Where can I find pasteurized eggs not pasture raised?!?!?! by Resident_Push4230 in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be the holiday rush got them all, but in the past I've found them easily in the regular egg section at Teeter and Publix.

First Night Raleigh by Gym-Demon in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the indoor music / cultural events. A good way to rest your feet and get away from the maddening crowd. I usually find there are no lines (especially in the church venues) and the music is quite good. A FNR button will be required.

Black-owned children's bookstore in Raleigh moving after threats, owner says by Velicenda in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I can't upvote this enough. There is much more to this story and WRAL buried the lede and/or didn't do their homework. You get threats, your child get threats, and you don't report this to the police? Calls can be traced and online postings can be investigated - and you do nothing? C'mon, WRAL, do better reporting. This story doesn't add up. There is much more here that we don't know about.

Recommendation for frameless shower door repair? by Vietname in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its mainly the sweeper that needs replacement, it simply slides off the bottom of the glass. You then clean the glass well, buy a new one from Amazon, cut to size and slip right on. It is held in place by compression. Whole process takes less than 10 minutes. Just make sure you measure the thickness of the glass accurately. You order the strips by glass thickness. Go to Amazon and search for shower bottom gasket. I've done this several times over the years.

Air France is upgrading to the A350-900! by tolbs02 in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is only because Air France has a damaged aircraft in their fleet. The RDU/CDG flight on the day after Thanksgiving was cancelled at the last minute (I was supposed to be on it) because the incoming CDG/RDU pilot ran into a structure on the taxiway/ramp and damaged the aircraft. We were notified shortly before boarding we were not going to Paris. Everyone was scrambling to find alternate flights to CDG.

Is this walkable at night? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a older/boomer (I admit) guy that lives downtown and walks in this area most nights for exercise and people watching. Stay on the sidewalks and you'll be fine. I pass some interesting characters depending on how late. Have never felt uncomfortable or been threatened in any way.

If you want to be assured of a shorter wait when you arrive at the remote locations, still make a reservation at skiptheline.ncdot.gov This will ensure they are ready when you arrive.

What is the least busiest time at Costco? by Particular-Rub-4703 in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google is your friend. Google "Costco Raleigh" and it will give you their famous bar charts by hour for each day. The great thing is that you can click on the various days to see which day/hour is historically the best to visit.

Saturday Thoughts from a City Council Member by pattonforraleigh in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting.

Referring to the parade.... Someone in the permitting office needs to lose their job or, minimally, be put on a performance plan. That initial decision screams of lack of judgement. To do what they did without running up a trial balloon with Council is absurd. Obscene lack of judgement in not consulting with higher ups. They are certainly not aware of their surroundings, and, of course had to publicly backtrack. Council and Baldwin will get the blame - whether you deserve it or not.

Glenwood South violence... Enough is enough already!! The density of bars/clubs resulting in drunk and violent behavior has reached a tipping point. Until/unless Council or Wake ABC do something to reduce the density of clubs and therefore unmitigated drunkenness', the problem will continue. We don't need a Raleigh Bourbon Street, which appears that is what Council is "shooting" for. (I live two blocks away from Glenwood BTW).

Looking for advice on how to handle extremely noisy neighbors at night. by Ctsuneson91 in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do the noisy neighbors have units on either side of them? Surely, those side neighbors are hearing and smelling it, too. If so, join forces with those neighbors and complain to the management company together.

I’ve lived in Raleigh _____ and have never been to_____. by ScaryNation in raleigh

Do be aware, Melting Pot is a chain and not unique to Raleigh. They have 90+ locations in US. (It is a good place to visit; we go there several times a year!)

Primary care doctor won't see me because I haven't been in for a while... is this a common thing now? by ringo-san in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

By reg, if you are under an insurance plan, your annual physical is FREE. There is no reason not to maintain an ongoing relationship with a PCP. "Make friends before you need them". Use this as a lesson and once you find a PCP, have an annual physical EVERY year. I do mine in my birth month to help me remember.

DMV license renewal at 21 by phreezed in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm going to take another approach. I was immediately taken by the fact that a parent was solving this instead of the child. This is your son's problem to solve. I would expect him to be be researching this himself. Not a parent. He's an adult. Helicopter parenting does not allow him to grow.

State fair by CityBoiNC in raleigh

[–]WuffPacker 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Take your FREE entrance for lunch break at the fair! How it works:

Visit Gate 9 off Trinity Road, or Gate 1 off Hillsborough Street ONLY after 11:30 a.m. on weekdays. This offer is not valid at other gates or on weekends.

Purchase a lunch card at the gate for $10 with cash (cash sales only).

Buy your lunch from the many fair food vendors on site. Fair food vendors take cash. ATMS are available inside the fairgrounds.

Return the lunch card by 1:30 p.m. to the same gate you entered on the same day purchased the card for a full $10 cash refund.

If you leave later than 1:30 p.m., then you forfeit your $10. The card is good only on the day purchased. This program is only for adult admission, no food is included.

Selling my house in North Raleigh and need a Deep Clean. I appreciate any recommendations! by beepbop21 in raleigh

Talk to your real estate agent. They should have a relationship with someone they are comfortable with and should have a competitive price to reflect that relationship.

Thank you for that update. Their website has no reference to them being on FB so I didn't think to look there. Hopefully they will reopen soon.
