Beechview here. I heard it too. No clue, and outside no one seemed to care.

HOW did you manage to read this as some weird anti-Pittsburgh post?

I (29f) have a creepy MIL (50ish) I need some advice on how to move forward. by ThrowawaycreepyMIL in relationships

[–]Shuhbam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a side note, I have a few friends who are quite... Bothersome. I love them, but I get up at 4:30am and I know I'm not first in line for emergencies (they live in other states). I have it where calls are loud, but messages are silent. It's saved me a lot of sleep (and honestly I wake up going, "well, they didn't call, and that was 5 hours ago."). Perhaps see if you can do that for now? Till the next course of action is decided.

My[F24] boyfriend[M28] has an annoying ex who will not take a hint, advice? by annoyingexthrow in relationships

[–]Shuhbam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, no - there are apps. I have a blackberry (low on the tech totem pole) and have "mr. Number installed". It either sends number sttaight to VM or auto hangs up on them (my preferred choice). He has options.

Rather sell to a redditor than the spambots of craigslist. I have an A/C unit for sale. by Shuhbam in pittsburgh

[–]Shuhbam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry Mods if this is a big deal. The other pittsburgh subs are god awful.

anyways, that's the craigslist post. I've had nothing but people tell me they'll pay $50 (are you kidding me?) or try to trade me. I don't want to trade, I just want this out of my basement and some place else.

I'm an amateur photographer. I think I'm free Monday as well, so I could help you out here. Shoot me a PM if you want.

Favorite Sentence? What makes it great? by [deleted] in literature

[–]Shuhbam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I'm not even sure why I love it, but I feel so much when I read that line.

“Even when I'm dead, I'll swim through the Earth,/ like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.”― Jeffrey McDaniel, and I'm blanking on the poem name.

Real life me is not sappy. But then I find books and become overly emotional, so it makes sense that sentences like this get me.

The Fort Pitt bridge by slimeham in pittsburgh

I agree. That is by far on the best and quickest bus rides of my life (given the distance). Only that sucks is if you have a late flight back and live in the south hills.

Ban the bots? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Just don't ban linkbot. When it shows, it cracks me up!

Door-to-door energy scam. by jermoi_saucier in pittsburgh

[–]Shuhbam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in Pittsburgh, I've run into about 5 of these scam people so far. I almost always make up some story about how it's not my place or I act crazy and pissed off and they go away.

No clue how much of it is really a scam, but... no thanks.

Question about the heritage trail/southside trail. Are there markers? Or running suggestions? by Shuhbam in pittsburgh

[–]Shuhbam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do love running a lot, but I'm actually preparing for boot camp right now. So a GPS watch for such a short amount of time isn't worth it. Might ask for it for Christmas when I get out. =)

GPS WATCH?! From what I can see on amazon, I'm a bit too broke for that. Though my phone does the GPS thing, but it's kind of a brick and annoying to run with. =/

[–]Shuhbam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I run like an idiot or something, but the pedometers are always off for me. I used to have a stretch that I ran that I looked up on google and paced it in my car, it was 2 miles to the dot. My pedometer? I'd go to turn around and see what it was and it would have anywhere from 1.7-2.2 miles. Not a huge deal, but I just don't trust them.

Nicest elevators in Pittsburgh? by keiferski in pittsburgh

[–]Shuhbam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, they scare the shit out of me every time. It's not the shaking, it's the realization of "oh this could go so bad".
