It is illegal to place anything in a mailbox without proper postage. Not sure who put this in our box illegally .

Under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1725, often referred to as the "Mailbox Restriction"), a curbside mailbox is considered federal property and is reserved strictly for postage-paid mail delivered by authorized postal carriers.

Housing What’s the deal with 201 N Elm st?

14 Upvotes

There are ~15 units for sale and none of them are moving, is it as simple as the fact that these units are simply priced too high for a typical Greensboro family or single person to purchase one? I’ll be moving to the area soon and want to make sure there isn’t some kind of ghost haunting the building or something before buying one of the condos.

While I’m here, R.I.P ruckus climbing gym.

Does anyone know what happened to Parker at the Advance Auto Parts off alamance church rd? He was one of the nicest people I would run in to and devastated to hear he passed. The clerk today was clearly upset so I didn’t want to dig any deeper.

Politics Who to contact?

I have a potential voter tampering issue—could be clerical, could be fraud. I just want an answer on how this happened and how it will be handled in the future. I contacted the board of elections and was given the run around. I plan to keep contacting them but what do I do if they just continue to hem and haw?

Traffic/Transportation Road debris on 73-840 Tuesday AM

5 Upvotes

Posting this for my dad who doesn’t have reddit. Anyone else hit metal road debris on 73-840 going towards Newgarden on Tuesday around 11am? The pieces were as wide or wider than a lane and unavoidable. There were probably a dozen cars pulled over on the shoulder and a big line (behind us) for air at the sheetz. I am assuming that insurance is the only one to submit a claim to, NCDOT has no responsibility?

Discussion Cook Out official, I know you’re in here. I need an official ruling. 😂

81 Upvotes

I know the Cook Out official account hangs around this subreddit, so I’m hoping he can settle something for me.

If a customer pulls up and says, “I want a Cajun chicken sandwich, made Cheddar Style,” what exactly should they expect to receive?

My understanding is that I’m ordering a Cajun-seasoned chicken breast with the Cheddar Style toppings: cheese, bacon, grilled onions, and mayo. No lettuce, tomato, or Texas Pete.

And that’s exactly what I get most of the time! But occasionally, they make it Cajun Style instead, and I have to explain that it’s not what I ordered and ask them to remake it.

Today, I even had an employee trying to explain to me what comes on a Cajun Style sandwich when I was specifically asking for Cheddar Style.

So here’s my question: Am I ordering this correctly, or is there a better way to communicate it so there’s no confusion?

Cook Out guy, if you’re reading this, I need an official ruling. 😂

Pet-related Black Cat on Fairmont St?

Thumbnail

39 Upvotes

So, I went on a walk with a friend today in the Westerwood district neighborhood, and an adorable little black cat with orange eyes crossed the road to come towards us while on a walk with her dog. With that said, this cat had no collar/flea collar on, VERY friendly and vocal (which makes me feel like they just got out), roughly 5 ish lbs (total guess), had orange eyes, a shorter tail, and was a little on the skinny side. Unsure of gender. Posting because I want to make sure keekee has an owner. If not, I'll get in touch with a local rescuer, but I wanted to verify!

Side note/reminder: be nice to ANY cat, but in this case, black cats— especially in October. Treat them with kindness, always. 🖤

Thanks in advance! Happy Wednesday! 😼🐈‍⬛️

If McMichael can make it to the #1 spot, they would win a MILLION dollars, but they’ll only be able to get that chance if they win the division by the end of the week.

Recommendation Appliance (Dryer) knowledge and repair?

1 Upvotes

Let me preface this by saying I have very very little money, my roomate has been without a job for a while so rent is all on me. I work part time but have some savings.

But I'm wondering if anyone recommends a dryer repair tech with affordable pricing. From what I can figure out it's not a complicated repair - the dryer has just started making a horrible screeching/squeaking noise rhythmically a few minutes after the cycle has started and everything has heated up. Google says roller needs greasing but I'm not handy enough or strong enough to take it apart.

It's a used dryer 4 years old, GE profile. It still functions despite the noise being bad enough to where we have to leave the living room area and try to drown it out from our bedrooms. Just driving me crazy and I can't afford a full replacement, especially when it works fine despite the noise.

Anyone recommend someone or does anyone feel comfortable looking at it themselves? I'll call around but recommendations are appreciated.

Recommendation does anyone know reputable mobile dog groomers?

4 Upvotes

i would very much like a mobile groomer to come out to me after having poor experiences with my dog at the drop-off spots in town- note: i do not want to bathe her myself at the store, i need someone else to do the physical task and to compensate them for it financially.

i’m about 20 minutes outside of greensboro and not in a rush if there’s a month or so wait to be worked in as a new client.

when i looked into it before, i only found weird dead end ads on google (dead internet am i right?)

please drop info! thanks

Question Would anyone be interested in a mobile laundry service?

9 Upvotes

I work two part-time jobs, one from home, that I enjoy immensely. They are the kind of jobs that feed my soul, but not so much my wallet. Recent events have put me in the position to need more income in order to afford my home. I am no stranger to multiple jobs and love to work but I worry that giving up one of the two current positions I hold, would be really hard on my mentality.

That’s where the laundry comes in: so many people hate doing laundry, I used to - but as of late have found it incredibly therapeutic.

So my question is: would you pay for a hotel style out the door laundry service? I need to do the math on water and electricity, before I could really determine what the base cost would be, but I’m thinking somewhere around a couple dollars per pound?

I know there are laundromats that offer the service, but I was hoping offering pick up and delivery would change the game?? if I’m super off base please be kind, I’m currently quite fragile lol

​

My wife and I went to vote early yesterday at Lewis Rec Center. As soon as we got out of our car a guy in a silver car pulled up real fast and told us the wait time to vote was over 35 minutes. Said he wasn't going to wait that long. "I'm just saying so you all don't need to go through that." Is how he put it. We were in and out in 20 minutes. I think he drives to all the early voting sites all day saying the same thing to anyone that doesn't look MAGA.
