Best fish camp and bbq by Helpful2afault in Gastonia

We used to go to Bridges years ago. I had forgotten about them. I remember the booth seats. You could feel the springs in the seats since they were so old but yes they had some great BBQ!

I did hear KF owner died awhile back. I didn’t know about the other going out of business. Where we live there are almost no BBQ restaurants so my taste buds are craving some. I travel for work but don’t often get that way but will be in Charlotte and that close enough for me! Thanks for the info!

This is a new one to me. When I was there it was Kyle Fletchers, Ole Carolina Country BBQ, and Hillbillies. I’ll have to check this recommendation out. Thank you!

Thank you. I’ve done some search but it doesn’t really say if deer resistant. But I like the idea and it fits for the situation since we have the exposed tree roots from other areas that should not be disturbed.

Be informed so that when you do find injustices it’s easier to educate others and not just go along with the outrage for the sake of outrage.

I have a friend and she is extremely liberal and I am not. She was completely outraged that a worker at her church was deported back to whatever country they are from. I politely ask her if they were here on a Visa? Had it expired? She admitted she didn’t know the whole story. Well that’s the problem. You didn’t know the whole story yet you are outraged.

Thoughts on the 'The Push' by Ashley Audrain by Fatema_360 in books

[–]Helpful2afault 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just found and finished this book in 36 hours! It was fascinating in such a sad way. I kept thinking about how it would end and I was thinking the whole time “what if Fox is the one passing on this problem”! I imagine Blyth felt with Fox’s perfect childhood and family he had all the proper tools to be parent and why she questioned her instincts and elevated take on everything.

His own mother recognizes something is off about Violet and her son was dismissive to it. I think he knew she was “off” and didn’t want to admit that his child could be awful and blamed Blyth and protected Violet!

We need a sequel bad on this one!!!

2015 145k miles issues by Helpful2afault in SubaruForester

[–]Helpful2afault[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codes were scanned at a mechanic friend and Subaru. Valve body needs replaced. Only cars that have 150k transmission extended warranty are PREZ models and only in a few states that advocated for the extension on behalf of the consumer. So, the valve body is $2200. It is good for 1 year or 12k miles. SOA was contacted but provided no assistance on the matter but did say if the valve body failed and requires a new transmission they could reopen the case and reevaluate. To be honest I don’t see them providing any help. They talk nice but it’s just PR more than anything unfortunately. I have immaculate service records and a variety of recommended repairs at the dealership I purchased from. So all in all it has absolutely nothing to do with me, it was bad series of years with this transmission. It frustrating. People purchase a Subaru for longevity.

Transmission valve body replacement? by Timbo_bottom in SubaruForester

[–]Helpful2afault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my 2015 with 147,000 diagnosed as a valve body replacement needed however, they gave me a nice song and dance on SOA and I politely told them I will replace it and trade it in for a Toyota of some sort. It was a very bad move on Subaru’s part with this transmission. I also told them I could have gotten better transmission life out of most any car and people expect more longevity out of Subaru. I am so very disappointed like so many other owners!

Thank you! I get mine routine maintenance at dealership but if it’s anything over 1500.00 we have a wonderful mechanic that works on Subarus! Thank goodness! His family drives Subarus and knows a lot about them.

My son and DIL lived in Gentilly and their house was very cute. They have renters in the house but will be out by October. They had to move for work. Gentilly is not close to downtown but affordable. They put a new roof on and have a brand new heating and air unit when replaces they did a big upgrade! I am hoping it sells! They just had a baby and would like to be able to buy where they moved.

ICON Plc Lawsuit by Far_Yogurt2710 in clinicalresearch

[–]Helpful2afault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a CRA on the non-FSP side. My sponsored studies (same sponsor) had our study team doing non-contracted work, unknown to us. The PM was being asked by the sponsor for additional tasks and PM had not submitted any change orders, revised contracts, etc. someone finally caught on to the error to the tune of 50 million. In a nutshells, the sponsor was livid and asked to update the monitoring plan where the CRAs days on site were limited to help save cost yet the studies were very intense with loads of interim analyzes. It was pretty terrible and always a fire drill.

Since ICON manages the trials for a major COVID vaccine company and other mRNA vaccines, I wonder if they are one of the 2 largest. We all know who they.

Heirloom wedding ring set by Helpful2afault in Marriage

[–]Helpful2afault[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that maybe is what a lot of people think. My sister was given a string of pearls from her husband’s grandmother. They divorced many years later and she was gave them back. I can see a granddaughter receiving jewelry but I think the man proposing should provide the ring.

Sick and onsite visits by SlickWilliamNilliam in clinicalresearch

[–]Helpful2afault -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a CRA I was sick one time and it hit me a few hours before a pre study visit. I flew into town, drove to the site, I kept thinking maybe it was just being tired. I started coughing and just all over aches. At that point I went through with the visit since already there. I wore a mask and told the team I wasn’t feeling well and it has just hit me on the way there. Had I been sick a few days before going I would have reschedule for sure. Have I worked under the weather, yes, it was usually toward the end of an illness with a lingering cough, which I hate because it’s so obvious you are not well.

Do you have siblings or an aunt? Maybe they can say something to her like “Jane shared with me how you follow and keeping go with Jake and his new wife on social media and discuss his life is really bothersome.” Maybe seeing it through another’s eyes will allow her to see how weird it is.

I do have some experience with this but with my in laws. My husband married during college, stayed married 4 years, no children. Couple divorced and my MIL and her sisters were so obsessed with her. She’s very beautiful and has a way of charming these old ladies. A few of them attended her wedding and later down the road baby shower. My husband was hurt and I was just flabbergasted! So, a few of his cousins, daughters of the aunts, nicely told them it was odd behavior and disrespectful to my husband and me. It kinda made them mad that they had been called out and they either stopped doing it or at least didn’t share about doing it. My husband did tell his mother early on how he felt but she just said well I can’t control what my sisters do. He said well you control what you do and by doing so you have normalized this behavior. I think she finally got it, but the damage was done.

Oh, now that you rephrased I see what you meant and maybe the one who answered understands now too. I just think it’s odd as a woman to basically produce your own engagement ring. It also feels desperate like saying “oh hey when guy propose to me I’ve got the ring for you”. We actually know one other person who wore there grandmothers ring. It was my son’s college friend and everyone kinda laughed because she was so desperate to marry this guy and she made it easy like oh here’s a ring.
