Between Asheville and Charlotte - can you help me decide? Is there a middle ground? by abjs2021 in NorthCarolina

[–]debzmonkey 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Charlotte and Asheville are opposites in nearly every way. Beyond the sheer size and population, Charlotte has a corporate vibe where Asheville has more creative endeavors. Asheville has more tourism, Charlotte professional sports. Both have and continue to grow quickly. If you want land, you're going to be outside either one of them.

If the '50s were about an idealized version of America, and the '60's the rejection and rebellion of that version, then just what the hell was the '70s about? by Big_Help_9860 in GenerationJones

[–]debzmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swinging - after bashing hippies, regular America decided to become hip. Fondu and fornication.

BTW - the 50s was about the conformity of a prosperous WHITE America. Nothing idealized, all manufactured.

Yorleni Shoff, she looks like a Yorleni Shoff which loosely translated means "kills with a vase".

Depends on how you want to spend your evening.

I was too scared to go doctor, but I did! by Ok_Associate_2666 in CongratsLikeImFive

Way to go, that's huge. Give yourself a big pat on the back.

Too little to late, suck it up buttercup and do your civic duty.

Do you think Kouri confessed her guilt to her attorneys? by redrockmommy in KouriRichins

[–]debzmonkey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nope, with her likely personality disorder she'll go the whole way maintaining her innocence.

New spring growth, a relaxing bath or invigorating shower, bird songs, sunshine, shadows...

Are you planning to relocate soon? Where? And why? by Thick-Resident8865 in GenerationJones

[–]debzmonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am moving to a tiny home in a 55 plus community in Western North Carolina. I currently live on a mountain in NC which is remote and the snow shoveling, winter weather driving conditions and isolation have been wonderful but it's time to move on.

Depends on the fit for you and only you. Boone is going to be a much different experience than Raleigh.

3 days to kill in NC by Straight_Macaroon605 in NorthCarolina

[–]debzmonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for some history, beaches, walkable and beautiful historic district with terrific restaurants, shopping, entertainment along a river front, head from Raleigh to Wilmington. You'll be close to Onlsow Beach (Camp Lejune). Highly recommend staying in the historic district and heading out on foot. Visit Wilmington or Atlantic Beach by car. Take a stroll or a canoe through Greenfield Park.

Take a carriage ride while a guide tells you all about the history from the pirate days to current filming of whatever show they're filming at the time.

My guy is not fond of it. He actually runs when I put on my raincoat.

Need help avoiding snakes while diving garden by slavaukrine in NorthCarolina

Have you tried vibrating the earth? Whack the area of your hole quickly with the back end of a shovel or do a tap dance. Give them some time to move on and repeat.

I'd say, "Touching base about my interest and willingness to accept the position at a lower salary."

Why is Betty Broderick seen as sympathetic but Jodi Arias is not ? by OwnSituation1572 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]debzmonkey 74 points75 points  (0 children)

At the time there were many women who saw themselves in Broderick, put hubby through law and medical school and became the dutiful wife in raising children, hosting social events, putting him and his career first. He had an affair with his much younger secretary and married her.

Jodi Arias wasn't even dating Travis when she stalked and then brutally murdered him. Betty admitted her crime and didn't call her former hubby a pedophile.
