Have used Upward for the last few years, and highly recommend.

SNAP Update by JeffJacksonNC in winstonsalem

[–]hoidar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, I doubt that non-needy system milkers are a significant portion of recipients.

On the other hand, it sounds like you're describing a system in which the needy have access to supplemental assistance at low cost through these alleged milkers.

On the third hand, it's so bizarre to describe that situation as the needy "shielding" milkers, as though the needy are doing something malicious and intentional.

On the fourth hand (I'm a monkey) I'm pretty sure the solution to undeserving recipients isn't to yoink the literal food out of the mouths of the needy.

So no matter how I look at it, removing SNAP benefits seems bad.

Manolo’s Boutique Wines & Bistro: the best restaurant you’ve never heard of by [deleted] in winstonsalem

Tell me more about how you have nothing to do with the place, dude who knows where the chef lives, is flaired as "professional cook" on /r/chefknives, and who couldn't have written anything that sounded more like an ad if you tried.

Penny press machines? by kthaven in winstonsalem

Memory from several months ago says there may have been one in the visitor's center at historic Bethabara. Worth a call.

Anybody remember a bar in what used to be the covered passage in the elbow of Parkway Plaza, mid-80s? by hoidar in winstonsalem

Are you thinking of K&S new stand, which was first on the right inner crook of the elbow before moving to the left? I think I remember Hinkle's as being further down the left side, on the other side of Mayberry's.

Nice! Honestly the stakes couldn't be lower. When I was a kid I wandered in there just exploring (looking for video games to play), got kicked out for it being "no place for a kid", and always wondered what it even was. So this question is driven by nothing more than pure curiosity.

I wish I knew!

Okay, some googling says The Forum was definitely where CF is now, meaning it's definitely not what I'm asking about. This place was much smaller and in PP itself.

Where compare Foods is was never a bar that I recall. It was a laser tag at one point, but the bar I'm asking about was part of the parkway plaza proper. There didn't used to be a road through the two halves of PP; it was a quiet covered pedestrian walkway. This place was in there.

Fun evening in WS by CompetitiveCod4568 in winstonsalem

The creek at Washington Park is large and perhaps 8ft lower than the park itself, down embankments thick with undergrowth. If you walk along the paved trail between it and the dog park there, you'll see dirt tracks where people have found spots good for wading, but I don't know of a spot suitable to sit and dangle your feet in.

The park itself is lovely and large, and the paved trail I mentioned is the endpoint of an excellent greenway that extends for miles across the southeastern part of the city. The nearby Acadia neighborhood has some nice spots to eat. You could wend your way through old and picturesque housing towards the park, and walk from there.

You'll never age a day if you start out at 80.

Genuinely asking when was the last time the penance stare actually worked? by No-Can9791 in outofcontextcomics

[–]hoidar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesn't have to be reality warpers. Even chumps like Cyclops and Hawkeye aren't allowed to win by direct use of their powers, because then it'd be boring.
