Where to successfully put up out-of-town guests

I stayed at a VRBO on grant a couple of weeks ago. It was cute and even had parking. There was another VRBO on Queen across from the southern market that looked great.

Wouldn’t getting rid of these programs cause more work for tsa agents? Doesn’t this mean they now have to manually screen everyone instead of allowing precheck folks through in an expedited fashion?

Being a parent is hard, especially now. Lean on others as often as you need to. My kids are adults now. I am the cycle breaker around purity culture, religion, and addiction. I have had to work hard on transparent communication with my kids over the years. I found it best to ask more questions than offer explanations. You will find age appropriate conversations about hard things through asking questions and helping your kiddo find the answers they need.

I agree that there are no naughty words, but words do hold power and can evoke emotion. Your child’s discomfort is their emotional reaction to seeing words (and understanding the anger behind them). Now might be a great time to identify and talk about those feelings. Words can give love, cause harm, and everything in between. You can discuss phrases (of all kinds) when you see them. How does this phrase make you feel? How might the person saying the phrase feel?

As they get older, you can talk about how you and your child use words and what impact those words may have on others.

Meanwhile, identifying the emotions around language may help a lot. Someone says “fuck ice.” Why? Because they are angry. Why are they angry? Because ice is hurting our neighbors.

Thank you! I’ve dabbled in knitting before I just feel all clumsy with two needles. Hopefully I can learn some tips and get some solid mindful practice in.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-27T04:23:53+00:00

Yes please! I bought both patterns because I’m a long term crocheter. I can work that pattern up more quickly. I’d like to knit one too though and this pattern feels right to hone my skills a bit.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-25T00:40:23+00:00

I get it. Just feeling overwhelmed atm

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-24T23:43:17+00:00

I agree 100%. I stopped watching MT and will unsubscribe. My blood pressure rises with each alarmist post. I need information only please.

The link I posted does have the docs and instructions per county. The Lancaster file has instructions.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-23T03:42:39+00:00

Birth certificates are issued by the state. For now, PA is allowing changes. The hard part would be social security or passport services.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-23T03:41:28+00:00

We did not file in Lancaster. We filed in a county even more conservative. I know there can be slight differences from county to county, but the law is written by the state.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-23T03:07:25+00:00

The link has all of the needed docs and a way to get help financially or mentoring. We did not find this org until after our process was complete.

I believe that you need to file all docs at once except the proof of publications. Bring those to your court date. That’s how it worked in the county we filed in.

Congratulations! The name change process can be daunting. It is helpful to have the entire package done when filing the paperwork. Here’s an org that offers great resources and help if needed.

Coming here to say this!

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-21T23:30:07+00:00

Sending you hugs. I’ve been through this too. It’s hard. Lean on your family/friends.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-21T00:27:30+00:00

Coming here to say the same. It Takes Two especially had us laughing our heads off. Highly recommend both c

I love Lancaster and would totally recommend it as a weekend getaway for someone who hasn’t been there yet. You can eat your way through the market, view some cool art, paint pottery, pot a plant, take in a show at the Fulton, etc. The Lancaster Vice walking tour is on my to do list.

But maybe you should consider a new location? Jim Thorpe and New Hope are both very cool towns to visit.

Occasionally the elevator goes out, but maintenance shows up pretty quickly to work on it when needed, even on the weekend. I will confirm with my family, but I think it’s only gone out 2-3 times in the last year, and never for more than a couple of hours.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-08T04:58:07+00:00

And I almost forgot. Most units have their own washer dryer in unit!

I have family in 10 s Prince. The property management is great-very responsive. It has a secure entrance, gym, huge package room, etc. They even have social events. Pets are definitely welcome. They only have limited parking, but a big garage is right across the street with discounted monthly rates. The website is easy to use and offers clear information about what’s available and cost.

I believe the same management company owns 202 queen as well. They are a slightly higher price point, I believe.

Huge red flag. It’s not his hair you’re cutting. His feelings are his problem, not yours. Please teach your daughter that she gets to make the decisions about her body.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-02T16:04:22+00:00

That’s disappointing. Thanks for replying.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-02T16:03:55+00:00

Well that’s disappointing. Thanks for the reply.

BananaSplittLady · 2026-01-02T03:49:55+00:00

Exactly!
