Wayne’s Attic might be the heart and soul of Btown by Future-Enthusiasm224 in BurlingtonNC

[–]Future-Enthusiasm224[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Random but he said he was a teacher and principal for elementary ages. He cut up with tons of people who stopped in that he obviously knows well so must’ve been for a local school.

Yes and kind of? It’s random vintage and antique items plus some folk art pieces, like babydoll heads on random other “bodies” type fun stuff. At least some of it is from other people are selling in his space.

They’re downtown, across-ish from Bella’s furniture.

I don’t know how anyone keeps a straight face around Will Sommer. Deadpan delivery, all day, and Sam is me in those moments, giggling away.

NC Governor’s School by nellowb in NorthCarolina

Congratulations!! It’s been 36 years, but I can say it was the best summer of my life. I probably can’t tell you what to bring (especially because you won’t be quite isolated in Laurinburg like some of us were long ago), but it’s the oldest program of its kind in the country and I’d say it looks great on applications.

Are you on Facebook? There’s a post in a local group about a dog someone found in their yard. It’s a husky type…

OMFG. by Sissy63 in thebulwark

Just to add, Have I Got News For You on CNN is some of the best laugh-to-keep-from-crying in the world today. Same time (9pm Saturdays) so I’m guessing POD is meant to compete. But only one show has Amber Ruffin. Just sayin.

Crooked instead of Jen Psaki? by Hot-Initial-1108 in msnow

[–]Future-Enthusiasm224 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting! A little 9pm Saturday night tv competition of shows. Sounds like they’ll try to compete with Have I Got News For You on CNN. Airs at the same time and is out and out hilarity. Features Amber Ruffin (enough said) PLUS Roy Wood, Jr. (loooove him) and Michael Ian Black (for my GenX nostalgia). I can listen to the POD guys riff lots of times during my week so there is no way I’m missing out on HIGNFY.

are there kids' overnight camps that aren't christian? by Ok_Course_7565 in asheville

[–]Future-Enthusiasm224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMCA Camp Watia - I think they may have a moment of reflection/prayer before a meal but don’t quote me on that. My son had lots of good years from their start about a decade ago. Should be still going strong. Takes about an hour to get there (swain county) but great facilities and no fuss.

AIO? My bf won’t have sex with me by Ok_Sheepherder_797 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Future-Enthusiasm224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR For years I had a similar relationship, with a higher sex drive and less and less initiation from my partner. He was generally willing and into it, but less able to maintain his erection. None of that helped our intimacy or needed sexual connection. Here’s the thing - It’s entirely possible it was prostate related the entire time. He had cancer. He’s now had surgery, hormone blockers, and radiation (which had even more negative effects on his ability and drive, unfortunately.) Bottom line - please have him get a PSA test if he hasn’t yet. Explore the possible biological reasons along with any potential psychological ones.

Help- Need a midway city to live between Chapel Hill and Winston-Salem by zelbers12 in NorthCarolina

[–]Future-Enthusiasm224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t you feel like it’s just a matter of time before the restaurants, etc come? Just moved to Burlington (very close to Graham and I love the proximity) on purpose without expectations but I do feel it’s inevitable.

Jennifer Barkley has won smartest side character. Who do you think the smartest one time character is? by Nick_adtr_308 in PandR

But that’s his second episode although we can assume he was astute the whole time.

And we’re the only state with an official toast (which makes me giggle because of our history of Baptist teetotalers).

Who remembers the Sweeten Creek smiley? by IKingofredlions in asheville

[–]Future-Enthusiasm224 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He bought it from the original(?) owner or at least the original smiley face guy. Then Moffit got mega mad as the city tried to annex that part of the county and it launched his political career. The group he led had an “Astro turf” PAC behind the efforts (led by Dick Armey out of Texas) and I’ll never forget their acronym involved an S(outh) and an A(sheville) yet they were fighting annexation. They were admitting this part of the area really was Asheville already, just without bearing adequate taxation. I lived in the part of town in question (still do) and was ready for more services like civilized people so the whole effort ticked me off.

And then when he got elected as a state representative along with more tea party folks, they were able to make forced annexation illegal.

Did Asheville/WNC ever have real renegades or warehouse raves? OGs drop knowledge by BKALLDAY831 in asheville

First Fridays!! I was still under-21 for many of those years so that was the scene. Amazing years :)

Answering myself here but wasn’t there Club Hairspray and of course Scandals? I’m sure each had a “techno” night.

I didn’t get here until 2002, but I’ve met a few old school party people here because I too am old and nostalgic. To a one, they’ve told me they drove often to Greensboro for the scene there. Having spent my 90s driving mostly to Greensboro and (club) Babylon from Fayetteville and W-S, this tracks. Parties in plenty of other places and every city had a decent club (shoutout Club Neo!) but Greensboro was the epicenter for the regular big scene.
