I was just called a couple weeks ago , after filling out the questionnaire I wasn’t exempted , so I showed up ( I am not a morning person at all!) they then tell me the case was cancelled but they couldn’t get the text message thing to send the message we didn’t have to come .

Reply to comment by PinsAndBeetles in How can we attract more people into the teaching profession? by jekomo
I’m a ham and live on northern border , talk to Canadians everyday who bitch there teachers are making $80k , I’m like do you want an educated child who grows into a well reasoned adult or do you want the average American ? You can pay your teachers well now or you can pay with idiots later , it’s that simple , I am very proud to be well educated by some amazing teachers , I easily became a life time learner because I had teachers who inspired the best in us , unfortunately within a few years of my graduation many of these teachers were replaced with inferior models who work cheap and the the whole abortion of No child left behind happened and ended all electives in school ( I had wood shop, metal shop, automotive , small engine repair, pottery, photography , year book , home economics , Spanish, French , drivers education , swimming , sculpting , archery among the many that I took ) that sadly don’t exist anymore . I had such a great experience in elementary school that’s also no longer done ,the entire school participated in hunting turkeys ,growing vegetables , picking apples , peeling and chopping apples potatoes and then cooking the meal in fire pits in huge cast iron Dutch ovens , some of my best memories even after more than 50 years . Back in those days your teacher was determined by your last name so I had the same teachers as my older sister and brother , so there was a strong family bond already when I got to school . A good or bad teacher can make or break a child’s future. TYFYS to all the educators on this thread , you don’t feel the love in your paycheck , but there are many who love you and respect your service and sacrifice .

Free life insurance and body armor would be a good start and not electing a governor like Ron deathsantis ( no more Corbetts !)

My first reaction to that is usually bullshit , because somebody is blowing smoke up your ass . However I also find that I am in so many community’s on so many different topics people find out I “straight shooter” I don’t have a separate online “persona “ there’s just me IRL and online , if a person is going to be a friend or have any respect for you at all you can’t be flaming liar , you can’t meet a metric ton of trolls keyboard warriors and idiots who will happily lie to you . Part of the reason I am so upfront online is because I am used to unknowing people making judgements based on what they see , there isn’t a 500 pound elephant in the room . Your only reference is what they say and how they behave . So trying to sell lies will get you disregarded , but telling someone the truth as you know it is uncomplicated , genuine and something that’s hard to find online . So I am a firefighter who changed apparatus from a truck to a wheelchair , and people assume your an idiot and have no life because they don’t see you they see a wheelchair , if I didn’t tell you I was medically retired and in a chair you wouldn’t know . So sometimes I say 100 percent because I know that’s generally a sign of dishonesty however since I am not being dishonest I have nothing to fear , I hope that will come through Lima Charlie . No tobacco enemas from this guy .

It’s been openly discussed in media for years , I was born and raised in NY , moved to PA when i retired , and am a huge fan of history ( lifelong stamp collector 32 years amateur radio license does that ) my dad was born and raised in Scranton , you don’t know me but those that do know me will tell you I am brutally honest . If you tell me what you wanna hear , I will tell you what you need to hear instead , I have a very strict personal honor code & very thick skin as a side effect of my career . And when I retired it wasn’t because I am old it was because of my health , the union put me out to pasture and said enjoy what time you have left .

Reply to Is smoking weed illegal, I know possession of weed is illegal but is it illegal to smoke it in your home by Ronnie-Nesbitt
A word of caution if you live in subsidized housing they don’t recognize medical use or legal state dispensary cards ,they go by federal law where it is illegal , so it’s a hit of clusterfuck , if you have a cannabis card you are supposed to smoke it at home , however since it’s federally illegal your housing manager can and will evict you for smoking or possessing if your caught ( and unfortunately 9 out of 10 times the court agrees and evicts you , I have seen this happen to many times to people and families who are now homeless for following the rules ) .

I always have pork in freezer and Kraut in fridge , I am a hot dog and kielbasa fan and eat something pickled or fermented every day ,and I think legally possession of fresh sauerkraut as a food group is required . Although guilty confession my G/F prefers my Gumbo for new years so I’ll actually be ragin at Cajun. I do have to go easy on the peppers for her unfortunately .

I used northwest they tried to screw me , I moved to PNC about 16 years ago , nothing but a great bank in my experience , I have had a couple experiences of people stealing and trying to use my cards , the fraud division of the bank has reached out to me , saying there’s possible fraud because apps I had never used and restaraunts I had never been ,were suddenly ringing up big sales . They prevented the transactions and I had zero liability protection , nothing but positive experience . When pandemic lockdowns had only drive thru open I would sit in line in my wheelchair , they would come grab me and bring me inside , they didn’t have to , the fact they did speaks volumes about them . Welcome to PA whoever you decide to use I wish you all the best .

Reply to police lights blue and white only no more red? anyone know why or what the meaning is? by [deleted]
PSP fleet currently has Whelen and they use Trio modules on corners that do R/W/B so it can alternate red/blue on slide 3 and do white for scene and alley lights , local departments vary the next town over from me got a new PIU and got a “good deal” on Federal Pathfinder siren and lighting system ( chinesium baked in ) another department really cheaped out and went code 3 , I have seen some crazy shit on K-9 units running blue ( they haven’t caught shit from homeland YET but rest assured it is coming ) randomly police and fire departments will get wild hairs up there ass and defy there own state laws and lighting conventions , departments are like individuals and try to slide things by and see if they can get away with it ,they get caught and it costs taxpayers stupid money ( back in the early 90’s I know a department that purchased and issued Uzi sub machine gun to each officer , ATF shut that down and confiscated every weapon before anybody got hurt ) blue and white is just stupid game playing risk taking by odd ball departments , as I don’t what agencies cars maybe involved , nothing is a certainty , I have shouted out to agencies that unfit emergency vehicles asking if anybody has done any blue white only but so far nobody in NY,NJ , or PA has built any that I know , if I find anything specific I will update you such as who built them and for who , I know guys from Long Island to Long Beach . There is also the possibility of malfunction or some DIY idiot hacking the brain and not knowing what there doing , that happens a lot , most of the major manufacturers have an encryption lock option and it prevents DIY tampering or corrupting the programming . Since programmable digital flashers you literally program what each LED can flash and when . There is a company in Texas called Feniex that markets a 4 color LED light head unfortunately they are very low quality ,and flawed versions of products get discontinued/orphaned by this company almost monthly .

He allegedly got his undergrad degree from Wharton when they were inflating grades to save people from Vietnam , of course trump had already saved himself with hone spurs . My family used to be high up at the school he transferred from Fordham University several of his professors noted he was dumb as a stump , and always trying to manipulate people into doing or giving him things he was not entitled or earned .
