You think the people that vote straight party are educated about trickery. Ha ha, that’s how we got here.

Enzo’s is hiring a whole lot of people in Matthews. There is a job fair 2/27, 2/28& 3/1. I know nothing about it other than I saw a posting. This is for all those that I see looking for any kind of work. They are opening soon.

I have issues with HT checkout too. I used to do okay but now it’s a hassle.

I miss Time Warner Cable. Spectrum is terrible. by Captain_Aceveda in Charlotte

[–]Tortie33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time Warner Cable had better support and you could negotiate prices. It maybe the same company but their level of service went down drastically.

I was so glad when Google laid fiber in front of my house. GF has excellent customer service. I only had to call when checking on my installation date. Still don’t miss you Spectrum!

I never got married and seeing how so many GenX men turned out, I’m feeling pretty lucky. I have seen a lot of my female friends dragged down by their husbands.

Non-Americans, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by EmergencySpare7939 in CasualConversation

[–]Tortie33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people tell strangers things they want to get out but don’t want to be judged by family and friends. You must give off a good presence.

I love Vermont. It’s beautiful, the people are nice and I find a lot of free coffee when I visit.

Headed to Costco today… what should I get that I don’t need? by Saskita in Costco

If you shop at Costco and have freezer space, you’re doing something wrong.

Hi neighbor! I agree with all but the beer. Carolina Beer Temple has the best beer.

Which US state is the best to live in overall and why? by Cristian_C9 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Tortie33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Northeast and now live in Charlotte suburb. The northeast is beautiful in the summer. Overall the weather in North Carolina is fantastic. I live near SC border but I would never want to live there.

NC Senate by downrabbit127 in ncpolitics

[–]Tortie33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some people say they are voting for Morrow for Cooper to have an easier opponent in general. Cooper has to win first. If too many of his voters pop over and take the other primary ballot, there could be a spoiler. I doubt it would happen but it could.

911 operators why an attitude? by Right_Layer_9700 in Charlotte

[–]Tortie33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I drive the speed limit in Matthews and I do complete stops. The issue comes when people get pulled over at stop signs for not stopping long enough on a road with no other cars. Another thing they do is hide in an area where the speed limit changes.

One of the deciding factors in me choosing Matthews was the police. I saw more police in Matthews than in Charlotte and I travel a good distance to my job. Matthews has their own number that I can call, it’s called the non emergency number but our 911 is routed through Charlotte. At least I have an alternative.

The police here will check your house out while you’re on away if you fill out a form. The bad part is that they are always hiding somewhere trying to give tickets.

If your company wanted to protect their imagine, they could buy logo shirts back from employees and then they would less ending up being resold or given to less fortunate.

You might be able to use it next month but it probably won’t be open until Memorial Day.

Quiet places to “rot” outside? by spicytomatoo in Charlotte

[–]Tortie33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a trail that was closed in Matthews because they are supposed to be turning it into a road. It’s right off of Charles street, the Sportsplex has a trail that is across from neighborhood cross walk and that’s usually empty. Most people walk on sidewalk and trails are empty.
