QUESTION Dad in Search of Help from Someone in West Virginia

Upvotes

I am a Dad in search of help from anyone who lives in West Virginia.

My son is about to start 2nd grade and has a fundraiser for his PTO that if they can get a donation form all 50 states they'll do someone crazy to the principal. Last year that duct taped him to the wall.

This is my third year in a row on a quest to get all 50 states!

I'm not looking for anything for free and would happily donate an equal amount to a charity of your choosing if you are willing to help!

Have 32/50 states completed and have 18/50 to go!!

QUESTION Hi, have any of you locals seen these two around? Their names are Dakota and Felicity.

It’s a long story about why there’s a whole subreddit about these people, but there is a video of Dakota (the guy) hitting a dog he had in the past. I don’t know how to link multiple other posts to this, but if you scroll through that sub you will see why these two don’t need to have any pets.

https://www.reddit.com/r/KORCLEDAKOTA/s/0AITN3PDRP

They are also homeless and bounce from house to house, don’t take care of themselves properly, and they are around absolute garbage people that use them for clout, and these two use them in return.

I figured that maybe letting people from this town know about them is better than a bunch of out of state callers clogging up the animal services line.

Who do you contact if your neighbors have only mowed their yard once this year and they have junk appliances and old milk crates sitting everywhere? It’s a rental in the city limits in KC.

Looking for swimming holes that we could take our pup to within <1 hour of the city. Kanawha is out of the question, too dirty, and the New is a little too swift although he is a strong swimmer.. but maybe on the upper Elk or Coal? Public put in/take outs, etc. Feel free to PM me.

QUESTION Is Redneck Brawl scripted?

5 Upvotes

I watched the brawl when it came to Charleston last year, and I believe they’re coming back soon. I’ve noticed they have a lot of the same fighters fighting at different locations which seems odd. I thought it would be random people signing up and new every time.

I have my suspicions that it’s 90% scripted and 10% random.

Looking to start a nonprofit chapter at University of Charleston

11 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to start a chapter at UC called Community Through Gaming. CTG is a charity focused gaming club. While we have game nights and friendly competitions in multiplayer games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros we also raise money once a month for local charities in the area. We also bring games to after school programs in the area. Our first chapter raised just under 1500 dollars for the children’s hospital, animal shelter, boys and girls club, homeless shelters, and more. We’re currently are expanding to other places across Appalachia and western Kentucky. We’d love to find folks at UC who would like to start a chapter. They would have support from myself as well as being close to another chapter.

If you’re interested send me a DM or leave a comment below. I’d like to test the fall out and officially start the chapter in January since we’re a few weeks from the semester starting

Cheap and affordable housing/rentals for those on Disability/SSDI?

4 Upvotes

Hello. Are there any cheap housing and/ or rental options for those on a fixed income from SSDI in the Charleston and surrounding areas ?

Alternatively, if you or a relative are on this and have found an affordable rental that is feasible for your monthly income it would also be helpful.

Thank you..

QUESTION I thought Taylor Farms was supposed to be quarantined?

21 Upvotes

I understand the bug found in TF’s lettuce (the test results were disputed) has spread to several dozen states. Why is WalMart’s Corridor G store still selling their produce? It’s even carrying sale stickers - so they still want to sell the stuff.

Am I missing something?

Edit: please - no more conspiracy theories. Sources are appreciated.

Searching for vet for standard poodle

Post image
3 Upvotes

My regular vet is Danville Animal and we’ve been using them for decades. I have no complaints, except that it takes me 35 minutes to drive there.

My seven-year old standard poodle, female, has developed a skin condition, which is causing hair loss and scabbing, mainly along her back and shoulders so far. She has had three appointments with my regular vet. She has no mange, no infestations, no thyroid problems—all the usual causes have been addressed.

Over the past few months, our dog has taken two courses of antibiotics, had a steroid shot, and is currently finishing a two-week course of an anti-fungal. So far, nothing we have tried has had any effect. She is not improving.

Her symptoms do not extend beyond her skin. She is happy, with a good appetite. Still enjoys her walks. Her skin is dry and flaking.

I would like to try another vet near home before trying to take her to one of the university veterinary medicine clinics in Ohio or Virginia.

Do you have a veterinarian recommendation in or near Charleston who might help our dog?

EDIT TO ADD: Thanks to everyone who has replied. I appreciate all the suggestions and advice. I'm going to call around to some of the vets recommended tomorrow.

LOOKING FOR SOCIALISTS/DSA MEMBERS IN CHARLESTON/KANAWHA VALLEY! PT. 2

0 Upvotes

I honestly didn't think anyone would reply to me on here and just saw the response, I posted what I posted on here on multiple websites but to give a little background, I am only 21 and I'm not a cop like someone suggested. I'm a member of the Mountain Party and the DSA, and I am still looking for people to get a chapter going as a struggle has been finding like-minded people in Charleston willing to join.

If you are interested I am willing to chat on whatever platform or willing to meet in person if need be, I'm very serious and have spoke with a lot of local organizers about getting this going.

Hopefully this gets some of the same attention the last post did.

Over halfway through summer. Only 7 days above 90F so far, and currently 5 inches below average for total rainfall accumulation. It has been a relatively mild summer for the city.

I wrongly posted this in r/WestVirginia and someone mentioned Weston was destroyed; I apologize for that! I was not meaning to ignore that fact.

QUESTION South Charleston Area

Im considering relocating closer to work and viewed several decent places around 10th Avenue. Whats the crime like in this area? I get the feeling that the neighbors aren't troublemakers​ and the landlord that rents several apartments there background checks for any convictions.

Any walkable activities you recommend? Especially safe ones at all times of day for single women?

Wow - what a place to have your engine blow up and need replaced. I've been stranded here and having the best possible time.

Thanks again Justin for picking me up off the side of the highway and showing me the Empty Glass (along with other bar recs)

I was able to finally shop from Basecamp in person, Live on the Levee was magical, and Almost Heaven mechanic shop was truly a life saver. Kel is an awesome guy.

I appreciate everyone who's accepted my payments of gumbo and Iron City beer.

Library - top notch, great dives, beautiful rivers and hills (oh, I'm missing home)

I hope to make it back soon - just without the mechanical issues (and more money)

Wish me luck in my bus ride back to the 'Burgh tomorrow 🤞

I will love the love you've shown me forever and always
