What pointers are you looking for, exactly? Not many students coming from a single bedroom home have a lot of stuff to move, so I'm not sure what your issue is.

>Or, you could find a tree company that won't ask questions and just have them come out, say they're all on your land

This is a fantastic way to have something stupid happen, like a person get injured or something insignificant get broken, and now insurance is involved and everything costs 1000x more.

Or, you know, a nosy neighbor sees that you've hired an unlicensed contractor, and calls the police. Which has happened in our neighborhood, because it's full of old people who have nothing better to do than be nebby about other people's shit.

Because, you know, if you remove a tree that isn't yours, you will be successfully sued and liable for monetary damages.

If you're anticipating issues with the neighbor, give your local municipality a shout. There are very likely rules that will dictate who is allowed to do what, when, and if there's any notification necessary.

For instance, your borough/whatever may have ordinances in place that allow any homeowner the right to remove tree limbs hanging over their property, if they're in danger of causing damage. If that's the case, you should be completely within your rights to have the tree pruned without needing to involve the neighbor - but check with your local borough manager or whomever, first.

At the very least, they'll already be aware that you're trying to be a good community member IF/WHEN the evil neighbor tries to raise a stink about it.

I don't know why, to this day, we still use them. Everyone has a mobile phone. The siren conveys zero information to anyone, other than LOUD NOISE HAPPENING EVERYONE.

It could be the Pens scoring, it could be an actual fire, it could be a curfew, it could be Lawrenceville mounting some sort of attack from the river, but no, we use a machine to make a screaming noise.

I think the more important question is "Will it be accompanied by a siren, and will every other local municipality ALSO blow their siren in solidarity?"

Fucking old people LOVE a goddamn siren blaring all summer long, for mysterious reasons.

Wow, someone got real upset they couldn't brag about knowing someone involved in a shooting that happened near a school.

Based on your criteria of "Donnie Iris, the 90s, and ribs" this could be any of hundreds of shows. Gonna need more info.

If I'm not mistaken, each library has a working telephone and a human being on the other end.

Someone remind me, why are we firing baseballs at home plate from the South Side? The pitcher is allowed to be inside the park, you know.

The replacement blade on a reel mower is, essentially, most of the reel mower. You may be confused.

Based on a friend's experience with finally getting the truck he's been trying to buy for 2 years, it's not pretty. I wouldn't go in assuming there's any room for haggling, especially if the dealership has no stock.

Also, I wouldn't even bother driving around unless you've already called someone to set up an appointment to see an actual vehicle. My friend's dealership called him and said "a truck came in, we're calling you and one other person, first one here gets it."

But the thing is, the co-op isn't a bodega. Considering the demographics for the area it's located, it's almost exactly the opposite.

I never said that a conviction would/should prevent you from getting one, I'm saying that being drunk and asleep ON the job means you'd lose that job.

I also never said anything about labor unions being bad, unless you're talking about the police, at which point I'd say that the police union exists solely to protect bad police officers and immunize them against repercussions for their bad behavior.

The Darwin Award is given posthumously. That's the point.

The story is about a shitty cop who got drunk and was caught sleeping on the job and the first thing that comes to your mind is "I'm glad he's safe."

Wow.

Also, I hope your son also installed CO monitors in your garages, too, because those carbon dioxide monitors aren't gonna save your life.

First Google search result for "pittsburgh areca palm."

And a reminder to everyone that any fast food employee caught doing the same thing would be fired immediately, and THEY don't carry weapons.

I wish there were a way to have an observer account, and I didn't need to confirm my name/address. It's a good method for determining which neighbors to avoid.

OP isn't an idiot, they're neurodivergent and having trouble socially. However, OP also tends to not read the things that people post for them in an attempt to help, which is why we're here almost every week dealing with it.

OP - You've got all the info you need to be able to make your trip a success. Stop asking us about it. Seriously. Do NOT ask another question about hotels, reviews, how much things cost, or where the "best places for" anything are located.

OP, you're not taking the bus into town. You're going to take an Uber with your sister, like you've told us for months. Stop asking questions about places that you have zero intention of visiting. We've been through this before.

What you're doing is not research. What you're doing is asking ridiculous one-off questions in an attempt to prove to yourself that you're able to make this trip.

You'll be fine. It is impossible to be 100% prepared for every possible scenario, like you're doing, and if you keep this up, the only thing you'll have gained from harassing people in this sub for almost a solid year is getting kicked from it because you won't listen to reason.

Hey, it's your attic and your time, do what you want. I'm just making an attempt to save you the small fortune in urine removal products you'll end up buying before you realize that your friend is a wild animal that desperately wants to be outside.

When you can convince a feral cat to stop peeing in your house after it's been doing it already, make sure you write it down. You'll be a billionaire.

>but what ever is in her best interest.

If the cat is hiding in the attic, this is your first indication that the cat is feral and doesn't want to be in the house. Given they're already 10 years old, and have been living outdoors (presumably) all this time, it's likely terrified. Let it out already. You're not doing it a favor by keeping it indoors.

Your stray cat isn't a stray. It's feral and is used to humans. You are very unlikely to ever successfully take a cat that has been living outdoors for years and turn it into an animal that will be happy indoors.

The only thing that has worked in the 11 years we've been here is to spray milk in a 1:3 ratio every 2 weeks on anything you don't want eaten. More often if it rains.
