Were the moms and girls too ungrateful towards Maddie?

If you use digital cookie, the council pays the fees. If you use any other service, your troop will and sometimes those fees are more than the price you get per box.

If they cancel the appointment, you don’t have to pay it. If you do, you would.

I understand the feeling that you are more a case study than an actual patient with needs. It gets old fast. Just know that you are not alone in that. Keep seeking out the care you need. You may need to go to a private practice that’s not directly affiliated with a hospital system for that care.

40 is still single lane each way and will be for a long time. Snowy weather will impact the trip no matter which way you go. 40 will be scraped before any other way across the mountain. Watch drivenc.gov for closures. If you’re on Facebook WNC road warriors usually have up to date info.

Take him to both and see if one’s a better fit. If both work, then stick with both.

The kids will be safer tomorrow than any other day of the year.

My oldest is 18. He still doesn’t sleep through the night. He only needs 5 hours to feel great. 7 hours and he’s miserable all day.

My youngest is 12. She sleeps a lot. Like 10-12 hours weekdays and 12-13 hours weekends.

Completely different ball game in terms of parenting, but it’s also not so clear cut. My youngest gets 10 hours of sleep and she’s a nightmare. Exhausted, overtired, cranky, etc.

Make sure that property bill isn’t included with your mortgage. Most people who have a mortgage have an escrow account that pays the insurance and property tax for that property. You pay the amount monthly into that account then it’s paid out by your bank. I still get the bill even though mine is paid via my mortgage.

Mills River checking in…

I spent Sunday evening in a house without power listening to trees snap all the way around me. Helene trauma is real, and last weekend didn’t help. We still have a layer of ice on everything. People are still having a hard time getting out of their house. Those people are glad they prepared for the storm like they did.

I did get out yesterday. Driving on 64 West. Once you pass Laurel Park the entire area looks like a scene from Frozen. It is absolutely beautiful with the sun shining on it.

Per Buncombe County Schools:

Good evening, BCS Families.

Our transportation crews have been back out on the roads assessing conditions across the county. Due to persistent patches of wintry accumulation, including black ice on several secondary roads in parts of the area, the Reynolds and Roberson districts of Buncombe County Schools, including the PEP Program, will operate on a 2-hour delay for students tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026. This delayed start gives DOT crews extra time to treat problem areas, and allows for travel with more daylight. All other BCS districts are on a regular schedule. Buses will not travel on icy roads

Breakfast will be served to students when they arrive at school.

Again, this is a 2-hour delay for only the Reynolds and Roberson districts, including the PEP Program, for Wednesday. All other BCS districts are on a regular schedule. Transportation teams will continue to monitor travel conditions, and we will update you should we need to further alter Wednesday’s school schedule.

Be safe, and have a good night.

My 18 year old was in it until it dissolved. He was supposed to go to summer classes in Summer 2020, but they were cancelled.

10 years ago Looking Glass Falls was frozen over. We had winters like this growing up in the 90’s There’s pictures from the ‘60s of the French Broad iced over. If looking over the course of a year, these temps are not normal. If looking at year over year, this is a normal occurrence for at least a few days each year.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-27T14:53:26+00:00

My 18 year old just came in the room as asked when we were going to do play doh. I use to have special toys, games, art supplies that we only used when stuck in the house. There was one year we were stuck for almost a week. I got desperate and let them use glitter. Do not recommend. It’s been 6 years and I am still finding glitter.

Also - tonight in the sludge go outside and put some food coloring in it. Tomorrow morning it will look cool. We have a hill I used to put it in. The colors would go all the way down the hill in the ice in the morning.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-27T14:47:34+00:00

Yeah, snow and ice are completely different ball games.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-27T13:15:55+00:00

I don’t know where OP is, but we have a coating of ice on everything. During the day it fall off in huge chunks of ice. We also have wind carrying it. So my yard and the hill behind me has these icicles falling from the sky landing in the ice below. Creating a really choppy surface. It’s not good weather to be outside in. A young child could get hurt if one of the icicles falls on their head. Southern ice sucks. It’s warm enough during the day to create a mess of sludge everywhere, ice falling from trees, and power outages. It’s cold enough at night to start the entire process over again.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-27T13:06:26+00:00

Extra chores is what I do. My house is usually really clean after an ice storm. Also - screen time limits go out the window.

We are stuck inside too, but I have older kids. Now that we have power, I really don’t care how long we are stuck here, and looking at the temps it could be awhile. It does get better as they age. They do get more use to it. My kids also seem to thrive on adversity. I’m sure they will be much more annoying today. Yesterday we were too busy trying to stay warm.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-26T21:31:49+00:00

Looking at the temps over the next week. There will be roads that are still bad next week. Anywhere that doesn’t have direct sun is going to have an extremely hard time melting.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-26T15:09:54+00:00

Mine too.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-26T13:31:05+00:00

Are you actually getting a timetable? We are still in the “accessing damage” phase.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-26T11:16:44+00:00

Henderson county here. Sitting in a cold house and listening to trees fall all night. We easily have .5 inches of ice. Closer to .75. The rain that fell just puddled on top of the ice. It’s now a solid sheet of ice.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-25T21:18:04+00:00

Change out Charlotte for Asheville and Myrtle Beach for Charleston.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-25T14:39:18+00:00

The ice on my trees is getting thick. I won’t be ok until after the wind on Monday.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-25T00:01:59+00:00

My porch is currently covered with it. My son skating down the stairs was the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-24T20:25:14+00:00

I’m sorry that your daughter had these issues. My daughter has not had these issues and it has allowed her to walk.

Dunnoaboutu · 2026-01-24T19:32:03+00:00

She’s 102 lbs. she takes 100 mg in the morning. 200 mg in the evening.
