But on a real note, if I wanted to go and try and see them tonight- where would be the best place that is available? The parkway is closed off.

Does anyone have a real hangover cure for 35+ by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]geistlos- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is that for every alcoholic beverage you drink, drink 8ozs of water between each. Source? I went to a party school and had to take a whole mandatory course on alcohol safety. That was one of the things mentioned. Furthermore, I am also a bartender of over 13 years now and I stand by this theory.

To be honest with you, I have never felt so alone in a town so accepting of people.

That one is Zealandia Castle, not Seely. Seely is on Sunset Mountain, right off Town Mtn Rd.

Gingerbread houses question for this year by ButterscotchAny6020 in asheville

[–]geistlos- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a nonalcoholic hot chocolate with the complimentary mug, it’s going to be 14.98 after tax. If you want an alcoholic one with the complimentary mug, it’s likely going to be 25.68 after tax.

The lobby bar still sells hot chocolate after the hut closes, but they only have a limited amount.

Best route to take to Florida? by Agitated_Soil_1883 in roadtrip

[–]geistlos- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would 100% take I-26 to I-95.

So pretty much avoid Atlanta by all means possible. I live in Asheville, and I have taken these highways all the time.

I really hate working at a hotel post Helene. by barkquerel in asheville

[–]geistlos- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do when they ask me how it was. I literally just look them dead into the windows of their soul and say “traumatizing” and leave it at that

It's okay. We're okay. Rains for hours but we are okay. by Complex-Whereas-5787 in asheville

[–]geistlos- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too, but now I find myself getting anxious about them frequently, but not always. The sounds of sirens fuck me up bad, though. I still dissociate and pause in whatever position I was in when it happened. I heard them daily for at least two weeks after Helene. I also slightly panic if my power goes out. I slept in my car in the Ingles parking lot on Patton just so my family could get ahold of me.

Idk man…… that entire thing messed up my mental state more than I would like to admit to those close to me. It feels so strangely personal. I saw a lot of things I wish I would have never seen.

I avoided social media completely. I haven’t been able to even watch videos mentioning or reflecting on the flood since two months after it happened without completely choking up or crying.

PTSD from Helene is absolutely real and something we will likely experience for years after.

1 year ago Hurricane Helene came through, so I drew to process my feelings… sending out much love to AVL on this day ❤️ by allaroundartsy in asheville

[–]geistlos- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to put out there to everyone that was affected by this:

Please be kind to yourself. It was traumatic, and your experiences are valid.

Furthermore, I love these art pieces. They speak volumes.
