I’ve leased an apartment and I need furniture. I donated my previous furniture to an NPO called Angels Inc (in South Dakota) that works with high school kids to refurbish and then resell furniture. Are there places in Greensboro that have a similar business model?
I’ll forgo the obligatory request for information most first posters are seeking (FWIW I’ve posted my share of answers over on r/RapidCity.) and just say “Hello”. I plan to spend the next 6-9 months in the area and will likely be posting here on occasion.
I am based in South Dakota but work remotely for a hospital system here in the SE. I’m thinking of permanently relocating but wanted to try living in the area first.
Big supporter of the arts, already have an audition lined up for choir. Enjoy live music by local musicians and intend to support/be part of the local community theater.
I have a couple friends in the Charlotte area, none here yet. Fell in love w/the low country back around the turn of the century, was able to see the harbor through the old bridges and really enjoyed watching the ravenell bridge get built via webcam.
Anywho, thats me, i promise i won’t add all that much traffic to the roads and i’ll do my share to attract more than my fair share of mosquitoes.
(Q’s email to Alice’s parents)
Daniel and Stephanie,
I'm sorry to start this so bluntly, but there's really no pretext. Alice is gone. She died, saving me, our friends, and an entire world. This might sound like hyperbole, but I swear to god it's not. She gave her life, knowingly, willingly, for us, and she's not coming back. I'm so, so sorry.
I don't even know how to start telling you the whole story, but it doesn't matter why she died. It just matters how. Your daughter - your beautiful daughter who I loved far more than my actions said, who deserved a better man than me, a better friend than me - she gave her life to save mine. Because of her, you're getting an email that my parents aren't. It's horribly unfair, but it's what she wanted
It's what she always wanted, to shoulder all of the weight. Because despite her insecurities and her perchant to demure, deep down she knew she was the best of all of us. Smarter, stronger, kinder. She was who we all wanted to be. Just being in her presence taught us how to be our better selves. So of course, her last action in life would do the same. It's so cruel that her inner goodness is what ultimately took her from us. I’ll never know a truer kindness than your daughter, and I'll miss her every day.
I'm so horribly sorry for your loss,
Q
