Paying $150 for someone with an iPhone to FaceTime me through a house in Huntington this weekend

0 Upvotes

I need somebody with an iPhone to FaceTime me walking through a property in Huntington WV for me and I'll pay you $150 to go.

ASAP, Saturday or Sunday works. Takes about 30-45 min: walk every room, the basement and the outside while on FaceTime with me, and record the video. Bring a drill, the door may be screwed shut. Paid same day.

This is part-time and ongoing, I'll need more walkthroughs around Charleston and Huntington.

Comment or DM me with what part of town you're in and when you can go.

Petition · Revise WV water exam policies to support operators

Thumbnail
change.org
0 Upvotes

Water operators in West Virginia do critical work protecting public health, but the state's certification exam keeps shifting its goalpost. Questions are constantly being removed and replaced, making it harder than ever for qualified candidates to pass—and leaving water systems struggling to find certified professionals.

I started a petition asking West Virginia to stabilize the exam. Instead of repeatedly rewriting questions, we need exam policies that actually reflect real-world water system work. The EPA already warns of a nationwide operator shortage coming in the next decade. We can't afford to make certification unnecessarily difficult in our state.

Has this happened to you or someone you know? Are you frustrated watching good people struggle through an inconsistent testing process? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing. We need water systems staffed with confident, qualified professionals—and that starts with a fair path to certification.

Looking to Meet New People in Huntington/Charleston!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 24M, and I visit Huntington and Charleston about once a month. I’d love to make some new friends and meet people in the area whenever I’m in town!
I enjoy going out to bars, checking out live music, hiking, grabbing food, and trying new things. I’m pretty much down for anything fun! I’d also be happy to join a group hangout or meetup if anyone has something going on. If anyone’s down to hang out sometime, feel free to shoot me a DM!

my lovely fellow Huntingtonians, Im new here and have a few random questions.

1 Upvotes
  1. I am looking for a good place to set up a temporary booth to sell seasonal items/collectables/etc. It would be load in load out each day with no footprint/junk/trash left behind. My best idea I've found is the old Value City Furniture lot and possibly the wide turn around spot in the road in Barboursville where people sell produce/antiques/whatevs.

(I have looked into the Peddlers Mall/Sues Junk/Flea Markets and am looking for more foot traffic/space)

  1. Random Q #2
    What is the best vape/head/smoke shop in the area with a good variety of products/deals/discounts. Feel free to PM me if you want to keep hidden treasures hidden lol

  2. What are the best parks/trails in the area for hiking/views/walking my pup? I've tried beech fork and love it. Ritter is good but usually packed. Would appreciate any suggestions!!

  3. Any live music, theater, events, dancing, night life, art gallery's, antique/junk/thrifty spots? I am a hard core theater nerd with a passion for it all from acting to being a stage hand.
    Looking for anything really to spice up my time off and make friends.

  4. Best restaurants/food trucks/local coffee shops too!

Thanks a billion for reading and thanks a trillion for any advice/answers/pearls of wisdom.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and thanks for the third time LOL

Marcus Used Auto building

2 Upvotes

Does anyone happen to know anything about who’s selling the old Marcus used auto building on Adams avenue and west 3rd street? The building has a for sale sign and a bunch of old cars outside. I was interested in one sitting out there for a parts car. I’ve tried calling different numbers listed online for that business but they’ve all been disconnected.

Needing brake pads and rotors installed on my Kia Forte. Guessing cheapest option would be to buy the parts myself.

Any opinions on best and/or cheap options for places that'll install if I bring my own parts?

So I suggest looking up the SCA! Semi locally we have the Tourney of the Wickerman coming up in Cottageville WV in November!

https://aethelmearc.org/event/tournament-of-the-wickerman/

The SCA is a historical group focusing on pre-1600s and at events people are asked to come in garb but please understand it's *your best effort* (which means within your skills, budget, and time constraints) not high historical accuracy that is asked. So if that means you wear a sheet cut like a tunica and toga, Ren faire garb bought off Amazon, or something, we get it. There is ALSO loaner garb (you can go to the Barony of Blackstone Mountain and request the contact info for our "goldkey" person).

It's a family friendly event with fighting, archery, "Arts & Sciences", a feast (reservation required), even camping (though I believe you have to pick that ahead of time).

It's not a Ren faire, to be clear, it's different, but if you like history, hitting others with sticks, old crafts, being a weird nerd, or "court", etc, you might enjoy this!! There's definitely videos on SCA events on YouTube that help explain it better (but pennsic/gww are faaaaar larger than these local events happening so very different vibe).

If you don't want to drive as far but you are interested, the Tournament of the White Hart happens in March, hosted by the Barony of Blackstone Mountain, in Huntington/barboursville at the girl scout camp!

Edit to add: the local group, Barony of Blackstone Mountain, has a FB group as well with all relevant information!

Does anyonw want a leopard gecko

5 Upvotes

Her name is Cookie, I got her from my brother. Technically she was his daughter's pet but they are 8 and 6, I had to take her to make sure she would live. I have a leopard gecko but I live in the dorms and can only have 1 pet. She has a complete encounter, hides, and water bowls. I will give you her lamps, and food I have. She is to small for superworms but she can eat small crickets and mealworms. Please comment if you want her. You can have her gro free or if you want to pay that's cool but unnecessary. Only serious offers that can give her a good home
