Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina. In North Carolina, there is no legal obligation for homeowners or real estate agents to disclose if a death has occurred in a home, whether by natural causes, murder, or suicide. However, if a potential buyer directly inquires about any deaths on the property, the seller is required to provide that information.

There’s something undeniably human about wanting to possess a little piece of a place that meant something to you. And seashells, with their no-two-are-alike design, make themselves incredibly tempting to take home. But these organic souvenirs don’t exactly come free. Seashells play a vital role in oceanic ecosystems, providing homes for several shellfish. While collecting a handful might seem like a harmless act of beachcombing fun, it can have some pretty sad consequences if done on a large scale. To learn more about the environmental implications of taking seashells from a beach, we spoke to Dr. Britta Baechler, Associate Director of Ocean Plastics Research for Ocean Conservancy and a scientist who has studied the impacts of microplastic pollution on shellfish along the Pacific coast.

I’m staring down at my second 12-egg omelet of the day, a behemoth the size of a small child. It’s August 2008, and I’m at Beth’s Cafe in Seattle, a glorious dive that constitutes one of the final stops on a south-to-north cross-country drive that began in San Diego. My stomach was empty and the first omelet had gone down rapidly and with ease, a delicious, belly-lining blend of eggs, cheese, and various fillings, laid atop a mound of buttery hash browns and a fluffy biscuit. It was so satisfying and went down so easily that I couldn't resist ordering another. You only live once, right?
