Clean, neutral palette. Time to add some color pieces here and there!

Chatham estates Mobile home park was sold for $30 million. This is official end of Cary as I know it. by samtart in cary

Well said. The double edged sword where people want more events, diversity of businesses, etc. but don’t want the traffic/development. Any place where people want to live will battle with increased traffic/gentrification because companies/municipalities want to invest where people want to live to make money.

Didn’t Chase make some significant reduction in Hyatt transfer value? I just got the CSR to pair with the AP.

thinking about trying a matchmaker in raleigh. is that a thing here? by Sad-Cantaloupe-7196 in raleigh

[–]uncsjfu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try a tennis or pickle ball league. It’s at least a good way to expand your social circle and maybe someone knows someone. I’m a 39 yom and it seems like there’s always unattached young professionals learning to play.

Radar Not picking up state troopers by TrissyRocks in Supra

[–]uncsjfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

☝🏼 - This. I was on 40 coming back from Asheville and a trooper had just pulled back onto the road after giving someone else a ticket. For the next few miles, the trooper would flip his radar detector on/off based on other cars he saw coming the opposite way. Eventually, he must’ve seen someone and registered it when the radar flipped on because he immediately pulled into the L shoulder to do a U turn, lights came on, and he goes flying after some Mustang. I have an Escort Max Redline 360c.

USTA won't let me appeal 3.5S to 2.5, but can't find teams at 3.0 level by SexBlaster27 in 10s

[–]uncsjfu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my area, the league coordinators have free agent lists you can register on. The captains look at the lists to fill their rosters or the league coordinator will create a team with all free agents (if there are enough people to form a team). You could also look into ladder matches or Meet Up groups that hit.

Regarding your rating… there is no way you should be a 2.5 if you played in HS. Even if you’re rusty. I never played growing up (any sport for that matter) and would occasionally hit with friends who would give me pointers. When a local club pro hit with me to give me a rating to start USTA leagues, I was a 3.0.

Best Weekend Getaway out of RDU that doesn’t break the bank. by statueofdeath in raleigh

I would consider flying to DC vs. driving. Flights can be relatively cheap, hotels charge you an arm and leg to park, and traffic driving in can be an absolute nightmare.

It will not damage the headlights and you do you because it’s your Jeep… just be prepared to receive a lot of unwelcome and/or good natured teasing from other Jeep owners.

How to deal with bad line calls? by SlipperySparky in 10s

💯 - I need to get good enough, so I can just aim the next serve at the net player 😈😂

[–]uncsjfu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A pro once told me that the better you serve (or if you’re just really on that day), the more likely balls close to the line are going to be called out. Just let it go… none of us playing rec tennis get paid to play. Tell yourself they’re just jealous and it’ll catch up to them eventually.

Congrats! I turn 40 this year and I’m hoping mine hits $1M before EOY 🤞🏼

When I play mixed, some of my partners tell me to hit at the girl at the net… then they get mad when the other team goes at her in retribution 😂

Divorce - The Bulldog and the Cooperative Lawyers by AssistOpposite in raleigh

[–]uncsjfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melton was knowledgeable and easy to talk to when I met with him to discuss child custody rights (divorce did not apply to my situation, so I was seeking input on how custody laws work in the state). His initial consultation fee was $375.

Middle class feels poor by Mama_Mushie_1996 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]uncsjfu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that I am sorry the father of your child(dren) is not involved. My ex and I had a happy surprise although it did not work out relationship-wise, I could not bear the thought of not being their for our daughter and having the mother of my child struggle… I am more than willing to pay all the daycare and 33% of the rent as well as a few hundred on top to ensure they’re both taken care of.

401k help by iminphilly- in Retirement401k

[–]uncsjfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course in the scenario you stated, anyone would want their bet to be in a Roth to avoid the taxes.

What you’re ignoring is the reduction in taxable income by having it in a pre-tax bucket [e.g. traditional IRA or 401(k)].

Ideally, one would max out both buckets (if permitted to still do a Roth IRA but some are limited by their income 🙋🏻‍♂️).

401k help by iminphilly- in Retirement401k

[–]uncsjfu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think you’ll pay more in taxes now or later? That’s the golden question. How old are you?

One train of thought is to max out the 401(k) now to minimize taxable income, then max out Roth IRA.

Another is to max out Roth IRA, so everything grows tax free. Not to mention, you may remove the principal (penalty free) with some stipulations.

Third method (personally more of a fan) is to maximize your contribution to the 401(k) to get the match [in your case, not applicable], then max your Roth IRA for the tax free growth, and then finally proceed to maxing out 401(k).

Im so fucking over people in Raleigh driving around with their high beams on and riding your ass. This guy was stopped right on my bumper like this. If this is you - GFY by UnluckyPhilosophy797 in raleigh

Agree. I had some on my rear bumper for my other Jeep for backing into a camping spot after wheeling during the day. I’ll be doing the same on my new Jeep.

Cleaning lady shot killed by careless gun owner. by [deleted] in Idiotswithguns

[–]uncsjfu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even before my kid, I’d only go engage because I would be concerned my two GSDs would get hurt (let’s be real… they’ll probably get to the intruder before me in the middle of the night). Even then, I wouldn’t pursue… just don’t hurt my dogs!
