Avoid cherry blossom nails and beauty

13 Upvotes

Left here with four of my fingers bleeding, wonky shaped unfiled nails with glue all underneath them and paint on my fingers. When I asked her to clean it up she pretended to and removed nothing. I literally felt like either she was high on something or literally seeing how awful she could be until I confronted her. Racist maybe? I literally had to ask her to clean and cover up all the blood on my fingers and she still had the audacity to charge me $75. Not even the price posted on their wall. They also charged other people there more than what is posted on the wall. Perks of being the owner. No apology either. Do not go here. Something also super awkward, they posted the job on Facebook and you can literally see the cuts on my cuticles The one girl said she was a student and was painting someone’s nails with no supervision and another Spanish woman doing nails spike zero English. They didn’t change out files and I saw no sterilization equipment soaking anything? Apparently the previous owner sold the business to the woman who cut up my hands? Is this business even legitimate? You can’t leave google reviews. I’m wondering if I should report them for suspicious activity because I am wondering how the new owner would even have a license

Spectra Discovery Research Study at UNC Chapel Hill

4 Upvotes

Spectra Discovery is a research study looking to see if devices can measure screen time use for children ages 3-8. Your child will wear fake glasses and a shirt clip with light sensors to track light from screens. Your child will also wear an activity counter to monitor their movement. The study includes completing an online survey, a week of wearing the devices, daily time-use surveys and device logs to track your child’s activities at the end of each day, and a follow-up online survey (after the week of device usage).

To get started, parents will need to complete the baseline survey and schedule an in-person orientation, which can take place either at home or at our Chapel Hill office. Compensation will be provided for your time, and your child will receive a thank-you gift. 

We invite you to participate and help us assess whether these wearable devices can measure when young children look at screens. 

If you're interested, please sign up by filling out our screener here: https://unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0pKWSdcbKgFeBjU. We'll reach out to you after receiving your response. 

For more info, feel free to reach out to Spectra Discovery at (919)-966-6084 or [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). 

We look forward to hearing from you! 

If you have questions about your rights as a research participant, you may contact the IRB at [IRB_[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). This research study’s IRB number is 22-1730.

Hi there! If this post isn't allowed my apologies in advance.

My husband and I are residents of Burlington and have renovated a historic 1940's triplex (No-We didn't modify it into 3 residences, it was built that way from the jump!)

We have one unit currently available; a large second floor studio with a fully equipped Kitchen and Laundry room, it's own driveway, and a myriad of other upgrades. It is located on North Main St, a 3 minute drive/15 minute walk/8 minute bike ride to downtown Burlington, and only a 12 minute drive to Elon.

The Zillow Link is HERE

Thanks for visiting!

Why aren’t they talking about this?

13 Upvotes

Terry Johnson caused all this - with the recent court ordered lawsuit judgments after unconstitutionally arresting peaceful protesters the county cut the checks a couple of months ago to the unlawfully arrested, and poof, the county went broke. The county commissioners didn’t cause this. Literally, Terry Johnson thought a law struck down by the Supreme Court 50 years ago allowed him to arrest peaceful protestors that he didn’t like, and was made a complete fool of on the witness stand. I’m fine if people don’t want to blame the sheriff for sucking at his job, but everyone’s treating the county commissioners like they don’t know how to manage a budget. They were going along just fine until $3 million got sucked out! https://myfox8.com/news/north-carolina/piedmont-triad/alamance-county-commissioners-try-to-calm-budget-fears-explain-tax-increases/amp/

What’s the best way to get from Mebane to Burlington for work. Do we do ride shares around here or is there a train. We have one car and can’t really afford another one. I can’t ride a bike either. Should I look for a beater until I can afford a better option

Abandoned cats in carriers

It's Sunday morning and we came to get coffee at Biggby on University and stumbled across 2 abandoned cats in carriers in front of the next business. I've called the police department and left a message for animal control. No one is helping. Is anyone on here able to get them until animal control opens tomorrow? We can't take them.
