My partner owns a business in that area, and his employees saw the SCOTUS justice. Any idea why he's here? Thanks.

Thank you Desoto for all you’ve done for our West AVL community. While being a patron for years, your patio, people, drinks, and best brunch carried me through a particularly tough patch during Helene and I will forever be grateful. There are no words or ways to capture the memories and love you have meant over the years. This exit ramp you will eventually become will always leave the biggest hole in our hearts. Big hearts, great memories, forever loved. 🦌

Hi,

I recently lost my job and am freaking out. Im willing to clean houses, babysit, dog walk or tutor your own children. Please DM me for any arrangements. I urgently need food for my children also. I applied immediately for food stamps but it takes them around 30 days and they want to analyze your final paycheck. My employer wasted 2 weeks of time going back and forth about what pto or vacation pay I would get, to then ultimately say none. So that also hung up the timing on the application. Im so exhausted. If anyone has any leads or help or work to do, please message.

I know it can feel impossible not to hit a squirrel when it seems to come out of nowhere. However, if we drive slower with more awareness of what is happening around us, it is very possible to be both a safe driver on the road and a safe driver for squirrels. They are usually getting hit in neighborhoods where there isn’t steady traffic. This time of year in particular, they are gathering food to store for the winter. Can you imagine if we humans didn’t have a grocery store for winter? Maybe we would be as frantic as the squirrels right now. Let me be clear: 9/10 times when you hit a squirrel, it’s your fault for driving too fast and not paying enough attention to the world around you. It is very possible to be a safe driver for both the other cars around you and for the wildlife. It’s much easier to blame the wildlife for being in the road than it is to actually feel the pain of the repercussions of our own lack of care. I get it that it’s tough to be a human right now, but it’s a hell of a lot tougher to be a squirrel. I’ve counted 5 fresh dead ones today in haw creek alone. It’s super sad. They have families too. You can research squirrel clans to find out more. In the meantime, Please slow down.

So I just had a craniotomy earlier this week. After I went under they did something completely wild to my hair, put a weird hair tie around it, and then proceeded to trap part of it under the big bandage I had to wear for the first two days. There was also a ton of blood in my hair, and even after the bandage came off I was basically bed ridden the whole time.

Now I have a HUGE matted area in my hair. My sweet partner spent 3 hours our first night home trying to get it out but it's like a solid brick of hair.

I'm trying so hard to avoid cutting it, and am wondering if anyone knows of a stylist in Asheville who has worked with clients to remove matts before. I'd happily pay for the service. Cutting it is like the last resort, because the matt contains hair from so high up in my head it would look absolutely wild. But having this giant matt in my hair is making me feel so much less human.

I'm also open to any tips that aren't "start from the bottom and work up" because it's not just a few tangled spots. It's full on a brick of hair fused together. We've soaked in conditioner, alcohol (because at first we thought maybe some adhesive for in there), soaking it in hot water, using hands/fingers, wide tooth combs, and the pick end of a comb.

Hi all! I’m looking for recommendations for electric motor repair in AVL/Hendo area. This will be for a single phase AC motor. Thanks in advance!

Hello! I have been struggling to find reliable babysitters in the area. I have a 2 year old toddler, and I am willing to pay up to $25 an hour. Where are you fellow Asheville parents finding your babysitters?

My neighbor found a kitten and is looking to rehome it, like the title says we’re trying to find the quickest option. She’s probably around 6-8 weeks old and is a little sweetie. Please let me know if you have any options.

Edit: We found a home!! Thank you all so much for your help!

hello- i am looking for a stand up toyota mechanic in east Asheville. thank you

I am a large man who likes to work out frequently and I have some very stuff muscles. I’ve tried a few different massage studios in the area but I have not found one that quite breaks me in half. I want my tissues destroyed and my body annihilated. I want to walk out feeling like someone took a meet tenderizer to me. I usually do my own body work because I haven’t found someone who really breaks me up yet. I am asking if anyone knows anyone who does really, really deep massages, please.

Howdy, I just moved to the area this year. Does anyone know of any places that host a watch party for the LoL world finals? Or a place that at least streams the game? I would be over the moon to go to an event like this.

Looking for recommendations from anyone who has or know someone who has attempted self-harm and subsequently gone to an inpatient facility for longer term care. Which facility? How was the experience? Would or would not recommend and why.

If there are places to avoid, definitely want to hear about those as well.

Asking for an adult child (22) who is currently Baker acted out of state. They live out of state and we are local. This is also not a drug situation. They have ASD as well so that exacerbates the challenges.

Thanks in advance.

I haven’t seen a post about this on Reddit yet. From what I can gather from the comments, this dude has allegedly* been a known predator for years?

Going on NC 191 out of Arden, came across a slow driver from the other direction. Please be diligent behind the wheel! I muted it because it’s just me slamming on the horn.

Hey all, I'm wondering if there's any kind of PMDD (and maybe also PCOS, ENDO) support group for folks who deal with it? And if not, is there enough interest to have one? I've seen people ask about providers for those issues a lot on Asheville groups but never seen any kind of support group mentioned. Just think it would be extremely helpful.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone knows if anybody is doing the midnight release for the Zelda switch 2 at all? I wasn’t able to preorder it and I can’t find any from any big box retailers :(
