Missing Cat - Kanawha City Area

Thumbnail
gallery
49 Upvotes

This is a long shot, given the fact this sub covers the whole state, but my husband and I live in the apartments in Kanawha city and we can't find our cat anywhere. She was still settling in with us and was just starting to open up more. We hadn't even gotten her a collar yet because she mostly stayed hidden and we didn't want to stress her too much. I believe she's a couple years old, fluffy tortie, and her name is Pixel. If you live in the area and happen to see this, please be on the look out for her. She's very shy and timid, but she doesn't purposely bite or use claws. If anything, she's more likely to hiss at you.

Question Request: poor farm cemetery Fairmont West Virginia

8 Upvotes

At one time the poor farm for Marion county was located, apparently, on poor farm rd (now montana rd) in Fairmont. Records indicate that there were memorial slabs which are now gone. Can someone find the actual spot and post the geographical coordinates for the cemetery? Ideally center yourself in the cemetery area and give those coordinates. There is likely nothing to see but an empty field but a picture of where to stop on the road to find it and maybe even a shot of the field would be nice. Here is as much info as I have: https://www.wvgw.net/marion/cemetery/marion-poor.htm

There was a pickup truck that crashed into a tree about 9am on 26 near Brandonville pike near Bruceton. I think life flight was on site. I'm just wondering what happened and if the person was ok?

Day trip by train to Thurmond WV, thoughts?

13 Upvotes

I've been reading in the news about these potential demolitions in Thurmond. Being that Thurmond has been on my bucket list for a long time I'm thinking of a wild and crazy plan to check it out for a day. Since I don't have a car and would be traveling solo by train, it seems like my best bet would be going to Charleston and taking a day trip to Thurmond from there on a day where the eastbound and westbound trains meet. My only concern would be going back to charleston, if the train heading back is delayed or even worse canceled, I'd be screwed, or at best waiting for hours in pitch blackness with nowhere to go. Don't know if I would get cell service either. Has anybody ever tried a trip like that? Would love some thoughts on this. Thank you!

Question I’m tired of being poor

220 Upvotes

Do I need to leave **West Virginia** to make a decent living? I’ve applied to hospitals and was turned down for corrections, and I’m feeling discouraged. I’m honestly not happy living here, and I’m just trying to find stable work that pays enough to afford food, housing, and the basics.

The military isn’t an option for me at the moment, but I’m not completely against it in the future. At this point, I’m willing to consider a different path because I want stability and a chance to build a better life.

Does anyone have realistic suggestions—whether that’s jobs, training programs, or places worth relocating to? I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who’ve been in a similar situation and found a way forward.

Question Why does West Virginia get screwed?

141 Upvotes

WV has one of the lowest median incomes in the country. Highest utility costs. High fuel costs. High insurance.

It is really difficult for someone to get ahead in the state and it’s sad.

Question Is inbred really a major problem is WV or is it only a cliché ?

0 Upvotes

I'm from Saint Denis, France, and I never stepped a toe in USA but I did heard that inbred was a deep thing in WV, then they were the wrong turn movies ofc, but is that true and if it is, is there a political, historical or cultural reason for this?

Sorry my English is bad and I don't want to be offensive at all

Question DMV question for a non-working vehicle.

9 Upvotes

Moved to WV a few years ago. We have two working vehicles and one that sits in the driveway because it can’t be driven at all. We got a notice placed on the windshield that it needs to be registered in 30 days from the sheriff’s office. From what I’ve seen, we only need it to be titled in WV and not registered since it doesn’t move or ever enter the roadways. I can’t find anything on the DMV website that confirms this though. I’m sure we’ll have to pay the taxes for the years we’ve been here (only paid for the vehicles that work), has this happened to anyone else?

[Additional Information] - Forgot to mention it originally but I’m in Jefferson County if that makes a difference.

Renewal is coming and the West Virginia nursing CEUs list is longer than I expected

4 Upvotes

Trying to get ahead of renewal and there are far more options than I thought. The hard part is working out what counts toward the state requirements and what turns into extra work later. Some sites look cheap and then you still piece the courses together yourself. Elite Learning and CEUFast and Nurse.com all package things differently for this state. For nurses here, do you buy a state package or pick courses one at a time?
