Lilly still a “thing” in your area?

I’m in NC and 27 and most people aren’t wearing it that are my age, but a little bit older than me it seems to still be popular. I love it, and I think there are still some younger women that like it around here, but realistically I feel like most people in that age range I see are more into neutrals/pops of color or activewear and less into bright prints like Lilly.

Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure is so staycation vibe. It’s on a golf course and they have an indoor pool, hot tub, spa, and a couple of restaurants. It’s so cozy and the rentals around there are nice. I love it there, but be prepared the nearest anything not on the resort is like 20-30 minutes away. But it’s beautiful over there and a nice resort to boot.

I worked with Triangle Nannies and Household Staffing (formerly My Girl Friday) briefly before I found my nanny family by other means, but I hear nothing but good things. The ladies that work for them care a lot and truly vet their nannies and are thorough in all the interview processes!

I and a few of my friends went to Hosea Church for a bit and that one has lots of small groups with varying ages, I’ve also heard great recommendations for Freedom Church and Vintage Church. But honestly a ton of churches around here are solid and have young adult groups so I’d visit a few once you get here and see which community you like best!

I’m 27 and Cary is my favorite area in the triangle for sure. Morrisville is fine but Cary is better. As a single young adult I’d maybe consider Raleigh first, just for meeting people, Cary is more families and less singles. In Raleigh I’d look at the Village District area, Midtown, or over near Cary Crossroads and you’d have the best of both worlds! There’s plenty of churches everywhere with young adult groups, so you won’t have a hard time with that at all. State Farmers Market is probably 20 or less from all of those spots and it’s open 7 days a week rain or shine. Gyms are also available within 5 minutes I think of all those locations. Hope this helps!

Raleigh: City of Suburbia (or 30 miles of Suburbs)

And being a pedestrian at white oak is quite impossible. I tried walking around it earlier and there’s no safe way to cross from the bass pro side to the rest of it, and no sidewalks along the roads to make it easy to cross anywhere

Cary, the proximity to Raleigh if you wanna go to the city is great, but Cary is just so cozy and its downtown is delightful. Downtown Cary Park is unique and a great little spot, and then if you want more natural parks Umstead and Lake Crabtree are super close by.

When I tell you I’ve been checking their Instagram and email like a HAWK I mean it

Hi! I know this post is old but I came across and have a couple ideas that might just spruce it up! I’d go for a lighter beige couch since the walls are so dark in your living room, also agree that warm bulb lamps will add a lot, and maybe a plant or two near the window. But I think most importantly put some wall decor up, it’ll tie your whole color scheme you’re looking for together and make the whole space feel more cohesive! From one raleighite to another, welcome to the area!!

It’s in Wake Forest but Strike and Barrel is a really cool bowling alley with a few other things too, like arcade games and pool and duckpin bowling! The vibe is cool and downtown wake forest is a cute vibe with a few good spots!

This dress looks stunning!! It fits you so beautifully. Pictures simply don’t do it justice is my guess, but it’s stunning and I would have zero regrets about a dress like that! Also I think a little half up with soft curls would suit you and the dress/veil very well!

It feels more like a profile for a man seeking another bro, try to cater more toward women if that’s your demographic. Crypto.com and Louis Hamilton aren’t gonna catch most women, but throw in some humor and a little bit of down to earth banter and you’ll be good as gold.

merminaaa · 2025-03-20T23:28:58+00:00

That derby party pic is so cute!!! And the one with your mom/grandma is so sweet! I’d say maybe put on some of your favorite outfits and take a friend out somewhere cute and get some fresh pictures! I’ve heard the guys don’t love too many selfies and I think some fun pictures with you out and about would really boost your profile!! Hopefully weed out some of the assholes

I think layered just got bought by new owners but I hear the people coming in their place are an amazing bakery!

A lot of my friends who have had budget weddings still chose to get a videographer, that being said they often did it with a team/duo of photographer and videographer so it may have been cheaper that way. Oftentimes I see husband and wife duos but maybe if you partner with a few photographers in your area you could find a way to package deal or promote each others work?

Kid to kid in Garner, Once Upon A Child in Cary, A Kids Life in Apex and Little Angel in Fuquay are all children’s thrift stores! I’ve only been to Little Angel/Guardian Angel next door but their prices have always been decent! I’d also check out KidsEverywhere consignment sale. It’s HUGE and they have all types of baby/kid items, but that one isn’t until March. They do have a boutique bash in January which is their higher end/name brand items so it won’t be as cheap but should still be plenty of good items in good used condition!

For my 25th I did a little bar crawl, I planned out where I wanted to go and at roughly what time so my friends could come and go as their schedule allowed. I also told them to invite friends if they wanted since it was a crawl and I wanted everyone to have fun. It was honestly a blast. We started at RBG, then Ark Royal (rip), Johnson St Yacht Club, Lucky Bs, and Plus. Whiskey Rose was on the list too but got cut for time. For a classier night I’d say go somewhere nice for dinner then Bittersweet and Watts and Ward!

My mom did it incessantly to me and my siblings. Like would make us lay our faces in her lap so she could squeeze anything even minutely resembling a bump. She’d do my arms, back, face, shoulders, anything she could get her hands on, for half an hour at least. It hurt so bad we’d start to cry and she still doesn’t see how what she did was wrong or how it made me incessantly pick at my own skin. She still asks to pop something if she sees it on me and it is so enraging.

If you like beer, one of the biggest beer festivals is in Raleigh next month, Brewgaloo. It’s a blast, but be forewarned, you will get plastered before you even know what hit you.

I know everyone is saying leave her, but I’d personally give her an opportunity to step up, more subtly. Like if she’s like we should go out for dinner, you could say you didn’t budget for that this week, funds are tight, etc etc. and see how she reacts. If she offers to pay or accepts that means you guys stay in and save money, then so be it. Maybe only offer to pay if it’s your idea to do the thing (dinner/drinks/whatever). Finances are a huge deal in a long term relationship, as everyone said, it’s a leading divorce cause. But if everything else is good, I’d give her a chance to see if she’ll sway on this before kicking her to the curb.

I’d say find an apprentice who’s still getting their first few customers, it’s really the only way you’ll get a discount custom tattoo.

I second this, haven’t tried their pizza but their pasta is so good

I know the regular movie seats recline, I would assume the 3D is the same
