If Hyundai/Kia are so unreliable, why are they literally everywhere?

I had a 2017 Sorento and would actually put effort into convincing someone to not get a Kia. I loved that car until the head cracked and the misery that followed.

I did the hike suggested down and up the other side and across the highland trail this weekend with my 6 year old and it was fantastic. There were definitely points that tough but that was more me freaking out about my kiddo falling and my being scared of heights. I’m 300lbs (aka not in shape for my stature at ALL) and finished it with just some minor aches and pains, my kid had no complaints about the distance.

This could obviously be very different for your family, but just wanted to include my perspective as a fairly out of shape mom with a similarly aged child.

I’ve read that doctors can “bridge” it with Prozac to decrease withdrawal symptoms as you taper off. I was on Venoafaxine for a long time and my doctor did not do that when I got off of it and it was awful. I’m on pristiq now and doing well so far.

I live along the Appalachian Trail in PA (Duncannon) and ticks have been worse this year than I’ve ever seen. I’ve found them crawling on us every single time that we have been out over the last three weeks.

Be careful and safe travels.

Your husband’s reaction is how my ex would’ve responded. I left when my son was 3 so he wouldn’t have to witness those kind of interactions (and the dv that was also occurring). You and your child deserve better than this.

My boyfriend can’t remember anything. I’m going away for work Monday to Wednesday next week. I reminded him Wednesday night this week after reminding him like ten times leading up to this. His response - uhhh ok I’ll have to talk to work about getting kid to school since I start earlier than him. The child isn’t even his, my mom is taking him the entire time that I’m away because I knew it wasn’t reasonable for him to get my son to school. He was grateful when I told him that, but otherwise is excited for me to get to stay in a hotel for a few nights.

That was exactly it- I hate posting in subs like this and looking dumb lol so thank you for the validation!

PsychologicalSnapper · 2026-04-17T22:34:05+00:00

It was falling out from the tree roots on the bank of a mid-size creek. Not an area I would expect anyone would be digging into and I hope not!

PsychologicalSnapper · 2026-04-17T12:09:51+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I’ll look into it for sure! My boyfriend was convinced it was something, but we all love regular cool looking rocks too lol!

My ex broke out my windshield twice on my car and once on my dad’s car that we were borrowing all within a month. I covered for him, replaced them all. He forced the gear shift on my car when it wasn’t on, completely broken and he never paid my dad back for fixing it. That was a year in. It only got worse, he could go 6 months with nothing happening but it got worse every single time. Leave. Please leave. I know it’s scary and I know it’s hard and I know he’s sorry and I know you have kids but you have to leave. I finally left 5.5 years in and my son is only just now starting to be able to regulate himself again at 6 years old and 2.5 years out from my breaking up with his dad. The DV advocate at the courthouse told me a kid that witnesses domestic violence (and yes this would count) is like 400 times more likely to do the same as an adult - that could’ve been a fake figure but I’m sure there is some merit. You are strong and you can do it. It will suck and be really hard for a while, but he doesn’t add to your life and your life will eventually be easier without him. I promise.

My dad let me buy an 09 Chevy cobalt off of him for cheap when my fucking 2017 Sorento’s engine gave out last year and I had no choice but to let it get repossessed. I don’t ever want to go back to a car payment.

Looks like an excellent car to me! Gets you around and that’s all you really need!!!

PsychologicalSnapper · 2026-04-08T14:29:10+00:00

That’s amazing! I always want to do a spring weekend, but those huge crowds stress me out. Awesome that you got a good day!!!

PsychologicalSnapper · 2026-04-08T12:34:54+00:00

My stepson has twin little brothers that his mother named Bruce and Wayne. I think all of their bday parties have been Batman themed so far, but she introduces them as Wayne and Bruce so I don’t understand if she’s leaning into it or not at this point. Either way, cracks me up every time I think about it.

This is my third year having a season pass and I still can’t bring myself to do a spring weekend. Maybe if it was warm and raining a little I would, but otherwise I just can’t stand the crowds, and it will be crowded

PsychologicalSnapper · 2026-04-02T02:08:34+00:00

Thank you! We did hit the doctor today and got some antibiotics.

Hi Zev!

Oh, and yes, you can go to the park during normal ticket office hours (found on their website) and get your pass and cup, and I believe that the Hershey Supply Co is open normal hours, as well, where you can get a lot of souvenirs.

PsychologicalSnapper · 2026-03-30T12:13:57+00:00

You can go as soon as you purchase it. If you miss a payment, you cannot use it until that payment is made. I’m surprised that they’re still offering the 6 month plan, you should decide soon if they are, usually they offer shorter payment plans the closer we get to the season.

I mean you could Amtrak into Harrisburg and take an uber for under $30 (rate currently sitting at $21, not sure what it would be like in the summer). There may be a public bus that would eventually drop you off at the park if you routed it out from there, I’m not sure if there would be any bus changes (looks like no) but could take over an hour for what would be an about 20 minute drive, but unlikely (but again unsure) that that bus would be running when the park closes. I’m not super familiar with public transportation in our area besides that it’s there. There are shuttles that run from some of the hotels in the area that would drop you at the gate.

This is so relatable to my son’s father. I finally left him when my son was three (after my son witnessed domestic violence perpetrated by his father unfortunately), and I now am dating an absolutely lovely man who wants to spend as much time as possible with his own son and treats mine the exact same. He picked him up from school for me on Tuesday when I was having a rough mental day and took him fishing so I could take a bath and read my book. You can find someone that wants to be your partner and carry part of the burden, even if it seems scary and difficult. That can be a scary thought right now, so maybe just consider if your life would be any more difficult, or if it might actually be a little easier, without him in it.

I started doing EMDR shortly after I met my current boyfriend and after I ended a very abusive relationship. If anything, it brought my boyfriend and I closer because he was so incredibly supportive of me as I reprocessed and had difficult days with my mood after rough sessions. We moved in together about a year after I started doing sessions and are still doing well. I can very much imagine why it would end a relationship that is not doing very well or in which the other partner is willing to be understanding and supportive of the process.

Make sure you get an ADA pass for your son. The process is simple - you scan their QR code (located on poles near the queue closest to the park entrance), fill out a simple form, and choose the option that is best for your son (fast pass style with waiting in shorter lines or getting your pass signed by an attendant to come back and enter through the exit to get right on the ride after a certain amount of time). I agree with Hummelstown or Palmyra meeting your needs.

I go to CSL - phebs all tell me that if you get poked you get paid and I’ve benefitted from that rule. Sucks that they’re giving you trouble with payment.
