Reply to comment by Travis123083 in Police swarm multiple local schools after reports of shootings, believed to be hoax by Bmartin_
Right? I was 9 when Columbine happened. Now my kids are in elementary school and it's a whole new level than we had growing up. It used to be disgruntled/bullied high school kids, that was the worry. Now it can be grown adults waltzing into schools to kill innocent elementary aged kids who they've never met.
My son was the same age as the kids who died at Uvalde. We had a brief but heartbreaking conversation about it. 9 year olds aren't supposed to live with that fear but here we are, 2nd generation in a row.

It's been 5/6 weeks, his term is 6 years. I don't really see what it matters that he's been out sick for such a small amount of time, when we know exactly why he's been out. I don't see people giving a fuck that McConnell has been out for 3 weeks and counting for his medical issue.
E- Senate term is 6 years, not 4.

Reply to comment by rboymtj in OK, what's the deal with weed cards. Every PA thread gives different info. by [deleted]
Yes, you can get a DUI even if you aren't high. If a cop suspects you could be, aka sees your med card at a traffic stop or you are in an accident, they can drug test you. THC can be in your system days to weeks after last use, depending on how often you use it. State law currently allows them to charge you with a DUI, despite no proof of current intoxication.
That said, I've had my card for going on 4 years without an issue.

Reply to comment by akennelley in Why are there seagulls in central PA all of a sudden? by TxGinger587
Oh that reminded me of the grass-mowing goats. I always got a laugh out of seeing them for some reason.
Critical_Band5649 t1_jcfnsxq wrote
I grew up in Montoursville and there have always been seagulls. Used to always be a ton around the mall but I'm guessing they've found better places to find garbage since. Also used to see them on campus in Lock Haven (though thats obviously clinton County) Seagulls flock to anywhere there is abundant garbage, ie- garbage dumps, dumpsters, fairs, etc.

Curious as to what i should do if every pharmacy i have called is out. Hoping to find one that has it. by FunnyAccomplished666
Vyvanse isn't part of the nationwide shortage for now. It's mostly Adderall, the other meds are only seeing issues here and there due to patients being switched to the others.

It's not terrible but definitely not as good as the food found in the park. I grew up with my dad's work picnic there and we ate it most years. Even if it wasn't enough food, the park has plenty of goodies to supplement it with. I'm looking at you pierogies

Oh Dougie is talking to Politico? He's apparently learned a bit from epically losing to Shapiro.

The only time I've ever gotten an interview for a state job, my score was 71. However, they told me at the end of the interview they could only hire someone from the top 3 scores and I was 4th.

I successfully rode every coaster twice (except laugh track because that line is dumb long) in 1 day a few summers ago.

Knoebels is great for families with kids. You have the option to only pay for the rides they get on, which is great when you've got small kids who tend to be unpredictable. They have award winning food that doesn't break the bank. And they are dog friendly, which is a huge bonus for some.
They have specials for a lot of weekends and half off wristbands Wednesday nights. It's almost always busy but a comfortable busy, lots of room for everyone to spread out so you don't feel claustrophobic.

He has major coexisting medical problems that require their own medication. In all likelihood, they chose to do inpatient to monitor drug reactions either to antidepressants themselves or if they interact with something else he is taking.

Not everyone gives a fuck about owning a gun. I'd rather live without chronic pain than have the right to buy a gun that I'll never purchase.

Reply to comment by aust_b in UPMC Williamsport Hospital experiences total power failure by mkkxx
Only a year?
My mom refused to take us to Williamsport hospital because they sent her home with a burst appendix. We would make the drive to geisinger if we needed urgent care.
I had a friend win a very large claim against them over 10 years ago for their negligence that led to the death of her child while in labor. Completely made up my mind that I would have my children at Geisinger even though it was so much further away.

Yes! I saw the news story earlier and I wanted to know as well. I'm telling myself it's broth because anything else raises more questions.

Hershey Park is geared towards kids older than that. Personally, Knoebels is much more for small kids and families. Free admission so you don't waste a $65 ticket on little ones only riding a few rides. Individual ride tickets can be purchased at a discount at Weis. Knoebels also has a veteran discount once a year, you get a free book of tickets.

Reply to comment by Melknee09 in Pa unemployment: can anyone help me out and explain what this pay type means? I opted to have taxes withheld, 10% from what i believe. Thanks. by Melknee09
It looks like you are waiting on your payments. The first week after being eligible is a waiting period, you do not receive pay for that week. If you have been expecting payments longer than that and haven't received them, contact your state rep to get unemployment in touch with you. And continue to submit your weekly certifications in the meantime.

It means they withheld federal taxes. You'll get a form next tax season that lists how much tax you paid on the unemployment income. Not everyone opts in to have tax withheld, they choose to pay that when they file their taxes. It just distinguishes between the two.

You can get prescription sunglasses. I switch out my regular glasses for my prescription sunglasses I leave in the car. I spent less than $20 on them. It might not make you love the snow but it makes all driving easier.

Reply to Potato Chips - What is your favorite brand and type (Regular/Kettle, etc)? by Speakslinux
Middleswarth BBQ chips when the flavor is just right. Over the years, the flavor quality has gone downhill though. The flavor seems to be more salt than spice anymore.
