So you decided to make it out toward us, good for you.
Sports? College sports are huge here, the Winston Salem area is really split up in terms of teams. Most do root for Wake Forest but there are a lot of UNC Tar Heel fans here which rightfully so. You have these college teams to root for out of the ACC, UNC, NCSTATE, DUKE, and WEAK FOREST, oopps, I meant WAKE FOREST.
Yeah but does she really want to be a Tar Hole or a Dukie?

Well, I think we can break it down like this.
You are correct on one thing, she does not want to be a Dukie, and Wake Forest is exactly what I claim them Weak Forest but it is the Winston home team, then you have those loseable wolf pack crowds where the new coach wears an ugly out dated 1970's style red jacket , or she can go with a winner and chose the Heels, aschool that is blessed with winners, class, and has actually made more people famous than possibly Hollywood.
By the way, by her moving here this year and gearing up for college hoops she can enjoy watching a winner and another National Tittle coming into the Carolinas by rooting for the Tar Heels (pre-season ranked #1 in the nation), also she gets to see the newly coached football team by Butch Davis, former National Tittle winner and ex NFL coach. What a great time for a transplant to move here and chose North Carolina, the school of the people. LOL
KC, I was right by telling you about this area a few weeks ago and I'm right again about telling you what ACC North Carolina team to root for.
KC, out of the four schools mentioned which one have you heard most about on that side of the Country, (UNC) University of North Carolina Tar Heels? Duke University Blue Devils? NC State Wolf Pack? Wake Forest Demon Deacons?
This is all in good fun and is just the way it is here with the big four schools here in NC and their fans... This is just Michelle71 and I having a usual conversation in NC
I love it and we all have fun with it here in NC...

True, Carolina basketball has had a winning tradition. That is why there are so many bandwagon fans. And I do seem to recall that State gave UNC a run for their money in the championship game even though Carolina was a far more talented team. State even managed to beat them once. It will be interesting to see what happens with football since we both have new coaches. If a person moves to this state and wants to cheer for a team where the fans are very passionate and will be there through thick and thin and not just when the team is doing well the team to cheer for is NC State, the true school of the people.
I think it may depend on how rural the area you live in is. I have had 2 close encounters with copper heads and and seen at least 4-5 black or other harmless snakes. I have been told that having the black snakes around is good because they keep the copper heads away.
Ticks - some years are good and others are bad. I use Frontline on my dogs just to be safe. But I have pulled many a tick from my dogs or crawling up my legs.
That said. If you keep out of the tall grass/weeds the better off you are.
if nyyaninnc has had good luck - I guess mine is all bad.
No. Fleas are small, hoppy things. Ticks look kind of like spiders, only with shorter legs. They have eight legs like spiders, and are therefore arachnids. When they've been feeding on blood, their bodies swell up and look kind of bluish from the blood. They're disgusting. lol
I have equal hate for both. lol Thankfully though, we rarely have to deal with ticks (I've seen just a couple over the past several years) and haven't had to deal with fleas at all in about 10 years.
Just use prevention for your pets and all should be fine.
I've heard that there are many methods to removing a tick. Is this true? I hate the idea of pinning my dog down to pull a tick out with tweezers!!
Also, how do I know what to look for on their skin? (kids and dogs)
Thanks!
TICKS- if you put frontline plus on your dogs monthly they will never get ticks or fleas.
even if they are outside pups
removing ticks is easy, it should be the least of your worries
Snakes- you MIGHT see one a year if you are lucky
Fireflies- Do you have them in NC? YES they rock, but they seem to be few and far between this year
Driver's license/tags- no clue, try googling "NC DMV"
Utilities- we only have electric (no gas) and our monthly bill averages about $105 a month for 1600 sqft house
Sports- i'm not a sports fan, can't help you there - try rooting for WAKE
