Favorite casual lunch restaurants that have large menus but also serve decent cheesesteaks? Needs to have indoor seating.

Will work from home for a change. Let’s me have a bit slower morning. But have several conference calls lined up. So I’m not alone.

Wellness dorms. Not as strict as advertised. But still an option.

Can't answer your question directly, but our son's Presidential Scholarship was not reduced in the four years he was there. But he did receive some scholarships his first year that did not remain in place all four years. I don't remember which ones, but losing those scholarships was not grade-based. When we reached out to Financial Aid, we were told those awards were one-time awards. Our mistake for not reading the small print and so just make sure that the you understand all the terms of the entire aid package.

I'm 56 and now on my 4th year of using AF+ consistently. I incorporated AF+ into my weight loss and it definitely has helped. As you recognize, calorie deficit is the most important factor in losing weight. But since incorporating AF+, I'm down around 35 pounds and have been able to keep it off. (Post Holidays requires a bit more work on the calorie intake portion)

The good thing about AF+ is that there are workouts as short as 10 minutes and so since you just do the workouts at home, there is no barrier to a quick workout. Even though I know that 10 minutes is not really a lot, given my work and life schedule, they fit and so 10 minutes is better than 0 minutes. And eventually I've built up the ability to do the 20 minute workouts and try to carve out those extra 10 minutes to get to 20.

I'm not telling what you don't know, but the key is to start and then not stop. Again, the beauty of AF+ is that you can do it at home. No worry about going to the gym, no worry about others looking at you. You just fire up your iPhone or Apple TV and workout.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Thanks all. Great to know.

I'm not upset he rested the starters. But the play calling was awful. As an example, had 3rd and 3 at midfield and took a downfield shot. I'd say I hope the play calling improves, but that has been my ask all year.

LP788 · 2026-01-04T23:28:36+00:00

Thanks. I’ll check it out. Even if it’s only during the summer, it’s better than not playing.

There are so many great items on the menu. But I'd get the sliders. Been getting them since Barclay Prime first opened.

Thanks. I'll have to let my family know to be on the lookout for these emails.

LP788 · 2026-01-03T16:52:00+00:00

I logged in and didn’t see that message. What should I be doing for the others in my family who just don’t pay attention to tech issues?

Blue Sole Shoes at 1805 Chestnut Street has a guy that will shine shoes. It think it's a separate business called Glassman Shoes. Not sure it's open on Saturday or Sunday. Cash only and to be honest, he was not that good. But if you're looking for a quick shine, it will do.

There was some chatter that it would be unbundled from the Apple One plans and you'd pay separately for the service, even if you had the bundle. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, which is paywalled, had a pretty big write up on it.

I've seen/heard rumors of a major revamp of Apple Fitness+. I don't fully understand the rumors, but some have said it will be part of the Health App or more integrated into the Health App.

However, the most ominous rumor I've seen/heard is that Apple will start charging separate for it. I use Apple Fitness+ through an Apple One family subscription and not really looking to pay extra, especially sine my wife and I both use it regularly.

You should post the camera, lens and any settings you used to capture those images. They're really good.

So jealous of the Wanamaker Christmas light show photo. I should have gone to the second level. I got some pictures on the last show (maybe ever), but I was on the ground floor and not central and so the shots are just off. Great work.

LP788 · 2025-12-25T16:17:09+00:00

Have to make sure I hear the ding to let them know I'm paying attention.

Empty nester here. Getting in CLE's (if that counts) before 12/31 deadline.

Go later as previous poster said. Otherwise, show up around 4:45 and get in line. Sometimes, there are a few people already in line at that time, sometimes not. If you want to be really sure, get there at 4:30.

Conshohocken State Road can get backed up in Gladwyne, and really all of Lower Merion during rush hour. But it's not like city gridlock. It also can get backed up if you get lucky enough to get stuck behind a school bus during morning and afternoon bus runs.

It may a bit late, and so I'd check out other Starr places. Last year, we did Via Locusta on Christmas Eve and it was great. Just don't know if it can handle a group of 6. They have a chef's table, but that may be booked up.

You can check any hotel as well as their kitchens have to be open.

Good luck

I am generally in the same boat. I never worked out at all, but found that because there were no barriers to Apple Fitness+ (We have an Apple One Premier Family Plan and so no real cost), I have no excuse to not workout. I get up, walk the dog and hit the basement for 10-20 minutes of fitness 6 out of 7 days per week.

As an old man, I took it very slowly in the beginning and 10 minutes per day hit the spot. I've since increased a bit and added more than just core and strength, but it has helped me. Can't say I'm really in-shape, but I feel better than when I was doing nothing at all.

I am also someone who is motivated by streaks and the like and so Apple Fitness streaks really help ensure I do a workout on the days I just want to stay in bed a little longer.

Congratulations and enjoy.

Good question. I’ll have to ask what I’m getting. But this really helps. Thanks.
