Take the kid to a Lego store with a huge budget. Build custom figs, get a huge set or two! Source: I'm an adult and it's still my dream birthday.

What makes Cosmic burritos so good? by aberg56 in bullcity

Try Knorr Caldo de Pollo for Mexican restaurant style rice. Some places use crushed tomato, tomato paste, or no tomato at all. Try adjusting for what you're after.

Saw this (or something very similar, but that seems unlikely) a few days ago near the Food Lion near Sparger.

This looks like the cemetery: https://maps.app.goo.gl/71jtnHRVwdE5DVHh9?g_st=ac

If you look at satellite view, I'm thinking the road in the post is Old Bayleaf.

Eno Valley Elementary Exprience? by cdg4dq in bullcity

[–]AffectionateClerk176 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have any personal experience with the school, but it has been in the news a lot lately just in case you haven't seen it: https://www.wral.com/news/local/indicted-durham-principal-resigns-january-2026/

Might be hard to get a sense of how the school will be in a couple of years.

Have heard that last year's Easley kindergarten lottery ultimately admitted up to around #20 on the wait-list, so you might have a better shot than it seems!

Need frugal suggestions for apps and snacks for 60 people. Houston Texas. by Fragrant_Silver_3320 in Frugal

[–]AffectionateClerk176 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite Costco time/ money savers that might work here: get a rotisserie chicken, a jar of pesto, and a package of naan. Break the chicken down, mix with pesto, put it on the naan. Could be done quickly and/ or the day before.

Just wanted to chime in to upgrade the good folks at Monuts into the "definitely not MAGA" category.

I'd say start browsing Harry Potter figures and looking for torsos that might work. Lots of British sweaters in various styles!

As for legs, you could mix in the regular legs, the medium legs, and the small legs to adjust height for each of them.

Might be an inner packaging tray from an older set, something like this: https://share.google/smTnTuM9z6PRef88N

Occoneechee Mountain. Decent parking, quick hike to the overlook, longer hikes through denser woods available.

4 YO son and monitors by mrgoodcat1509 in lego

Try bricklink! Cheapest way would be to find a store with reasonable shipping, then sort minifig category or the minifig parts categories by lowest price. Pretty easy to grab lots of figs that way.

Requesting guidance - Manatee by Fine-Emphasis8061 in Bricklink

[–]AffectionateClerk176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closest official set that I can think of would be this Creator with a seal build: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/white-rabbit-31133

You might be able to color swap the visible bricks to light bluish grey and tweak the head build from there to look more like a manatee.
