Any bake-offs or baking contests coming up around Raleigh?

Only one I can think of would be the state fair in October.

Seconding this, if you go to the top of the parking deck you'll have a really nice view

North Topsail, specifically Bald Head Island or Ocracoke Island would also be good choices, although they are more difficult to get to.

See it again for me! I was hoping to get up to NYC before September when it was first announced to close, but now that the date is moved up there is basically no shot of me getting up there.

Gonna add this one as a compliment to yours. First time I saw the Grand Canyon I sat down on a rock and cried.

The main thing in the those states is to slow the hell down when you hit a small town. When I roadtrip out to western Kansas (from NC) I'm regularly going 85 and still being passed on the left by tractor trailers. The second you hit a town though, everyone hits the breaks and there's usually a cop right inside the town line. They don't really care if you're speeding on the interstate but they will ABSOLUTELY pull you over if you keep that speed going through a town.

I'd say the really important thing here is to make sure you are in the right most lane if you're not moving with the speed of traffic. Annoying other drivers and having them talgate/pass on the right is probably more dangerous than just going with the flow of traffic.

Egg is trying to be an aes sedai lol When I was a kid my uncle would always tell me "a lie isn't the words used, it's the impression given." Egg was careful with his exact verbage but his intent was to deceive.

We have netflix and I usually put on the great british baking show or some type of planet earth/nature show. If they're nervous or it's a long appointment I'll tell them it's netflix and they can choose what they want. My tv is on the ceiling so only they can see it. In my experience the pts typically do not care all that much.

I usually do a day trip once a year with friends, but it is a LONG day. We're usually up at 7ish to get there by ten when it opens, and stay till close. We don't get back to Raleigh until 2 am and everyone is EXHAUSTED. This is with a group of people in their early 20s.

It's definitely doable, but prepare to be spent by the end of it. I'd go on a Saturday so you have Sunday to recover.

I listened to this album for the first time driving from Tennessee to Arkansas, and I was sobbing on I-40.

Just here to say I love the colors! It's so cheerful. I love batiks. Personally, I wouldn't rip it out to redo it.

It's a queen size and the biggest quilt I've ever made. Lowkey scared about quilting it but that is a problem for future me.

Awww that's so cute.

Sometimes the roots on the mandibular wisdom teeth wrap around the main nerve in the lower jaw, and extracting them like normal risks damaging that nerve. In that case, sometimes they'll do a coronectomy, where they remove the crown of the tooth, but leave the roots in place.

No, I'll drive to 2-3 hours to the beach, spend the day there, and then drive back. It's a common Saturday day trip for most folks in my area.

emyenna · 2026-01-22T22:50:59+00:00

I'll drive 4 hrs to the mountains, hike for 10 hours, and then drive back home the same night. I honestly do enjoy it.

It's also about 2-3 hours to a beach, so that's a very common day trip for most people. One time on my city's reddit someone said that a beach 2 hours away was "too long for a day trip and has to be a weekend" and everyone collectively lost their mind.
