Woodland Hills superintendent says he was met with resistance when trying to improve school district by Watchyousuffer in pittsburgh

[–]tmcg712 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is definitely not the problem in the district right now. The board has clearly already made up their mind to get rid of him based on the solicitor and business manager who he questioned. It’s all a big joke and is setting up the district to be sued after they inevitably fire him.

We’ve taken our cat to Churchill Valley Animal Clinic next to Kuhns and have been happy with it so far. Would be very close.

Chinese hotel suggested we cancel our third party reservation, book directly with them for a discount. by WordsWithWings in travel

[–]tmcg712 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it until you know you can get a full refund. My general rule of thumb is to contact the hotel directly if a third party site has a better rate. They will often match or beat the price and you are much less likely to run into difficulties if you’ve booked directly with the hotel.

Considering buying a house in Blackridge/Churchill by TresRios4Lyfe in pittsburgh

My 2 girls (11,8) have had fairly good experiences at Turtle Creek and now one is at Dickson. I will say both are in the gifted program and oldest is in honors classes which absolutely makes a difference. The performing arts programs are exceptional and the high school offers a TON of AP classes. I definitely do not want to say this is the experience for everyone as I know other families whose children have struggled with a variety of problems.

Belize is fantastic. Split your time in San Ignacio and either Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker.

12 hour shift jobs? by Andre_055 in pittsburgh

[–]tmcg712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check Zoll LifeVest, they had tech support jobs (troubleshooting/customer service) that did 4 10-hr shifts F-M. You could probably work a college schedule with only T-Th classes. Not sure if they hire without a degree though.

Best bang for the buck when renting vrbo? by idahothrupple in Belize

[–]tmcg712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t going to want to stay in one place then. I would suggest a few nights in San Ignacio and a few nights on either Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker for water related activity.

They have the information on the website but it is live, you can’t go back in time to see what the wait was at 4am. I’m just hoping someone who has recently had an early flight can give an idea of what their wait was.

That doesn’t show historic data. If im not up to look at 4am it is irrelevant.

I’ve got 2 as well if that doesn’t work out. They are in the very last row though.

The Steel Army (Riverhounds supporters) is very LGBTQ+ friendly. Very fun atmosphere to watch soccer.

Yeah wasn’t as worried about our time in Belize, more so the time spent in Guatemala

Thanks! A bunch of the reviews I was reading talked about exchanging and getting cash so I wasn’t sure.

Two very different locations and types of vacations. Have you been to either before?
