Looks like some jag ran over the milk crate.

Thanks!!!

Take her to another grandmas house.

I think what’s more concerning is that pretzels, MMs and a Reese cup was 20 dollars

YINZ CAN GET IT AT ISALY’S ANNAT

I will never think twice about embracing my Catholic faith. I do embrace it. And I am concerned about this boy in that I want him to be found safely.

Just goto giant eagle, buy the islays sauce (should be in a jar that says buy 1.25lbs of their islays chip chopped ham), ask for the islays meat at the deli counter chip chopped, they'll cut it Bible paper thin if they do it right.

Layer it meat then a little sauce in a container then heat it, then transfer to a bun. Bun is gonna get soggy so don't try to heat it on the bun or it's gonna be mushy as hell before you even eat it.

It's referred to as "ham barbecue", I don't think you'll find it at any restuaunt. It was Def an at home meal.

I see she only does telehealth. I am in need of someone I physically sit with and talk to. I appreciate the recommendations though, I will try to take a look into those books! I am not a big reader but I will try to look into those. Thank you!

My uncle would always put some piccalilli (that my aunt had made!) on his barbecue chipped ham, and my aunt and cousin would glare at him, as if he were desecrating the barbecue ham. I'd had it both ways for years, depending on whether my mother or my aunt were making it, but wow people got serious about it.

The fried green tomato on the chipped ham bbq is a family favorite. It’s usually Sunday week 2/3 Steeler games.

I was at the Eat N Park at the Waterfront one time and was like, how easy would it be for someone to pull up in a boat and help people skip out on a check?

i worked at the carnegie science center up until summer of last year. during my time there our pay was raised from a whopping $9/hr to $10/hr (with no chance for raises other than by promotion). I was informed that this was the first our wages had been raised in almost 2 decades. This was easily the worst job i had ever worked. horribly understaffed and minimal training yet they expect you to come to work everyday in an eager mood ready to babysit 3-8yr olds while their parents yell at you and sit on their phones. On top of it they ask you to constantly lie to guests about the state of the museum. Regularly we were told to tell people that exhibits were closed due to covid and other nonsense but the real reason is understaffing due to poor pay. My department was under 50% staffed during my entire employment and their only solution was to blame covid and shut down exhibits (all while not properly informing guests or reducing ticket prices, leaving us, the floor staff, to deal with the angry customers). The supervisors in my department regularly had to skip lunch to account for the lack of staff. The last straw for me was when they sent an annual survey to fill out as a job review. Every single question was about “how could i do more for the company?” and “how am i going to work on improving to be a better employee?”. Not a single time did they ask what more they could do for me to improve my living conditions/work environment. I don’t know how a company could be so tone deaf to ask more and more of their workers while paying you $10/hr (did i mention you need a high school diploma and preferably a science degree to apply). They believe that if they keep telling their employees that “we are a big family and we care about you! everyone matters equally!” that they will believe it. Unfortunately a handful of overworked/exploited workers do believe it and its these sad people that keep carnegie museums from changing. I truly hope that things have gotten better in the year that i have been away from there but to be honest.. i highly doubt it. Truly a toxic work environment built around doing anything and everything to manipulate and exploit their employees. Its a shame that a place that used to bring me so much joy as a child is now ruined for me forever.

EDIT: How could I forget to mention the one of the worst parts? Enforcing any sort of rules with the customer (especially mask wearing) was a traumatic experience. Constantly we had higher ups breathing down our necks that we needed to enforce these rules and if customers got angry/combative they promised they would have security ask them to leave. I cannot tell you how many times i was threatened with physical violence or harassed (quite literally followed around the museum) by angry customers. Truly, you wouldnt believe how irate mask wearing makes people. Despite the promise, not a single time did security or the museum try to protect me. Do you know how embarrassing it is to tell customers that if they cannot comply with museum rules they will be escorted out (again they forced us to say this to customers), then have them laugh in your face when security allows them to stay? They would always say “well we dont wanna escalate the situation”. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I AM ALREADY BEING THREATENED. DO I NEED TO WAIT TO BE PUNCHED IN THE FACE FOR YOU PEOPLE TO CARE? truly a shitshow.

Many places want you to go through the Link which can be like running into a brick wall. Keep nagging them to speak to somebody else or ask for recommendations on where else to call.

AHN has a drop in center on Smithfield and 6th. Hours are inconsistent but the staff there will actively do their best to track down resources for you. Best of luck. DM me if you need some more options but those jumped to mind.

I can satisfy ol’ grandma

Damn I want a Ham BBQ now.

Amy Bucciere is a sex and relationships therapist who also focuses on PTSD, complex PTSD, EMDR, addiction, depression and anxiety. She doesn’t take insurance so each session is out of pocket. I highly recommend her.

Much love to you and hope this helps.

Isaly’s chipped ham, Heinz ketchup, yellow mustard, relish. That’s it

It’s weird that you bought something that out of date on purpose and didn’t return it

try and send an email to link at least for right now, maybe something will open up or put in the email that if there is a wait list please add mother and child to wait list. They are in desperate need. Please contact every shelter from the list in the link below and see if they can accommodate

I’ve had problems at local Walmart, GE, and Foodland with expired food. Then you return it and half the time it ends up back on the shelf anyway

Personal touches are awesome. I have no qualms. I like to make a very spicy version. That said, I still keep the molasses low. It separates it from a traditional BBQ sauce.

Not only are they stocked by outside vendors, they will get pissed if employees move them around at all.

I grew up with him (we for sure know each other Akay) and I haven’t talked to him in about five years since I moved to Philly and got sober. Knowing him his entire life, I’m the least surprised that this happened and I’m even less surprised people have made excuses for his actions. I think the conclusion you’ve drawn is correct.

My grandma worked at Islay's so chipped ham and Klondikes were staple foods when I was growing up.
