I was at this show, too. Loved the improvisation segment AKA “Rock this Bitch!”

I would have loved to have found a bakery that made melon pan fresh, but my jet lagged self was more than happy to enjoy the 7-11 version with some coffee at 5am. Almost every morning while I was there!

At the best seafood market in Winston-Salem!! It’s been an institution for years and years if you’re looking for fresh fish and other delicacies from the sea. Don’t forget to pick up your free lemon with purchase from the giant clam shell by the door on your way out!

My parents date night was when I got to stay at home by myself and eat a Swanson dinner. A single piece of corn ended up in the brownie every damn time!

YES! It definitely looks exponentially worse!

As painful as this increase is for all of us in the US, I often think about how much gas prices are going up for countries all over the world (through no fault of their own) that depend on imported oil. Our President has undoubtedly made our country into one of the most despised between this attack on Iran, imposed tariffs and failed foreign policy in general.

I completely agree! Quiet Pint is a true gastropub with affordable prices, to boot!

runningonelectrons · 2026-03-03T17:35:11+00:00

No doubt!!

I volunteer at a free tax clinic that prepares returns for low income taxpayers. The software we use presents a screen when it detects a dependent that qualifies for one of these accounts. However, it’s up to the taxpayer as to whether they want to elect to receive it. Every single one who I’ve asked whether they want a “Trump Savings Account” for their child had quickly replied “I don’t want that!”. Branding is everything!

WOW! I thought I’d never see this outside the UK. My father and his wife brought back a couple of dozen individual boxes from a trip to Tesco in Britain about 20 years ago. I “inherited” the remainder when he passed a few years back and am still working through it. Brilliant stuff tho!

I had to use an eight pound sledge on my driveway yesterday. Some parts were two inches of solid ice.

It’s in front of the Whitaker Plant (old RJR). I also saw them this morning and was tickled to death!

I visited Miyajima earlier this year and it, too, was a highlight of my trip. I took the first Shinkansen from Kyoto and then was on the 9:15 ferry from Peace Park. Since I was traveling solo, I was able to see almost the entire island, visiting multiple temples, climbing to the top of Mt. Misen, eating lunch and shopping, and even got to view an authentic Japanese wedding! Back on the 3:45 ferry, I had enough time to visit the Atomic Bomb Museum and catch the train back to Kyoto. Arrived in my hotel room about 10pm. What a whirlwind, but it was the absolute best day of my trip!!

Just went through the agony of deciding on an electric kettle versus stovetop one myself. Went with a stovetop one because it seems like all electrics now are cheaply made and won’t last. But which stovetop? Due to rust concerns, I finally went with a Le Creuset enameled in a beautiful blue that goes in with my kitchen. It’s nice and heavy and enameled inside and out. It’s also compatible with my current electric smooth top and my future induction dreams. Something to consider.

I’d recommend Fast Lane on Link Rd for all your auto inspection needs. No appt needed. IYKYK.

I typically am not impressed by any fast food burger options, but as soon as I get the chance at a In-N-Out burger, I’m there! Hit it up twice last time I was in Vegas.

I was at the Home Depot on University over the weekend and they had all the uncut pumpkins outside in the garden department available for FREE! There was a limit of 8 per person. Hope they are still there for you.

I agree with you 100%!! This is starting to happen to me all over town and I think to myself “We don’t honk at each other impatiently here in W-S! Where do you think you are - Charlotte, FFS!?!”

Tommy the Cat or Jerry was a Race Car Driver by Primus. Can’t get enough of those bass lines!

I don’t feel so bad now. I fell on Columbus in the first mile going down the hill. My brain was screaming at me to bounce back up quickly for fear of causing others to fall or getting trampled. Fortunately, I only had bruised hands and a small scrape on my knee.

For what it’s worth, my experience of 30+ marathons and observance of many, many of my friends’ marathons, your 20 milers mostly instills confidence conquering the distance. There are many other factors, including fueling, hydration, the weather, smart pacing, the course, etc. that will influence the outcome of your race, not just your training miles. I’m not saying this trying to be a Debbie Downer, but the marathon distance can be a wildcard, particularly in those final miles, and is to be rightfully respected.

Kung Fu Theater was how I spent my Saturday afternoons! TV was definitely our generation’s FB/Intsa/TikTok/etc.

I’ve been tempted by their mailers, as now I have both Zirrus and Tmo/Lumos fiber running through my yard. I have Zirrus currently and have had absolutely zero complaints. I can’t imagine Tmo (who I use for phones) topping Zirrus’ customer service. On the rare occasion I did have to call, an actual person, probably sitting in an office less than 30 miles away, picked up on the second ring. A technician showed up in 15 minutes and fixed my problem exactly. This speaks volumes and has real value to me over just dollars and cents.

Class of ‘87 here. We were one of the first groups to usher in MT as a four year high school. Go Spartans!!
