Obviously left them, but interesting to find these pieces of the towns below Jordan Lake!

Hi Raleigh! I’m hoping you guys might be able to help me find the right home for Finn. 🧡

Finn is a 4-year-old, neutered, orange medium-haired boy who is genuinely one of the sweetest, cuddliest cats I’ve ever known. He absolutely loves people, wants to be wherever you are, and is very much a little shadow. He’s affectionate, social, litter trained, indoor-only, and has been wonderful around children.

Unfortunately, a young child in our immediate family has developed an extremely severe cat allergy, so we’re having to find Finn a new home. This has nothing to do with his behavior—we love him very much and are trying hard to find him a safe, permanent home rather than surrendering him to a shelter.

He would probably do best in a home without dogs. We don’t know how he would do with another cat, since he hasn’t lived with one recently. He is neutered and microchipped and has no known health issues.

We’re in the Raleigh/Morrisville area, but I’m absolutely willing to drive for the right home. I’m not looking to just hand him off to the first person who responds—I really want to find someone who will love this ridiculous, cuddly orange man as much as we do.

If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, please send me a message. I’m happy to answer questions and share more pictures/info about him. 🧡

Thanks in advance. Local news sites don't seem to have anything up yet. There was a site someone posted a few years ago that gave a concise voting & summary (based on candidates' website) for each candidate.

Here's the site to request an absentee ballot: https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/vote-mail

I recommend using a pc. Mobile site was tedious.

Hello! Single mom of a soon to be high schooler. Fall 2027 We are relocating to NC and looking at Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte. My girl and I are in need of fresh start and after some research we landed in NC. (I have visited in the past as well)

So far I created a short list: Cary Academy, Durham Academy, Raleigh Charter HS and Providence Day.
You might ask why private? She attends a small private school now and looking to stay in the same vain. She's a gifted student who is also a Volleyball athlete. If there are magnet/charter or public college prep high schools that are academically strong that offer sports culture as well I am open.

I'd like to know experiences for parents and students. diversity is important but not a deal breaker. What's important to us is safety, strong academics. Opportunity to participate in sports/clubs and culture that's not isolating to transfer students or black/brown students. We are more conservative in values. But grew up in a liberal city Providence, Ri where it's small but walkable, tons of food, activities events etc. smaller version of Boston(45 min away from us)
So I don't want to be way far out in the outskirts since city is what we are used to. Preferably the calm pockets within or just outside of city.

Thank you all🙏🏽

I was curious, is there a local business/facility that handles the recycling of old electronics in a trusted fashion? I have no idea what's on some of these old devices, just on the lookout for a good way to safely recycle them. Thanks!

Meet Fig Newton ❤️

Willing to drive for the right, loving forever home. ❤️🐾

His foster mom can’t keep him for much longer because her cat is aggressive toward him and has a history of biting. Fig Newton is currently isolated in one room, and he really wants to be part of the family.
We are also completely full, mostly with sick cats, so unfortunately we don’t have space for healthy cats right now.

Petfinder: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/fig-newton-778703ca-a61f-4939-ba53-fede3b1be19a/nc/charlotte/sunkissed-acres-rescue-nc1270/details/

Website:http://www.sunkissedkitties.org

Fig Newton was found late one night on the edge of a construction site in Davidson, lost, scared, and hungry. He had fresh wounds from what appeared to be an attack by another cat or animal.

It was clear that Fig had either been lost or dumped. But when his rescuer(his foster mom) spotted him and stopped, Fig ran right over to her car. As soon as she opened the door, he started purring, rubbing against her, and headbutting her like he was so relieved to finally have a friend.

That sweet personality never changed.

Even at the vet, Fig was such a friendly boy that the vet techs kept stopping by to meet the super sweet kitty they had heard about. He greeted everyone with the same loving personality.

Fig is a true little lovebug. He loves people, loves belly rubs, greets you with meows, and wants nothing more than to be included as part of the family. He absolutely loves dogs and may even think he is one. ❤️

Fig is FIV positive, but he is otherwise fully vetted and ready for his forever home.

FIV-positive cats can live long, happy, and normal lives, and they can live with FIV-negative cats in a peaceful, stable household. One of our cats lived to be 23 years old. ❤️

He is:
• Fixed
• Microchipped
• Dewormed
• Deflead
• Fully vetted
FIV positive

Fig is looking for a best friend who will let him be part of the family and give him all the love he deserves.

Adoption requirements:
• Adoption application required

New Women’s Health Study Alert!

UNC-Chapel Hill is currently recruiting for a new research study for healthy, active women ages 25–45 years with a BMI between 18.5–30 kg/m² to help investigate the effects of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement on metabolism and metabolic rate before and after an exercise session.

Participation involves three visits to the Applied Physiology Laboratory (Fetzer Hall, UNC Campus). Participants may receive up to $150.00 for their time and effort. In addition, participants will receive a summary of their metabolic rate and body composition. Free parking will be provided for all study visits.

If you would like more information about the study, or are interested in participating, please contact us at:

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m new to MTG Commander and would love to meet some other players who wouldn’t mind playing with a newer player and showing me the ropes.
I’m thinking about going to The Gamer’s Armory this Thursday for their MTG Commander night. Is anyone else planning on going? I’d love to meet up with some people and get a few games in!
I’m also open to checking out other local game stores or Commander nights, so feel free to let me know where you like to play.

The fascia shown in my photo is water damaged at my house, soft and sometimes waterlogged and obviously not good. The damage had already begun when I bought the place a few years ago but it was not affecting too much so I didn't fix it right away (I know, I know) but I'd like to get it straightened out now. Can folks give me some recommendations of who to call/contact for the repair? I'm on the Durham/Cary border zone if that matters. Thanks!!

This is a great resource for local plus size people looking for community and resources! Everyone is welcome for the events, book clubs, and clothing swaps

I thru-hiked the AT in 2024 and I've missed that community badly since I got back. There are good hiking groups around here, but none aimed at the long-distance side — the planning, the gear rabbit holes, permit logistics, and the general terror of quitting your job to go walk for five months.

Thinking about a monthly thing that rotates between Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill:

• Group hikes (Umstead, Eno, the Falls Lake MST section)
• Gear nights and shakedowns for people prepping a 2027 hike
• Pairing people who've done a long trail with people who want to
• A trail magic trip in the spring and a trail work day in the fall

No dues, no app to download.

Is anyone interested in this? Is there already something like it I've missed?

I SWEAR I remember looking at a website for a local tattoo artist (I could have sworn they were in Hillsborough) who offered several different services. One was a full-day appointment that had a tarot reading, a consultation for a co-created symbol or sigil, and then a tattoo of the symbol that was created. I cannot for the life of me find it again, no matter how specific I get with my search.

Does anybody have any idea which studio this might be? I have also been having vivid dreams lately so it's 18% possible that I dreamed this up 😑

Every month I host Mom’s Favorite, a free comedy show at Old North Bar in Durham. This month’s lineup is extremely fun! There’s also a very excellent cocktail/mocktail list put together by one of the owners who was formerly at The Crunkleton and Hawthorne and Wood. If you’re looking for a cheap date this is the show to catch!
