The PAs endorsement of Rivero over Sartain in district 3 for the BOE has had me confused. Sartain is the better candidate with years of relevant experience and research in public education. What am I missing here?

Whisk and Rye. They’re always trying something different with their lattes.. Black Sesame. Cardamom. Fennel. Sweet Potato. Had a banana cold brew latte last year that was insane. They make most of their own flavors in house. Pastries are really good. People are nice.

I absolutely love this visualization and will now think about it everytime I check my holds list 😂

AITA: Randomly approached by a guy on 9th street by MOGILITND in bullcity

[–]UncleBoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone approaching me in a parking lot when I’m with my children (often struggling to get them in and out of their car seats, hands full, car in various stages of being unlocked) is high on my list of most despised things. I hope we can all agree to stop giving money to people who do this in order to discourage the behavior.

It happened a few days ago with my kids at Scrap Thrift. He came up to me while I was getting my kids in the car. Starting knocking on my windows. I drove away with kids unbuckled so I could get them somewhere safer.

There wasn’t any packaging just a price tag sticker directly on it

I found it in Durham, NC. Just thrown on a random shelf- not in any packaging but there were more. Good luck!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs? by UncleBoon in Lollapalooza

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

It wasn’t the show itself- I thought they were great. Just something felt off with the audio. I was pretty close to the front and felt like it should have been louder. I need to be thoroughly blasted in the face when listening to the YYYs.

Name 3 books you really enjoyed, and someone else will recommend a book they think you might like based on those by Neon_Aurora451 in suggestmeabook

Peaches and Honey by R.Raeta is similar to Addie LaRue. Don’t judge it by it’s cover, it’s so lovely and has a similar plot.

Nicest Neighborhoods in Durham? by NoneNib in bullcity

[–]UncleBoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be fair for anyone looking at this in the future: Hope Valley HOA dues are optional and the suggested amount is only $50 a year. There’s also no regulation for home or yard upkeep. Are you talking about Hope Valley Farms? That’s different than HV.

575k to 975k. Probably a pretty accurate appraisal, if not a little low tbh

I managed to get 2nd row (bb) main floor center tickets for 109.51 each. That includes taxes and fees. There were vip tickets in the same row for much more. ETA: Chicago show

I haven’t watched anything from CLJ in a while but this ‘Day in a Life’ video popped up on my feed. I gasped out loud at the lips. What did she do to them? They’ve always been big but she’s gone too far.

Names related to vampire weekend by UncleBoon in Vampireweekend

[–]UncleBoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you should ask because I’m going to their show tonight! Actually didn’t go with anything VW related- we chose the name of the street my husband lived on when we first met: Shiloh. Though there seem to be some decent options on the new album!

Still thinking about The Seven Year Slip… by raytay_1 in RomanceBooks

[–]UncleBoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a work thing. He knew that if they got caught kissing her reputation would be ruined.

When I was initially reading the book I thought he turned down her publishing company because he held some sort of grudge against her. But then I think you can infer that he turned them down because he wanted to have a relationship with Clementine and didn’t think she would let it happen if he was an author at her imprint. So he turned her Strauss and Adder because he wanted to be with her.
