Will be driving from Knoxville to Asheville in mid-July, and am looking for the most beautiful route. Would you suggest Knoxville - Newfound Gap - Asheville, or Knoxville through Robbinsville and Bryson City to Asheville?
Thank you kindly!

Thank you so much.
I'd love to take my mother for a very special birthday dinner - ideally somewhere with great food and a beautiful view. Somewhere that you wouldn't go every day. Fancy is fine as I want to make it the best dinner I can for her. Any recommendations?
Have a teen from out-of-town visiting this Saturday and want to take her somewhere fun for breakfast or brunch since it's her birthday. We'll only have an hour around noon and I know that's the busy time for everywhere. I'm pretty familiar with a bunch of spots in East but wondered what people's recs are for somewhere with not too crazy a line, that might feel a little cool and exciting for her. I was thinking The Yellow Table or Turkey and the Wolf but not sure if it'll just be crazy long lines around that time?
My partner and I moved into a new house at the start of this month. I'm starting to feel kinda depressed because so far, we've only (mostly!) set up the living room and kitchen. I will say we are particular and take care with decor/arrangements/organization. Our bedroom, guest room, garage, and offices (we WFH) are not yet unpacked and done -- and I'm starting to feel a little dismayed because it seems like other people are capable of moving in totally in like, a week! But in between two jobs each and other responsibilities, with a few hours in the evening/morning, how are people setting up their whole place so quickly?? Am I (and my partner) some freakish outliers??
I have a trio of very cute, pristine Disney Store plushies from the 90s - Hen Wen, Gurgi, and a Fairfolk. Asking $25 plus shipping for all 3. I hope they can make someone happy!

My sibling has started upon the evil texts tonight. Disinviting me from their upcoming graduation, saying I’m a bad person (no specified reasons). I predict a big outburst of abuse tomorrow. I’m telling myself I will disengage completely and not respond. But I’m terrified. What do you do when the storm is headed your way?
I picked these up randomly at a thrift store in the Bay Area a few years ago, thinking I’d clean them and use them for special occasions. I now realize I am not a special occasion person (and have very little storage space), so wanted to sell them, but in doing so, realized I know nothing about them! I know the pictures aren’t great because they aren’t in wonderful condition and are hard to photograph.
What I can tell you is there are 5, and I’m guessing they’re butter knives? They appear identical and one has the Lamson & Goodnow manufacturing mark, the rest have the A.F. Towles & Son manufacturing mark. I know these are two old American silverware manufacturers. The handles are very shiny and I wonder if they are genuine mother-of-pearl.
Any more insight from the expert crowd here on when these may date from and what they may be worth, if anything? I see some similar items on eBay, but none exactly like this.
It feels like everywhere I go, people have the thinnest covers. Hotels, Airbnbs — these thin covers that are so light they may as well be a top sheet. I hate it. I need weight to sleep. I need to start carrying a weighted or thick blanket around with me but who decided everyone wants to sleep under a half cm thin piece of nothing.
Hi all, I am not sure if this is a thing/service that generally exists, as Google doesn't bring up much apart from pet sitters.. are there vet techs who might do home visits to assist with post-operative care, and if so, how might you suggest go about finding them? We are in NYC, with a dog about to undergo major surgery, and will of course ask our current vet, but just wondering if anyone has any advice on this generally?
We have a senior dog who is going to be recovering from surgery, and we wondered if there are vet nurses/techs who do at home visits to assist in post-operative care. Is this generally a thing, and apart from asking our vet, does anyone know what would be a good way to go about finding such a person or service? Google searching generally doesn't really bring anything up. We are located in a major US city. Thank you kindly.
Has anyone used a good service? Looking for assistance with post-surgical nursing care for our family's dog. Any intel very, very gratefully received. Thank you.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a vet nurse/tech who does home visits for post-surgery recovery? Trying to look for someone good to help with our pup. I noticed Skoop -- does anyone have experience with them?
