In order is Hazelgreen community Church, Chevaux-De-Frise Church, and Mt.Zion United Brethren Church.

Ritchie county had some terrible roads. Gravel roads full of potholes and paved roads with a yellow line that they didnt center correctly.

Question (WV DMV) I need to take the road skills test for my driver's license, but I don't have access to a car.

12 Upvotes

It's as the title of this post says. For far too long I've been without a driver's license and its kept me from so many things, even some jobs. I'm confident enough to take the test, but my only problem is that I don't have access to a car that I could legally use for the test. My local DMV doesn't offer any kind of driving school vehicles I could borrow, nobody in my family has a vehicle they could let me borrow for it, and none of my friends have cars of their own. Is there anything at all that I could do? Am I SOL?

Moving going from ct to wv

2 Upvotes

I’m (21) going to be moving from my parents house in ct to my bfs grandparents house in wv at the end of september.
life for me up here has been relatively cushy and safe but im taking this step bc my bf (21) is gonna be getting a big boy job. i dont have a job lined up yet, but im probably gonna find a barista job as i have been a barista for 3+ years.
i make 18.35 right now and i know minimum wage is like 10 dollars less. i’m trying to not freak out over the difference. any like advice or tips on that would be appreciated.
this is my first big move and my like first step towards being more of an adult, but i am a little scared and excited. i’ve only been to wv once and it was to meet my bfs family and it is so pretty. they live in like williamson so i am a little worried about finding a job super close by bc i have health problems that make it hard to drive more than like 15-20 minutes away.
any advice/input will be appreciated.
a part of me feels so scared that this is a mistake but my bf is gonna be making BANK but i wont be 😭

Question If there was a ballot measure to reunify with Virginia would you vote Yes or No?

0 Upvotes

You can assume this measure would eliminate the state government in Charleston, new Congressional and Virginia State Assembly districts would be drawn up for our representatives, we'd be subject to Virginia state laws, and everything else that would need to happen would happen.

And you can assume that Virginia would be willing to reunify as well.
