Hi folks and welcome to your Monday morning cat drop!

The first girl has my heart. Her name is Gigi and that was the best photo I could get of her because she demanded pets with both hands. Gigi has been at the shelter for over a month and I've really seen her blossom as she has started to feel better. At my most recent shelter visit she climbed into my arms and was totally happy to stay there. If you're looking for a gentle cuddler Gigi is your girl!

The next girl is theadorable is Springbok. She is a super cute tuxie lady, not a kitten (APS estimates 5 years old) but not too old either. She is really friendly and really ready for a home--she has also been at the shelter for a minute at this point. Highly recommend going to meet her!

You all know what to do. Go get one of these sweet cats, or another cat who needs a home #adoptdontshop

Anyone know why they are soo many fireworks going off at the Bulls stadium right now? Feels random for a Sunday evening.

the name of this business makes me mad.

i also wonder if that apartment above it smells the machismo of fries being fried all day. that would make me more mad.

it also seems like that mavericks barbecue carnival that’s nearby that nobody ever attends. it amazes me that this part of downtown has these half-assed places and I demand answers. so I ask again, is this place worth it and what do you know?

You were a little bit older than me and knew how to drive. You have a dark blue NB Miata. I thought you were pretty. I have a maroon ND Miata. We met at 15-501 and Garrett Road. We chatted, you have my energy. Then the light turned green. Who are you?

These guys are really just so good! I am nursing two crap cars to end of year and so used tires have become an option…they got me nearly new on both for $60 each max…have also had them patch one on a newer car at house..we are nail magnets!

One of the tires they sold me started leaking recently and so I stopped in to suss it out and he fixed a plug that was in when o bought used….no charge, no wait, no problem…honest and fair guys that are hopefully doing well…they work constantly and professionally and with the freindliest service imaginable..a google review is fine..but looking for any way possible to praise and support. Just good people doing a really great job! 🙏🙏

For like a year, when I was on my way to work on Friday mornings I would pass by through the Hope Valley Rd and MLK Blvd intersection. Every Friday morning like clockwork, there were always protesters on every corner waving flags and waving at drivers. They would be there rain or shine, hot or cold. They were incredibly consistent.
But I noticed that approximately a month ago they stopped showing up. Does anyone know what happened to them? You would figure now is the time to really be out there.

Hey y'all, my boyfriend and I are in need of a massage after a grueling 14 hour drive today. Does anyone have any recommendations for massage therapists who are going to be normal and informed about transgender bodies?

Bonus points for if they have couples' massages and won't break the bank. Also a plus if they're knowledgeable about bodies with hypermobility. Thanks!

Anyone in the Hope Valley area noticed a lot of sirens and helicopters over the last couple of hours?

need to print b&w standard letter size... library costs .10/side. I need to print hundreds of pages... is anywhere cheaper?

I just found out my friend has never had Chicken and Dumplings. I would make them but I am in the middle of a move so all of my cookware is packed away. Does anyone know what to get real Chicken and Dumplings?

anyone know what happened on the highway heading south near exit 4? i saw emergency vehicles and someone doing chest compressions but then everyone just left. i hope everything is ok!

update: obviously it was a medical emergency but i was looking for context. the cops were out there for hours afterwards looking for something on the ground with flashlights and i can’t fathom what it could be.

update: it was a hit and run tragically. i’m assuming the police were out there looking for evidence as to who killed the victim. if anyone saw anything they should definitely report it!

Hey everyone!

I am needing to get an AGSU jacket tailored and the patches sewn on. I really would rather not have to drive all the way to Fayetteville twice to get this done. Does anyone know of a tailor in the area that has experience with military uniforms?

I am trying to help my partner avoid a buy here pay here to get a new car. Her mother destroyed her credit growing up but she has worked to get it up some, so it is in the 500s. Where can we get a decent car loan in Durham? I was thinking the Self Help, but any other suggestions are welcome.

We stripped the carpet off of the stairs in our split level home (12 stairs total, not counting the landing) and found them a little beyond our DIY skills to spruce up. Do y'all have any recommendations for a good licensed contractor to refinish, re-caulk, and possibly install new molding for our stairs? Most places with the highest reviews advertise pretty big projects. No major structural work here, just looking for a face-lift from the bare pine boards.

Appreciate any recommendations, especially for contractors with a website or a Facebook page showing examples of their finished work! Thank you!!

Anyone know why it was knocked down? My assumption was they're just rebuilding but I had a friend ask me yesterday. Thanks

Big fan of spicy chicken wings, so I'm trying to find the best wings in the area. I love Heavenly Buffaloes, but I want the créme de la créme. Where can I find the best wings in Durham/the Triangle?

I just saw a post on the Raleigh page that suggests we should be shopping for a better rate.

how much are you paying for cleaning services? how frequent and what size is your home?

Hi all, I'm interested in signing up for weekly yoga/pilates classes at a studio that is LGBTQ friendly/affirming (or at the very least observes the correct pronouns lol). I was looking at the Movement Studio but they didn't have any slots available after my workday (I work fully in office in Raleigh) or on the weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideally would like a studio located in the downtown Durhamish area (or near Duke). Thanks!!
