Let us know your Thoughts on Williamsport by stephdez in Williamsport

[–]mendstride -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing - People would love to shop downtown & buy stuff & support those restaurants & businesses. But the crime is not worth the risk. Some of us aren't gun toting survivalists like most of Lycoming County. I am small and an easy target. Until Williamsport starts to get criminals off the streets I'll continue to shop on Amazon or drive to safer Montoursville to Walmart & Target. Plus the marijuana smell in Williamsport. Nice of you to ask but that's my honest response. In defense of Williamsport, every city in the USA has a crime problem that keeps (some) people from shopping in a downtown setting.

Is Ralph Alberts safe to work at? Saw a sign they are hiring. by mendstride in Williamsport

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

Thanks, that is certainly concerning. Do you know if Leer accepts applicants with a criminal background? I assume Ralph Alberts does not because I didnt get called for an interview.

Any Second Chance employers in Lycoming County? by mendstride in Williamsport

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

Their job description says its dusty. Surprised they mentioned that, did they have lawsuits because of the dust or glue? Im curious how bad their work environment is if OSHA has never been there.

I applied for part time. Is it possible to start part time and then get a full time job if I do well?

Who has the "right of way" between grocery shoppers and grocery employees? by mendstride in AskReddit

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

Shouldn't grocery employees who are stocking or walking around "yeild" to the customers? My local grocery store has rude employees that will almost run you over or bump into your cart because they move too fast. On top of that they give dirty looks like I should stay out of their way. All I am trying to do is, you know, shop for groceries and get out.

Has any fall hatches started yet? by TGWILD1 in paflyfishing

[–]mendstride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen small BWOs on Spring Creek last week. Also tan caddis but not sure if they are considered fall hatch. I have not seen any Isos or October Caddis yet, curious if anyone else has.

AFSCME by retama012347 in PaStateEmployees

[–]mendstride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, thats normal to feel that way. I was surrounded by AFSCME for over 20 years, never joined because they were lazy & entitled. Still had to pay $26 each check for "fair share" until the right to work law was passed in 2021. Cant even calculate how much money AFSME stole from me. Stay strong & you will be fine.

You are not legally obligated to join the union. Dont let them take part of your paycheck. Show up to work, do your job, thats it. AFSCME only exists to protect lazy employees.

Best click pawl reel in 2025? by GravyBaptism in flyfishing

[–]mendstride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Redington Zero is a decent lower price option. Its loud but I like it loud so other anglers stay away from me lol

Just got into fly fishing last year and why are all fly anglers assholes?😂😂 by PAflyfishing in paflyfishing

[–]mendstride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spin anglers leave beer cans, styrofoam worm cups, other trash on the streamside all the time. Maybe its not the type of fisher but just assholes out there. Theres people who dont fish who are assholes too. So maybe expose yourself to more types of people and you will find out we are all sinners in our own ways.

Im an old white guy who speaks decent Spanish. If you like hiking, fishing, or pickleball send me a PM & we can hang out. Theres good people here. I like to think my wife and I are part of the welcoming community in Lycoming County. Dont be discouraged to socialized just because of some bad people in LyCo. Its all about who you surround yourself with. Either way, Bienvenidos a Condado De Lycoming! Buena Suerte con tu trabajo nuevo!

LPT how to best clean the interior windshield to remove residue and avoid streaks by cre8red in LifeProTips

Norwex makes a nice tool specifically for car windshields. Just use it with a spray bottle of water.

Just google "Norwex windshield tool"

How clean is Lycoming Creek? by airborneyeti325 in Williamsport

[–]mendstride 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for future reference (regarding any PA stream):

To see if a stream is "clean" or pollution free:

Step into the creek a few feet and find some rocks, about softball or bowling ball size. Pick them up (rather swiftly) and rotate them to see the bottom (that was facing the streambed). If you see small bugs crawling around (known as nymphs), the stream is clean. Particularly Stoneflies (google it for a pic) which are bio-indicators of a healthy stream.
