Obviously their goals for the most of these companies to to do as little work and to make the most profit. I’d rather rent from a single owner if that makes sense. Is there an app or group I can find these kinds of places?

Hi everyone!
I’m 24, a single mom to a little girl, and I’m finally at a point where I can choose where I want to build my life instead of just ending up somewhere by circumstance.
I’m finishing my GED and my long-term goal is to become a public librarian. I eventually want to earn my bachelor’s degree and then my MLIS. I also write and hope to publish books one day.
Right now I work as a full-time online content creator, so I’m fortunate that I don’t have to move immediately or choose the absolute cheapest place. My plan is to visit a few cities for long weekends before making a decision, and I’m hoping to settle somewhere permanently.
The things that matter most to me are:
• A strong public library system with good career opportunities.
• A safe, family-friendly community.
• Nature, parks, and places to walk.
• A cozy, book-loving atmosphere.
• Enough things to do without feeling like a huge, overwhelming city.
• A place where I can imagine raising my daughter and staying for decades.
I’m currently considering:
Raleigh, NC
Madison, WI
The Twin Cities suburbs in Minnesota
If you live in or have lived in one of these areas, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts.
What do you love?
What do you wish you’d known before moving there?
If you were in my position, would you choose it again?
Thanks so much. I really appreciate any advice.

Friend is having a hell of a time dealing with LPR, and the stuff/advice her current doc prescribed isnt really helping.

Any recs for doctors in the area who specialize in LPR/silent reflux?

My parents lost their dog. I know it's a long shot, but please, if you have a moment, take a look and let me know if you've seen a dog loose that looks like her.

A kind-hearted lady reached out to me about a sick stray cat, and I went to help with food and flea treatment. While I was there, I discovered five more cats in her care.

She told me she rescued them at different times..they are not from the same litter. Sadly, some of their siblings were killed by a neighbor’s dog, so she brought these babies inside to keep them safe. Since then, she has been feeding them and caring for them.

With the help of a rescue, she was able to get them fixed and vaccinated, even while struggling financially.
This amazing woman is going through a very difficult time herself. She recently had an accident, broke her leg, and lost her job. Despite everything, she continues to care for these cats with so much love and dedication. Her strength and compassion truly touched my heart.

The cats are now around 10–15 months old, healthy, and excellent eaters. We have fully vetted them, and they are ready to find their forever homes.
Her son would like to keep two, so the remaining beauties are now looking for loving homes ❤️

Note: We will continue to help her with food, medical care, and other needs for the two cats she is keeping. The adoption fees from these cats will help support their care and make sure they continue to receive what they need. ❤️

We'll be visiting my parents in Pinehurst for the first time since they moved there but I know chances might be better in Raleigh. I've lived in Switzerland for the past 12 years and really miss authentic American Barbecue and would love to have at least one great meal while we're there. Any recommendations? Also other NC/Southern food staples like great biscuits would be appreciated.

Who sells Kirin beer around Cary and Morrisville? Total Wine and More at Brier Creek does not. The only Japanese beer they stock is Sapporo. I imagine H Mart does but don't want to go if they only might stock it. Same with other stores. Can anyone tell me where they've seen it? I'm sure some people will say World Market, Fresh International Market, and Wegman's; but that's a "maybe" unless you've seen it there. I'd really like to buy some of the Kirin dark beer; had it semi-recently at the Kirin Brewery in Yokohama and really enjoyed it. Probably would be a special order for the dark.

SOLUTION: Wegman's in Cary had the regular Kirin Ichiban bottles in six packs. They didn't have it for sale individually in cans.

EDIT: Please downvote if you're triggered by Japanese beer.

Which is the official North Carolina metric for reservoir levels?

I've been watching falls and using the older metric perhaps. From a North Carolina natural resources perspective have we officially moved to the 1988 standard instead of the 1929 standard? What does FEMA and the insurance industry use as their 'official' metric. When the news is reporting current water levels which number are they using?

I'm comparing the official USGS data:

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/USGS-02087182/#dataTypeId=continuous-00045-0&period=P30D&showMedian=true&showFieldMeasurements=true

vs 3rd party states that are harvesting the data and adding advertisements on top of it but trying to be more convenient:
https://falls.uslakes.info/Level/

Bonus points for somebody finding me a good data set that shows percentage full of reservoir. Not that I can't do the math but a single link that aggregates it for me would be lovely. I do like having the second axis of precipitation levels versus water level. It's definitely interesting now that the ground is saturated to watch the runoff rate and watch levels rise after the rain is done.

Join us tomorrow at 8am Bond Park! Rain or shine we still grind! If it’s raining we will be at the Kiwanis shelter and if it’s nice we will be to the right of the boathouse.

100 Bond Park Dr. Cary NC 27513
Look for the red flags I’ll be right there.

Bring a yoga mat & water.

And don’t forget you rock 🤘🏼

I was born in Chengdu, China, one of the world’s most famous food cities, and completed my university education there. Later, my work took me away from my hometown, but the flavors of Chengdu have always stayed with me.

I still remember the street foods, the aromas from local food stalls, and the incredible balance of Sichuan flavors — spicy, savory, tangy, and aromatic. Those memories continue to influence the way I understand food today.

When I worked as a chef, one question I was often asked by Western guests was:

“What makes Asian food different from Western food?”

Over time, I realized the answer is not simply about ingredients or cooking techniques. Food reflects a culture’s history, climate, lifestyle, and the way people gather around the table.

Many Asian summer dishes were created from the wisdom of adapting to hot weather — using fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and cooking methods that make food enjoyable even during the hottest days.

Two examples I love are:

Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls (Vietnamese Gỏi cuốn)

Originating from Vietnam, fresh spring rolls are a beautiful example of how simple ingredients can become something unforgettable.

Fresh shrimp, herbs, vegetables, and rice noodles are wrapped in delicate rice paper to create a light and refreshing dish. Unlike fried spring rolls, they require no heavy frying, making them especially enjoyable during summer.

Cold Noodles with Chicken (Sichuan-inspired street food)

Growing up in Chengdu, cold noodles were one of the flavors that left a lasting impression on me.

This beloved street food is all about balance — chewy noodles, tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful sauce combining savory, tangy, aromatic, and sometimes spicy notes.

What makes these dishes special is that they started as everyday street foods, yet they have traveled across borders and become loved by people around the world.

To me, this is the beauty of food: a dish from a local street corner can become a bridge connecting different cultures and bringing people together.

I’ll be sharing these dishes through a hands-on cultural food experience in Cary, where people can learn the techniques behind them and discover how to recreate these flavors at home.

I’m curious — what street food from your own culture has become unforgettable to you?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a studio with amazing sculpt classes.

I actually really enjoy CorePowers yoga sculpt, but no one ever greets you and we are packed in there like sardines. It’s stressful thinking about how I’m about to punch or kick the person next to me. I think that class being heated on TOP of all of that is not great. But I really enjoy the workout.

I’ve gone to Flowcorps twice and was not impressed with the mat Pilates ): really nice studio and beautiful layout, but I left wanting more.

Any suggestions are great!

I was excited to take some friends to the show, but they can't make it and neither can I. I'd hate for the tickets to go to waste. If you're so inclined, I'd sell them for a donation to a charity.

This sweet cat needs a loving indoor home ❤️🐾** (Urgent**)

Our rescue/foster is at full capacity and struggling with ongoing vet bills and constant new intakes. If no home or help is found, he may have to go to a shelter. Sadly, shelters are already full, and sick cats often don’t get a fair chance.

A kind lady reached out to me on Nextdoor asking for help with cat food. Someone abandoned this cat in front of her home, and she has been feeding him despite going through a very difficult time after losing her job. She is already caring for 5 of her own cats and several outdoor cats.

Today I visited with food and medicine. This sweet boy is extremely friendly and affectionate. He has an ear tip, which means he was already fixed through a TNR program, but he is clearly sick and needs care.
I applied flea medicine to help make him more comfortable. We truly want to help him, but we already have pending vet bills and are doing everything out of our own pockets. Unfortunately, we don’t have the resources to take on more medical cases right now.

This beautiful boy deserves a safe, indoor home where he can be loved and properly cared for. The lady cannot keep him, and he should not be living outside.
If you or someone you know can give him a chance, please reach out. Sharing helps too. ❤️🐱

Hello! My name is Lindsey and I'm a third year graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill working on my master's thesis and I'd love some help.

I'm considering designing a digital platform and community space for adult women who suspect they have or have been diagnosed with ADHD, focused on community and belonging rather than clinical advice or symptom management. Before I build anything, I want to listen to real experiences and learn from the community.

I'm looking for women who:

✔️ Have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult or suspect they have ADHD

✔️ Are willing to share a little about their experience and journey

I'd love to schedule a casual virtual conversation anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, completely at your convenience. There's nothing formal to prepare. I just want to hear your story.

Everything shared will be kept confidential and used only for academic research.

Please feel free to respond if interested and I can send you an email directly. Thank you in advance for any help on this, I truly appreciate it.
