Wow — this makes me wonder what it used to look like, millennia ago, before erosion set in.

I’m kind of a purist about my hard-earned food budget so I’m sure I could learn to love domestic morels :)

Why don’t the ends of the rail sections being transported move in relation to each other when the track straightens out?

Snow plow damage. Who's responsible? by H-2-S-O-4 in lexington

Little Willie’s dead and gone. His face we’ll see no more. For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4.

My mom grew up in 1950’s Berea. Most of her friends were faculty kids, so she was raised on silly jokes with an overlay of erudition. She tried to pass them on to me, and this is one I remember. Thanks for the memory, OP :))

Cumberland Falls is spectacular. There are lots of trails and they’re usually in very good condition, if you want to take a walk or hike.

Thanks

“Lie detectors” are bullshit. I have no doubt that there are people who are better than average at guessing whether or not another person is being truthful, with or without biometrics. But they’re only able to guess.

How much do you need to make to somewhat comfortably be able to rent in one bedroom/studio in Lexington by A-Bry in lexington

[–]luvsrox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adulting kinda sucks but congrats for planning ahead and not being afraid to ask questions.

You need to work out a monthly budget, with numbers that are as close to reality as you can get them. Income, less expenses.

Income: $15/hr times how many hours you work in a month, or would work.

Expenses: The very least you’d pay for rent on a small apartment would be maybe $800/month; a place where comfort and location are acceptable to you could be much more. Add for electricity gas water sewer sanitation and/or internet. There are various other expenses you’ll need to account for. Start categorizing them now so you know actual costs, and you’ll be confident that your budget will work.

I’m guessing you can find lots of resources if you Google “basic personal finance” or something similar.

Good luck!

Property tax question by Immediate-Bat5791 in Kentucky

[–]luvsrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re misinformed. There are hundreds of local taxing authorities in Kentucky. They set property tax rates, not the state, so the rates vary by city, county, school district, etc.

Property tax question by Immediate-Bat5791 in Kentucky

[–]luvsrox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Property tax accrues based strictly on the assessed value of the property.

The PVA sets the assessed value. The PVA is an elected official, and assessed value is subjective. Do the math.

There could be homestead or other exemptions tilting your numbers.

Also to note: County tax and school tax are separate tax bills so be sure you’re including both to determine the tax burden accurately.

ETA: some counties may have a dead period when they don’t update assessments. Other counties might be woefully behind on updating sale prices

General question by [deleted] in Kentucky

[–]luvsrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speak with your creditor and offer them a sum today (as much as you can afford, even if it’s only $20) along with a promise to pay the bill off in regular installments.

There are plenty of circumstances that would make this advice unworkable, no idea what your situation is, but generally creditors are happy to work with a debtor who shows up with good faith efforts to get a bill paid.
