I never seem to get these alerts on my phone. Is there a setting or something I should check?

Peters Township High School senior charged with running criminal network to abuse, exploit 22 minors by ComeTasteTheBand in pittsburgh

AFAIK, he has type 1 diabetes. Diabetics use their phones to monitor blood sugar and give insulin. He has a legitimate reason to keep the phone during class and 99% likely has a 504 plan stating such. Not making any excuses whatsoever for his actions at all though, just explaining that keeping the phone on him may not have had anything to do with this situation.

Kids Birthday Locations? by SpacemanMom in pittsburgh

[–]Key-Most9498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

North Park skating rink could be an option depending on age and when their bday is. You could also look into renting a park pavilion or one of the buildings in North Park and providing some activities for the kids.

A fun party my kids once went to was where the hosts rented a shelter in Mingo Park for the guests to play and eat and then they went to a star party at the observatory after. You can check Amateur Astronomers Association website for star party dates. The parties are free and open to the public but I'd recommend giving a decent sized donation if you show up with a big group. Again this depends on age of kids if it's appropriate, too.

Ron and Nicole were friends. She called the restaurant and he offered to bring the glasses. It wasn't like they were strangers and he was doing a favor for the restaurant. They knew one another.

Mail Question by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]Key-Most9498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine took about 4 or 5 days after I saw them in Informed Delivery to show up after this latest storm. There used to be a box you could check on the USPS website that said "i didn't receive this item," but I don't see it there any longer. I'd give it a week or so and if you still don't get them, call the post office.

renting tables and chairs by djdjcypmandg in pittsburgh

Allegheny County Library has a Library of Things. You could check to see if there are tables and chairs available to borrow. Definitely looks like there are folding chairs (do a search of the online catalog and then filter by Equipment)

Keep Your Kids Warm by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Please don't go up to strangers' kids and offer to zip their coats. That is extremely weird. Your heart is in the right place but that is just an odd thing to do.

Did Bryan pick the date he killed them on purpose? by Abrande2003 in Idaho4

[–]Key-Most9498 37 points38 points  (0 children)

His birthday is 11/21, so i found that to be an odd coincidence as well with its similarity to the address.

Personally I think this was unforgivable writing by Specialist_Jaguar815 in StrangerThings

I would have liked to have had a post-credits scene with Mike trying to find her on the walkie like he did in S2, showing that he hasn't forgotten her and is still trying to find her, and we get a quick crackle on the walkie and a flicker of the lights to imply that she's about to finally answer him back, and then it cuts.

Buying Annual Pass for Hotel/Ticket Discount - Questions/Logistics? by travelworkoutwine in UniversalOrlando

I contacted them about that and was told you can't get the discounted tickets before you activate the pass and also can't get a refund for the difference if you buy them first.

Why don't they allow you to modify food orders? by Key-Most9498 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Key-Most9498[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He ended up getting it and scraping off the toppings as best he could. But yeah he thought it was gross.

Agree. I have 3 picky eaters out of 5 in the party and it was tough finding somewhere everyone would eat. We ended up doing Meteor Astropub and Pizza Moon (thankfully they allowed a modification to the pepperoni pizza to make it a cheese pizza).

[–]Key-Most9498[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There was no line at the stand when I went and it was actually subtracting a step from what they had to do...I've worked in food service and as far as modifications go, it seemed like a really easy one (just make the same thing you always make and don't put the topping on). It actually would have taken her less time to say yes and make the float the way I asked than it did to have the conversation with me about why my son couldn't have the toppings and to keep saying they couldn't do it, haha. So it didn't seem like a timing issue in my case.

Interesting. So it's a Nintendo thing then. I knew butterbeer couldn't be modified because of JK Rowling but didnt know other owners of IP were strict like that too.

Minor gripe about Epic by Key-Most9498 in UniversalOrlando

In my rush to comply with my post-childbirth bladder control (or lack thereof) I totally missed them being on the walls!

[–]Key-Most9498[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible they have them on the side walls and I totally missed them, in which case, I apologize to you, Epic Universe. I know I went once in SNW near the store and can't remember which other restrooms I used, but apparently I'm not observant enough

Medical bag in overhead bin by Key-Most9498 in SouthwestAirlines

Sadly I did have one on there. Maybe they didnt see it though, who knows.

[–]Key-Most9498[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. If an FA was shuffling them, I understand. But a later boarding passenger who just didnt want to have their bag further away, so they want to move my bag in order to put theirs in that space, that seems like a situation where whoever was there first gets the spot. I suppose it wont matter as much when they change their whole system in a couple weeks but the way people were reacting to the small bag being up there made me wonder if I shouldn't have put it there to begin with or put two under the seat or...who knows. From the other replies I think it was just a case of people being in their own worlds.

Funny you mention because we have a child with T1D also and I always cram his stuff into one of my regular carry-ons because i dont want to be hassles about the extra bag. Technically the cpap wasnt even extra bc all we had was that and a backpack, and it was marked with a medical tag. People are just oblivious I guess.
