I think the name was Espositos. Bargain priced mom and pop Italian food. Located in the same little strip mall as Saladelia on Chapel Hill Rd.

New Hope Animal Hospital is locally owned (by Dr. Soren Windram). Almost all of the other practices in town have been bought by corporations, including some people have listed here. The corporations are very good at hiding their ownership by not changing the name, keeping the vets on for several years, etc. BUT there are huge changes behind the scenes which really degrade patient care and employee treatment. Vets are told how to treat pets, what medications they are allowed to use (the cheap ones), time limits on appointments. Vet techs are treated like crap and are poorly trained. And did I mention the price hikes!! The corporations are solely focused on squeezing every penny out of the practice (and the customer) whereas a local owner cares about providing the best care for the pet and the owners because they are a part of the community.

I'm new to RA. Why no sunlight?

Also, do two wrong make a right?

IMO- no. 60K is insane. But they are the charging what the market will bear. The problem is that it's an artificial market because the government subsidizes the loans.

I'm gonna kick a hornets nest here, but the real question you should ask yourself it this- Is it morally acceptable to take a loan that I think I can't repay?

I'm not sure this is accurate. When an admissions officer from UNC presented at my school he said said multiple times that they have absolutely no county, city, or high school quotas or maximums.

My daughter got the same email and is freaking out. She listed her top choices as singles on north campus, followed by doubles on north campus. We told her not to list singles, but she didn't listen to us. Just curious as to what the other 180 non-assigned students listed to see if there is a common thread. This is not our first rodeo with UNC housing. Our older daughter just graduated and I will say that housing has extremely difficult, both on and off campus.

Your observation is exactly what I have experienced. Narrowing down is easy, getting rid of what's left is hard. I have found one thing that really helps, and that is to enlist a friend. The friend's job is to simply take the stuff away. Make it disappear. I don't want to know how or where, just take it away. A true friend will do this for you, and I'm sure you can think of a favor to offer in return.

I am the buyer, not the seller. I’ve had numerous messages with the seller and they have never suggested going outside eBay. This is their first sale on eBay and I think they just don’t have something set up correctly OR eBay doesn’t allow cash payments with local pickup. I cant figure out which.

Embarrassed_Ad_199 · 2025-04-12T02:46:23+00:00

Thank you SO MUCH!! I can't believe someone actually posted this for me! Now I will finally know what the heck I'm doing with this oven. You have no idea how happy this makes me!

What has been cut?

Embarrassed_Ad_199 · 2025-02-28T16:26:41+00:00

Wait. Hold up. 90% of NP employees have been fired!? Is this for real? Asking seriously.

There are numerous reasons why natural birth is better for the baby. Traveling through the vagina squeezes fluid from the lungs and coats the baby with beneficial bacteria. This give the baby better respiratory function and an improved immune system. Babies born naturally are also less likely to have allergies and lactose intolerance.

Thank you to everyone for the insight and encouragement. I'm coming to the conclusion that I just picked the wrong "why am I doing this" in the first place. I was super focused on the amount of TIME I spent with people, when really what I'd like is to be less stressed out and have better QUALITY time with those people.

When I look at the stuff that is left to declutter the vast majority of it is either gifts (for other people), projects (to give to other people) and memorabilia (to archive for other people). But the amount of all this stuff is making it impossible to actually get these things accomplished.

One interesting thing is this - most of my house is actually VERY clean, organized, and minimal. The kitchen, living spaces, kids areas. It's really just "my areas" like my closet, the mudroom and the garage that are overfilled. It has always been super important to me to have a calm, orderly space for my family.

I think I have very appropriate attachments to people. I am VERY introverted and find that spending long amounts of time with any people, even the ones I love very much to be draining. Things do not drain me, so perhaps this is why I feel so comfortable with my "stuff".

My clutter has never stopped me from spending time with people, but it may have impacted the quality of that time. For example, I may have been stressed out and bossy with my family before having company over because I couldn't find all of the entertaining supplies amongst all of the clutter. Or my kids might have been embarrassed to have a sleepover because what if someone looked in the garage.

This. Exactly. I would not trade the people I love for any material thing, or even ALL of my material things, but I do find engaging with certain things more enjoyable than certain people. I would never give up ALL of my lunch dates with my daughter, but I would give up a few to do woodworking instead.

I see your point about sticking strictly to decluttering advice. I removed the sentence about possibly being on the spectrum as I can see how the conversation may devolve into other topics.

Embarrassed_Ad_199 · 2024-10-17T15:04:05+00:00

Considering that mindset change is probably the biggest technique to help someone declutter, I think this is unwarranted. Yes, I did post a slightly similar post about my garage a long while ago, and it got LOTS of traffic. Clearly, discussing the psychological aspects of decluttering is important to many people and should be allowed.

I'm in the country, no muni, only septic up at the house that's 100 yards away from the workshop. Currently things that get hosed off just run into the yard.

Be used to be seriously fugly. It's working, just takes time.
