[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
HOLYSMACK! MY CHILD TURNS FIVE NEXT WEEK!
I told someone that Ellie would be 5 in two months the other day, and then almost passed out.
Amy, as someone who lived in NC for only two years, I would totally aim for the Triangle. I loved UNC even though I was only there for a year and was pregnant for a lot of that, so thus spent most of my time not hanging out with fellow students.
Still, beautiful. My one criticism of NC though is that it *really matters* where you are because it varies *a lot*.
grmph. I am so over this recuperation thing. It's the 21st Century! Where are the healing doohickeys that they wave over your owies and make everything feel better?
Well, connie, when they do that, they also inject you with weird radioactive alien drugs to track your every move.

Does it come with super powers as well?
Good to know. Thanks, Stephanie. God, I had forgotten you were even down there!
I haven't been to NC in a while, but I'll add my praises for Chapel Hill. Spent the best four years of my life there in grad school and law school.
For what it's worth, UNC-Greensboro is only about an hour or so (or has the drive time gone up in the past few years?) from Chapel Hill/Carrboro.
I know - that was two moves ago!

Wouldn't that be nice? Or maybe healing fast could be your super power.
I'm just doing English and/or teaching English at the secondary level, but it sounds like Rocky Mount is probably not for me. A lot of things to consider, especially given that we really want to move this summer, and moving to the Triangle might be a risk if I don't know for sure I'd get into UNC. Hmmm.
Well, UNC is (gasp) certainly not the only University in the Triangle. There's also Duke, NC State, NCCU, and Meredith. Would you be doing creative writing? I think I have a friend who graduated from that program and or is teaching in it.

This is super true. As a total bleeding heart liberal, the Triangle is the only part of NC I'll live in, and I'm picky within that (sorry, Raleigh, you've gotten better but you're still soulless). If you like things like culture, and good food, and good music, and funky stores... this is where it's at. Chapel Hill/Carrboro is an excellent school district, Wake County is also respected, not sure about Orange County or Durham. If you're looking to buy, Durham is much MUCH more reasonable, but the rental market in CH is not bad at all.
Let me know what other questions you have. We can also take this to group email.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. SHE WAS JUST BORN OR IS SURELY ONLY JUST A TODDLER. NOT FIVE.

Hahaha. I almost wrote exactly this. I would live in Carborro, Chapel Hill, or maybe Durham (I liked where flea lived). I would also live in Cary, but it's def. more cookie cutter suburbs. That's about it.
