Income Tax

Since I haven’t seen anyone else post it - I make money trading so I pay taxes ahead of time instead of waiting until tax time like most people and my tax guy informed me that income tax rates for this coming filing year have been reduced from a max of 6.5% to 4.5% - so I guess the state actually is doing what they said with gradually reducing it every year until we get to no income tax.

But just wanted to inform everyone that wasn’t aware, you will be paying slightly less than was anticipated

A Warning about Amendment 1

I voted today and the poll worker was so kind and all, up until she said "The Amendment thing at the end.. you can just say "yes" to.

For those, like me, who didn't know, it's an attempt by our State government to make any sort of euthenasia illegal.

This is the kind of bullshit they are wasting out tax dollars on, instead of trying to do right.

Edit I voted AGAINST Amendment 1, because I believe everyone should have the right to decide anything about their own body.

Great Cacapon WV Question

Please Remove if not allowed,

I used to live in Great Cacapon WV years ago and there was this old burnt up house that my friends and I would go into and explore. This house was on what’s now Detour Rd. It was kind of hidden if i’m remembering correctly. I’ve always been interested in the history of this house it seemed super old at the least 25yrs possibly even 50. They have now built a new house on the property but originally the house looked untouched except for it being burnt up. There was a barn on this property as well. Does anyone have any information on this house, what happened, why did the people just up and leave everything.

Thanks

Fire fees?

We moved here in 2018. Today we were served that we owe fire fees from then onward, but have never received any notice, paperwork, anything at all. We've never even been told this whole time. Where were we supposed to have found this information out at, as no one has ever contacted us until today about them? Just trying to figure out where the hell this came from.

EDIT I was so aggravated I forgot to put the county. 🤦 We're in Berkeley. The fire board has the right address, so I opened a service investigation with USPS. We're not going to fight it, you can't prove a negative, but someone royally fucked us somewhere along the line.

Is it safe to travel to West Virginia?

Hi! I'd love any opinions y'all can give me on West Virginia. I trying to book a trip to West Virginia for New Years. For context, I am hispanic and female, and I'd be traveling with two other hispanic women. So, I'd love to know if you all have suggestions for which cities are the safest for us to travel to? What areas should I avoid? Any good tourist attractions/places in general that are nice to visit?

Thanks in advance for any help!

The Lore of Patrick Morrisey…

Patrick Morrisey was born on December 21, 1967.

The Silver Bridge collapsed on December 14, 1967.

These events were literally 1 week apart.

As we all know, the Silver Bridge is where Mothman was sighted.

Mothman is actually an extra-dimensional being, and is the guardian angel of these lands.

For WV and ALL ACROSS Appalachia.

The original people, the natives… they knew this about Mothman, and they appreciated this being.

With all of this being said…

Humpty Dumpty - yes, the one we all learned about as kids…. It’s not just a story.

It was a legend that was passed down and rearranged over millennia.

The truth is that Humpty Dumpty is ALSO an extra dimensional being.

And he is immortal.

We don’t know his intensions, but they’re likely malevolent because Mothman was here to stop him.

On December 15, 1967 - the Mothman miscalculated where he should appear, so he could stop Humpty Dumpty from possessing the human form that was brought into this world on December 21, 1967.

He accidentally arrived a week too soon, and he arrived at the wrong location.

Mothman can only exist in our dimension for short bursts of time, and is only able to cross into Earth realm maybe about every 5-10 years.

This entity, Humpty Dumpty… he’s here… and we have no idea what he’s going to do.

The presence of this entity alone brought in the evil spirits that allowed Pitt to defeat WVU in 2007, stopping a National Championship… and ultimately, a course of events that would have brought the entire world free electricity, access to clean water, world peace, and prosperity.

HUMPTY DUMPTY IS REAL

MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL

Anybody know if Mon Power call center employees are allowed to use medical cannabis?

Hey everybody! I’m interviewing for a job at mon power through a contractor called innosource. I’m a medical cannabis patient and I’m curious if they will take issue with that. I know I could just ask them but I’m worried if I do they won’t hire me. I’m willing to stop for the job but I’d of course need to know ahead of time so I’d pass a test

What to do between Pittsburgh and Huntington

My wife is running the Huntington Marathon this weekend and looking for something to do on the way there. Can only be a half-day at most.

Was planning on the Beckley Coal Mine Tour, but I looked at the calendar wrong and last day is Friday. We are traveling Saturday. Currently thinking the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. We are hiking NRG on the way back. No hiking on the way there since my wife is running 26 miles the next day.
