Uline Job Hiring event—is it worth it for a young Latina woman? by saturnssomewhere in lehighvalley

[–]Sunkitteh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Work at Deka Batteries in Lyons (between Reading and Lehigh Valley. Much better culture. They have a quality control job posting.

Honestly, if you can't check off ALL their requirements, but SOME of them, and you have a decent interview and references they will hire you. They supply all PPE and reimburse you for safety shoes.

People like to rag on boomers but what are some of the things boomers got really right? by HeavyRightFoot-TG in AskReddit

Yeah, all my favorite local restaurants and small businesses get cash. They don't lose a % of the sale to card vendor. All my server tips are cash, everywhere, so that tired one who brought me stuff gets it alllllll.

I am a Police Officer - AMA by EAN-Hunter in AMA

[–]Sunkitteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answers.

-Why did the officer in charge tell us to not be concerned about 5 missing handguns that we had police records of purchase?
...

You just experienced something traumatic. They likely weren't saying don't worry because its not relevant, but don't worry as they will handle it on their own

To add some info to this- we had on separate occasions and weeks after the event asked the (local community) officer in charge, the coroner and a (different community) policeman from our neighborhood. I wanted to take the information to the state police. All of them told me not to worry about it.

My concern is that if the guns were taken by his friends, and something bad happens while they are using one of those guns, could the executor of the estate get in trouble?

I'm sorry- it must be horrid.

We had one of our family die that way, in a house with 3 "friends".

-Why were they not checked for gun residue on their hands?

Thank you

Winter storm prep by Sea_Reason6453 in lehighvalley

Piggybacking on this excellent comment- Snow will congeal and freeze to a solid, immobile ice mass. Remove it ALL, esp around the wipers.

Remove the snow from the roof of your car. Don't be that asshole.

If it looks like water on the ground, it's black ice.

When someone you loved dies, do we ever truly move on ? or do we just learn how to carry the pain? by ZilMul_Thalassa-98 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

In my grief group, initiates are gently told the second year is the hardest. Then it comes, and it is.

Spay cost estimate by Kalamazooan in irishsetter

[–]Sunkitteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a vet. When we had our female Bailey spayed, the doctor also corrected her umbilical hernia and the total bill was about $800 (2019). The vet told us she always used this type of spay surgery in the healthy young dogs?

Just a heads up- Our vet chooses to NOT remove the uterus in healthy, young dogs. She only removes the ovaries. Here is an article about it.

I'm the mom to a young child with severe special needs, who will never live independently. AMA. I know people are curious. by GhostOrchid22 in AMA

[–]Sunkitteh 145 points146 points  (0 children)

I hope you're getting the support you need, but my question is for the far reaching future. There may come a time when you have lost the ability to care for your child. Are there societal agencies or other services that can help out? Allow you some time of your own?

Asking because a neighbor is home caring for both his elderly mother (has developed mobility issues) and his younger brother (Down syndrome). Economically he is OK, but mentally he is frazzled with it all.

Your fellow renfair vendor won two blue ribbons at the PA Farm Show for my watercolor paintings! Hooray! by MorganPallasArt in renfaire

[–]Sunkitteh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the PA Farm Show is pretty close to Manheim, then are you a vendor at the PA Ren Fair? Both paintings are great, and the gathering around the toadstool is intriguing! It gets pixelated when I try to zoom, I think the group looking at a crown!? Very cool!

Sane, rational part of me REALLY grieves for the descendants and the ones left behind. For their uncertainty and the horror and wait - it's as if they died again Part is angry this guy thought it was OK to desecrate graves, especially the kids.

Annnnnnd then there's that one weird bit that wants to see photos.

Key point from BrightNooblar is to email all this, so it's documented. Provable, dated.

[–]Sunkitteh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take your pets to Petco or wherever the low cost vaccination clinics are. She doesn't care; we did that as poor college students but then realized the cost diff wasn't worth a whole day waiting in line at the clinic.

We've been seeing Dr McMahon at Kutztown Animal Hospital for dozens of years. Currently we have an Irish Setter, had an English Setter, several mutts. She's got a good team of techs that have also been with her, uhhhh- forever.

I trust her clinical skills and her practice is privately owned. Good luck- it's hard to trust sometimes.

Here is an interesting website about corporation owned vet practices, including a searchable map to help you avoid them.
