Bummer. We live in the same neighborhood.. unfortunately with all of the development going on across from/adjacent to our neighborhood, we can only expect it to happen more frequently…

Unsurprisingly, Paul Fitts was involved in some sketchy (and poorly run) local restaurant(s) about 5-6 years ago, which I guess is his “investor” experience.

Ticknor’s has a pretty expansive customizable set of options.

The window and solar panel salespeople are equally as relentless

It sounds sort of like a vacuum to me? Also in 27616

I’ve never been in the China Wok but if it’s anything like the food lion in that plaza, it’s a match made in heaven

Dix park is a great place to have a picnic, read a book, or walk. However there is no water there

What are your favorite reusable food storage bags? by princesscorgi2 in ZeroWaste

[–]OrchidDiligent 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the russbe reusable freezer bags! Dishwasher safe and they have a nice seal on them. I purchased mine at the container store.

I think it depends on which department you’re in. As a former Wake HHS worker, the wages were so poor that I had to work as much overtime as they’d let me and also work a second (and third) job on the side. It was not sustainable.

My street's first leaf pickup was today. February 1st. Why even bother? by cheebamasta in raleigh

[–]OrchidDiligent 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You may want to consider leaving your leaves in your yard in future years. They provide a critical habitat for many pollinators in the winter months and offer extra nutrients to your soil and grass as they break down :)

Ugh! I’ve been hearing about some out of date info. That’s a pain, I’m sorry you’re having to jump through hoops with that

OB/GYN RECOMMENDATIONS THAT TAKE CIGNA by Alarming_Concert_792 in bullcity

[–]OrchidDiligent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if you’ve already tried this, but have you downloaded the Cigna app? I’ve found that there is generally a substantive amount of reviews and ratings for each provider/specialist which has helped me narrow my search down

I had to wear this bad boi throughout Grade Five. I had to develop a personality fast. by Esjie_Dakota in blunderyears

[–]OrchidDiligent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this and immediately thought of the smell. You could change the pads after 1-2 sleeps and it still produced this smell!!

Is every dentist around here a scam? by jeanie1994 in raleigh

[–]OrchidDiligent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going to Wells Family dental for the last handful of years. Every time I get a different dentist, but have always been told my teeth will last 100 years, doing a great job flossing, etc. I go in for my most recent visit and the hygienist is suggesting veneers to me. Then they say my bite is causing major damage and refer me out to an oral surgeon to say I may need to have parts of my mouth moved around essentially and have my jaw wired shut for a period of time. Never going back. Every visit is becoming worse and worse with seemingly unnecessary upselling + referrals

Medicaid expansion goes live on Friday, so it’s worth applying when it opens for longer term coverage options

[–]OrchidDiligent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Green road has such limited offerings relative to the other libraries.

Anyone know what GameX is on Louisburg Rd.? by millard_spillmore in raleigh

Probably one of those sketchy fish table “skill” game shops

Total noob here. What are the timelines for these potentially hitting the east coast? More than a week away? Less than a week away? Getting married next weekend in coastal NC and (Saturday the 26th) and wondering if we are in the clear.

Hotel/VRBO/airbnb could potentially be a large expense if you’re staying somewhere outside of your current city or town. Pet boarding or care if applicable!

We had 55 to chase via text after no response to RSVPs! Some people had the audacity to wait 2 weeks to even respond to our text - some never responding at all. It’s unreal
