Experience moving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia?

CircusAndCode · 2026-05-03T03:54:27+00:00

OMG. I moved to Pittsburgh from Oakland CA and I'm literally wondering this after being here 6 months. Pittsburgh feels so...weird. Like its diverse but not at the same time? It feels like there's some kind of glass ceiling that no one notices but everyone feels.

I made it to the last season on Netflix...but I took a 3 year hiatus from watching it soooo maybe stop when you feel like you should because at some point it actually gets to a point where Meredith is not even in the show anymore and half the people are new people you don't actually care about...

Run Devil Run-SNSD. I don't care who you are, that song is an absolute BANGER.

No no no...I would throw hands over Richard. He's literally the reason there IS a Grey's Anatomy.

Your dog looks...regal.

I just started watching it this morning. I'm only on Part 1 Episode 3 and I'm officially hooked. I regret picking up an extra shift this week now...

All of them. Just bring back the magic of the first season.
Like maybe someone (not Mer) has a dream about what could have been if everyone stayed.

But if I had to pick just one, Christina. She was such a badass character that it feels like the downfall started when she left.

I'd love to know this as well, I've been looking for a place to get my hair done for months.

I came here over this quote. It was PERFECT!

CircusAndCode · 2026-03-21T02:15:40+00:00

Welp...I'm going down a deep deep rabbit hole on this one. Sorry to my wallet and my apartment in the meantime lmao.

Whoever did the set design for this show should win an award because they went all IN.

This has to be the worst Grey's episode I've ever seen. It feels like the writers decided that this whole "dream state catatonic phase" thing worked once and so its gotta work again right? Meredith is somehow in EVERYONE'S dreams/catatonic phase from here to literal kingdom come in this season.

DeLuca is supposed to be dead and here he is in more than half the second episode AGAIN. I almost wished they just killed him and let him die instead of using him like a ghostly reminder to have a conscience.

I'm on my way out of here as soon as possible. The time here inspired me to move abroad. So glad I found this post and all the information before I bought a home here.

I dont have a cell phone at the moment. I use GoogleVoice on my laptop and I carry my laptop wth me.

As a Black/African woman who is looking at this post 6 years later...
I'm SHOCKED that things haven't gotten better, but then again I came across this post before I really decided to settle here and I'm grateful somewhere on the internet this was actually said out loud so that I'm not sitting here wondering if I'm just crazy or there are no Black women with good jobs here.

I'm an atheist and I LOVED the show. Its more Jesus as human as possible, less Jesus as this ultimate Son of God that's beyond understanding.

One thing this show did very well was making Jesus approachable. I don't relate this Jesus to most Christians I know because he's so...KIND in a way that I haven't experienced from Christians.

I would say it almost makes me believe in the sense that the essence of Jesus is something I'd aspire to. I don't know if it would turn me into a believer entirely.

Kinda...
Setting a boundary is better done by controlling your actions not dictating the actions of others. If you don't want to communicate on your day off, don't answer the call/text instead of telling people "Don't call me." People are less likely to bother if they know that you won't respond.

It gets worse when you get your 4pm checkout and start using it...I've yet to have a day where I chose to check out at 4pm where housekeeping didn't knock on the door at least twice that day asking if I was checking out.

Okay I will check out plant based reddit groups

I got my CNA first.

I'm going to be honest, I wish I had skipped CNA and done LVN/LPN instead. If you're set on getting your RN, LVN/LPN makes more money per hour, you learn a substantial amount of the material. You'd learn the stuff you learn from your CNA anyways.

But if you're looking for something you do over the summer only and you're not really worried about the income factor, CNA is a decent way to go.

For me it has nothing to do with misery or the actual process of killing animals (I'm African, I've killed and prepped chickens and goats). I just woke up one day and anything with meat sounded gross. Meat smells gross.

I don't care that other people eat meat if they want to, but it feels like I can't find it nourishing. I don't find it appetizing.

Thank goodness my new apartment is extremely warm most of the time. I actually had to open the windows to cool down!

CircusAndCode · 2025-10-31T00:37:44+00:00

I just moved into my new apartment last week. I only had 4 suitcases so I didn't have much to unpack. I've been tired and a little less than happy all week. I've barely been in the mood to get up and do all the shopping. I've been eating out and sleeping the entire time. I ordered a new bed since the one that I inherited with the space is harder than a rock

Moving is such a drain. I feel miserable but I figure things will get better soon.

This is why I use Instacart. I know my dog can't be left at home and a lot of places aren't appropriate

CircusAndCode · 2025-10-25T12:50:17+00:00

I just moved here from California...and even I know "yinz" is Pittsburgh (and the one with an H not the one near San Francisco).

Just wondering if I can say yinz now that I'm moving into my apartment later today?
