The Outer Banks it isn't

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 27 Feb 23

I finally broke down and started watching Outer Banks on Netflix. I made it about 1/2 way through the pilot episode. So far, I'm not very impressed. The first thing that hit me was the reference to the rich end of the island as...

Postcard from Grover, NC

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8765) • United States 30 Jun 21

This postcard looks as if it should come from London, but it's from the US. It's not an old postcard, but it's made to look like one. I know this because I've seen it for sale on Amazon. The sweet lady that sent it wrote "may all...

Mamma Elk Up Close and Personal

Kareng @kareng (80243) • United States 19 Oct 20

I mentioned earlier that I would post more elk photos that I took in the Smoky Mountains in North Carolina. This one is my favorite as she was standing right by the road and was just about 4 feet away from the car. Of course I...

Dear Mama Nature, did you know it's not spring?

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 8 Jan 20

It's actually winter, or atleast it's supposed to be. Mama Nature, you seem to want to give us more spring like temps and rain. You deliver some cold temps over night, but we've not yet had any of that white stuff that falls...

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (53005) • Mojave, California 2 Nov 19

A very lovey state. Its a mix and can see why its a up for grabs state between democrats and republicans. Still more of a southern state. Usually goes with the Republicans, but Obama upset that trend in his first term. I been to...

Where There's a Will There's a Way

MrsJ @SophiaMorros (5044) • Belews Creek, North Carolina 7 Sep 19

The camera in my phone is currently of no use (it causes my phone to shut down). My techie son has ordered a new battery and if that doesn’t solve the problem I’ll be in the market for a new phone. Meanwhile, I’ve been scanning...

Quite a few years ago we traveled to North Carolina. One of the stops that we made was in Asheville to see the Biltmore Estate, the largest privately owned residence in the United States. What overwhelmed me was the massive size...

I met a "fren" in old salem today.

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 16 Apr 19

Don't you hate when you thought you took a picture but it didn't go through? I swear I did, but I took it on snapchat and it didn't go through apparently. I met a "fren" at Old Salem Today. Old Salem is a Moravian Museum and...

New Election in North Carolina

Sherry @norcal (4889) • Franklinton, North Carolina 22 Feb 19

I don't know how much the rest of the country is aware of this, but there is a huge vote-tampering scandal in the race for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District in the U.S. House. When the votes were counted on election...

Proof that the burden of marriage has been well.. a burden for a long long time

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 4 Dec 18

"Sister Bachhof brought Sister Graff an affirmative answer to the proposal that she should marry Brother George Schmidt." This was written on January 7th of 1780. Now, I am assuming this is in line with the beliefs of the...

Tanglewood's Tangled Web

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 4 Dec 18

Okay, this may end up being long. I am going to try to keep it as short and sweet as possible. I might end up breaking it up into a three part thing actually. Tanglewood is a massive park in a little township (actually village,...

Two brown outs within five minutes of each other

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 13 Sep 18

A "brown out", for those unaware, is when the power flickers on and off. One just happened about ten minutes ago, and another about three minutes after the first. I've had my phone on the charger for a few minutes already, so...

A strangers dream put him to death.

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 4 Jul 18

I am going to make this as short as I possibly can. I came across this and it reminded me of another story that I have told here (or perhaps another site) several years ago. In that story I told about a man who was so bereaved...

How Often Have You Moved?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 26 Jul 17

I’ve learned that some people stay in one place all their lives and others move around a lot. Personally, I have moved a LOT. And not always because I wanted to move. I’m hoping that I will not have to move again, because I am...
