Its not even a little bit curious. It just shows you dont know anything about strokes. Its a common symptom of stroke survivors. Heres a link since you dont know.

Hopefully someone like State Senator Kenyatta, but realistically it would probably be someone like Conor Lamb if the state Democratic party elite has their say.

I live in Ivyland Borough in Bucks. Across Bristol Road the property taxes are pretty much double than what I pay.

How do you know? Stock up on drinks when they are cheap, get caffeine so they can work the 3 jobs that aren't covering the bills.
You have no idea what you are talking about, what they are experiencing. Dont ASSume anything.

None of you are paying attention. If he resigns, it goes to Joanna McClinton. She and the Governor are good friends and you lock in SEPA, the largest region in Pennsylvania. Only way she doesn’t get it is if Shapiro wants it. Then he’s picking a placeholder until the general election. Hell he may require the person to pledge not to run if he’s going to be a candidate.

Yes, I agree 100%. Unfortunately, this is not unique to politics. It’s what happens when anything other than merit is considered when hiring someone… especially politicians.

People really underestimate how expensive late-in-life healthcare is. My grandmother was fairly well off, not rich, but they did well. Her healthcare is going to eat all of her assets, leaving nothing left, she has pretty much exhausted her Medicare, and now they start taking from her assets before she gets more. She could live another decade, but it's not going to be a pleasant existence, I wish I had a way to help.
3M (in today's dollars) is honestly about the minimum, because you will likely reach a point where you will need to spend tens, possibly hundreds of thousands a month in healthcare.

> to offer paid personal days
FTFY.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
-
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
-
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Sure, I'm sure there's plenty of solutions that don't allow the state to endorse a religion. The real problem is that they could never make every important religious holiday a state holiday, so by focusing on certain ones they are establishing certain religions over others which is what makes it unconstitutional.
Something like you suggested may be a valid solution except it is discriminatory against minority religions that don't have many participants in our state. I think that's why to be safe, it's best that the state doesn't endorse any religious holidays at all, and we should instead focus on changing attendance policies in schools and in the work place that allow folks time off for religious purposes.
Just to add context, your criteria of 1% of our state's population of 12.97 million is still over 120,000 folks. That's a lot of people who's religious beliefs wouldn't be validated. Sometimes I think when we think of a population percentage, it's easy to dehumanize folks and obfuscate a number of folks by using statistics... Think of how some folks treated the CDC reported 18.2 percent of folks who died from covid. 🤷
We can figure out how to limit or regulate that in a way that's fair for everyone so religious folks don't get more time off than none religious. It may look like a policy that doesn't involve religion at all, but personal free time in general.
I don't want to say force companies to offer payed personal days out loud but....I think we should fight for payed personal days and time off from school. 🤷Work from home and remote learning is doing a lot to make it easier to stay productive, let's use it.
What other benefits do State holidays give us?

Fun fact: The soda/pop divide is pretty much right down the center of PA.
I grew up in Clearfield country where it was "pop", then later moved 90 minutes east to Northumberland county where is was "soda".

Reply to comment by nalgene_wilder in Kindergartner Struck Dead At School Bus Stop In Westmoreland County, Mom Says by jillianpikora
Local news says she stepped out into the street and was hit. The driver (I think female) stopped and stayed at the scene. LE thinks it was just an accident, although the investigation is ongoing. Locals said there is nothing alerting drivers that there’s a bus stop nearby. That’s going on what WPXI said on the evening news @ six.

People aren't hospitalized unless they are a danger to themselves or others. He is not dying of a terminal illness, but depression ends lives.

Democrats just need someone that will stick with the party line. They don't care who it is.
Oh. You mean this person will represent us and what our state wants? Ha! You still believe that shit?

As a Fetterman voter and a long-time depression sufferer, the timing of him needing help is definitely curious. At the very least, it is a sign that not giving himself time to heal from the trauma of a stroke was probably not wise. I really wouldn't be surprised if politics on this level is not for him. He was being dragged for his stroke, and now he and his family are being dragged over his depression.

I’m not a fan of the wives serving out their husbands terms in office. Pick someone who will want to run again and stay in office.

>Good. Better than expected actually. One word, their money back guarantee (if they’re still doing that) is just a credit toward another car.
So do you mean you can't get your trade back or you can't get actual money back?

>Have you tried calling them just to ask what they’ll do in that situation? It might help put your mind at ease before you buy.
Yea I think I did, but sometimes CS just makes stuff up at some companies lol. So yea, I just wanted to hear from real people. It seems like your situation was pretty good. I was thinking about asking them for a website that I can check the status. It just will really mess me up if I have to park the car for some reason, so hope that doesn't happen. I see some people on the news talk about having to park their car, so that's why I was concerned. Hopefully that's a rare issue and there's ways to work around it. Really glad you had a good experience. Hope mine iss too. Thanks for sharing!

I believe that is the case, but if all schools are currently compliant with an even number of sports for boys and girls then wouldn’t they now need to add another boys sport to level it out again?

I mean, look at who we have in politics these days. It's as if the fools will elect anyone, regardless of how qualified they are for the job.
