Best of VA Missed Connections January 30 – February 5

|

Topics: , , , , ,

Our schizophrenic winter weather is striking once again, folks, but if you need someone to share your blanket, or to invite out to a picnic, the Missed Connections is probably the place for you. Especially if the divorce is final and you’re on Tinder ready to mingle!

Some of you are clearly not above making passes at married people, though, and while you’re unlikely to get much of anywhere with that, you might have more luck flirting with the cashier who sold you your Whopper or Grande Meal at lunch. It’s worth a shot, right?

This week we’ve also got people taking advantage of the chilly winter weather to flirt with moms at Ice Zone, and other people who might have been able to get farther if they could remember the name of the Frank Ocean album. Take heart, nerds — there might just be an ice-bearing Chipotle elf out there for you!

Without further ado, let’s dive in.

Charleston Girl Who couldn’t get out of 3 tickets (Patrick Henry Pub)

You sell dental equipment but would much rather set soundtracks for movies. We guessed every color for Frank Oceans album except its actual title. You have a Perfect smile (all natural). You don’t like thrills but I swear I can get you on a rollercoaster. I’m glad I moved over so I could sit next to you. HMU

Publix I asked you about your tatttoo (Glen allen)

You had blonde curly hair, a spiral taper in one ear, and black hoodie on. I asked you were you got your tattoo, I wish we talked more..

Saw you at Chipotle in Barracks (Chipotle)

You, big beefy man. Me, small tiny little elf. We caught eyes at the soda fountain. You, was getting a Diet Coke. Me, was getting a cup of only ice. I offered you an ice cube. You accepted. Didn’t get your name. If you see this, please email me back. I miss you

VCU Panda Express, Sunday (Richmond)

To the gorgeous girl behind the counter at Panda Express on super bowl Sunday, you seem like you could use a break from all the dumb questions and requests you had to deal with. I was in a hoodie, you noticed me chuckling at how absurd the whole situation was and hopefully it helped you shake off the stress for a minute. It’s a long shot that you’ll see this, but I’m not sure how to say anything without being the creep that asks you out while you’re at work

Auto Detailer Today (chesterfield)

You did a great job on my neighbors cars. Hopefully you can clean my cars and maybe have a drink. Respond with some details so that I know it is you.

burger king (parham and patterson)

morning,

you were the very friendly young cashier on sunday morning. i was the older customer. we both stared at each other. if interested contact me on here..

Thanks!!

Looking for the right pear

You were a personable outgoing female shopping, you were probably early to mid 30’s. Short black hair and shaved on the sides, you were dancing at some point before you confronted me. Most beautiful woman ive have ever seen, and quite likeable. The only bad thing part about this is, you were married. Saw a ring on your finger. You had me thinking about you ever since i laid eyes on you. Hopefully i hear from you

Young black guy I met in the Arboretum (Arboretum)

We talked a little bit and you suggested going somewhere else to continue our conversation. I am the older white guy that was wearing the blue button up. I now wish we had went somewhere else. You wanted to show me something and I wanted to see it. What did you want to show me?

Looking for Evan (Hampton Roads)

This is a long shot, but…I saw you on Tinder earlier tonight. We actually met a couple of years ago, at a local restaurant. Got together a few times, then our personal situations/jobs became problematic. You have a very interesting career, and I work in the medical field. My divorce has been final over a year now.

I’d love to talk to you again, if you’re interested.

My Hopewell friend Brandy (Hopewell)

Hey brandy, I see you every month. I’ve wanted to give you my number the last 2 times but literally didn’t have the chance. If you see this msg me with my name in the subject. Let’s chill.

Spotted at Ice Zone Midlo (Johnston Willis)

Have seen you several times at Midlo Ice Zone. You’re the cute redhead with the alluring eyes and cute smile. Me SWM/dad. Looks like your daughter takes lessons or is coached? Buy you a drink?

Short white girl working counter at taco bell near Ft Lee (Prince George)

You we working the counter at taco bell last night. Friday night around 8 PM. You were short and had your hair pulled back in a pony tail. I was in drive through so didn’t have a chance to say anything to you. But you are so cute. We should go out for some coffee and get to know each other.

Racism Doesn’t Stop at the Boards: Lessons from EVMS’ Yearbook

|

Topics: , , , , ,

The yearbook image of two young men, one dressed in blackface and the other in KKK robes, is searing and ugly, reminding us of our relatively-recent and openly-racist past. That one of the young men is — or even just could be — Virginia’s Governor Ralph Northam makes that ugliness feel particularly low, taste particularly galling, and disqualifies him from leading our Commonwealth away from the more subtly-racist environment that can still be found all over Virginia since the photo was taken in 1984.

Nonetheless, the photo depicts multiple realities, and one that is perhaps deeper than a young man acting a racist fool, is that this picture was actually published in the yearbook of Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS). And from that yearbook, it screams loudly about medical education at EVMS, what is expected of students there, and how blackness is both perceived and treated in places that promise to do no harm. Administrators at EVMS have apologized for the picture, and claim that there is no explanation for how it was published in 1984.

The explanation is rather simple: when EVMS graduated its first MDs in 1976, there was only one black member of the class. Though it’s difficult to confirm, there were likely no black faculty members. Diversity at EVMS and in American medical education has hardly improved; statistics about black male enrollment as first-years in medical schools across the U.S. between 1978 and 2016 are stark: there has only been a 39 student increase in over 38 years. In 2017-18, an astoundingly low 6% of currently enrolled male and female medical students across the country identified as black.

At EVMS, enrollment of black students is less than the national average at only 5%. In 2015, about 11.6% of the science and clinical faculty at EVMS were reported as underrepresented minorities. For EVMS and other medical and health professions, underrepresented minorities could include several groups as well as African-American — and considering the distribution of race and ethnicity in Hampton Roads, the EVMS students and faculty don’t even remotely mirror the people they serve.

So did students and faculty at EVMS in 1984 feel particularly invested in black members of their community? Not likely.

And yet whiteness and medicine isn’t a story unique to EVMS, Virginia, or our Governor. Not including historically-black universities like Howard and Morehouse, medical schools with the highest enrollment of black students in the U.S. top out at just over 8%. In 2018 in the U.S., only 7.6% of employed physicians and surgeons were black or African-American. And it is in systems like U.S. medical education — where there are few black professionals, few black faculty, and few black students — that systemic racism can live and breathe.

Unfortunately, racism isn’t something that is tested for by medical board exams. Medical students who have no black classmates, faculty members, or mentors grow up to be doctors who perpetuate racist stereotypes that kill people: black children are underprescribed antibiotics, and black adults are half as likely to be prescribed pain medication as white patients. Black women die of pregnancy-related causes at a rate up to 4 times that of white women, and women of color, even celebrities like Serena Williams, tell story after story of their pain being ignored by doctors. It was during a UVA study conducted in 2016 that these differences in prescription rates of pain medication were first described as just-plain-racist:

“Researchers find that a substantial number of white medical students and residents hold false beliefs about biological differences between black and white people (e.g., black people’s skin is thicker; black people’s blood coagulates more quickly) that could affect how they assess and treat the pain experienced by black patients.”

The University of Virginia Medical School is ranked number 26 in the nation in 2019. How are white students enrolled in one of the best medical schools in the country and still believe that there are real biological differences between black and white bodies like skin thickness or pain reception? In 2017, an image (below) from a nursing textbook describing “Cultural Differences in Response to Pain” made the rounds of the internet, eventually resulting in that text being pulled by the publisher. Though this book likely wasn’t used at UVA, it’s a clear illustration that stereotyped tropes about the biological differences between races are still actively taught in at least some medical curricula, and influence how doctors treat and prescribe their patients of color.

PHOTO: Mic.com

While Northam claims that the racist pictures aren’t him, on some levels that doesn’t matter. They still illustrate what life was like for white medical students in Virginia in 1984, and they give us clear insight into systemic racism that influences medical studies and practices in the U.S. today. How are Americans of color supposed to trust this system that so consistently fails them?

Perhaps one way forward is to consider how doctors are trained in even understanding the humanity of their patients. Many of my colleagues who are biological anthropologists are employed in medical schools across the country, teaching human gross anatomy to medical and nursing students. Anatomy, and medical education, with an anthropological lens is groundbreaking and lifesaving — it trains medical professionals to see patients as humans with diverse identities, needs, and lived experiences. But whatever the answer is, change in medical education and practice can’t happen too soon: lives, our community, and our Commonwealth depend on it. N

Are food and infatuation intrinsically connected? If you read the Missed Connections week after week, it sure starts to seem that way. So it’s no surprise that this week brings us a very cuisine-oriented edition of our weekly trawl through Craigslist.

There are certainly more reliable ways of meeting men than dropping cucumbers in the grocery store, but it’s certainly worth a shot. And attempting to find love at a sci-fi convention’s after party never seems like a bad idea… but if you don’t get those digits, you’re just going to end up back here, providing entertainment for us all. One thing we can tell you for sure is that dyed hair is in, but if you’re worried that it’ll make you seem like a social justice warrior, you just might be overthinking it.

So relax, Richmond, and let’s all dive into this week’s best lovelorn love notes for baristas and construction workers.

Cute guy at Aldi! (West broad)

I have never done this before. You were mid-late twenties something guy. I’m completely unobservant but I think you had dark brown hair. My son dropped a cucumber and you picked it up for me and asked if I wanted you to grab another cucumber for me. That was kind! Anyway, if you read this… email me ? This is so weird.

big egg filled with hay

more like big egg filled with heyyy if you know what im sayin

do you?

do you though?

Ladies of Hampton (Mercury)

Ladies of Hampton. Make a construction workers day. Ride by the job and give us a honk. Mercury across from the 7-11. Thanks. Have a nice day.

Pink hair in pizza joint (Norfolk)

I had lunch today at a quaint little pizza joint, you were working- love the pink hair and that smile melted me…… wish I would have caught your name.

Bandit at WAWA (Hopewell)

You 60+ white hair at WaWa in Hopewell. They call you Mr. David. Me, 60+ female who likes your style. I am too shy to approach but interested.

North side library Rio Road (Charlottesville)

You were sitting in the library with your young son. You looked like you could really use a friend. I am assuming you and your boy are staying at the domestic violence shelter.

If you want to talk I am interested. I could use a friend

Sandra (Maryland) at Starb**ks in Short Pump (Short Pump)

Sandra, I struck up a conversation with you this morning at the Starbuc** at Lauderdale and West Broad in Short Pump about 9am Tuesday the 22nd… You said you were from near Annapolis, but came to Richmond and you work for Progress*** Insurance… Wish I would have asked you out right then!!! Coffee at 8am at the same Starbu***??? on Weds morning??? Or maybe next time you’re in town?!?!? Message me with me name , if you remember!

Atlas coffee Saturday morning (Ummm… atlas coffee?)

I came in to get coffee and baked donuts. You were wearing blue pants and a dark jacket. I think you either work there or are the owner? We didn’t converse someone else was helping me. You are very sexy! Yum

Bay Beach Vet cutie m4w (Bay Beach Vet Hosipital Va Beach)

We chatted briefly after your sweet pup broke the ice, Sunday January 27 2019. You were very cute. I mean, very cute. I’m not sure what your situation is, but thanks for the chat. Engaging with you and your dog were the best part of that miserable waiting room experience. If you’re interested in reconnecting, reply with your dog’s name and what pet I had brought in.

Luck Stat: 0 (Marscon) (Newport News)

We met at Jack’s party during Marscon. It was really late and we were pretty drunk. We had more in common than being drunk and nerdy, though:

We’re both ranty drunks.

We both live in Newport News. You said you live off Bland.

We both are super unlucky. Zero in luck stat unlucky. Laughably unlucky.

I was wearing a silver and blue vest, short hair, glasses. I temp-dyed my hair to match the vest. I’m not actually part of the blue hair tumblr brigade; I just was trying to look snazzy. I had my massive steel drinking cup. You were wearing a red shirt… work shirt, maybe? I don’t remember the little logo in the breast area.

Being drunk and unlucky is a bad combo: I forgot to get any contact information at all! I don’t even remember your name. Did we even swap names? My name is Ash, by the way.

Anyway, I had fun ranting with you. I’m off Campbell so I know we could easily hang out some time. Maybe play some board games or old school D&D? At least the competition would be fair with us both being so unlucky.

Flipping a coin here… maybe, just once, it’ll turn up heads…

If not, I hope to see you next year.

— Ash

Waffle House M4M (Fredericksburg)

WED morning, you were an attractive Asian man sitting at the counter sipping a coffee … and I was with my friend having a late breakfast by the window. I glanced over a few times to make eye contact with you but, there were so many people and I’m not really sure there was a connection.

Anyway, if you’d like to grab a coffee, please reply with what you were wearing, and what part of the counter you were sitting at (or any other pertinent information).

It was nice meeting you yesterday (richmond va)

We have been smiling and saying “hi” for months, and yesterday you introduced yourself. 🙂 I still remember your name, do you remember mine? I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hit me up with some details if you think this is you.

Little Caesars (Hopewell)

Does anyone the girl that works at little Caesars, she is short, brown hair, and was working at the register last Friday night. It was extremely busy in there. It was around 6pm.

Broadberry Entertainment Group Presents

THAT 1 GUY

With an extensive and amazing track record of unique and imaginative performances featuringhis curious instrument and copious amounts of originality, Mike Silverman aka That1Guy has set himself apart as a true one-of-a-kind talent that rivals any other artist currently in the entertainment industry.

January 2015. Along with his pioneering main instrument, The Magic Pipe, a monstrosity of metal, strings, and electronics, facilitates the dynamic live creation of music and magic in ways only That1Guy can conjure, expect to see magic as well now integrated into the already clever performance. With this addition of incorporating magic seamlessly into his live shows, he has legitimately achieved an all inclusive audio/visual performance unlike anything experienced before. “So much of my music has miraculous qualities to it because itʼs hard to tell whatʼs going on. There are lots of slights of hand and sonic misdirection. It feels like I was meant to do magic”

If you need meat, you go to the market (shout out to Ray Manzarek). And maybe you go to the Missed Connections, to catch the attention of that cutie you ran into by the steaks. But if meat isn’t what you’re shopping for, that’s OK — we’ve got interactions of all types in the MC’s this week.

If you love cars, you’re in luck this week — whether you drive a Mustang or a Mazda, someone might just be looking for you. And no matter what side you take in the Sheetz vs. Wawa wars, you’ll probably encounter a cutie at the convenience store/sub shop of your choice.

But listen, if you’re shopping for underwear, or looking for the kind of accidents that don’t necessarily happen in cars, you might want to be a little discreet. Trust us, the whole state’s reading these.

Stopped at Kroger coming from Winchester (Jeff Davis Kroger)

Talked to you in the meat department at Kroger. You were on your way home from Winchester and you didn’t want to drop your dog off before coming to the grocery store. I wish I had said more…maybe you’ll see this.

Mustang girl at wawa (Hampton park magnolia grn)

You were diagonal at the pumps from my truck. Black mustang in amazingly fitting jeans. Had a friend with you. Happened to leave the same way. Thought u may have been checking me out too. Got distracted trying to find my phone cus it was ringing and then my light changed. You were phenomenal. I’m sure your not single but I’m not sure if I care hahaha

Morning coffee fantasy (Norfolk)

You…are all the angles I never knew fascinated me. You breathe, your chest rises and falls. I can see your shirt strain and I lose my breath.
You don’t see me. I’m background art in the scenery of your life. Or you’re scenery in mine, only a spotlights lit you and -you- are magnificent, casting shadows on everything else… you’re all I see. I close my eyes and there you are burned into my retinas. I don’t know you. I don’t want to. You’re beautiful and if you do see me, if you speak you’ll just ruin the dream. But while I’m here sitting at this table that might as well be a mailbox, a trash can, a tree, (that’s how much I stand out in your eyes) -you are mine.
You sip your coffee. Oblivious. Your fingers are thick. They’re masculine, sexy. Even sexier is how you’re still managing to be gentle with that beat up china handle. You could snap it if you tried. Like a twig. You’re strong. My fingers are slender and would fit perfectly between yours. My grip tightens around my cup thinking about that. Cold china squeaks conspicuously waking me up.
I’m empty and need a refill.
I can see the steam rising from your cup. I need ice cubes, and you drink it so hot. Im hiding my smile. You’re so hot, drinking fire…you must be a dragon…god I love you.

Blah (Charlottesville)

What more can I say here. Just feeling blah these days. Anyone else at this point too? I hardly sleep anymore no matter how tired I am. I don’t eat much anymore no matter how hungry I am. Lost in a world of sadness and misery. Change your circumstances everyone says but no one realized how difficult all that is. Anyone out there feeling me?

Your comments (Louisa)

You saw me at Sheets in Louisa last night and couldn’t keep your eyes off of me and finally you made a comment as how I was dressed.

If you are the one and want to see me then reply back and what your comment was so I know it’s you

Enterprise girl driver took us to Charles Barker about 5 days ago (Virginia Beach)

I was in the back and you talked about how you have lots of accidents and they just sneak up on you. I caught what you were saying. I’d love to see you have an accident ;). There’s nothing more of a turn on. If you see this then message me. Definitely interested in making you have one. This was probably about 5 days ago. I was riding along to help out my old man

Map isn’t accurate so don’t worry about looking at that. We talked while I transfered things about what I did for work

HALLS GROCERY – COLONIAL BEACH (HALLS GROCERY – COLONIAL BEACH)

been a while, but here goes.
I recognized you from long ago (early 1970s) but didnt know you then. You are from CB, I used to spend summers there.
A year or so ago, in Halls, You were with your dad. Maybe he had dimensia? You were wearing a denim skirt maybe?
I was looking at you, thinking she’s cute. We made eye contact and you smiled. Thats when i recognized you and have been thinking about you ever since, hoping I’d run into you again around town. Did you work at Mr. Jones’s game room?
signed: not a Lifetime stalker.

Mazdas

We took a ride and chatted about our Mazdas. Wanted to see if you had time to hang out this weekend.

rt 17 wawa

I always see you and never say anything. I’m hoping you see this and send me a message. You’re always smiling and so friendly to everyone. You’re a beautiful woman. You were wearing cowboy boots this morning with jeans, and a black jacket. I was standing by my truck in the parking lot when you got in yours. Let me know if you would be interested in getting dinner sometime.

girl in chspk

Missed a connection with a girl in chspk who sold me her underwear hmu lets do it again

Pat misses Tiffany (VB)

2 like souls whose paths were destined to cross..
It started off as a professional relationship. It remained that way for over a year. As it went on, we both felt that there was something more. We both had much to risk.
I remember asking you if I could read your palm. I just wanted to touch your hand… I know nothing of chirology, it was a chance to be close to you and feel for a spark. I hoped for a spark but, what I got was more than a stick of dynamite.
I remember asking if I could kiss you. Oh…. the taste of that first kiss…..
Your perfume was on my soul from that point on… all afternoon I could smell the sweet aroma of T.

The end of P and T was painful. We both suffered..
I still suffer.. I miss the LEGO boys too.
I hope you have found some happiness.

As I write this…. I feel as if our story may still have more to say.. time will tell.
I forgive you. You are released from any guilt for any actions taken. We both deserve to be let off the hook for the past. If there is more, the universe will pass our croths again… I hope so.
I dream that in another universe P and T like in a treehouse ❤️
PS

We used to Skype

Looking for Jim. A guy I used to Skype with. We’d talk about our wives While we Skyped.

Make a lesbian want to change

You were at the Home Depot on broad. I have only ever been with women. You helped me load my car and I wanted you right there. If this is you…message me

Fighting Creek Park (Powhatan)

Mid Day, Much Older lady. I’d say 50s? We passed each other. Made eye contact, Smiled. Long short for sure. I’m a younger guy but was really attracted to you. Idk if you’re married. Let’s get together? Hell if any other matured finds this intriguing hmu. Thanks.

Trading spouses isn’t just for mediocre reality TV anymore! Now it’s found a new home — in this week’s Missed Connections.

But you don’t have to be already-married to find romance here, though it will help if you like to wear open-toed high heels in the winter (which sounds crazy, but hey, whatever floats your boat). You might also find love this week if you’re a fan of hitting the gym when it’s quiet around the holidays, or if you’re making some extra cash driving for Uber Eats. So before you open that app for another day on the slushy streets of Richmond, take a dip into the Missed Connections.

Lowe’s near costco. (Lowe’s on broad)

On Saturday I was in Lowe’s and your husband offered to trade you to me as a joke. It was funny but you even said I’m sure his wife wouldn’t approve of that. Well typically you might be right but I do have an open relationship as we are swingers so perhaps this could work.

I found you very attractive and I feel you thought the same based on some of the smiles we exchanged.

I realize you likely won’t see this but I am definitely interested. Let me know what your husband wanted to trade for you so I know it’s you.

Dillards (Short Pump)

Lady’s in heels are my weakness, and every time I have seen you, you have on open toe heels and look great. You are an associate, not gonna say which dept. I think you have noticed me, maybe even caught me steeling glances as I walk pass with my coffee in my hand. I really like a woman that wears open heels this time of year, tells me she likes to get attention to her feet. Hope by some chance you find this, I will be in again, part of my walking schedule. I can tell you the color of your toes.

Love’s Truck Stop Exit 15 Thurs Gray Beard Trucker (South Hill)

I paid for my food and looked over my shoulder to see where you went and you were staring right at me, it caught me off guard so I looked away, I seen you leaving the fuel desk so assume you’re a truck driver and hopefully a local?

You had a full gray beard, Wranglers, gray sweat shirt, no coat, ball cap and were about 6’2″ 285 lbs? Thurs night a little after 11pm. You made my day and hope to run into you again.

If you reply tell me what I was wearing and where you seen me in the truck stop so I know its really you.

purple hair at kroger (Chesterfield, near Chippenham)

Bumped into you in the coffee aisle. We had a simple chat while I admired you. Would like to talk again. Describe what we bought.

Uber eats driver (Fredericksburg)

You delivered ihop to me. You were with your son in matching sweaters. You were so fucking adorable. Most guys would have stared at my tits the entire time, but you bashfully looked away. I hope you see this as I would love to show them to you.

THE DOLLER STORE ON LITTJE GREEK (NORFOLK)

TO DAY I CAN DO I CAN MEET THE YOUNG PIPE CLEANER AT THE DOLLER STOREPARKING LOT IF YOU WANT

Fern – pho (Pho-79)

Enjoyed talking to you over your messy noodle eating.

Might seem an unlikely friendship, but I’d enjoy maybe sitting down and eating some “Fa” again.

Have a great trip, hope to hear from you.

Anytime fitness (Fredericksburg)

We’ve seen each other in passing and one day we talked briefly as I was leaving and you were getting ready to start your workout. We talked about how it sucks when the gym is crowded and we both like it when it’s empty, it was right before xmas and laughed about our excitement of the gym being empty during holiday time and how we’d take advantage… You’ve been on my mind ever since, I’d like to get to know you, maybe go out sometime? Msg with who normally joins you at the gym so I know it’s you if you’re interested.

I still love you (Town center)

Young military guy here. We met over a year ago and I’ve never gotten you out of my my mind or heart. You were older but very attractive. You were working at the Hilton at the oceanfront last time we talked. We can make it work now if you’re interested.

Strawbridge breakfast drivethru

Blonde woman in front of me. You paid for my breakfast this morning. That was very nice. I thought you were attractive and would like to reciprocate. I remember what you were driving.

Tailgate (Va beach)

We met on the tailgate of my truck. We had a common bond that brought us together. We had visions of being together forever but we drifted apart. We came from different worlds , but we were so much alike. I’ve often wondered what could have been and I’ve thought about where it went wrong. I’m a male in search of a certain lady.

Long Johns laburnam (Henrico)

I was in last Friday evening. I saw you waking aroundbehind the counter and something caught my attention. I think you saw me looking and got shy. You are hot. If you know who I am reply to this please. Id like to meet you.

My Desi Friend.. (Ruckersville)

To the really nice, sweet, cute mature Desi woman who shows me sooo much attention I’m wondering if you’re actually interested?

I come into your store everyday and we hold a conversation about life we agree on alot you give me butterflies when I see you..

Looking For An Old Friend (Ocean View (Norfolk))

HI,

Looking for an old friend named Paulette in Ocean View (Norfolk). She had a son named Scotty that attended Grandby High with my daughters. I used to work in Beach Bay Grocery on First View and met her there. I moved away to NY and we lost touch. I am back in Va now and would like to see her again. If anyone knows her or knows her last name (I forgot it) please let her know I am looking for her or let me know how I can find her. My name is Karen.

Thanks!

We met briefly in April (Colonial Heights)

long shot here..

You were a dispatcher. We met at walmart in Colonial Heights while you were working on a project. This was back in April, I left the area shortly after rather abruptly. I’m back now and have lost all your contact info. We got along great and I’d like to connect again.

Hopefully you see this and message me.

Tell me your name and what other store we went to!

Beautiful Blonde in Food Lion / Hampton (Bethel and Hampton Roads Parkway)

You are beautiful with your long blonde hair curling at the ends. We were in the cold foods area when I spoke to you. I looked for you but could not find you, then when I was pulling out we made eye contact. I must see you again! I want to know everything about you. I know that we could make some magic in each other’s lives. Save my life, restore my faith, complete me!

Looking for a submariner Michael (Norfolk)

I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for someone I knew back in 2010 in the Ocean View area. He was a young submariner named Michael. I can’t for the life of me remember his last name. He would now be in his late 20s to mid 30s with brunette hair. Slim stature. He had an older red Chevy Blazer and a maroon Hyundai Elantra at that time. Any help would be great! My name is Tara.
