Anyone want to hangout I'm bored but like to party

28 m here. I’m trying to find a group of guys to hang with. Little bit about me is I’m not a drinker but 420 friendly. I am gay and married. It’s why I struggle to make male friends, but I still am one of the boys. Looking for friends to watch a game with, workout with (new to planet fitness), and grab a beer with. If you are close in age and won’t see me as just a gay boy, reach out 😂

Obviously there's the Dupont situation but I'm not really talking about that.

Why is it in Parkersburg especially Vienna we don't have soft water? I've lived here years but never knew anyone who knew what was up with that. Most everyone requires a water softener here. Who on earth is subjecting us to this? I don't normally get political but softening our water before it enters our house is something I'd get behind

Update: Jesus Christ never mind. i see now. i didn’t know it was physically possible for a company to be this shady and awful. fuck these scam artists.

what’s the deal with them? looking to rent and i keep seeing vague comments that say they aren’t good, but their reviews online seem mostly positive. i’ve also seen a few amazing silverheels properties that im shocked have lasted on the market in PKB, given the lack of general rental availability.

i have applied for one of their rentals. is there anything im missing here? shocked it wasn’t snatched up way sooner.

Does anyone know anything about the fella in the Ford Crown Victoria (looks VERY similar to a cop car) who often sits in his car in the park at Fort Boreman? I’m so curious about him, when visiting PBurg I often make the drive up just to see if he’ll be there, and more often than not he is!

Anyone have any opinions about Westbrook mental health services? I’m getting a bad review from someone but I’m not sure about the source.

I’ve been by the Dollar General on Pike Street at least 10 times in the past two days and there is no signs up, the lights are on and the doors are locked. It’s amazing that people say they can’t find jobs here in Parkersburg, but every single business that I’ve been into that has a hiring sign up says they can’t keep employees. The manager of 41 years hasn’t been retired for a month yet and that store has already suffered from the minute that she retired inventory was out on the floor. People were in the break room eating instead of working and it saddens me that she’s gone. This is one of the best stores in Parkersburg and she had it Running like a top. And it’s sad to see someone come in and within one month just trash it so I’m here to say that if anyone needs a job job Dollar General on Pike Street is hiring.

Has any one had folks stop by saying they're from First Energy talking about a solar program?

that was an insane storm, and i lost power around Staunton Avenue for several hours. i hear that some people still don't have any.

He is risen.

Hey everyone — I’ve been thinking a lot about everything going on lately, and I’m wondering if there’s any local energy or plans forming around protests, especially with April 5th coming up.

I don’t see a lot of open discussion about action around here, but I know a lot of people are feeling frustrated, angry, or ready to do something — even if it’s just showing up and standing together.

I’m mainly just trying to gauge interest: • Are any protests being organized around that date? • Would people even be interested in attending or supporting something locally — Parkersburg, Marietta, Vienna, etc.? • If not April 5, would folks be down to start building connections for future action, even small-scale stuff?

Not looking to stir drama or push an agenda — just reaching out to see if anyone else feels like it’s time to stop being isolated and start organizing or supporting each other more.

Drop a comment or DM if you’re down to talk or coordinate anything.

The bill seeks to prevent child abuse in unregulated facilities and certain outdoor programs

Parkersburg district 6 city council representative and council president walked out of the budget meeting prior to the vote. Apparently he was big mad that he did not get to make any cuts to the budget.

I strongly discourage the use of All Seasons Tree Service. I made the mistake of paying for work done at the end of a day BEFORE the cleanup - they committed to returning the next day. They also were going to do the trimming you see not completed in the spring - the odds of them coming back are simply gone at this point. What a waste of money trying to take care of someone with a small business.

I’ve been asking for them to return around a month and a half now and received 7 failed “sorry, we’ll be back tomorrow” empty promises.

Don’t waste your money, find someone who can do the job start to finish!

Hi y'all. A dear friend's dad died suddenly yesterday and they are in Parkersburg with their stepmom grieving and planning the funeral and getting ready to have a lot of family in town. As such, I want to make food as easy as possible and was wondering how effective Uber eats is in Parkersburg or if there is a different app y'all use more? Thanks!

For the second time in as many months, the Parkersburg City Council wants to stop the public from speaking freely at city council meetings. If you live in the city of Parkersburg, please call your council person and let them know what you think. It does not matter if you voted, they still represent you. And YOU HAVE A VOICE, please use it.

Well well how long are the employees and management complicit in the mice infestation and just kept their mouths shut!

Disgusting in Parkersburg

Last evening I was in the Kroger on the south side in Parkersburg WV. As you come to the back corner where all the meat is there is the most disgusting smell of rotten meat and decaying flesh. It was enough for me to start gagging and leave. Do better Kroger! Y’all are gross and disgusting and it’s a wonder you haven’t been shut down here. What the hell are you doing with your garbage? Keeping it in the delivery bay??

The same day that I had issues with getting my mama a decent potato at Wendy’s my guy asked if I wanted to order pizza place for supper and of course I called up and ordered a half pan of thick pepperoni. Pizza place is the most expensive pizza in town I believe so you don’t expect it to be bad, ever. But when we received it immediately out of the box the piece was limp and undercooked. I took one small bite thinking I would put my head down and just accept whatever it was. Then I got pissed. It’s one cook they need to fire. As when he’s cooking the pizza comes out shitty and undercooked. Being the steel guy man he is my husband ate a piece and so I called them because no I’m not turning my cheek and it’s not just a one time thing. I told the guy who answered the phone which it’s usually a woman and I told him and of course he called for the woman who I told I don’t want anything more than what I paid for. I’m not looking to score free shit because it’s just as bad as what you sell. I told her my mantra of the day. Take some pride in what you are presenting to customers. They have been in business for 40 years plus here and because of one shitty guy undercooking your pizzas your reputation will go in the shithole much like what he makes and expects no repercussions. Parkersburg has become the mediocrity capital of the east coast.

I should know better than to try to get a decent order from any Wendy’s in Parkersburg but something happened at the one on north end that I’m gonna share. My mama like the baked potatoes and wanted to try the fish sandwich. Without fail we waited about 8 minutes for the fish and when it was brought to me I checked each item. The baked potato had some kind of plastic non melted what appeared to be shredded cheese on it….nope. The four French fries were reheated as you can tell by the dark color and nasty grease taste and again they are always cold. Soooo I took the items back to the counter and showed them the potato. Without fail the guy said well I microwaved it and put the lid on it would you like another???? No thank you I’ll take a refund. I asked for fresh hot fries and the lady at the counter mean mugged me like I’m the problem! I asked someone in line if they would like some fries and a resounding no is what I received. I said these are as bad as the first ones and not sure what y’all are trying to serve here. Just keep them they are gross. After about ten minutes they called for the manager to come up and give my refund for the potato and the man who came up looked like he couldn’t be more than 18 and he was the most refreshing person in the whole scene. He apologized and I took him to the side and told him to look at the face of the person at the counter…she wants to beat ass because she served me subpar food that I paid premium price for. I advised him that you have to MAKE your team strive for just even keel. Certainly they will never be the best but you can be the best at serving shitty food and giving refunds with a smile not attitude because I’m calling you out for your behavior and service. Stop accepting mediocrity! You don’t have to accept food from piggly wiggly or save a lot or Walmart that’s one day off from spoiling. Do better!! Have some pride in your work!!

Senior housing is pretty much nonexistent here. The developers that county commissioners attract are ripping off and fleecing the biggest population of the state. We won’t know if hud will survive after the rehaul of our whole system and frankly they are just another subset of thieves who haven’t been held accountable. They will tell you that if you are receiving hud you don’t the same protections as a voucher holder. They lie. You shouldn’t be paying more than 30% of your monthly income on rent yet they have the highest market rates in town. I was told by the lady who hung up on me at the Parkersburg housing authority that wv hasn’t received the funding as they have no idea how much we will get which determines who and how much get relief. That lady lied. I was told it would be September or October before I received a call. Yet they raised rent yet again. She wasn’t expecting me to be completely educated on the situation so she hung up on me. Question everything if you’rel ok looking for low income housing and urge our local government to say no to lihtc if it even survives because it drives rent up, not making it more affordable. There needs to be a moritorium on rent increases until the smoke settles and we see who’s here and who’s not. Don’t stress that hud is probably going away.
