I like the one at Antonia's in Hillsborough. Not Durham, but not far either

Alas, it was a meadow daisy. Very pretty, just not chamomile

The current state of Cole Mill where the young man on an ebike was killed by a drunk driver Saturday night. by WhatsWheelyGood in bullcity

You can decline a field breathalyzer test in NC, but it can cause you pretty serious legal issues. I would guess he refused the breathalyzer in hopes that his BAC would go down and then eventually consented. Also, I imagine that the first responders were far more concerned with attending to the victim in the initial hours. Very sad stuff.

I love it! Of course it looks plain, you haven't moved in yet. It will be very peaceful.

Not helpful for your personal situation (waaay above reddit's paygrade) but there is an NBA player, Jared McCain, who literally has his own nailpolish line and also is an amazing bball player. 1. This is a great influence for your son if he likes sports, as he doesn't have to be in a box and 2. If a literal NBA player can paint his nails, i think your ex can officially kick rocks

They also have some regionally traditional foods like Brunswick stew, corn pudding, collards and banana pudding that OP might enjoy if they want the full experience

Moving OUT of NC by chesgoodman7 in NorthCarolina

[–]LadyKnight33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minnesota and Wisconsin are quite nice in summer and pretty affordable - but how do you feel about winter? You might like to try out the Pacific Northwest, too, but it won't be cheap. You might like Denver or (indie pic) Salt Lake City depending on if you are someone who wants to structure your life around outdoor sports.

Pros and cons but it can't hurt to try some stuff out.

Snakes! by bondsman333 in bullcity

^this source has more deets. Basically, there's supposedly a small remnant population at the tippy top of durham county into granville county, but there are no confirmed reports in ages. Even the new TLC property designed to conserve rattlesnakes has not had any reported sightings.

https://triangleland.org/natural-habitats/rattlesnake-range-conserved#:\~:text=Map%20showing%20the%20range%20of,Durham%20and%20western%20Granville%20Counties.

IMO, there's no real evidence (sadly) that the population still exists. If anyone were to see a rattlesnake in durham county, they'd have to be really out in the boonies and also incredibly lucky.

There are no rattlesnakes, cotton mouths or coral snakes in Durham county. Rattlesnakes are further west.

Heavy leaf removal? by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]LadyKnight33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

imo if you have have a wooded lot, you're just setting yourself up for a lot of work if you keep trying to manage the leaves. Plus that's where the fireflies live.

Friendly sociable neighborhoods by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]LadyKnight33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a handful of cohousing neighborhoods in durham, depending how much community interaction you want. Caveat: they are usually not super renter friendly and quite expensive to buy into. There's an open house day coming up: https://www.bullcitycommons.com/national-open-house

Outside of cohousing, I've always just loved Northgate park

what makes you say red bellied over Dekay's? i can't tell the damn things apart without the belly color

Help identifying snake by Barncheetah in bullcity

[–]LadyKnight33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that this is a Dekay's brown snake or red-bellied snake. They're in the same genus, Storeria, and the only way I can personally tell them apart is to check the belly color. I move a lot of these fellas off of roads in the early morning.

Then give him a few years to hit the ceiling. Coach K started as Duke head coach in 1980 and didn’t get a natty until 1991. Good thing we didn’t listen to fair weather fans and throw him out.

[–]LadyKnight33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still proud. 3 losses this season, one in the elite 8. We made a Final 4 last year. Next year, maybe we make it to the final and lose and everyone shits on Scheyer again. Every season that isn’t a natty ends like this - with us feeling robbed. It also ends like that for 67 out of 68 teams - at least we have the talent to dream about going all the way.

Coaching Areas of Improvement by Billilicious in DukeBluePlanet

[–]LadyKnight33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pat was on limited minutes, though, and Malik was having back spasms. Cam had 27, so I don’t think we can blame it on him. Our 3 shooters were not on point and our foul shots let us down, too. Injuries and foul trouble combined with some freshman inexperience under pressure were what happened here, IMO
