"I am interested in law. I like going to court and seeing all the different people and hearing testimonies and such. I want to prosecute. I want to put bad guys in jail, because I can’t be Batman ... because I can’t grow up to be Batman." #homc #humansofmoorecounty

 What's up? In this case, it's a rainbow. by Greg Girard
So how’s life? I think I hear a variation of that question just about everyday. Meant as politeness, for the most part, I’m not sure those that utter it really want to know. Seems to roll off the tongue automatically after a “hello” or “what’s up?” these days. I usually don’t think about my answer much anymore either. It’s typically a quick, “Not bad. You?” Even when I’m in one of these ebbing phases of life, I usually don’t want to burden the asker with my difficulties – although I think it would be interesting to see their reaction. “Actually, today life sucks …,” I say as the questioner outwardly cringes as if they ate an entire bag of sour patch kids. Bad form.  Every Monday, we'll ask your opinion on something about Moore County. Answer here, on our Facebook page, our Instagram account or our Twitter acwith the hashtag #MooreMonday. We want to hear from you.
 "Our purpose and what we want to accomplish in Moore County is to bring the Savior's love in greater abundance to all that we come in contact with. Not only that but to allow blessings and happiness that comes from receiving the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Uchtdorf said "Compared to God, man is nothing; yet we are everything to God." God loves us and wants us to return to him. Any questions?" #homc #humansofmoorecounty
 If you're an instagrammer, you're in luck, we've joined Instagram! Let's share the photo love. Follow us and we'll return the favor.
We'll be sharing our Humans of Moore County photos on our account as well as snaps we take around the county. So click over to our account (when will Instagram get a better desktop version?) at www.instagram.com/sandandpinemag  Under the watchful eye of volunteers, we rolled up our sleeves, adjusted our hairnets, and were ready to get to work. Thirty stations took up most of the gym, each one laden with rice and supplements, scales and package sealers. Ten to 12 people manned each table and without a starting bell or whistle we dove in. Our goal: 300,000 meals ready for shipment.

OK, Southern Pines isn't New York City, but for you new residents to the area, I'm Dustin Hoffman to your Jon Voight. Let me educate you on the nuances of So.Pines driving. No taxi slapping needed. Southern Pines, in particular, takes a little getting used to. I can’t speak to Pinehurst, heck I still get turned around over there. Maybe some of you can post your own tips for figuring out the Golf Capital, but for me, I’ll focus on the Pines. You may have to pass a driving test, but that won’t prepare you for the street layouts or the one ways. Trust me, you’re in for a treat. So here’s a list of helpful tips for the first couple months of your (hopefully) long residency. |
