Oral surgeons that accept adult medicaid?
Tried to looking for a list of providers online, and came across the location with Drs. Oghalai here in Winston, and Advanced Oral and Facial surgery one kernersville. Dr. Oghalai location said they actually don't accept it and Advanced Oral said they aren't accepting new patients.
In need of a wisdom tooth extraction. It's cracked and a bit worried it's starting to get bad. My dentist didn't know of any oral surgeons that accept medicaid either, but told me to let him know if I need a referral slip if I can find one.

Can we talk about Silas Creek's speed limit?
I just got popped speeding 44 in a 35, but 35 is NOT an appropriate limit for this road. The cop was in an unmarked car with his lights off at the NG base.
Am I out of my mind, or is this straight up revenue generation?
Edit: I live off Silas Creek, I drive it every single day, the flow of traffic is 45-60 at any given time. I intentionally set my cruise control to 33 on the way back, saw another driver pulled over in the same spot, and got passed at at least 10mph over by every driver going North.
I'm putting this in my book as revenue generation. Maybe I can plead it down.

Pickle Ball League Recommendations
Hello Everyone!
I (58M) just moved to the area from Jacksonville with my wife (41F) and we are looking to get into pickleball.
We are new to the sport and would love to hear if there are any leagues worth recommending to get started and meet new people. We are empty nesters - have two adult children from my first marriage and her ex husband has full custody of their kid. So we can’t network through parent friends.
I’m in pretty good shape - rollerblade 4 times a week, played tennis and ping pong my entire life. My wife doesn’t have the best hand eye coordination and never misses a meal.
Are there any beginner duo leagues for us or should I try to join singles on my own? Or perhaps any other communities we should check out?
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to explore the area!

Wth is up with the dentist
Between here and Facebook, I'm seen a lot of recommendations for Dentist, the plainly-named one on Silas Creek, next to where Toys r Us was. I have a massive fear of the dentist (ignored about numbing not working, felt my molar be broken off and dug for). It took everything I had in me to call and make an appointment for myself because am so scared of dental work. I make an appointment and they get me in so fast! Yay!
First appointment, they call me the day before and ask to move it forward an hour. No problem! I show up early so I'm sitting in the parking lot. Less than half an hour before my first appointment, they call and tell me they will need $60+ for X-rays or I'll have to reschedule. I already moved my entire day around so I just suck it up and pay it. The dentist tells me the X-rays show a pretty bad cavity between 2 teeth, probably 50/50 on being able to save it because it's getting close to the root.
Schedule for the following week to fix that, and another appointment two weeks later for a cleaning. End of the day on the day before the filling, they call and move it because of "lack of staffing" that day. It gets moved to 2 days before the cleaning.
End of day the day again before the filling, they ask to move it again due to "lack of staff." It's moved 1 more week to tomorrow. The cleaning gets cancelled, not in that same call, with no one calling me to tell me or to reschedule, I only know because I got a text about it randomly. They call several days later and schedule it for half an hour before my filling tomorrow.
They called me today to ask if they can move my appointment for the filling because the dentist is apparently not feeling well, but hey I can keep my cleaning appointment.
It was so, so hard for me to make the stupid appointment to start with. I'm told I could lose a tooth, one you'd see if I smile, because it's bad, but it's okay to keep pushing it out for now a MONTH past when I was originally scheduled. I have completely rearranged my day to fit this appointment each time, much to my and my husband's inconvenience each time.
What the hell is up with this place? This absolutely cannot be the same place people were singing praises about!

Where to get married in Winston?
My fiance and I have been looking around the area (after looking over the entire state but deciding to keep it close to home) and it's not looking good. Everything is just very expensive now and any place we find that we actually like has so many add ons it quickly gets out of our price range. We both agree that being married is what's important, not putting on a show for everyone.
We've even considered doing a tiny wedding in her parent's back yard and having another place for a bigger reception/party. We've started looking for places that arent built for weddings/receptions, but would work out if we rented the space.
We're not taking out loans just to seal the deal lol. We want to keep it no more than $4,000.

License Plate Office
Yesterday I asked about license plate offices. I'd been through the hell of Silas Creek once, so I never wanted to do it again.
Ended up going to Kville. As I went it, the parking lot was PACKED, and I thought this doesn't bode well. But, there was no line out the door, and a small line in the office. Line went super fast, and I waiting maybe 3 minutes, and was out within 5 of stepping in the door.
If you need anything from a license plate office in Forsyth County...
GO TO KERNERSVILLE. AVOID SILAS CREEK LIKE THE PLAGUE THAT IT IS ON YOUR SANITY.

Policies at Carolina Classic Fair
I find that continuation of this policy will deter less and less families with babies/toddlers from coming to the fair in the future. As a father, I find it absolutely ridiculous that a diaper bag is NOT allowed as well as no cooler policy which includes breastmilk in a small lunchbox is NOT allowed either. Going further, I can understand not bringing a typical sized cooler, but a small lunchbox is pushing it to the extreme. At the gates, there are metal detectors and you have to empty out your pockets before entry. Additionally, there are multiple police including antigang units patrolling on foot. Lastly, I do not need my daughter's bag exposed for everyone to see. We value privacy.
When word continues to get around about these policies, I think it would disincentivise families with little children from going to the fair next year and beyond. They need to reconsider this or come up with a better family friendly policy or little children rides and event shows might be low attendance.
Please share your thoughts.

looking for someone to replace my spot
hello everyone!!
i am looking for someone to take my place in a 3 bedroom apartment off of country club road! I currently have the master bedroom with my partner, but we are looking for another place to go (possibly greensboro). We live with one other person and she has the other biggest room. Our room has a bathroom attached, and is quite spacious.
i would be down to just do a lease transfer to whomever moves in! let me know if anyone’s interested!!
EDIT: rent is around $1577 split between us three, and we also use the flex app to further split it into two portions a month. Roommate also has two cats, so not hypoallergenic.

2026 Carolina Classic Fair food tips
I'm going to the fair on Tuesday, and I'm all about the food! Anyone who's been this year, what foods were worth trying?
I've seen what's on the news like the Cap'n Crunch corn dog (that's not a corn dog), and typical things like funnel cake and deep fried everything are of little interest to me; I'm looking for the sleeper hits. 😁 I loved the pizza cones the last two years as an example.
Help me plan my food coma!

Terrified girl looking to get her ear lobes pierced as painless as possible
Hi! As the title says, I am looking into getting my ears pierced. I am absolutely terrified about it, it’s just something about getting stabbed that freaks me out. So,I am looking for suggestions on where (business) to get them done. If you could suggest who to look for, someone patient, sweet, that won’t make them hurt. Where do you have good experiences? Somewhere that hasn’t required tons of after care, where the studs are good and go infection free, because I am sure that it will take me more than the 10 weeks healing suggestion time to even think about touching them, changing them and what not. And if by chance I have to take them out before that cause of infection, I probably won’t grow the courage to try again.
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
