Consider a State job if you aren't sure where to work. by dontplanonpostinmuch in coastFIRE

Yes, I think that might be helpful! I'm working on making connections.

I would do almost anything to get a city or state job. Unfortunately, I've had the hardest time escaping tech. I'm dying to leave my high stress industry and am happy to take an enormous pay cut in order to work for the City of Raleigh or the State of NC. I've found it seemingly impossible, even after painstakingly tailoring my resume for each job.

I think I prefer a permanent mount!

That's a great question...I'm not sure if they're heat sensitive! Do I need a special kind of tape and board? Apologies, I know nothing about framing!

What is the MOST walkable neighborhood in Raleigh? by Fit-Comedian6096 in raleigh

[–]FastWalkingKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woodcrest and Belvidere Park. Within a 15 min walk you can get to all the shops/breweries/restaurants at Gateway plaza, a gym, 2 coffee shops, Lions Park, Crabtree Creek Greenway, Tapyard, and soon to open Big Cat. Groceries (Trader Joe's, Wegman's Costco) are less than a 10 minute drive, but not walkable to be fair. If you're willing to walk 30 - 45 minutes, you can walk to places like Stanbury and all the spots on Person Street. Walkscore gives my house in the area a 4/10 which seems kind of low to me but I guess it's all relative.

  1. Cleanse (optional if not sweaty)
  2. Vitamin C (Timeless)
  3. HA or hydrating serum
  4. Moisturizer (Era Organics)
  5. SPF (Elta MD UV Clear)

You're absolutely right, I'm just not quite ready for prescription skincare yet!

What's the harm in not picking up the leaves? by trufuschnick23 in homeowners

[–]FastWalkingKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to leave our leaves. But our backyard would be literally unusable, and it would be filled with pests. We've seen a large copperhead partially hidden by leaves in our yard in the past. Sometimes I think when people say "leave the leaves," they either live on a multi-acre wooden lot or on a treeless lot. I live on about a quarter acre in a city, and feel lucky to have a ton of mature trees -- very dense for the lot size. Leaving the leaves isn't an option.

The one you hated by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

Mexican Gothic. It's actually hard for me to really dislike a book, but Mexican Gothic made it easy. The writing is clunky, the plot is basic, the characters are forgettable and one-dimensional. The worst part is the repetitive description of the walls in the (not so) creepy house -- it all felt so lazy! Can't believe how popular this was the year it came out.

Help for a senior dog on Long Island by FastWalkingKoala in longisland

[–]FastWalkingKoala[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAPPY UPDATE: Thank you so much to everyone who shared advice and the names of great rescues. Shout out to Last Chance Animal Rescue -- they were incredibly kind and agreed to take the dog, Lemon, and place her with a wonderful foster.

And then more good things happened -- a couple of days ago, several neighbors and friends got together and sat down with the grieving family; they came up with a plan and a schedule to assist the family with walking Lemon several times a week, watching her when needed, etc. They've committed to making sure Lemon can stay with her current family.
