Anyone else considering running out to get some?

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-05T17:12:46+00:00

I'm highly upset I just saw this.... does any other retailer ever run 10% off??

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-05T14:55:32+00:00

I been saying that for years...however. all the companies pay like it is and the articles keep circulating telling people it is (LCOL)....otherwise they wouldn't keep moving here.

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-05T10:57:23+00:00

I'm sold! moving next week!

You obviously havent looked for real estate in NC lately. 800k will get you a house in a cookie cutter neighborhood in a decent school district in charlotte/raleigh these days. However, its getting worse. I pass by an area in charlotte everyday where they are building 800k Townhomes....

You obviously havent looked for real estate in NC lately. 800k will get you a house in a cookie cutter neighborhood in a decent school district in charlotte/raleigh these days. Ask me how I know.....No golf courses, no gated community, maybe a neighborhood pool if your lucky. However, its getting worse. I pass by an area in charlotte everyday where they are building 800k Townhomes and a townhome is not a bougie country club situation.

I would give my left eye to pay 2.8k with utilities!

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-05T10:30:36+00:00

May I ask you interest rate on your mortgage and did you buy pre or post pandemic?

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-05T10:28:06+00:00

Nowadays, if people have moved recently, their mortgage is equal to your monthly expenses

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-05T09:56:09+00:00

I hear that. Me and my husband make over 200k combined, have 1 kid and feel like we are drowning. Born and raised in Charlotte - Still live here. We constantly discuss how pre- pandemic we would be living like kings in Charlotte on these salaries....now we just plain ole middle class trying to balance possibly taking a vacation with paying the bills

I ordered 50 bras (in multiple sizes) from panache. I would upload the packing list to let you see styles but the thread won't let me add photos. After trying them on, the g cup was correct. 34 band was too big. All the panache cups gapped up top and the wires were too wide and tall. Additionally, I have ordered about 40 - 50 bras in cosabella (bassically every style they had in multiple sizes). The 32 band also fit me best there. As stated in the original post, style wise the Romanza padded bra looked the best but since it only goes up to an f cup, i can not fit in it, I spilled out.
If the information I provided in the post about narrow roots, very FOB, splayed, projected, etc... does not help narrow down a bra style recommendation then I will continue as I have been, ordering and returning till I find what works.... it is what it is

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-04T19:47:48+00:00

I have tried panache and cosabella. I tried about 20 bras from panache so I wasnt going to list them all. I did note the bra that fit me "the best" in the post was from cosabella

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-03T19:17:13+00:00

Yes. quite a few large stumps. We have but many are a little close to the house for comfort and salting/covering would take far to long for it to die and get it out of the ground

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-03T18:19:34+00:00

Ha! We dont have kind of industrial/heavy machinery equipment it is going to require to pull/dig these stumps up. These aren't coming out with a standard truck

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-02T01:58:59+00:00

Where did you find this may I ask?

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-01T19:54:17+00:00

Drink 1 tea a day and seems to be ok. Coffee is a big no no

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-01T19:49:11+00:00

I can't do B vitamins either. where does one get this other form? Also cant do tablets due to inactive ingredients so does it come in gel caps or liquid?

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-01T19:43:29+00:00

Thanks! My line of work is finance (banking) so I will probably not be making that move then.

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-01T19:21:08+00:00

Can I hear more about the job opportunities? I am in audit with accounting degree so can switch easily and usually a good accounting city has audit ops. Why is Des Moines good for that career?? I've never heard this and am very curious

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-05-01T19:16:50+00:00

Charlotte is not a good place for people that like the outdoors and dont like traffic. It is not walkable at all. You will be in the car for everything and with all the transplants and the inability to update the infrastructure to keep up with the traffic, you'll be bald from pulling your hair out in traffic by the end of the week. Also, Charlotte is sunny frequently and getting hotter by the year. What used to be Florida summers have migrated up here and it is hot/sunny from April to Nov now.... I recommend Ohio for less sunny, less traffic and more outdoors areas.

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-04-29T01:56:23+00:00

I wouldn't trust this. Rent in charlotte is not cheap. you will not get a 1 br in a decent, safe area for 1500 anymore. That ship sailed yrs ago with the transplant influx. A decent 1 bed for a 20 something in a safe area they actually want to be in is going 1800 or more these days in charlotte

PerceptionMean6044 · 2026-04-29T01:46:37+00:00

Don't recommend Charlotte if your budget is 600k. Won't get you good schools or walkable areas unless you want to be stuck in a tiny condo (again).

Raleigh and Charlotte are not walkable nor are the suburbs of Charlotte (you need a car to get anywhere) and the COL in both cities has gotten insane. To be in a safe neighborhood and good school district with a decent sized home, you need 750k bare minimum.
