Spectrum Outage

I understand internet period can just crap out but I've been a Spectrum customer since 2022 and they're hands down the worst service provider I've had. Everywhere I've lived when there's been an outage it takes them practically the whole day to figure out what's wrong it seems like. Also, the cost is NOT worth the service. With that said; which provider in this area is better cost and service wise that I can switch over to sooner than later?

EMDR Therapist I met on a plane...

I was travelling to Connecticut in February and a therapist was seated next to me. We had a long conversation about my panic disorder and her EMDR practice. I can't find her business card but I'm hoping someone will know her. She's in Raleigh, doesn't take insurance, and specializes in EMDR. Her website had a clever name I wish I could remember.

Any ideas? I tried Google and none of the 30+ names of EMDR therapists looked familiar.

Pools Are Opening: Swimsuit Safety

It's summer soon! Remember that children's bathing suits should always be a super bright neon color! The safest colors are orange, green, yellow, and pink. Neon pink is for pools, not lakes. I'm talking blindingly bright neon.

Silent drowning is very serious. Aesthetics don't matter when it comes to child safety. Dress them for their needs, not your pictures. In the same vein, the more neon cloth, the easier it is to spot! Full one piece, rash guards, etc. Two pieces are adorable, but more coverage is better for safety!

Great Blue Herons -

Here is a few shots from around the area. Best location is always Jordan lake tailrace in Moncure after some heavy rains. Herons put on a show. 20-30 of them lined up on either side.

This is going to be my very first time attending Animazement. I’m super excited but going solo, so I’d love to find some people to hang out and explore the con floor with! Also, since I'm a first-timer, any must-know tips or unwritten rules for this con?

Drop a comment or shoot me a DM if you want to group up or grab a bite together. Hope to see some of you there!

A Short Rant about Buffaloe Road, specifically going towards 540

Hi folks! Hope everyone’s doing well. I’m not. I’m currently stuck on stopped traffic one mile from 540 heading that way. I’m aware that there is A LOT of land for development out this way, but with all the houses being built, the Publix, the houses right before the entrance/ exit how in the world are they building all of this without the infrastructure to support all this traffic?? It is a single lane road from Buffaloe athletic park all the way up until you get to the Publix and it is single handily the worst stretch of road I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with this and I’ve lived in Las Vegas in the extremely high traffic areas. Sometimes traffic is backed up so bad it takes half an hour to get out of my neighborhood. Anyone else stuck here with me/ hear of any developments to fix this issue? Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe

The way I busted out laughing. Tell me I’m missing something

Why is half dozen way more expensive than the dozen. And what are these prices in the first place? No decorations or anything, just chocolate and strawberries.

Looking for an engagement photographer

Hello! My fiance and I are looking to do an engagement photo shoot (hopefully sometime soon) and are looking for some photographer recommendations. We’re very in love with the idea of doing a 80s Hong Kong Wedding inspired photo shoot with a more vintage/film feel (I included some pictures for reference) so I’m really looking for a photographer who shoots good candid shots or has a less traditional feel. But I’m open to anyone who would be as excited as we are about this shoot!

What's the history around the area south of Umstead?

I am a very frequent runner/walker of Reedy Creek Rd (and trail), and live very close by so I'm always driving through there or Ebenezer Church Rd.

It feels like it has a lot of very unique features: NC State's horse farm (and goat farm on the other side of 40), Schenck Forest (also owned by NC State I think?), that massive Bandwidth office, a couple of very nice but very small neighborhoods that presumably cut into what used to be Umstead, one random privately owned (?) farm with horses in between Umstead and NC State's horse farm, two separate quarries, a reservoir (owned by the city perhaps?), and the "secret" parking-less entrance into Umstead from Reedy Creek.

Anyway, while I'm running/driving/walking around these roads and trails, I often find myself wondering about some of these seemingly unique little features and dynamics. I feel like this area must have some cool history that would be interesting to dive into. If anyone has any interesting tidbits or anything, I'd love to hear and read more!

Dating? Young professional

In my early/mid twenty's and recently moved here post break up. Personally, I hate swiping on the apps and would love to meet someone organically or at an event.

Are there any singles events or speed dating options or any places to go?

Does anyone know any good comic book stores in the area?

Relatively niche question but I’m hoping at least one of you has some recommendations.

Lost Cat in Raleigh Area

Lost Cat in Raleigh Area

My friend’s cat is Maple, she’s female, about 10 months old. She is an indoor/outdoor cat. She is microchipped. I am currently cat sitting for a friend who is abroad.

Maple normally doesn’t go too far from the house but this morning when I came back to check on the cats, Maple wasn’t there. Her airtag location pinged 4 miles away by Walnut Creek Trail off of Garner Road and wasn’t updating(see 2nd & 3rd photo).

I went and looked for her on the greenway and in the forest close by but couldn’t find her although the airtag said she was there. The airtag also wasn’t able to play the sound.

I will probably be cross posting on several different groups as well!! Please message me with any info or sightings.

What's the best place to sell trading cards as a casual collector who doesn't want to be screwed over but also if just not interested in the resale game politics?

Apparently according to a friend I have some decent cards from when I was a kid and I'm trying to buff up my saving, but I just am not a serious collector* and know nothing about who has a good reputation among sellers and idt my buyer experience would translate over.

I know of these places in Raleigh or nearby:

Game Theory

Hidden Block

Magpie and Crow

And I have the business cards of a few people who come in for cons and know of the collector's expo that happens at the state fair ground, but was hoping for some first hand experience or just general tips.

*My current collections are a Pokedex collection, two artists I like, and an alt form Pokedex. Literally any card will do for the first and last collection as long as it is of the pokemon and the two artists aren't super popular/only recently because popular I just like their styles. But I would take a messed up card for them as long as the art was still decent.

Experience with Greystar properties in the triangle ?

I’m interested in moving to The Slater apartments (I know it’s in morrisville, but the morrisville sub is dead) but I’m concerned since it has recently been taken over by Greystar. I’m just curious if anyone has had any noteworthy experiences with Greystar in the triangle, as most reviews I’ve seen are in other states.
