do airports cope with definitions of words?

My kids' school does naps from 12:30-2:30. We started her there just after she turned 1. It really never impacted her nighttime sleep, and she did fine with the transition. By 18 months I think that should be appropriate sleep for your little one. It's hard to see now, but your baby will change a lot between now and then.

Is that a sarcastic reference to "de-fund the police?" I don't recall any calls for legislation to reduce the police force.

One of my loved ones is a 911 dispatcher in Chesterfield, which is also 20% understaffed.

Did you know that emergency communications officers are sometimes classed as "clerical" employees? These folks handle a level of trauma that can lead to anxiety, depression, PTSD, you name it. But because of how the job is classed, they don't have certain benefits or staffing options, and it's harder to hire and retain talent.

The criteria for being hired are significant. Once hired, the attrition rate for training is high. Many classes only place a few in the center because so many drop out.

It's a good job for the right people: those with a service heart who want to help their neighbor, with a good training program, decent starting salary and benefits, and (in Chesterfield at least) a supportive work culture. But the OT is draining, and the schedule is difficult.

There's a bill called 911 SAVES Act at the federal level that would fix some of this. Another Virginia state bill is in review that would address some things.

Ultimately, if you want someone to answer when you're in crisis and call 911, please consider voting and advocating for infrastructure that supports the role.

He wasn’t a great sleeper at that age, but around that time is when it slowly started to improve. He didn’t nap well in the infant room, but once he moved up and started the new schedule we tried to mirror that on weekends and it went better than we expected.

You need more guys to man a fire truck than a police car. You have to have X number of people available at all times to man these vehicles. You have to have X number of vehicles available, manned, every day.

Police don't have to have X number of people available every single day.

I take classes online via Korea Society in NYC and like it a lot. There are a few KSs around the country that offer group classes online. You may get more from a private tutor after you get the basics of pronunciation, sentence structure, and build vocabulary

Been a victim of theft too many times in this city. Prepare to have your shit stolen.

I just took a photo of this same spot too haha. So excited!

I fly Auckland NZ to Houston to Richmond a lot & have never had any drama, Richmond Airport has never let me down! Infact once had my connecting flight out of Richmond canceled & the staff went above & beyond to find me another flight that would get me back to Houston in time to catch my NZ flight.

Mind sharing? Thanks!

you are correct. they are different programs. doing global entry will get you Precheck. but precheck does not get you global entry. Global entry gets you quicker entry into the country. precheck is good for domestic security to get into the terminal.

I understand the inferrence but it is a big leap to think they are going to pay probably 10,000x the price to ship them via boat, or even a hundred times more than regular air freight, just so they will be on one cargo plane that can't even land at some airports.

its not like cigarettes are better fresh? or are they? i have never heard that.

Daily Planet?

Daily planet is sliding scale and Medicaid. Vcu should as well.

Well my friend, I'm delighted to be the first to inform you about Country Style Doughnuts, the coffee is acceptable too.

My partner and I went to the camel last night (before the weird fire marshall thing) and had one cider each and she was so intoxicated we are both seriously wondering if she was slipped something because we have been together for years and I have never seen her like that... Keep an eye out I really don't know what happened
