I remember talking with one person who said she'd rather have her friends catch her with a sack of dildoes than a box of ammo for her pistol.

Fair, I missed that Florida part! No PPT, niiiiice.

While we’re on the subject, most aromatherapy essential oils are also toxic to cats. Vaporizing them in your home has the potential to lead to illness and death.

>I guess, but everyone knows they owe taxes.

Yeah, I knew I owed taxes and was already paying several new taxes I didn't have in Florida. But nobody gave me a guidebook for "first time Virginia residents" telling me I had to make sure all the different agencies did their jobs and set up my account in their systems so they could bill me.

I certainly didn't think I'd be owing Richmond City taxes on a new car I purchased (and already paid Florida sales tax) five months before moving here.

ETA: I did try telling the city they're at fault for not getting the records from the DMV, despite me registering for utilities and voting in the city 3 months after I moved here in 2012. They didn't care and literally said this was on me.

Idk about greyhound specifically but there's different bus companies that do pick ups at like 7-11 or like random walmarts/targets. Also Main St station and Staples Mill amtrak.

There still seems to be tickets available from the Greyhound station idk https://shop.greyhound.com/search?wheelchair=0&utm_campaign=4154879760.16450005751_139683059211.649280698442_kwd-371278149981_9008459__&departureCity=fefedffb-19fe-4ff5-ada8-47d715705a5a&utm_medium=sea-nonbrand&arrivalCity=adcc1f7d-3bfe-471d-9946-28253814a09b&rideDate=04.04.2023&bike_slot=0&utm_term=bus%20richmond%20to%20dc&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiZqhBhCJARIsACHHEH-p4jEHclxYEc3Je8FKcliv2WcuGptfIwH0i9CjkaMPdWQR1nwggw4aArskEALw_wcB&us_children_2_15=0&adult=1&utm_source=google&utm_content=us-com.greyhound&features[feature.darken_page]=1&features[feature.enable_distribusion]=1&_locale=en_US

I had this same thought as I was scrolling down the responses. Family is from the Eagle Rock/Fincastle/Troutville area in Botetourt. Buchanan (town) is another one in that county that folks mispronounce.

I wasn't thinking about it until you said that. Oof. 😂

This is going to suck, OP, but that's the only way to do this. Stop trying to make it convenient for yourself and go in person because, as far as the City is concerned, you're responsible for paying those taxes.

You'll probably get multiple tax bills at the same time since they'll want back taxes; see my comments elsewhere in this thread since it happened to me 😒

I wish someone gave me that advice the first year I moved to Richmond because it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary frustration years later.

I can attest that this little thing is awesome. When I did my research into them, this was the only one (with a reasonable price) that uses a process to create random background noise. A lot of the other ones on the market can have loops of sound, and eventually your brain gets used to the loop pattern and when that happens the white/brown/pink noise no longer works as well...

Oh! And when I moved to Henrico in 2016 and updated my registration, Henrico was on the ball and had me on record within weeks of moving here.

Richmond, on the other hand, continued to bill my leased car originally signed when I lived in Richmond, for two years after I returned it to the dealer. Then, because Kia Financing refused to pay taxes for a car I didn't have (and didn't notify me since that account was closed), and they probably sold to someone else, Richmond found my Henrico address and sent me collections notices for two years of back taxes... for a car I didn't have.

Took over six months to get them to finally knock it off and cancel the collections agency's account for me. I had to send them multiple copies of me returning the car to the Kia dealer and that I had been living in Henrico (and had that and my new car registered there) the entire time they were trying to collect taxes. 🤬

I think this is due to flawed thinking about how often people move, the average is incredibly low sometimes. They never follow up via email or phone which are not tied to an address.

The average person who owns a home moves every 8 years... Right before 2008 the average for an owned home was much lower at 4 years. That's not including renters.

if anyone needs a fridge (freezer is great, fridge doesn't cool enough) and can haul it away, please let me know.

I guess, but everyone knows they owe taxes. One of the only 2 guarantees in life, and the other is death. After 1 year knowing I didn’t pay taxes, I’d be quick to get that figured out so fees and interest don’t pile up, and it doesn’t go to collections. Ever tried to tell the city they’re at fault?

It's best not to think about a monthly cost of bird seed. I guess I'm not paying for, say, a gym membership so I use that to justify how much I spend on the wee beasties.

Sitting here trying to glue parts together of an old rotary phone. Thankfully work is boring and I have time to fix it. It's also way too quiet in here.

I’d love to work with you! Shoot me a message here or through my website if you are interested!

It happens more often than you think.

It happened to me when I moved here from Florida 11 years ago. I got my VA Driver's License, registered my car, registered to vote, got my utilities set up, and thought that was all I had to do. Three years later, I heard coworkers talking about their personal property taxes for their car and I went "whaaat, I haven't gotten any bills, is this for anyone who has a car here in Virginia?"

So, being the honest person I was, I tried contacting Richmond City's tax department over a few weeks and would only get the answering machine. Left voicemails, sent two emails, and nothing. Then a few months later, I get three year's worth of personal property tax bills on the same day... all due upon receipt. I couldn't afford the $2950 they were asking for (for a three year-old car) and could only pay one of the three bills at the time, so of course the other two went to collections until I could pay them over the next few months 😑

Shame on me for not doing their job, I guess.

I have never heard anyone pronounce it as "Lay" street.

Selling 3 piece sectional couch, color red. Perfect for anyone who needs in a fan apartment that has stairs. Originally paid 2k. Selling for $100

Well that makes sense because every time I try to go to fuck your county google maps sends me to Bellevue!!!

Its jay-nk but honestly ever since folks reported how their car navigation systems pronounce it I have adopted Jon-Kay for its regalness.

Lol I was born there. Google voice thinks I’m asking for f* your county

Selling a ~56cm Raleigh 7005 Series Road Bike, $450.

This is a 56cm 7005 Series aluminum frame, carbon fiber fork Raleigh road bike. I purchased it in 2014, and have ridden around ~500 miles on it. It has been regularly maintened, with basic maintenance and cleaning by me and two tune-ups at a bike store (ReCycles). It was originally all aluminum, but I upgraded the fork to carbon fiber after I bought it. The wheels were replaced around 150 miles ago, and the (more recent) Gatorskin tires are in good shape. Everything is mechanically in good order, but there are some cosmetic scuffs (no dents or bends)/old sticker pieces on the frame, and the seat has a tear in it.

You are welcome to ride it around the neighborhood to try it out as long as you've got some form of ID (preferably driver's license) to show. I am 5'11 and it fits me comfortably, it should fit someone between ~5'7" - 6'1". Cash or Venmo/paypal/cashapp are ok.
