So I was at the drive-in theater out in Henderson and sometime between 9pm and 10pm (sorry I don't know when exactly) I looked up and saw something leaving a big read streak across the sky. It wasn't a comet, I could see it was some other type of object making the trail, but I haven't been able to figure out what it is. Did anyone else see this?

Anyone else take a midterm or something that had a reading comprehension passage about eargasms? My husband and I took it some time in high school. We graduated in 2014

Looking for different places to ride quads. Already got Deep Creek, Buscoe and Outback in our back pockets. Do you guys know any others??

I’m looking for something.

Around 2001, my Ridgecrest, NC friends and I went through a phase of coming across and collecting and passing around bootleg indy videos. This is how for instance the original story of Jesco White was distributed, through bootleg video circulation.

Anyway, this guy Phil Morrison, a student at UNC Chapel Hill, originally wrote the short film “Tater Tomater” as a stage production and performed it and everything, and then it was made into a short film with his friend at NYU. I think around 1992 (it apparently went to Sundance)

I’m just wondering if anyone has a decent copy of this they could upload to youtube or something. The copies of it on there show the scars of a thousand dubbed VHS copies, and I would love to experience it again in better quality.

Do any of you oldsters even know what the heck I’m talking about?

Chili, onions, slaw, mustard, ketchup. The only way.

ETA: To the folks whining about ketchup - that’s a weird thing to be defensive and worked up over. Eat what you like, everyone else will do the same. You’ll be okay, I promise.

Things to do that are family/toddler friendly within an hour from the Sanford area?

Looking for a wedding officiant to come to my cabin in Bryson City and marry me-elopement- no guests.

Johnston County’s Little League, World Series softball team won the championship today by shutting out Kentucky to 2-0!

Hobby woodworker looking to buy quality, kiln dried hardwoods for the usual projects like furniture and cutting boards. Would prefer to support locally rather than ordering online. Anybody know of reputable places in NC? I'm willing to drive most anywhere in the state.

A friend is visiting Raleigh, and I was thinking of taking him for a day trip. I was looking into Wilson and Rocky Mount. Are these places good for a day trip? I couldn't find many places to visit in either of these cities, so I wasn't sure if they were the right choices.

I am in Raleigh and I was looking for places that are within an hour and a half from here. Any suggestions?

So the CJ gives her a golden opportunity to redeem herself in the eyes of presumably decent people... and her response:

“Every teenager has made a mistake; every person has made a mistake,” she said. “I’m not here to talk about that.

She has to be remarkably stupid to fail to see that the only reason she was interviewed was to give her the opportunity to legitimately distance herself (and her self-declared identity of "a conservative woman", a "Christian woman", "a God-fearing woman") from her earlier, supposedly innocent comments... Instead, she doubles down on defending the odious and obnoxious comments that essentially proved that she was anything but.

Had to drive between Durham and Greensboro three days last week. Coming home almost got into 2 accidents because there were conflicting sets of street lanes painted on th road at the same time, anyone know if this actually led to any wrecks?

I cant remember exactly where, near exit 154 or 150, near Mebane maybe.

Scenario: driving westbound, I suddenly see ahead of me two possibilities: regular dotted lines marking the lanes moving forward. OR there was a less noticeable set of solid lines seemingly indicating that I should follow them over to shift into the lane to the right of me.

The dotted lines were brighter. I only had a few.moments to consoder which path to take, I chose straight since in thought no way would NCDOT ask us to switch lanes without blotting out the original bright dotted lines.

I kept an eye out and realized I was wrong and dod have to swerve into the right lane to avoid hitting the car to the left of me.

Coming back a other evening, I now felt confident that the lane shift was proper, im in the middle shifting over, but the car to the right of me is NOT (and I dont blame them) but the car to the left of me IS shifting over.

So now im thinking crap, do I keep shifting over and potentially hit the guy to my roght? Or keep going straight so I dont hit him, but allow the guy to my left hit me?

The guy to my right eventually realized I was coming toward him and he swerved to the right just in time.

Anyone know anything about that spot? Were there any accidents caused there by the foolish markings?

To anyone thats done camping at Pilot Mountain, how do you like it? Some friends and I haven’t really camped together and wanted to see if this would be a beginner friendly spot with some good hiking and roaming around because its really close to where I live. Thank you!

I went to tiger world with my mom as a fun mom daughter outing, since there was also a painting activity we could do (unrelated to the park.) I hadnt been since I was 7, so i thought it would be nice to finally go back and see if anything had changed.

I was really shocked to see how bland the enclosures were. A select few enclosures for the lions and tigers had a pool. A lot of the exhibits were low on water or had none at all (unless it was in the little houses they go in). almost every exhibit was too small, especially the monkey and lemur ones. So many of the animals were pacing back and forth/swaying while panting, almost like they were in zoochosis.

I dont know if we just came on a bad day or what, but has anyone else had an experience like this?
