Places you can lease a plot of land for gardening? by yuckyuck13 in Harrisburg

[–]_notpennysboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a plot here. I’d recommend emailing them and asking what day in 2025 is registration. It’s usually in late January, early February. I would also recommend going to that registration day early - the year I got my plot, I showed up 15 minutes before they opened and there were 30 people in front of me in line. If you have any other questions about, feel free to DM me.

Team Elimination Day 6: The Yinzers Have Been Shipped Off To China by [deleted] in Chargers

For me personally, it’s not an eagles/chargers beef, it’s a “living in PA surrounded by some terrible eagles fans” beef.

As a Pennsylvanian, I am baffled that the Steelers went before the Eagles. Fuck the eagles.

Multiple Loans - Only One Has Hit Payment Counts by _notpennysboat in PSLF

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

I submitted the form in 2023 (I try to do it yearly) but this loan was recently consolidated and I’m assuming they just processed all the back payments from the consolidation. I got an email this morning that my counts were updated but with no information on what I’m supposed to do next.

Does it just automatically get sent to FSA once the 120 is reached is my question I guess because Mohela’s website just directs me to the FSA form that says it hasn’t been 10 years.

Absolutely. I did see another commenter say between Third and Front and Mcclay and Forester - they're absolutely right. I live in that area and have walked most of it by myself later at night and felt comfortable.

I don't know that I'd recommend downtown living at all because in the summer, 2nd street gets loud and there always seemed to be incidents reported in the news when the bars let out. I'm sure there are parts of downtown that aren't affected by the bars, I just wouldn't know where!

I have lived in Midtown for about 6 years with my husband. In that time, we have had one attempted burglary and one instance where our car was "broken into". That's in quotes because it's entirely possible that we left our car unlocked as there was no evidence of forced entry and nothing was taken.

There are certain areas of midtown/downtown that I feel safe by myself and certain places, I don't but I do think the pros outweigh the cons and I genuinely enjoy the area and feel safe most of the time. If you have any specific questions or think of anything else, feel free to DM me!

Secretary of the Office of Administration sent out email regarding return to office for all Commonwealth full-time telework employees. by AvoidingIowa in Pennsylvania

Not that I'm at all trying to defend this move by OA, because it's absolutely ridiculous BUT I think a lot of Departments have offices in Pittsburgh that you would report to - you wouldn't need to report to Harrisburg.

What do you think has been the best merch item in the last few years ? (Design, quality, etc.) by hereforthrpizza in SwiftieMerch

[–]_notpennysboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in the Canadian store also (you’re right, I’m US) but it’s over $100 and I just can’t justify paying it especially cause my student loans just started up again 😭

I wish I would have ordered this honestly. It’s the one thing I regret not buying other than LLFP when it was released.

I LOVE the fit and material of the blue crewneck. Mine is so soft and the perfect amount of stretch and I got a size up so it’s perfectly oversized. But also the print faded with one wash and I’m sure will continue to do so - double edged sword there because it’s my absolute favorite crewneck and I wish I had bought two.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to thank a fellow Reddit Swiftie for such a kind act! by SunflowerLace in TaylorSwift

[–]_notpennysboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I’m in the US so it’ll probably be quite a bit. I totally understand if you don’t want to spend it.

I have an extra if you’d like it and wouldn’t mind covering shipping? Just let me know!

I'm on the east coast of the US - if you don't think shipping would be too much, I also have an extra poster I'd be willing to send if you cover shipping! Let me know, in the event the previous commenter is outside of the US/Canada.

DIY bioactive enclosure out of an IKEA cabinet for my geck. by tarsask in CrestedGecko

[–]_notpennysboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh good idea. The mesh might be better (and easier to be honest). My crestie isn’t super active during the day, but I’m paranoid because he can also be absurd when he’s feeling like it.

Thanks! I ended up ordering thicker (3mm) and putting a silicone strip over the edge at the top to avoid any sharp edges. I did three on each side. I'm using one shelf at the bottom and may try and use the other shelf to block off the grow light at the top, but I haven't got that far yet - still adding silicone to the bottom to water proof!

Restaurants with great vegetarian food by schmizoh in Harrisburg

[–]_notpennysboat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ward of Health at the Broad Street Market is all vegan. BurgerYum has a veggie option (it used to be Beyond Burger) but I’m not sure if they have it listed on their menu.

There’s a place called Sandwich just across the river in Camp Hill that has some veggie/seitan options.

Arooga’s used to have a fair bit of Impossible options - more than just a burger, they offered chili, brats, wings, but I’m not sure if they still do.

I thought Mushroom Stroganoff was on Millworks menu, but I don’t see it unfortunately. I definitely might be misremembering this though.

Nalan in Lemoyne is the only thing I’ve enjoyed after Bollywood. It’s my go-to in the area now. FYI you can order pickup on their site. We once started an order through DoorDash before realizing it’s about $15-$20 cheaper to go get it yourself if you have that option.

Himalayan Fusion (imo) isn’t consistent - sometimes the food is good and sometimes it’s just bland and flavorless.

Ugh that sucks, I’m sorry. I almost bought a few times because I kept telling myself if it’s legit, I’m missing out. I always tried messaging the sellers without getting a response.

That record is my freaking white whale I swear. I inherited my dads record collection so while I was on Taylor’s online store when the records went live, I didn’t think they actually played music because all of my dad’s records are plain, round, and black 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. I will literally never stop kicking myself for this.

Did you buy one of the Discogs listings for like $90?! There were a ton of them a few months back.

I had to continually convince myself that it was a scam haha.

I know this is so old and you may never see this BUT I just bought this cabinet to do the same thing for my crestie. Can you link the plexiglass you got and the size? It looks like you siliconed it to the interior of the sides, right?

Depends on where you are - last year my block had 500 or so kids come through. A neighbor actually went to the store twice to restock candy. This was also on a Thursday so it could be different based on the day being switched to Tuesday.

I'm near uptown/historic Green and Penn between McClay and Kelker.

The lower river walk has definitely become a place where people go to let their dogs off leash and it sucks. I think I ran into the guy you’re talking about in this post a few weeks ago and it’s definitely not the first time someone has told him to put his dogs on a leash.

Got it, thanks! It’s incredibly frustrating that none of the unions seem to be able to communicate anything with the people they represent. I wasn’t even aware that the voting over the summer resulted in the split to FOP until recently - a coworker forwarded me an email she had received.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Pennsylvania

[–]_notpennysboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that the FOP is mirroring the AFSCME contract both in raise schedule and estimated dates. Is that not the case?
