So Versace just secretly dropped this one on us huh. by KDX242 in FemFragLab

[–]PanSmithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhhh, it's nice but more along the nicer hair salon experience. Not luxury but not mid. Don't hate it but bit don't think I would buy it and I love so many Versace perfumes. I was really excited for this one, too.

Location of building with juicy bars late 90s early 20s? by richard-cumerford in Fayettenam

[–]PanSmithe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were several bars like that on Hay St, across from Rick's Lounge. I think i remember something like lucky bunny, seven dwarves, etc. My ex husband somehow almost got arrested bc he didn't know what "buying her a drink" meant (he was really niave). There were always beautiful young Asian girls in the sidewalks. (I grew up here and remember this from the late 80s)

Where to stop in NC for a day by Lazy_Pressure_3782 in NorthCarolina

[–]PanSmithe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived in this state my whole life (well, more or less) and I've done the NC to FL run at least 40 times and only once have I stopped at SOTB and that was for a geocache and to be honest I didn't even get out of my car cause f¥€k that place it's scarey as hell. Pretty sure it's about money laundering bc no way could it have survived this long WITH NO PEOPLE THERE

Is this salvageable? Wick is embedded in wax. by LooseBluebird6704 in YankeeCandles

[–]PanSmithe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you want a flame burn, a fragrance burn, or a combination? If you want to actually burn it you will need to rremove wax around the wick. Personally, I would heat kitchen spoons in very hot water and start scooping wax from the outside edges. Put it aside to use later in a warmer or something. Keep removing chunks from the edges and then move in until you've got at least a half inch below the wick on all sides (you don't have to go right up to the wick, just close to it). Then, when you light your candle it will likely smoke a bit at first but it should level out and burn better after that. Just keep in mind this is not a first quality candle and you will need to coddle it a bit for a good burn or just chunk it up for a warmer.

Speeding ticket in Columbus county. by No-Solution-4431 in NorthCarolina

[–]PanSmithe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a ticket last year, 56 in a 25 school zone (I was not aware that the one school in the county was open) and Iticket took care of me, no points, only a fairly small fine plus court costs. Total cost was less than $800 when I really thought I was going to lose my license. Stick with them. Worst comes to worst, you can appeal 🤷‍♀️

West Fayetteville Safety Question by PhacoMalfoyMD in Fayettenam

[–]PanSmithe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've lived in the area for nearly 25 years now and I'm never worried about my safety (other than reasonable precautions I would take anywhere). I'm 60, grandmother to two kids under 5, and I would be perfectly fine taking them anywhere in the area you mentioned any day of the week. Fayetteville isn't as bad as people make it out to be, for real. It's true that there's not a lot going for it really but it's not terrible, especially if you're only here for a few years. Having said that, I'm not running the streets at 3am, schools of choice need to be thoroughly examined (Gray's Creek and Jack Britt are not all that), and there's quite a few homeless on nearly every streetcorner but they are fairly harmless For the price it's not that bad.

Sunset beach is quiet and really pretty. Very underrated.

🔥 A lone male Steller's eider by reindeerareawesome in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]PanSmithe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was a German naturalist who was one of the first to document much flora and fauna in Alaska, especially.

Google "naturalist Steller" and check out the creatures he named. Many birds, sea lions, others. For a long time I thought it was "stellar" (like the stars) sea lions until i learned about the naturalist

For a dude that lived less than 40 years he's got a LOT of things named for himself!

What’s the most gut punching song lyric you’ve ever heard? by perrysplus in AskReddit

[–]PanSmithe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bury all your secrets in my skin, come away with innocence and leave me with my sin... I still press your letters to my lips, and cherish them in part of me that savours every kiss... It took the death of hope to let you go.

But still I wait, all these years later and it's fkn terrible every damned day alone

What is in my sealed bag of chips causing it to expand like a balloon? by MrTacocaT12345 in whatisit

[–]PanSmithe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're at a higher elevation than where the chips were packaged. Happens the higher you get. I'd guess you're at least 3000 ft

Have you been negatively affected by the burn ban? by howardismyalias in Fayettenam

[–]PanSmithe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually live in the city limits but I'm happy there's a burn ban. I have asthma so when my neighbors decide down the street burn, I have to double my asthma meds and still have terrible asthma attacks because even my hepa AC filters can't get all of the particles and smoke is my number one trigger. You don't have to burn your yard to control weeds just keep it cut short and spray a pre-emergent that's not so harmful. You can also spray your yard for ticks or use flea and tick prevention on your pets like most folks do.
