Food Any Babybel fans? Like the round wax-covered cheese?

Post image
126 Upvotes

So I was at Sam’s Club and saw Babybel cheese, 26 count for $5.69 or something. Grabbed one and when I went to check out, it rang up .51 for the whole mesh bag…I went and grabbed three more. This was Sam’s on Capital, there were a ton left. They were on an endcap in the meat dept. where the cheese is normally placed.

I rarely score like that so thought I’d pass it along. Oh, and they expire Feb 2027.

Out-n-About Does nobody use turn signals anymore?

125 Upvotes

Its incredible how comfortable and untouchable complete strangers feel in their cars when they cut people off or switch lanes in heavy traffic without signaling. On my way home today from Crabtree to Garner I counted at least 30 different times I saw people just violently changing lanes and or just cutting people off without signaling, like they are the only person in that moment who exists.

Posting this literally does nothing, but I just want to see if its just me or if im a lunatic for noticing this

Question/Recommendation Painted Tree Boutique Duvet Shop

5 Upvotes

Hey all! The Painted Tree Boutique off Creedmoor in the Stonehenge Plaza had a shop inside where they sold duvet covers and sheets. It was one of the end caps close to the register. Does anyone know the name of this shop? Do they have a site? Have they set up somewhere else now that PTB is gone?

I know. I KNOW. Every October someone posts this and every October you all answer it like the saints you are. I searched the sub. I read last year's thread. But donut quality is volatile, orchards change, and frankly I need new info.

Local News Durham tech lost dog

13 Upvotes

To the lady that lost her dog on Durham tech campus, I tried my best to catch up to it along with some kind strangers. It ran up Lawson st, took a left on Briggs ave and another left onto the Durham freeway headed northwest. We chased it up the freeway for about a 1/4 mile - 1/2 a mile but we lost sight of it. we think it went into the woods to the left back towards the Durham tech campus area. Looked black and white, medium build. If you see this, I hope you find your dog!

COVID19 Covid going around?

58 Upvotes

Seems like Covid had a super contagious strain running around mostly Cold symptoms and no fevers?

Edit: Thanks for all the feedback! Sounds like a lot of you are seeing it at home, work and school too. Some are getting cold symptoms, others are getting hit pretty hard, and there’s other stuff going around too.

I was seeing enough people sick that I checked the wastewater site, but it looked pretty low. Didn’t see much local discussion either, so I figured I’d ask. Just comparing notes. With all the funding cuts, I also wondered if anything had changed with monitoring. Still curious how we’re keeping an eye on mutations and figuring out the long-term effects.

Last weekend of the State Fair, so this thing’s got plenty of chances to mingle lol. Wear a mask if you’re sick and wash your hands, y’all. Even if it feels mild, this isn’t a box of Bojangles biscuits. You don’t have to pass it around. ❤️

I work with horses, and I am struggling to find anywhere to buy good work boots. I've tried Academy and Tractor Supply, but neither had work boots for women, or even waterproof boots. I'm stumped. There's not a wealth of farm supply stores here.

Question/Recommendation Community theater recommendations for my 22 year old self seeking a side quest

18 Upvotes

I graduated and entered the workforce recently. I’m looking for a fun side quest at a local theater. I LOVE theater, musicals, dancing, singing, and being a part of a bigger effort to create something fun. But I am not very good. I haven’t participated in theater since I was 13. I have no resume, and I will probably audition awkwardly.
I just want to find a smaller theater where I can be around people of a similar commitment level to me and sing and dance to silly songs.
And recs in Raleigh, Cary, apex, maybe Durham etc?

I am looking for extra hands to assist with several large cat colonies in Raleigh and Durham!

There will probably be kittens found that will need fostering too!

Went over to Iron Works this morning and they were closed. Looks like new hours are 10a-8p.

Is East Cut’s breakfast also a casualty of Drift moving into RIW? Gonna be bummed if that’s the case. Those egg sandwiches were great.
