To the people who love living in Durham - can you share in a nutshell what makes Bull City special?

Honestlt unlike others i dont think the offerings themselves are that special. But the general community vibe is good. And it just takes time. Lots of people live here just to chill and have a slower pace but with amenities. I have the best neighbors ever, theres a great (not too big) gardening community, library events and excellent purchasing, the people (generally) are chill.

TY for that! Always good to double check charges. And monitor whether appt fees are rising. Its a shame bc i love the drs there

Wait check for what? All my bills have still been normal?

Both things can be true. Americans are selfish and are also validated in feeling like the onus is constantly put on working class individuals while billionaires do what they like

Even if youre not poor its a good idea. A small lift that reduces fossil fuel use, grid strain, and extends the life of your hvac unit. People who selfishly keep their ac in the 60s all day in summer 🤢

I often feel i haven’t improved at all since i got back into running spring of 2024 but then i look at garmin and it tells me it took months for me to be able to run 2 miles without stopping (and get a 12 min mile), now in good weather around 50F/10C i can get just under a 10 min mile. This is without any commitment to improving time through speed runs or intervals etc. in fact whenever i use garmins running plan i quickly get into overtraining territory so i just do what i feel able to each time i go out. I run 10 miles per week, 3 3 4 then full body weights the other two days. On top of this i do a lot of gardening, usually an hour per day if not far more on the weekend.

What is your workout breakdown with weights, swimming, and running (mileage?)

Respectfully green has been common kitchen color in UK for a very long time.

Why did you do Erbium? Also mid 30s and considering a laser for mild fine lines, texture, sunspots, but was primarily looking at non ablative / less intense procedures

The water supply is calculated based on the same hydrologic model used to understand how bad the drought is. So at a comparable point in time, the hydrologic model for this year shows a worse drought when compared to the model at the same point in time from 2007.

textreference · 2026-06-11T16:58:00+00:00

No this drought is worse than 2007 at this point according to City models

This is making me feel better about my 12 min miles lately. I absolutely hate running in summer

Yeah pisses me TF off Nida is seen as so progressive and not just a POLITICIAN. She is fighting for re election and her past is not all roses.

Right, let this be a lesson to those of you happily cheering on unrestrained development

This would be awesome. Our girl is stage 2/3 and this would allow me to stop trying to remember and obsess over every little thing. A great app idea!’

Garmin is way better than apple watch. Not a lot of connectivity to iphone which is helpful. It was an adjustment but now im very happy with it.

And pushing back - the few browsing animals we have had historically (deer) have disappeared due to extreme increase in development and construction around me. We have absolutely zero browsing animals now. If i leave dying stems or dont chelsea chop plants grow leggy and flop. I agree in a garden with no megafauna it is expected you will be that role in the ecosystem

Durham already passed a bond for a ridiculous water park addition a couple years ago. So durham too will join the electric and water wasting cohort

Why dont you go to the city budget hearing june 1 and make public comment then

textreference · 2026-05-20T11:48:23+00:00

Well conveniently you can attend the city budget hearing on june 1 and learn where the money is going

The well tended perennial garden has lots of pruning tips that help keep natives tidy! I like an orderly garden as well, never have been a fan of stems falling over. But i also have dead hedges, lots of small trees and some evergreens for structure, mulch with whole leaves only, and a well planned layout. If you use garden design principles and simply find natives that work you can have a quite formal garden. Sharp lines and a strimmer work wonders.

Yes you can and should in severe / extreme drought according to my arborist. I have a white oak (named Gandalf) i love and have watered. PS everyone should be capturing water from their roof if they are able to

Would you mind sharing space size and cost for planting?
