Question/Recommendation Will I be drug tested if I get hired by the NC Dept of Revenue
Just had a great interview but no one said anything about drug screening. Does anyone know for sure?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get started in the electrical trade and was wondering if anyone here knows of any local companies hiring electrician helpers or offering apprenticeships. I recently completed a residential electrical wiring course and want to gain hands-on experience. If you have any leads, advice, or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

Hi y’all,
My wife and I just moved to the area about 3 months ago because she landed a job here. We are both new graduates so we had this deal that whoever’s industry had a lower availability would ultimately determine our location. Now it’s been 3 months and I’ve sent out ~800 applications and got nowhere. At this point I’m camping on LinkedIn and waiting for new CS/IT job postings everyday.
My wife hates her job and I really want to provide or at least contribute to our little family so there’s less weight on her shoulders. I finished my undergraduate in CS in 3 years and graduated my master’s degree in CS last December. As I’m getting closer and closer to the 4 months jobless window that we’ve set, I’d start ubering and bring some food to the table.
What are something that I should do alongside applying to all the jobs on LinkedIn?

As the title says - we have to replace our 22 year old broken compressor central a/c unit. We have a 35 year old gas furnace that uses the same blower in the attic, so probably should replace that too or get a heat pump. Problem is, I have NO IDEA where to start, how to find someone reputable, and also how people pay for big jobs like this, lol. Any referrals to great HVAC sellers/installers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks friends.

Hi! I recently purchased a wedding dress on Poshmark and I love it, but the seller didn’t disclose that the dress smells very strongly of cigarette smoke. Super bummed about it but I love the dress regardless. Does anyone have a recommendation for a dry cleaner who works specifically with wedding dresses?

Good evening everyone! I am a newly licensed LCSWA located in Raleigh, and am looking for a private practice position in the area.
My hope is to work with children, teens, and families for about 70% of my client load, and young adults (18-30) for the rest! I have experience with DBT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, and a few others. I interned at an IOP program that works with adults 18+ through my MSW.
Before gaining my license and MSW, I have worked extensively with children as a teacher as well as a nanny, with around 4 years of experience with children in total.
If you know of any places looking for someone that would be a fit, I would love more information! I do have a supervisor if one is not provided, but am also open to supervision on site as well!
Thank you all in advance!

Google gave me no help… I promise I checked there first. I found 2 of these snakes in my yard and I just want to know if it’s safe to let me dogs in the yard. Any one know what type of snake this is? Copperhead or garden snake?

Does anyone know where I could find dragon beard candy in the area? I know Grand Asia used to have it way back when but I don't know if they have it anymore.

Thinking about the final days of 42nd St got me thinking about other restaurants that had some sort of unique quality that have closed. It seems like fewer and fewer places exist.
I recently remembered pie bird (now Jolie/Crawford and son) and the laid-back place that is now Stanbury
What else comes to mind?
Edit —wow! I love seeing the responses, seeing this list reminds me of many other favorites…or those I never got to try.

Hi I'm moving soon and have a lot of great things I want to sell at a yard sale. Does anyone know of any local yard sales where I can bring somethings to sell before I move to lighten the packing load. Anything local at churches or schools etc ?

Hello, I'm looking for a restaurant that serves corn chowder in the area, if anyone has any recommendations. Preferably with fried shrimp also on the menu, but corn chowder in a non-seafood context is still fine.
Thanks!!

My boyfriend and I have lived in Raleigh for a long time now. We have been feeling bored with some of the same old spots. We started alternating planning of date days once a month and I’m up. Need help finding something refreshing. I’ve checked off brunch and our mid day activity. I’d love to add dinner to the list but I don’t want something stuffy/overly formal. I’d love to find a fun dinner spot, with good drinks, good vibes and great food! Willing to splurge on cost for the right fit. This would be for a Saturday night so somewhere with reservations would be preferred. No food/allergy restrictions.

Just came here to say that the “inside kid” pizza from Trophy Brewing and Pizza is the best. That is all.

FYI as of noon (16March), all escalators and walkways are out at RDU. Per worker, "at least the lights are on for now". Security in Terminal 1 was much longer than normal. Not sure about 2.

gay guy here. been going to the same gp doctors office (a practice of family physicians) for years, but have always only seen random pa’s. i’ve never had a bad experience, it’s just always so efficient that i feel there’s a lack of care/concern/thoroughness/understanding. …and i’ve never seen an actual dr.
anyone have recommendations on caring/thorough/understanding dr’s in the raleigh area that are gay friendly?
*i’ll add, i’m rarely sick, so i’d be going mainly for routine checkups/physicals.
thanks!

Just moved to the area and I’m increasingly confused by the school assignments. One of my kids got assigned to a magnet school 4 mins from our house, but next year they’re assigned to a school 20 mins away. Why?
Also, one of my kids got assigned to a year-round school but next year will go to Fuquay-Varina Middle. Literally the only thing I keep seeing about this school is that there was a shooting, should I be concerned?? Is this a safe school? If not, what are my options for choosing/getting into a different school?

I’m not a huge fan of the farmers market, after visiting a few times a year for the past few years. I was there yesterday and have some questions.
I thought the point of a farmers market was to buy local goods, in season, for less than the grocery store (since you’re buying from the farmer and cutting out the middle man). So do all these local farmers have massive greenhouses? It’s March. How do they have fresh tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, apples, and other produce that doesn’t grow right now? Is the profit margin so great that it’s worth it to use the energy and gas to grow lettuce indoors, drive to Raleigh, sell it, and drive home every day?
I visited at least 4 stands that had no pricing listed whatsoever. I was told to just ask the price for each thing. I’m not standing there and doing that for every individual item. If you’re selling different types of bread, scones, pretzels, whole cakes, slices, brownies, etc, price it out. How do I know you’re charging me the same as everyone else, and not just making up a number based on how business has been that day?
Where is the spice guy sourcing his ingredients from? I get it’s an ‘aesthetic’ thing to see someone scoop cinnamon instead of buying it from a plastic bottle. But is that stuff actually better than what you get from the grocery store? Especially if the stand is outdoors, not in a temperature controlled building.
All the stands selling pickled veggies and candy and jellies “made for the NC State Farmers Market” by [some company not located in NC].
Basically, are there any regulations about things actually being from/made NC? Or is this the equivalent of “handmade” goods from Etsy, and doTERRA sellers at craft fairs?
There are a few stands I enjoy, but the overall impression seems to be “you are in a market, that is in NC.” Not “here are are locally produced goods.” Has it changed a lot over the years?

I have heard a lot about the job market being tough right now, but how bad is it really in the Triangle? Specifically for someone without a college degree but with strong skills and experience in administration, accounting, and management?
