I’m sorry you lost people bc of his evilness. I remember growing up glued to the tv while crying families stood outside various mine collapses. It was haunting. My daughter lives there and is actually a wv ambassador. It’s a program for wvu grads to keep them in state and affect a change. She’s still optimistic and…

It does happen everywhere but I’m so familiar with the state I take it personally and it frustrates me. I went back recently bc my husband had a job offer to be state director of a disability rights agency. It was just not worth the added struggle. People fight against the help that is available. They demonize…

And woody has been able to benefit from the fact that many people don’t do that tiny bit of research and want to believe him bc he’s woody Allen. Then there are those of us who read the supporting documents bc we see no reason to take his word for it. He’s been creepy forever.

Yeah it sucks that it’s usually a tragedy that brings news crews and unfortunately the tragedies and disasters don’t befall the well off so we get to see the people in the hollers or the less polished natives. It always makes people mad that it seems they focus on people that embarrass the state but they are the…

So fellow former home stater! When you saw that couple who keep their kids shackled and starved in Cali was it your second or third thought that the dude has wv hair? It was my second. Turns out his family is in Princeton (wv). There’s a real life wv monster!

It’s just my uncle!

A million times ^THIS^

They really do wish to call another constitutional convention. A few years back I rolled my eyes at this idea. Taking it seriously now. Wish they learned the constitutional convention was needed bc the articles of confederacy were useless.

I’m sorry you were abused. My abuser expects and demanded I forgive her so I’ll be at peace. She never apologized. Once I knew I didn’t need her apology and forgiveness meant me never mentioning any aspect of the abuse to her well...I forgave myself. What they take isn’t deserving forgiveness.

Under 50 here! We were required to climb the rope. I never once made it a few inches off the floor. Sadists.

She’s trivializing your illness to be cute. That blows. I hear this a lot too from people who know I’m bipolar but think it’s handy when referring to being scatterbrained or overwhelmed. Maybe we should tell them outside of diagnostic circles people that inappropriately use that word are considered dipshits.

I’ve been informed West Virginia also has the sheepsquach. I’m shaking my head in disbelief.

I don’t doubt that somewhere, someone condones this. Ugh

I’m a native West Virginian and have to say y’all best get your own cryptozoolical beastie! Mothman is all we’ve got! ( don’t live there anymore but still)

Bit it does have something to do with homeschool. The father was granted permission by the state to create this homeschool. This is the very worst of the homeschool movement

And then these morons have a passel of kids for with they receive an educational stipend and are allowed to homeschool them with little oversight. They fought to keep checks on the children at a bare minimum preventing outside eyes and teachers from evaluations that would reveal child abuse.

SP&A I’m so sorry you’re being harassed. I think we’re in the same state. If you’re like me, SNS is reprieve from some of the stuff stuff I’m dealing with. I hope it stops soon!

I aopreciate you calling out the mean-spirited troll I’m newish around here and I don’t want her going all scorched earth on me to make me feel like a dunderhead. I come her to interact and have an outlet. She is a messy chaos creator. It speaks ill of her

I’m hoping you didn’t get douche cooties
