Thanks…my wife is actually semi-retired right now. Her last day was Christmas Day. She is on PTO until February(she had a lot of accumulated time) when her retirement kicks in. I would’ve left earlier, but it takes 8-12 weeks before you get your first check, so we decided for me to wait until August so that we are safely getting her checks before I go.

It’s a stable job. You are guaranteed a paycheck. I work in a totally different field…so I can’t comment on what it will be like for you.

If you do get the job, find out if there’s an option to forgo the 401k program and pay a little more for the full pension. I am under the old Pension plan, so I never really looked into it. I have heard that you can do this, but then I also heard otherwise. But trust me…a 401k only lasts as long as your money(and the state’s matching dollars) lasts. A full pension lasts until you die and you have the option of designating your wife or kid(s) to get your pension till the day they die.

If you’re a young person, you probably don’t think much about retirement, but trust me…once you get into career mode as opposed to just another job mode, those years go by fast. Source. I am 57 and retiring in August

I need to get off of political subreddits. My first mental response was “JFC, what are the wing nuts accusing this guy of now?”

Deep Creek Lake Maryland is about 4.5 hours away. We had a great time there.

It is a cartoon with cartoon state borders….meh

I eat a can of ravioli and throw confetti on my bushes.

Thanks! This is pretty close to where I live. Maybe the wife and I will check it out sometime.

Imagine what an AR with multiple 30 round magazines can do to a school….then get back to me.

Keep voting Republican…

Bob gets to the Pearly Gates, Peter says “Hi Bob….let me show you around!…🎶Ooooooooh….These are the people in the neighborhood, in the neighborhood, in the neigh-bor-hood🎶”

Ummm…look at my flair. Everything in the Harrisburg metro area(Mechanicsburg, Steelton, Camp Hill, etc) is Harrisburg. Everything in the Philly area is Philly, and everything in the Pocono area is the Poconos.

I am sorry you don’t understand the rules…(j/k, BTW).

1. Yes
2. Northeast
3. Yinz vs Yunz
4. Poconos vs Amish
5. ? No clue.

I hear you…and I think it will be an economic boon to the area in the intermediate/long term.

Read my edit…

No, it’s damn near down to the Steel girders. I pass it every day on my way home from work.

EDIT: reread your post…actually? I think they are being very careful in the deconstruction. I don’t know the company that’s doing the work, but they may just be stripping it for resale/repurposing.

There is one about 7-8 miles away from this one(Globe Mills) that is being demolished. It’s kind of sad.

How about all the construction for the bypass? I can’t wait till that’s finished and the Strip will be not such a nightmare.

Psssst….Camelback…

EDIT: yeah…I think it was. I can’t remember which side(creek or road) it was covered. But now? There’s a UUUUGE Trump sign on the road side.

I was thinking large slingshot.

And once again…you refuse to distinguish the difference between Arbery and The incident in Braddock.

Fuck you. We are done here?

MR Bugs…

MR NOT Bugs…

OSAR…C DR EDBD IIIIIs?

Oh…..MR Bugs.

Sure there are…and mostly by right wing douche canoes like you.

No…he heard what he THOUGHT were gunshots. He saw a guy running away from it.

It was an honest mistake.

What was the outcome of Fetterman’s incident? Nothing. Arbery…on the other hand?

You are nothing but a right wing troll.

Lol…ok…ignore the fact that I stated “what he thought” were gunshots…

And completely ignore the Arbery thing…because that’s what Trump Humpers do.

They create their own narrative and ignore everything else…you can fuck right off now.
