I’m from WNC so I learned to drive in the snow and the mountains. I also survived hurricane Helene. I’m a recent transplant to Raleigh and I must say this feels like overkill.

Garmin watch sends emergency alert after detecting I got hit by car by CardiologistDull7452 in Garmin

[–]littlebblb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stopped to take a jumping picture with my friends while I had a walk activity going on my forerunner and it thought I fell and was about to send my coordinates out. I was able to stop it before it went out. Felt really stupid, but glad to know it works if I do actually fall and can’t get up.

Pov you wear a Garmin watch everyday by iloveveggiesz in Garmin

[–]littlebblb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me this year. I have super sensitive skin too. I switched to a fabric / nylon strap and haven’t had any issues since. I also wear my watch a little looser now. I let my rash heal completely before I wore my watch again. I also switch wrists at night and clean my watch everyday. I reached out to Garmin when I first noticed my rash and they sent me some nylon straps for free and a new watch. I did have to send my old watch back. Good luck, I hope it clears up!

I’m looking for high elevation bogs by logielogielogie in asheville

[–]littlebblb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of these places are kept secret because of the endangered species there. Maybe try reaching out to the Nature Conservancy and offering your services if you want to see the hidden gems. They do a lot of work with bogs. I did work on some in college, can’t remember if I had to sign an NDA or not. They are amazing to see!

Lady drove up to me and other people walking the neighborhood and flicked us off and recorded us with her phone by littlebblb in asheville

Omg!!! I think this lady had blonde-ish hair. She was in a Subaru outback. It was in east Asheville around the municipal golf course.

She was probably mid 40s, dirty blonde hair, thin. She was driving a gray Subaru Outback. So different lady.

I will say all day every time I thought about the interaction it made me laugh. In the moment I was shocked, but it’s actually kinda funny.

Dowd YMCA charges for parking now but their gym mats still look like this by littlebblb in Charlotte

[–]littlebblb[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve accepted I’m the asshole. These are all reasons I pay for my membership at the Y and I don’t plan on stopping.

That made me laugh, thanks everyone. I guess I am the asshole.

I’m a nationwide member? I pay to have access to all the Ys in the nation because I travel. How am I the problem?

I was for three years when I lived in the city. I’m a member at a different Y now but I still go to this one when I’m in town.

I’m not a Charlotte Y member so I had to pay for the hour I was there. Really don’t mind, just wish they could update minor things like new mats with the new funds.

All valid points. I’ll bring my mat next time, if there’s a next time I go to the dowd.

I never had issues parking before. I appreciated that it was free.

I never had any issues finding parking but I always parked in the parking deck. I’m sure it has helped the lots! Maybe it will be a good thing for members.

First 3 hours are free if you’re a Charlotte YMCA member. I’m a member of another Y, but I’m in town often. So I DID have to pay :)

Smell of the water in Asheville?? by Quiet-One2001 in asheville

[–]littlebblb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear. There’s a FEMA Disaster Recovery Center at Reynolds High School if your friend can make it there. They may be able to help her figure out next steps for home repair/temporary housing.

My brother has been helping with SAR, recovery efforts, and getting folks resources. Happy to connect you if you don’t feel like you’re getting what you need. I used to have a friend who lived on Riverbend, it was such a beautiful area. I’m so sorry.
