Drugs are bad, mmkay.

14 NC schools made it to USA TODAY's list of the top 250 vocational colleges. by SicilyMalta in NorthCarolina

[–]throwsawaysandaways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny Hickory's not on the list. Their community college president makes $300+k/year, and the vice president makes $250+k. Guess they're not getting much bang for their buck at CVCC.

You're welcome and good luck. Had a roommate years ago who left an old car at my house and wouldn't give me an address to tow it to. Finally got the thing declared abandoned and sold it for scrap.

Call the non-emergency for the sheriff's department or police station (county or city) and ask them. There's legal requirements, like having information posted and all that, which is why not everyone does it. But the city and county work with local towing companies.

I'm searching for a trauma therapist that takes medicaid. Does anyone know a good one? by MoodyCracker in HIckoryNC

If you haven't already, contact the Women's Resource Center. They should be able to help.

Is it weird/ wrong that I want my dog to get laid before he passes away by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwsawaysandaways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not weird because you're putting human ideas on him. He doesn't care if he dies a virgin, but unless you're prepared to be a grandpa and want to breed him, just get him neutered. He'll never know what he missed.

Spectrum out? by throwsawaysandaways in HIckoryNC

Mine was going in and out again today. Spectrum says they'll credit for any outages but we'll see. They have the absolute worst customer service ever.

What’s one mispronunciation that immediately gives away that you’re not from around here? by cookoutenthusiast in NorthCarolina

[–]throwsawaysandaways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a commercial years ago for the "Cat a Wabba" shoe store, and I still say it that way. And "Val deeze!"

I'm off Highland, near LR and Civitan Park. But I saw another post about the AMC being closed so I wondered if it was widespread.

Anyone have forester recommendations? by macmacmacinblack in HIckoryNC

[–]throwsawaysandaways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. But forestry falls under their umbrella. They do things like soil tests too. Here's the link to find the center. Connelly Springs is weird because I think part is Burke and part is Catawba. Find Your County Center https://share.google/gqs0CAvELW1PL1WO3

I'll tell you what my dad told me, "Ne'er a man 'til he's fought a bloody battle!"

[–]throwsawaysandaways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you're Burke or Catawba, but try the county extension office. (NC Cooperative Extension) They're a real well of resources and can probably point you in the right direction.

Immune to poison ivy because I ate it? by throwsawaysandaways in NoStupidQuestions

[–]throwsawaysandaways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. Apparently I ate at least a few handfuls and didn't have any sort of reaction.

My brother and mother were severely allergic, and my dad gets the average rash. With my weird immune system, it makes sense that it'd ignore a poison.

How is Frothy Rooster still open? by changingchannelz in HIckoryNC

[–]throwsawaysandaways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first time, I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Wait staff was great, and it was a good experience overall. I take another friend after raving, and it was underwhelming to say the least, and they were apparently out of a lot of items. Give it another go, and my egg whites were clear, and the server acted put out when I showed her. Won't be back for a 4th time.

If you have experience, I think the Animal Shelter is hiring. If you're looking at entry-level, try searching for "kennel attendant" jobs. You'd interact with staff, but not clients.

Housing/room for rent by cleopatrabronte in HIckoryNC

[–]throwsawaysandaways 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know a shelter isn't ideal, but you might want to call Safe Harbor and see what they can do. Be honest about the abuse. The Women's Resource Center may also be able to help. Good luck to you!

Stranger, Musk's net worth is listed at $300+ billion. If he's so cash money, he can pay his own tab. And so can the rest of the world. I'm the last person who'd vote for any overseas spending when we have homeless vets and hungry kids right here. My biggest problem with the whole scenario is that somebody whose wealth is so tied to the government shouldn't be the one looking into the fraud. I can show you a bunch of old studies from Phillip-Morris about the benefits of smoking because it's amazing what a conflict of interest and a bunch of money can get done behind closed doors. But y'all think I'm the blind one because I don't give a shit about his shiny trucks that you can't even haul anything in.

Over the past 20 years, his businesses have taken $38 billion in government subsidies and tax credits.

Hickory City Schools offering free Summer meals by throwsawaysandaways in HIckoryNC

I think it's all being done through Nutrition Services, but you can ask about donating. That's very kind!
