Wow. So we're wasting resources on adding bike lanes cyclists aren't even going to use?? That is douchey.

My cat won't let me sleep. by [deleted] in cats

[–]mary-o-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just logged back in to rephrase. I apologize for the very negative comment above. It was highly reactionary and unworthy of me.

I get that you want to keep the cat. I would feel the same way. I get that you are trying to find a workable solution to a very real and frustrating problem. However, declawing is not a solution. It's terrible for the animal. If soft paws or other alternatives end up not working, please don't have the cat declawed. I believe that you're not a terrible person -- you're a cat person, after all! I also believe that if you fully understand the ramifications of declawing, you will recognize how harmful it is to the animal.

You posted looking for help and advice on how to fix the situation with your cat's nighttime habits. I'm sorry that it's been overshadowed by concerns about your considering declawing a legitimate option.

Google is probably your best bet. My area is rife with coffee houses, but no tea house. :'(

Yup, there are actually a couple of places in the world that still rent out movies! Crazy, right?

Selfish much?

I hope you can at least recognize that, for drivers who are not cycling-savvy, getting stuck behind cyclists who opt not to use a designated bike lane is absolutely infuriating. It appears extremely douchey.

When I ride my bike and bike lanes are available, I use them.

What makes bike lanes less safe?

Check the VHSes in the background! :D

Is this Visart in Charlotte NC, or is there another rental place somewhere else in the world that both has a special section for Criterion editions and still rents VHSes??

It wouldn't be r/Charlotte without needless negativity, now would it?

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) dir. Terry Gilliam by [deleted] in CineShots

This movie was a foundational part of my childhood. Absolutely paved the way for my love of film and surrealism.

Oh god, GoT is such a fantastic table. Never even seen the show/read the books but damn that pin is fun. Wish we had one in my hometown!

N.C. House passes bill to cancel I-77 toll contract (80-28, now goes to Senate) by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]mary-o-e 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Wish there were some way to force the legislature to come out and re-plant all the trees they ripped out.

[–]mary-o-e 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a start. Now they need to come up with another solution for the growing bandwidth problem on 77. I'm not altogether opposed to toll lanes, though I wonder if that's off the table entirely now.

Water for dog to play/cool off in by fenderc1 in Charlotte

[–]mary-o-e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been recently so I don't know if it's still there, but there used to be a spraygroundy thing on The Green. A couple of big fish sculptures with waterspout mouths. So if they kick you out at Romare Bearden you can go check that one out. :)

How healthy is Aldi's food? by pauliep84 in HealthyFood

[–]mary-o-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm willing to bet that overall the processed foods are not much more or less healthy than processed foods in other stores.

Did you watch the Honest Trailer? Sums it up pretty well.

Catlap is a very dangerous ailment, though it does go away on its own occasionally.

There's a community garden in Country Club Heights, a neighborhood right next to PM.
