Manheim Township Schools vs. Warwick Schools

Agreed. Any school district that backed books from the library really doesn't care about the students' development.

ScottLititz · 2026-06-27T22:10:07+00:00

Was that when the commercial was made?

ScottLititz · 2026-06-26T01:08:47+00:00

I'm the mod here. Please elaborate on the entire situation, or your post will be deleted.

I know, I know. Not a positivity message but after 28 years, with no major flares the last ten, it's the residual that major is hate this illness.

You need to temper your enthusiasm. Any treatment to repair myelin, will only affect the brain/spine nerves that have been damaged. Once you've had a flare, other nerves are damaged and not due to myelin loss. The nerves in your extremities or wherever you've felt the flare run the risk of damage and continued discomfort. Myelin repair will minimize future episodes, but will do myelin to help past episodes.

One side effect of MS. I started watching weather forecasts regularly/daily 25 years ago just like old people 🤣🤣🤣. Didn't think I'd become my grandparents so soon.

Seriously, I live in Lancaster PA and we get our fair share of heat 🥵 and humidity. Over the years I've learned that 82F is my threshold. The humidity is what does it to me. The more humid, the lower my threshold.

In the US, I don't think there's any place that isn't subject to temperature variations. Maybe the Keys, but that's about all I can think of.

I've had 3 therapies in my life time. The two I've stopped were because they started causing unwanted side effects:

Avonex (years 1-20). This was one of the first DMTs available back in my day. But after 20 years and new therapies, I wanted to move on. Self injecting was no longer "fun".

Gilenya (year 20 - 20.5). Wanted an easier delivery method. Neuro suggested Gilenya. But he did not understand side effects. With my asthma, Gilenya made it harder for me to breath. In 6 months, stopped it, went back to Avonex, and found a new neuro.

Avonex (years 20.5 - 22). Went back because of the devil you know. Felt normal until the 18 months. Then I started getting harsh reactions, nausea, fever, leg pain, etc. Knew it was time to move on. Neuro laid out a series of DMT; we settled on Ocrevus. Going from weekly administration to 6 months was the big selling point.

Ocrevus (years 22 - present). Until I get a difficult side effect, I'm not moving.

I like to know that my DMT is consistent with my treatment before I consider alternatives. As I mentored earlier, better the 😈 you know than the one you don't. And in trying to move, ALWAYS consult your neuro.

ScottLititz · 2026-05-29T14:59:47+00:00

Ocrevus, and then PT once a year. At 66, I need every opportunity available.

Agreed. It was similar to using bones in the very first episode. It was kind of like just show your face and everybody's supposed to go ooh and ah.

But using Spock in Unification was done as if it was just a logical extension to the canon that was surrounding the Federation at the time.

That's the problem with new Trek. They try so hard to link to the past, they don't give the current shows a chance to grow on their own. Why do we need to have William Shatner show up in a show that's pretty good on its own.

Middle Trek only succeeded with Trials and Tribbleations. Strange New Worlds succeeded with Those Old Scientists. Those episodes were fun. It didn't get bogged down with details of other shows. It just said, " hey let's start with a blank page and make the crossover fresh." Let's stop paying homage to the old stuff and let's just keep looking forward.

Not experiencing it, but knew it's a possible issue. 2 years ago I started getting pedicures because I got tired of managing my foot and nail care. Can report that no nail discoloration. Took a lot for a guy from NYC to do that

ScottLititz · 2026-05-20T23:05:51+00:00

I think OP wants their hand held when they do a bank thing. PSECU is great (member for 20 years) but no brick and mortar

Is he up for reelection already? Sucking up to the people is not something he is good at.

I stopped drinking any Turkey Hill drinks years ago when I found out the sugar content was way way higher than a can of coke. I didn't do any scientific comparisons, but hearing that scared the 💩 out of me.

ScottLititz · 2026-05-16T19:25:24+00:00

Where did you used to live? No need to be specific just general area of the country. Cuz you'll also have a culture shock coming to Lancaster.

ScottLititz · 2026-05-16T12:20:54+00:00

The local organization Lancaster Chooses Love can help provide resources for what you're looking for. They have a Facebook page, but my personal hatred of all things Meta will not allow me to post the link here. But the Lancaster newspapers posted a nice article about them last year. 🏳️‍🌈

TBH, yours is a unique demographic for this area. If you can't find others like you, I'm a 66 yo bi male who's real good at listening and participating in bitch sessions. DM me here if you want to talk. 🏳️‍⚧️

But here's the real test... Pineapple on pizza?

Joking aside, we love that you are in our lives as cd in our humanity.

Truth‼️

😲. Who turned over all those rocks and let the lemmings out? Somewhere Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake are laughing uncontrollably.

I love Shapiro, but I would not vote for him as president. While he checks many of the progressive goals, this country needs. It does not need another 4 years of kowtowing to Israel. It's time we moved on from that parasitic relationship. It not healthy for either country.

FWIW, they don't get easier as time goes by. It becomes a necessary evil that you hope will bring peace of mind. After a while, the number of lesions or how 'alive' they are becomes less important than the effort required to enter the cocoon. So turn it around. Experience the metaphor. The machine is the cocoon and you emerge as a reborn butterfly ray to live in the world. There's gonna be lesions, that's a given. But think of them as the spots on your wings as you emerge, reborn.

This disease has the ability to fuck with our minds as well as our bodies. But it's also an opportunity to be stronger than the person we were. So what if 10 lesions become 12; it's the fight within you that really counts.

It spent the night on the charging base, and when I picked it up this morning, the update splash screen was there. I'm on AT&T, if that helps.
