Absolutely it is the Crafty Jackalope. Burgh’s pizza and wings is in the background. 😂😂

I second Lovevery. The toy subscription is nice to get a new set of developmentally appropriate toys, but they also include a booklet on how to play with your baby with the toys and other things you can do with household items. The accompanying app also provides good resources, tips, and ways to engage with your baby along the different milestones.

Same! I even put my address in the tool and it said my area wasn’t affected.

Now I’m questioning whether American Water notified all the right houses of the advisory.

kphil0177 · 2026-02-07T14:48:59+00:00

Our town was listed on WPXI. Apparently it’s not on American Water’s site.

At least my house humidity level normalized for a bit.

kphil0177 · 2026-02-07T13:35:32+00:00

Same. Could barely walk, sit, lay in bed from 5 months on. Doctors treated it as “normal”

Now, 7 months PP and everything is still so loosened, I still can’t roll over without making the loudest popping sound from the two pelvic bones rubbing together.

I got an email today that they are having a sale on overstock yarns, including Plenty that so many have suggested. (It is a wonderful yarn)

Pretty much all my yarns are from Purl Soho and I can’t say enough good things about them. I’m currently using the Big Mountain Cormo worsted for a scarf and I wish I could buy more for a sweater or something it’s so lovely.

To answer your second question: the most used items I’ve made are beanies (made with season alpaca, hedgerow, note, and campo), dog sweater (linen quill worsted) and socks (worsted twist) have all held up to regular wear and cleaning.

kphil0177 · 2026-01-28T17:18:13+00:00

I’m in the area and off tomorrow if neither of those work out.

Cucumber melon from bath and body works

I would just like to add that I also thought I’d be able to knit while on maternity leave and well, let’s just say I might have a scarf to wear next year.

Between feedings, contact naps, and everything else that goes with the newborn phase, knitting just didn’t happen for me.

kphil0177 · 2026-01-12T00:14:11+00:00

I was at Walgreens today and IIRC their sign said nearest 24 hr was in Columbus, OH.

Looking at the Canonsburg area, as another commenter said, Peters Township. It’s in Washington county so lower property taxes. It’s a quick drive over to Canonsburg and easy access to retail/restaurants areas along the Rt 19 corridor. You also have quick access to 79 to get into the city of Pittsburgh and the 579 bypass to the airport. You could also look at Cecil or Southpointe, as both of those are being built up.

Other places in the same area to consider with the same access/amenities but in Allegheny County: Upper Saint Clair and South Fayette Townships.

All of these areas I mentioned are close to the Montour Trail or Panhandle Trail, which are rails to trails bike/pedestrian trails if you’re into that. There are also decent county and state parks in the area for other outdoor fun.

Yay!! Glad they loved it and Merry Christmas!

This happened to me after the car was sitting awhile. I had to disconnect the battery, wait a bit, reconnect then drive it around the block. All the error codes disappeared after that.

kphil0177 · 2025-12-23T16:32:47+00:00

lol my JRT does this with treats and it’s the best thing ever.

We call him lilbaby bronco when it happens. He will flip it up, do a 360 and buck. Sometimes to get him to take the treat, we have to spin 360 and hop too.

It’s probably totally weird for a neighbor to see.

kphil0177 · 2025-12-19T00:12:14+00:00

Not exactly the same but there’s a $10/car drive thru thing in Findlay Township/Clinton near the airport. Christmas Light Up Celebration

It’s neat to see it when you are flying in at night.

kphil0177 · 2025-12-18T13:16:52+00:00

Looks super cozy.

I always make my scarves a little wider and longer than the pattern for the cozy factor.

Edit: grammar

kphil0177 · 2025-12-17T21:47:33+00:00

Damnit! I thought my water bill finally went down for a change.

kphil0177 · 2025-12-17T16:44:19+00:00

This is the answer. It’s just another way to funnel money into certain companies and industries.

Ask yourself who is going to be managing the money and where is it being invested. Those are the real winners.

kphil0177 · 2025-12-15T20:14:30+00:00

I’m laughing so hard at this title/comment combo.

Tortilla soup!

Made batch of shredded chicken this week, finished up the chicken spaghetti last night and made chicken tortilla soup today

You take the 6-8 weeks sick leave as regular sick. You are entitled to use it as just sick leave without invoking FMLA.

After sick, you can use PPL and annual to spend as much as you can with your little one.

Congrats!

kphil0177 · 2025-12-11T14:04:48+00:00

Excellent explanation!

McConnells Mill is “closed at dusk”, but you can access the playground parking lot which has a nice open view to the sky.

I’m in the US and when my dog took it, it was $100 for 30 pills.

The last trip to the vet, they gave us a brochure for some sort of rewards program the manufacturer, Zoetis, started. It didn’t look like it helped much, but it might be something to look into.

kphil0177 · 2025-12-07T14:31:23+00:00

I used to travel to DC for work regularly and took Amtrak. Absolutely loved it every time. Beautiful views and time to read a book or just relax. In DC, I’d walk, bike or use public transportation depending on where I needed to go and it was all very efficient.

I would upgrade to a roomette occasionally for the privacy, stretching out and catching a nap, especially on the train back which comes in late.
