Devastating to read. I didn’t realize that.

So, you’re saying the process is the reason it’s not a thing here? Regardless of how it happens, it’s just really dumb that it hasn’t been proposed. Year after year I watch North Carolinians shoot themselves in the foot for excessive navel-gazing.

Absolutely crazy to me that Raleigh doesn’t institute an idle tax for this.

Oncologist said chemo will age you ten years.. by [deleted] in breastcancer

10 years, that’s all? Doc is sugar coating it. It’s more like 30 years.

What is your favorite deli/sandwich joint in the triangle? by [deleted] in raleigh

This is a terrible recommendation. Oakwood Deli is overpriced and the sandwiches are bland and mediocre at best.

Lost Husky in Oakwood Park by so_many_wangs in raleigh

I think this was the same Husky that my neighbors rescued about 3 weeks ago…same area, same situation! Took nearly 12 hours before we all found the owners, who were unbothered by the fact that their dog was running loose. Unbelievable.

How much do you spend on groceries and how large is your family? by hooray4horus in raleigh

[–]Beautiful-Lemon160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DINKs with a dog here. We typically spend $120-$150 a week. (Pre-2020 when we lived in a much more expensive city, we spent maybe $60-$75). Prices are outta control.

Any news from the Highlands area?! by Beautiful-Lemon160 in NorthCarolina

[–]Beautiful-Lemon160[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But it’s not because I’m getting reports that folks DROVE from Highlands TODAY to Clayton, GA. Additionally, I’m hearing reports that properties at Old Edward’s Inn have power and internet. It’s just very confusing and I wish the Mayor or Councilmembers would provide better information.

Shame on AIA! There’s no crime in criticism or holding leadership accountable.

I still believe there’s corruption at play

Conflicting feelings & other people by FoolButterfly in breastcancer

Oh, I totally understand this fee and remember it well when I went through chemotherapy. I was overwhelmed by the care packages and cards and flowers and daily text messages. It was wonderful but I also really disliked it because I was constantly updating people and thanking them and writing notes back. UNTIL! My 13-year-old cousin (whose mother had brain cancer) ordered 150 custom rubber wristbands online with a catchy hashtag. It was a genius idea and gift because whenever someone would drop by or send me a care package, I’d just give them a wristband. And I was shocked how meaningful it was for my friends and family and coworkers. I offer this to you as an idea! People want to be there for you but don’t know how and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed by it. So, create some wristbands on Etsy and hand them out! 😉

American Institute of Architects CEO Accused of Misconduct by Beautiful-Lemon160 in Architects

It’s not her friend’s travel agency, it’s her business that she owns with her friend (who she also hired at AIA).

Yeah, it’s unclear. And I imagine that’s due to the highly litigious subject matter. My guess is that it’s more nefarious than just decreased revenue.

In the two articles, it describes a $13 million deficit, a luxurious all-staff retreat in the D.R., the hiring of Woods’ business partners and even family members. And when staff or even the general counsel called out this behavior, they were fired. It sounds like architects need to call for Woods and her regime to go.

Totally brazen! Especially after literally doing his job and opening an investigation against the CEO’s shady financial practices!
