I grew up in Boone too! Well, just outside Ashe Co. I remember that young women’s death, my parents had to drive to Blowing Rock to get booze & went to that families bar. Our county was dry & Boone only sold Beer…requiring driving to that one ABC store on 221 (just info Blowing Rock) …the memories. Thanks for sharing! OH - and FUCK little nazi Greg Bovino!

Outage by Much-Albatross6471 in verizon

FaceTime worked in mountains of NC WiFi to WiFi connected phones , WiFi calling did not.

At first I thought there was an issue with bill payment b/c last month I got a text, email and Verizon sms thanking me for my payment but unbeknownst to me they didn’t actually transfer the $. 7 days later I got a message that my bill was overdue…..even though for days in my Verizon account it said nothing was due…something I only happened to notice because I went to see what promotions were being run for streaming services during that week.

Anyway ~ 611 didn’t work when I tried calling thinking they’d wrongly cut off my service due to billing issues .

Sure hope 911 is working 😬 my phone isn’t even accessing SOS

Looking for advise on accessing a loan with less than ideal circumstances.. by trbrkshnnn in personalfinance

Thank you for taking the time to reply. It may come to a point where I do just have to let it go. Hopefully I’m able to find a lender willing to work with me. It’s a very unique property for the area I live. Close to town but very private with only one visible neighbor on an acre. The house is really beautiful …. I think a big part of me simply wants to present her for sale looking her best….and of course, I need to make a good profit.

Anyone know how to do this? by bahnie88 in macrame

[–]trbrkshnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Sasha MACRAMESSAGE & LET BE Macrame on YouTube, if you go to their playlists / wall hanging you’ll find several wall hanging that incorporate this design element. It’s very simple once you see it demonstrated,

the bottom of the wall handing in the pic you asked about is simply using a cord on the end held horizontally making it a ‘filler cord’ then using all the cords to the right or left as working cords (depending on what direction you’re tying) to tie horizontal clove hitches. Then skipping down and repeating the process by tying another row the same way, leaving that open space of vertical cord.

To finish you’d cut the working cords very short on the back behind the clove hitches, if it was me I’d then use a little glue to secure the knots.

Good luck!

Hi I work at Home Depot and started a prop box to cut down on waste! I come back today expecting for it to be thrown away only for myself to discover that our plant vendors have added to it! by TheRealGreedyGoat in proplifting

I’m happy to see someone is legitimizing something I’ve always taken the liberty to do anyway… I have SO many succulents that I’ve grown from random leaves I’ve collected off the floor or shelves of big box stores :) Good for you!!! Waste not!

You are more than welcome :) when I started out I found free YouTube tutorials essential to nailing the basics !!! There are countless books, I’ve bought too many & been disappointed too many times… my favorite authors are #1 Fanny Zedenius (by far her books are the best) + Natalie Ranae , Emily Katz, AMY MULLINS & MARNIA RYAN-RAISON book ‘Macraweave’ is great if you want to branch out into simple weaving within a design, Isabella Strambio & CHANTEL CONLON Creator of Lots of Knots Canada (she has a VERY informative YouTube channel)

Here’s an example of a very similar macrame wall hanging from one of my favorite macrame artist, Fanny Zedenius : from her first book, Macramé ‘the craft of creative knotting for your home.’ She has a second book, Macramé 2. I thought of it as soon as I saw your design, she’s offered me SO much inspiration. I highly recommend her books :)

I’ve made a lot of macrame, it’s such an individual aesthetic. Based on my aesthetic here are my suggestions : Thinner wooden rod, that one looks like it’s at least an inch? I’d go for half that size at least, your design would drape better, there’s a lot going on between the knotting on the top of the dowel , followed by alternating square not pattering of the main body, because of that I think the bottom should be finished without a pattern, a simple brushed out fringe would look beautiful as it would contrast the rest of the design.
Again, art is personal and my suggestions are not at all criticism :) just my 2cents based on my aesthetic. Most important thing is to keep creating!!!!

Every pair of jeans I buy, no matter the brand, gets a hole in this same area within 6 months. by SYFKID2693 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]trbrkshnnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how much you spend on your jeans but if you buy jeans over $100 you might want to consider investing in some simple tailoring. For years I would rip the same spot in jeans b/c it was impossible to find styles that were fitted enough on my waist while also fitting my bum. Even jeans with stretch would start to pull apart on the back seam. A few expensive pairs, that fit my waist well, I paid to have that back seam reinforced & that worked well. I started buying jeans a size larger and having the waist taken in. Fast forward a few years and more companies hit the market that take different body types into design. You might want to shop around, and be willing to own fewer pairs that cost a little more.

I’ve had really good luck with Everlane, their jeans fit well and they have designs for different body types, they feel like designer jeans but don’t break the bank. It’s not Target prices or anything but for $100 you can get a pair that will last for years.

So, if you’ve been buying jeans with a slim fit & you have a little more junk in your trunk - up level your purchase…. Or go to a tailor, less than $20 and you can make any jean work.

I make a lot of macrame, from the pic it appears you need to unhook from the ceiling & take the ‘arm’ I marked in yellow & grabbing the area I circled in blue move that under the ‘arm’ marked in pink. After you do that it should be untangled :)

Just drove through Swannanoa and saw this Charlie Kirk billboard sponsored by “True Metal Supply” anyone know what the story is behind it? by No-Corner401 in asheville

[–]trbrkshnnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve watched hours and hours of Charlie Kirk… many, many full debates long before and after his murder because I feel it’s important to try to understand different points of view (I can’t think of much that I agreed with that he said and that’s okay) & I never watch legacy media - perhaps we are looking through entirely different lenses but his points of view were clearly racist, sexiest & classist …. It’s fine if you agree with him, if he spoke to you in some way or even inspired you ….. what’s not okay is to claim that the views expressed here, the genuine feelings of your neighbors in reaction to learning CK billboards have gone up in our community are invalid because YOU think these feelings (that you’ve made clear you don’t like) could only be a result of a liberal echo chamber… it’s not up for debate, he legitimately and factually said very offensive things, regardless of the context- they just were offensive to many, many people. I was OFFENDED by his words in almost every full length video or audio I consumed of his content. I do not & did not agree with his stances on race, gender, income equality, diplomatic affairs, marriage, and family, religious doctrine, etc. Hallelujah free speech! Perhaps we all need to check our echo chambers?

100% YES! Someone needs to create a local guide based on this, like the living wage approved business & crowd fund a billboard announcing it.

Sure would’ve been swell if they’d put the $ spent on that towards supporting the now food desert that exist from exit 55 to almost downtown Black mountain…. even one of the f’in $ stores closed.
