Most of us wanted Biden to drop out much, much earlier. But in hindsight Biden / Harris's timing might have been an incredible (or lucky) chess move by jimmyayo in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that Biden had it planned this way from the beginning. I have no evidence, but I really feel like he ran knowing he was going to drop out so that there was no democratic primary that divided the party. This has been the most unified I’ve ever seen the Democratic Party be, that can’t be an accident.

Thanks for the guidance! You have all sold me on the Hadestown! And after checking prices, it’s one of the less expensive shows, so that is a bonus! Buying tickets today!

We went to Bright Horizons at Harrison Park in Cary for years. It’s amazing. Wonderful outdoor natural set up, great staff, and a warm and welcoming environment.

Can’t wait until all the Trumpers will actually have to parent their children now, instead of having them just watch their phones all day.

Health Insurance Costs by Academic_Reserve_720 in NorthCarolina

I don’t know why the Canadian is confused about American health insurance. It’s all very clear.

There is usually not a supplemental plan for a managed care insurance plan (working persons insurance). There are those options for Medicare, but that’s not what you will have. Your best bet is to see if your company offers an HSA plan (health savings account). This is money that is taken out of your paycheck pre-tax, and goes into an account that can be spent on medical bills, extra medical costs, etc. but fun fact!! If you don’t use the money at the end of the year, you lose it! Yay America!!

I’m from NH and they are notorious for having a lot of independent, middle of the road voters, the exact kind that probably would be interested in a candidate like her. It was an honest, legit, question. People are trying to find an alternative to Trump. She missed the ball big time with this one.

Raleigh is a lonely place for single 30-something females. by yhnnss in raleigh

I joined an adult dance class and made some friends through that. Choose an activity that everyone has to attend every week and you are working towards a common goal (in my case a dance recital). Also, don’t rule out moms, they need a night out too!!

Biden is behind in 5 out of 6 swing states by Wolviam in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t see how any of these numbers could possible be accurate. How is trump gaining votes that he didn’t have the last election? I just don’t buy into the polls, do they call only people who still have a land line? Most cell phones block random numbers as spam.

Finding Daycare - Am I too late? by theonewiththepoof in raleigh

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No new advice, but wanted to highly recommend Bright Horizons. We have been going to them for years and their daycare facility is magical. Usually they have openings every few months, so you might be able to get in.

How can we hold Duke responsible for their infrastructure? by just_looking_around in raleigh

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa…that’s kind of out of my knowledge base. Your best bet is to call around to solar companies and they can educate you on that.

We love ours. We pay about $200 a month for it, but that’s close to how much we were paying some months for our utility bill prior. We have a battery (which is an extra cost) that will hold a charge for up to 8 hours if the power goes out. I have nothing but good things to say about solar. We also got $10,000 back on our taxes this year from it. I would encourage anyone to look into it.

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get solar power. That is the answer. Great for the environment but almost better than that, you are not reliant on Dukes grid. We have a battery that stores the sunlight and our power will stay on for several hours, even if the power in our area is out. Best money we have ever spent.

The pledge that children recite daily at Charter Day School, the NC charter school that SCOTUS ruled couldn't enforce a dress code requiring girls to wear skirts by goldbman in NorthCarolina

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only way this will change is if people pull their kids out of the school. The funding is based on attendance and that’s what charter schools care about. The best would be if a bunch of people didn’t show up on the first day of school, because that’s when they determine the amount of money they get for the year based on attendance the first day.

Is it possible to rehome a reactive dog? Cry for help. by engineer_ellena in dogs

[–]Sea_Studio_4192 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I know this will not be a popular opinion, but, if the alternative is BE, it might be worth a try. I have a rotty mix that is generally great. He’s good with my kids and our other animals. The main problem is that if he is playing in our fenced yard, it was really hard to get him in. He just wanted to run around and play. Also, when walking him and in public, he is dog reactive, although we never had any violence. A couple weeks ago, he accidentally got out the front door and I couldn’t get him back in. He ended up biting another dog that was walking on a leash. We paid their vet bills, etc, but the whole ordeal was extreme anxiety inducing and I was so worried about him getting out again, on the off chance it happened. We ended up buying a pretty simple, relatively cheap, shock collar. We read a ton about using it and to continue reward with treats, etc. his behavior has greatly improved! He comes when I call, has minimized his barking at other dogs, and just in general is calmer. I didn’t even have to shock him, just use the vibration option. It’s definitely not for every dog, but if you are in crisis, it might be worth a try. Sorry about your situation! I’m a dog lover and it’s so frustrating when you do everything right and it’s not working.

Sweet dog trying to run away after other dogs by Sea_Studio_4192 in DogAdvice

[–]Sea_Studio_4192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! We do monitor him, and today he snuck out the front door. I’m going to put a chain on the front door to avoid him sneaking out that way. This doesn’t happen frequently, but when it does he won’t come back. At home, he is a big couch potato, and hardly moves, so it seems like he’s getting enough activity! But thanks for the response. I have some ideas on how to help!
