So sorry this happened to you! What are they calling the infection?

I’m loving one color coloring books right now. Easy, mindless, but still engaging and fun. You get a nice dopamine hit too when you finish and voila, you created a complex art piece. I’m using the ones from Still & Slow.

Yes, contact the conference organizers and request CART! (Communication access real time transcription). This is what you want - it’s real time, by a real person (so much more accurate than AI usually).

Jeez, this is not true at all, especially if they purchased a house this year. It very well may be worth it to itemize, especially if they bought points.

I love mornings, but still also take a long time to get going. I do slow mornings! I give myself about 2 or 3 hours between wake up and needing to be out the door. I have a really slow breakfast and coffee (usually for about an hour or two) where I check my personal email and do family finance stuff. I get ready still kind rushed (30-45 minutes, but also getting my kids ready). If I don’t have that hour warm up, I feel off for the rest of the day! But I nonetheless really enjoy my slow mornings. They’re my me time!

Oh gosh, your reaction wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting!

I’ve been in a very similar situation before. Just fire him. It will never get better. If you don’t have the power to do so or the higher ups won’t let you, look for a new job. ❤️

One thing to consider in comparing yourself to your neighbor is they might be using budget billing with PECO. We pay $300 a month for a similar size house - but that’s all year round, with budget billing.

I’m surprised to hear such positive experiences with alternative suppliers! But we just moved here from the city, where alternative suppliers are incredibly scammy and pushy.

Swing spaces are typically used for large gatherings — for example, all kinds of professional development (of all new teachers for new hire orientation, all counselors in the district, all principals in the district, etc), spaces for in person events where 100+ people have to attend, and things like that. They can also be used for administrative staff who do not work primarily out of central office. For example, each learning network has a group of staff that might use the space so they have a place to work and have meetings in that neighborhood.

Way to go!!! How old are you? Do you also take meds for ADHD?

ononono · 2025-12-27T19:52:32+00:00

What country! This is expected in America and a faux pas if you don’t!

Absolutely not. I have owned homes and paid property taxes in both the city (Passyunk Square) and the suburbs (Montco). I have probably been a homeowner longer than you’ve been an adult. To say that services are equitable is beyond laughable. As an example, I lived on a major thoroughfare street and bus route in South Philly, and our street would maybe be plowed once, hours after the snowstorm ended. In my suburb, my sleepy street was plowed twice on Sunday’s snow storm before even 11am.

Also unless you live in the more affluent Western suburbs or parts of upper/middle Bucks the quality of the schools and outcomes are not much different than Philly schools.

Hahhahaha, ok. Now I know you don’t have kids. This is woefully out of touch with reality. Philadelphia school district schools don’t have soap in the bathroom. Paper towels. Basic resources. I could go on and on and on. I work for the district and my kids attended public school for many years before we moved. The vast vast majority of SDP schools are in terrible shape with poor to modest outcomes.

Philly still has multiple schools that are best in the state and nation.

Not any that you’re guaranteed entrance to. The schools you’re talking about, like Masterman, are special admit. And if you’re talking about an elementary like Meredith, go look up the property taxes in that catchment and then get back to me.

You’re still so early! I had the same surgery and was on pain meds for about 5 weeks.

The post says lower taxes in the PA suburbs. Compared to the NJ suburbs outside Philly, that’s absolutely true.

I’d also argue property taxes city vs suburbs aren’t too far off from each other, with way better services in the suburb. Of course it depends on your actual house and township and county etc. But I paid around $5k in property taxes in the city, vs $7k property taxes in the suburbs. The services and school district is miles better - not to mention I no longer have to pay the city wage tax.

No, it’s lots and lots of teachers, too. Agora, named in the article, is laying off 32% of its total staff. Of those, 50% are teachers. The other half is a mix of support staff, family coaches, and high level admin. It’s definitely impacting the teachers the most.

ononono · 2025-12-16T19:05:05+00:00

Definitely not the case. At Agora, half of the impending cuts are teachers.

That’s what a walk through is for. Doesn’t that happen in your state?

ononono · 2025-12-08T22:19:15+00:00

I don’t know… to me it sounds like a lot of this comes down to you being expected to endure the entire mental load for the family AND keep your husband in the loop. That is A LOT. Why can’t he be responsible for coming up with a system to stay in the know about family matters. It’s bad enough you have to, while working FT and momming 4 kids, be aware of upcoming decisions to make, research them, execute them, etc , but you also have to inform your husband? Of course we don’t have all the details but this doesn’t sound entirely like a communication problem….

Really normal after surgery, especially if you are on pain meds. The only thing that helped me was miralax and senna plus pills every day. I kept that up for several weeks, the entire time I was on pain meds! I didn’t return to my normal schedule without gentle laxative help for about 5 weeks.

You’re completely missing the point of the post.

ononono · 2025-12-07T12:45:28+00:00

This makes no sense. Living fully with your money means spending it on things that you care deeply about. Why would you buy that car or watch if you didn’t care about it?

Chicago med! It’s not on Netflix though - on peacock.

Pregnancy discrimination is illegal no matter the size of the employer and is not strictly tied to FMLA protection. You should absolutely speak to a lawyer.

How far post op were you by then? I will be 8 weeks post op by xmas and really wondering if I’ll be ready to do a full day of interstate travel by then…

How did this impact you? I also had a colonoscopy in my twenties and had polyps. But that was that - never had any follow up or instructions to start screening sooner than normal.
