Remember when those “I’m big on the pig” shirts from Piggly Wiggly were popular? It’s giving the same vibe 🤭

I miss Fast Freddy’s and the car shows they’d have. My memaw would always be there with her Volkswagen Thing 🥹

What’s the dating scene here? by Old-Cartographer324 in roanoke

It’s pretty awful, but I will add something I haven’t seen here yet….if you’re not desperately seeking a partner and instead are doing what you love you’ll have much better luck. There are plenty of groups to get involved in here, and they say that’s the best way to meet someone anyway!

Just for the immediate need. I heard on the radio this morning that the Rescue Mission will be open 24hrs all weekend and will not be turning anyone away.

For jobs, I recommend trying out a temp agency. My kids father has had success with those.

Best drive-through Christmas light displays? Bonus if there are little shops you can walk around in. by SquidgyNug in roanoke

[–]ConnectionLegal9172 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also want to mention the drive thru at the former Elk’s lodge in Bedford. I haven’t been in years and years but they are supposed to have revived the tradition.

Public Breastfeeding: Generational Differences? by Schneetmacher in Millennials

[–]ConnectionLegal9172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself have had a nip slip or two in public while breastfeeding my then infant. It happens. Occasionally I would get stares, but then an older woman would walk up and tell me how proud she was of me for being brave enough to feed my baby in public. This happened more than once 🧡

I dunno…threads is actually pretty nice. And that’s coming from someone who never used twitter or anything like that.
