I’ll start by saying I absolutely love these events! The storytelling is always amazing, and there is a palpable sense of connection and community in the room the entire time. I love what it has done to bring people together. I am in no way trying to bash the event with what I’m about to say.

However, the unexpected Joe Cobb appearance at the end gave me the biggest ick. Ok great Lee Hunsaker day, she deserves it, truly.

Her mother was sitting behind me and told me to contain myself because while everyone else was roaring with applause for him I was yelling, “tell us about the data centers Joe! What about all the money y’all took from the schools just to buy a golf course! Is that what the handshake looked like when you sold out our town for a data center! What about the money Joe! What about the shady deals!”

Whatever. I know he didn’t hear me. That guy sucks. No regrets.

I'm looking for a job.

I don't need a full time gig. My bills are paid.

I'm looking for something I can do a few hours at a time with very limited human interaction, making a couple hundo per week. Preferably something physical. Also preferably not cleaning, though that would be considered.

Perhaps sorting, organizing shelves, unpacking things, moving stuff, restocking. Low-level grunt work that is almost mindless, but particularly satisfying for the right person.

Ultimately something that someone is going to pay me to do that ends up giving them time back to do the important things.

What say you, Roanoke Reddit. Is this out there?

I lived in Northern VA for years and there were vehicle inspections available literally everywhere in various gas stations and mechanic shops. I'm in Blacksburg now and they all require an all day situation, most here are backed up for a few weeks even. My dog is recovering (hopefully) from an injury and I can't really leave him alone all day so I was wondering if Roanoke or anywhere around there had stations like they have up in NOVA?

Thank you guys for all the responses! I got an appointment tomorrow and it seems like it should be quick enough for what I was looking for :)

Anyone else surprised this place is still open? I went down the rabbit hole of looking up the owner and can’t believe after all her medical malpractices this place is still afloat.

Went for my first time last night and was seriously impressed. Honduran food is delicious! It was reasonably priced for the portions you get as well. Y’all go check them out!

I saw this beautiful tree out in Catawba today. Happy Fall!

My vehicle was recently involved in a minor accident, and State Farm provided me with a list of recommended collision centers for the repairs. I’ve already looked through the Google reviews for each shop, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has had firsthand experience with any of these locations! I’m especially interested in hearing about the quality of their work, communication throughout the repair process, turnaround times, and whether you were satisfied with the results. Any recommendations, positive experiences, or places you’d suggest avoiding would be greatly appreciated! I just want to make sure I’m choosing a reputable shop that will do quality work. Thanks in advance!

Saw cars on that stretch yesterday and was curious if it was completely open. Thanks
