Just because you outlaw guns for those in therapy, doesn't meant they can't get them illegally!!! dumbasses, like that will solve the problem. also, where do you draw the line? what if someone just wants to work on some anger management issues, or marriage counseling? Slippery slope.

Spoken like a bunch of asshole morons who never went there! wow, such bullshit. OP - please don't listen to these idiots! Yes PVI will accept some kids, a SMALL percentage, who have been asked to leave public schools. But it's mainly for upper class/upper middle class kids whose parents don't mind shelling out big bucks for their kids to go to an excellent school within a christian environmen

I think what they need more than seminars is an actual job fair. Bring the companies hiring and maybe it'll be of use.

Definitely take your kids, the place is great! Just make sure you leave early b/c it's a hike. I don't agree with facepalm above, or at least, my experience was much different. We just wandered around without a guide, taking our time, taking pictures. The kids will always remember it, just like I do from when my parents took me. Bring a cooler and have a picnic afterwards. They sell ice cre

If a dog is loose or stray, it's always okay to contact animal control, especially if it's aggressive towards other dogs or people. I find it hard to believe you called them and they refused to come help you after you told them your dog was attacked by an unleashed dog??? A similar incident happened in my neighborhood recently and they came right away.

Was so happy when they shut that nightmare down! Glad to see an end to VA allowing DC's criminals to be housed in our state. Made no sense in the first place. 100% black by the way. I went there on a field trip back in high school and we walked around. That place was a hell.

Seeing all these pictures about the terrible school lunches from schools embracing michelle obama's lunch plan. I couldn't find out from fcps.edu whether or not they follow that program or do their own thing. I've seen the lunches at my kid's school and they are pretty good, so i'm guessing Fairfax co. does not partake. Anyone know for sure?

Did it happen in your yard?? Or, were you on common grounds and your dog was off the leash where he shouldn't have been? If it happened on your property, then tough shit for the cat, not your fault at all. Don't beat yourself up about it.
