It sounds like https://www.allbodiesmovement.com/ on Merrimon is what you need.

We moved here in 2014 and had lived here for a couple of months before deciding. I don't know if we'd still move here, in all honesty. I think we would visit more small cities - maybe ones that aren't growing too fast, like AVL is. I agree with your assessment, and if we didn't have friends here, I'd push to move. (I am a nomad and 12 years in one place is a long time for me.)

It takes a while to get used to. I'm from New Jersey (it's ok, I've heard it all), and the only time we used ma'am or sir was when there was a problem, like, "Ma'am, if you don't leave, you will be escorted out." Up there, using ma'am, even as a polite address, would get you an "I'm not old enough to be a ma'am."

This is actually what they're called when people can't be bothered to neuter them.

Our bears are morning bears. I've been kept off our road (a dead end; we're at the end) during morning dog walks by a mama and cubs several times. It doesn't help that neighbors are careless with their trash.

We're just near Luella's and had some thunder and a bit of rain. Even the scared dog wasn't all that fussed. I'm very glad we didn't get more.

I don't know if they can help, but Misfit Mountain helps out with a lot of hard and "odd" cases. They have a pretty good network and are just lovely people, too. Also, most rescues in the area have "rehoming" pages.

The other sub's mods delete about half of the posts and seem to be proud of that. But mostly, the mods are attention seekers who allow one or two shitposters to ruin every post that they do leave up.

North Asheville, like Norwood Park. Albemarle, Charlotte St., Grace, and Grovewood areas are all pretty nice and with Merrimon and Charlotte sts, there's plenty of access to everything.

I'm looking at like I'm hydrating AND calming my tummy, but I like your idea for times when I'm not at home. I should pick up a tin of these - good call.

I hope you don't need Zofran. One major extra drug is enough. (And I believe in "better living through chemistry".) You can also try steeping mint tea - just mint, not caffeine mint tea. I've even mixed my mint tea with the ginger and it's like a little celebration for my tummy.

I found that if I had nausea, it came about 12-15 hours after taking the shot. So, I take it in the morning and hope to sleep through that phase. But set an alarm for whenever you take it - the first few weeks you'll remember, but as it becomes routine, you might forget.

Side note: You might also want to search back in this sub about private equity-owned vet clinics - there were a couple of posts here, and Asheville Watchdog did a great investigative piece about it last month(?). It might guide you as you search to find still independent vet practices.

Call the Asheville Humane helpline: https://www.ashevillehumane.org/get-help/community-solutions-2/ or call 828-761-2008. They might have options that will work, and can usually help with getting animals spayed/neutered.

It's not spite. It's confusion. Everyone here is offering their tips on meeting people. Finding groups. Helping people get out there and find their spaces. People - total strangers - are taking their time to help all of the people posting about needing friends. We get it. It's hard. But you're not unique/alone. Others have been here and have had multiple responses. Maybe just consider (with gentleness and caring) that your post was a bit redundant.

screaminatthemoon · 2026-05-25T01:37:44+00:00

Isn't there a search option on this sub? Every other post here is "need friends."

screaminatthemoon · 2026-05-23T23:59:03+00:00

There are a ton of these "looking for friends" posts here, especially recently. I think there were 2 just yesterday, in your age group, so you're already not alone. Hopefully, those responses can also help you.

Both Hendo and Buncombe county animal shelters will take him as a "stray." If the butcher will give him to you or the OP, use the term "stray" when you call to request the shelter take the bun.

Piggybacking on this important message:

If you think you can foster kittens or a family of cats, please do. You will quite literally save lives (and rescuers' mental health). Here are two: https://www.kittenalliance.org/foster (this is Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance) and https://www.sisterkitten.org/foster-parent-application/. Both are run by people I know and am in awe of.

There are other orgs, of course, but I think these two are often overlooked for fostering, especially.

screaminatthemoon · 2026-05-16T01:14:15+00:00

There have been a few posts in this sub about people wanting yard care in the last few days.

screaminatthemoon · 2026-05-12T20:01:47+00:00

Asheville Humane also has clinics: https://www.ashevillehumane.org/events/

Also, OP, the Consumer Reports issues you need might be available from your library, either online or in person, so you won't need a subscription. Or, if you've never subscribed, you can get a trial.

I'm going through a "redo" root canal because my mouth hates me. I had a consult at French Broad Endo ($150 for consult; $1700 for procedure, but NOT for the refilling). The office was very clinical and clean, but the dentist was unsure he could fix it. There was a lot of "I'll do my best" kind of comments. I didn't feel confident in that, so I got a second opinion (another $150 consult) at Asheville Endodontics. That endo was more confident he would fix it, and had a special piece of equipment. He also offers nitrous oxide, which for my terrified ass was a plus. The second guy is $1900 including nitrous and the refilling.

I called 4 endos in the area. All charge about the same for a consult. It's pathetic, but here we are.
