Thank you!!

Hey guys, my roommate and I are currently fostering a cat through animal services. The cat we are fostering is actually the perfect cat, and we would love to find him a home. He was found after the hurricane in western nc. He is very personable and cuddly, as well as super easygoing and energetic. His name is cheddar and he is 8 months old, and he is available for adoption right now. You can find him on their website https://24petconnect.com/BurlingtonPets?index=30&at=CAT&gn=M&age=Y

I’m looking for someone who can replace the magnetron, diode and capacitor on my old Frigidaire microwave. I’ve managed to find some used original parts online. I just need someone who knows what they’re doing and who can swap the parts out without electrocuting themselves. Think old school appliance repairman who will not mind fixing my old reliable microwave with used parts sourced online.

We are closing on our house in burlington next week, and will need a hardwired ev charger hooked up. The circuit and wire are fully ran, and I will be purchasing the charger myself, just need somebody to come out for about 10 minutes to plug it all in correctly, so a simple job. Anybody know a decent electirician in the area that could handle this?

Hey everyone I just moved to the area with my significant other and was wondering what are some good restaurants and outdoor activities you can do.

I was just wondering if anyone knew what was being build at 429 Huffman Mill Rd. It’s the parking lot of Holly Hill next to Taco Bell. They’ve put the frame up, and I think the walls are starting to go in but I’m not sure what it is. I’m guessing it’s going to be another fast food place. I’m just wondering what it’s going to be. There’s a McDonald’s, Wendy, Arby’s, chick fil a, Cook out and so many others near by, so I’m guessing it’s not going to be any of those. Just curious if anyone else knew.

Hi everyone! I’m developing a food truck app and am looking for food truck lovers to take a quick survey. If you regularly order from food trucks, your feedback would be super helpful! Please comment or DM me if you’re interested. Thanks so much!

for my mexican food lovers- which restaurant do you prefer out of these 3? or do you have another favorite?

La Fiesta

San Marcos

Toros Cantina (mebane)

I'm thinking of moving there. Is it nice? Or is everyone playing the “fireworks or gunshots” game every night?

Has anyone in the Alamance or Orange County area been asked out on a date or had an offer to help with an issue/hardship by a member of law enforcement & when that person was turned down slowly noticed immediate family members like children are each charged with a crime that they couldn't possibly have committed until the charges reached you all while local law enforcement refuses to investigate crimes committed against you such as their coworker hacking into your online accounts, breaking into your house, using law enforcement resources to stalk you, etc?

Did local family abuse centers refuse to file protective orders against the law enforcement member?

Did you notice that when attempting to hire attorneys that you could literally only reach certain attorneys who you later discovered were related to the law enforcement member but failed to inform you of such? Or your public defender refuse to discuss any aspect of the case with you? Did a public defender fail to mention that they were related to the officers involved?

Were you treated unfairly in the courts such as your court dates ONLY being on administrative days thus denying you your right to be involved, for example?

Was it also discovered that every person in law enforcement that was involved was also related by blood &/or marriage?

According to the Alamance News, a former law enforcement officer was able to-WITHOUT CONSENT, logged into the social media accounts of a former love interest, UNBLOCK themselves, delete stuff, etc. This person was not charged & it took almsot a year to terminate their employment.

My question is, how many people have been surveilled without cause, charged, arrested, convicted,& had their lives turned upside down for something related to social media that was put there illegally by a member of law enforcement?

As a victim who is living this nightmare that the Sheriff's Office refuses to investigate because 1-"It's not a crime unless we say it is" & 2-they won't investigate their relatives, I feel there needs to be more accountability & security for resources that not only allow anyone in law enforcement to run rampant thru private profiles, messages, etc for their pleasure &/or to fabricate evidence. https://alamancenews.com/burlington-fires-sro-who-kissed-later-harassed-cyberstalked-teacher/

Does anyone know if there are any shops having any peircing sales in durham, burlington, or greensboro?

North Carolina is at least Number 9 in the country for human trafficking.

Why is it ARMC has absolutely NO protocols in place for possible human trafficking victims?

The Burlington Police Dept officer that showed up seemed less than competent & claimed to not know how to reach the Dept of Homeland Security who handles human trafficking & didn't bother to get back to the victim.

Seems concerning when a child is targeted, showered with gifts immediately following their 18th birthday, leaves homes during a mental break, found on Maple Ave by law enforcement & LEFT THERE, advised to file protective order against the only relatives they have, provided alcohol to the point of brain damage, tracked by a tracker put on their phone, & kicked out 2 counties away after someone took almost all of their money where they are then sexually assaulted again. This after months of forcing this person to help them strip metal that was stolen from their employer to sell & constantly taking their money to pay the pawn shops.

Not to mention, once this person made it back home, they were contacted by an alleged rehab program claiming this person was accepted into a rehab program & that a Lyft would pick them up at or before 7am in a week or 2. However, 1-this person's insurance didn't cover any kind of facility like that, 2-the place didn't take insurance, 3-there was NOTHING in writing from this place, & 4-this place had previously stated that they couldn't help this person.

Seems odd considering the sheriff had made a rant about protecting our children from human trafficking.
