Just an fyi for y’all, Duke main is on divert due to flooding in the hospital, so if you’re seeking care be aware they are not seeing as many patients/any at all!

Selling 2 tickets to Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets in concert at Durham Performing Arts Center JANUARY 31st.

My girlfriend and I bought eachother the exact same gift for Christmas, tickets to this show! Unfortunately they are non-refundable so we are looking to sell two tickets.

$95 each / $190 total. (Section 5)

I knocked off the fees because no one actually wants to pay those. Message me if you’re interested, I’ll take Venmo & can transfer directly through Ticketmaster.

This feels more like Covid to me than walking pneumonia that is supposed to be more “mild” hence it being called “walking” pneumonia. Today is day 3 and things have peaked. Covid tests still negative. Today things were manageable enough with temp like 99.5 all day (vs 101.5 last night). I have sore throat, sneezing, coughing up light yellow mucus, and headache. Still have chest pain but that’s from coughing I think. I had that when I had covid in 2022. BP is normal, oxygen normal, HR stays at about 95. Temp all over the place tonight (currently 100.5) but I’m now taking Tylenol and ibuprofen. WHEWWWW guys. I’m not looking for medical advice, I already saw 2 doctors. One said take antibiotics tomorrow if not improving, which I will. I was too exhausted to go to pharmacy but friend is going for me tomorrow. It’s just 2 am and I can’t sleep and feel awful. I took 500 mg Tylenol and 200 mg ibuprofen a bit ago so waiting for them to kick in so I can sleep. Just hydrated a ton. Somehow all your messages last time helped me feel like I’m going to be ok lol I hate being sick so much 😭

Has anyone seen any cuccidati at all in the triangle this season? It seems like we’re lacking a true old school Italian bakery which is a bit surprising considering the amount of transplants from up north here, my folks included. Would love to be proven wrong though 🙏

Hey y'all! I'm in the area for a few days and I'm looking to grab some nice whole bean coffee from a local spot. Are Counter Culture, Black and White, and Little Waves still considered the best local roasters? Anywhere else you'd recommend?

Happy (well caffeinated) new years!

Started feeling off on Christmas Eve, but it’s kicked in now. Feel like absolute shit with fatigue, chest congestion, and coughing. No headache, body aches, stomach issues, or fever yet (temp is slowly climbing though, it’s usually around 97 for me, it’s 99 now). Not even lots of nasal congestion. Just seems localized to chest with this cough that’s giving me coughing fits so hard, I almost puke. Covid test is negative, doesn’t seem like flu or cold. RSV or bronchitis maybe? I work from home so I won’t be leaving the house at all until it’s gone

ETA: i’ve decided I’m gonna go ahead and go to the doctor today and I’m gonna get tested for both flus and make sure I don’t have any type of walking pneumonia. I have a son too so I’d rather know now what’s going on to avoid it getting worse and getting us meds if we need it

UPDATE: doc thinks it is walking pneumonia based on symptoms and exam. Lungs are currently clear but it can be diagnosed even if x ray is clear. I got antibiotics just in case

Anyone have any recommendations for someone that details/cleansing cars. Preferably someone who comes to you but willing to drop off.

Any experienced and trustworthy realtor recommendations? Preferably based on personal experience. Thank you.

Does anyone have experience with walk in passport appointments in the triangle area for first time passport applications and can share their experience? Thanks

Hi everyone - I’m looking to book some sort of experience for my parents. They love ciders but not really wine and beer. I’m hoping to get them a gift where they can go somewhere and try ciders or do a tour. It doesn’t necessarily have to be within the triangle but somewhere they could drive to from Raleigh within a day.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm an Asian American male currently living in DMV looking to move to the RTP. I am visiting the triangle to check the vibes and had an interesting encounter with a hotel staff and wanted to know if something like this is common for people who are of different ethnicity other than white or black living/visiting the triangle.

Today, I am checking in to a hotel and one of the front desk workers asks me if I play an instrument. I said no and the worker tells me I look like a famous cellist who stayed at this hotel before. She shows me a picture and it's an Asian guy who is at least 20 years older and looks nothing like me. I laugh it off, make a joke out of it and go about my day. Later on I run into the same worker again in the lobby and she asks me if I'm from China (I am not). At this point I'm a bit irked but I play it cool since I know she wasn't intentionally trying to be offensive.

I haven't had these type of encounters since I lived in Ohio where there aren't many Asians. I would have expected it'd be different in the Triangle where there's more diversity. This was a hotel in Durham (don't want to name and shame since the worker was legitimately nice). I know when people say things like this they don't mean any harm and just trying to make conversations, but I can't help but feel that I don't belong. Why do they have to assume I have to originally be from somewhere? (I was born in the US).

It's making me second guess moving here. Something like this is unheard of in the DMV area. Anybody have encounters like this in the Triangle as an Asian or other ethnicities?

Okay, so I haven’t paid my registration in two years. I simply couldn’t afford it. My car broke down recently and a friend was kind enough to give me a new used vehicle at an affordable price for me. Im junking the old car for a couple hundred since it’s too expensive to fix and the repairs cost more than the worth of the car. But now I’m concerned about registration on the new vehicle. My insurance said I may need to inform the DMV about cancelling the registration on the old vehicle. Will I need to pay the owed amount to register my new vehicle? Does that have to be done at the same time? Is there payment plan options? I just moved to the area recently and am unfamiliar with the way the DMV works here. So far, it’s very different than where I came from and the website is very hard to navigate and unhelpful.

Appreciate some kind and nonjudgmental advice here. I’ve been hit with a lot of medical problems the past few years and the bills have just been overwhelming. I didn’t mean for it to get this out of hand.

This is such a random question, but I recently got my first helix done (double) + fourth lobes and all of them were less painful than my third lobes. It was almost painless. She used some sort of lubricant to help it pass quickly, and she was also just quick in general. Does anyone know of piercers that use it? I’ve been to multiple piercers here, but that one lady just beat them all. She was in Puerto Rico, otherwise I’d just go back to her.

I went on my usual post Christmas clearance outing and I was kinda underwhelmed by Target and Home Depot. Target had a few ornaments but nothing like last year and there were literally no sausage and cheese boxes. Home Depot had a few strings of lights and that's it. Hobby Lobby was pretty good!

What other places do you recommend?

I am looking for part time evening or weekend Screen Printing, Embroidery or Vinyl Graphics work in the Triangle or surrounding area. I emailed a few places with no response so I figured I can try a broader approach. I have years of experience in the Screen Printing and Custom Apparel/Graphics field and am looking for some extra work to supplement my full time income. Anyone know of any such business hiring? Any leads would help. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to assist someone with figuring out where they can get affordable winter coats and clothing for their younger children. They are not from this area, and where they live they don’t have as many resources as we do here.

I figured I’d help them out while they are in the area for a few days this week.

Thanks in advance! Merry Christmas :)

Edit: Just realized my grammar here is awful. In my defense, I just got back home from a long overnight Amtrak ride!

Looking for oysters! Extra credit points if they have a happy hour.

We’re near pittsboro but willing to travel

Thank you in advance : )

Considering a move from Boston to Durham, would appreciate advice from those who have relocated from Massachusetts. I work in Software development and wife in healthcare. What

Does anyone know of an indoor pool that I could go to relax and float in? I'm 8 months pregnant and kinda feeling miserable. I don't want to do exercise classes or swim laps. Just want to feel weightless for a bit.

I'm in my 20s, single and considering moving to the area, either Raleigh or Durham. I heard the area has a lot of married people so i'm not sure how much night life there is here or how the dating scene is like.

Are there a lot of bars or clubs or a lot of cool activities going on during the day? What do people generally do in their evenings or on weekends?

This is apparently the name of the common white looking mushrooms you see around here and I think my dog might’ve eaten one

My hobbies are a mix of physical activities + relaxing so: hiking, rock climbing, gym and trivia, watching movies, concerts, going out to clubs
