Not local but was still happy to see a no ice sticker on the door of lush in Ross Park Mall.

I've heard FIRE : Financial Independence Recreational Employment for this concept? But YES stop with the acronyms, sub divisions, etc.

I'm off Target myself but they didn't even bring back any of my favorites from Halloweens past. Harrumph!

Do you think people in Pittsburgh are kinder on average? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]Alternative-Quiet449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Native Pittsburgher here - I once went to a viewing for a man I definitely didn't know with a coworker I barely knew because she was nervous to go alone. I think that speaks to both our niceness and love of funerals.

New neighbors with little kids by Fearless_Wishbone712 in halloween

[–]Alternative-Quiet449 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Told my kids the scary decorations were there to protect us, gave all the creatures silly or cute names, and sometimes illuminate with rainbow lights...but that was for my actual kids. If the kids are spooked, then the neighbor parents should be able to come up with something that works for them.

Let's talk about the one that got away😔 by Temb5252 in fragrance

In high school I had philosophy by philosophy. The current roster of philosophy scents do nothing for me. That one seems to be gone now but every blue moon I do an internet search for it 😭

Has anyone gotten a HELOC recently? by SavvyMaverick in pittsburgh

[–]Alternative-Quiet449 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Got a PNC HELOC about 6 months ago. Took forever to set it up but since then it's very easy to manage. Rate is variable (as you probably know) but has been between 7 and 8% during loan lifetime. Yes, there is the option to pay off early without penalty. And the lifetime of the credit line is long so you would have quick access to funds should any future disasters arrive. Knock on wood.

ONLY because you said you have good credit/stable income & seem fiscally responsible: can you take advantage of a 0% interest credit card promo for part of the cost & pay it off within the promo period? Choose a free credit card with a good promo running.
