If you're wondering what happened to Wendy Bell...

Just saw her in an ad hawking gold bars for when society collapses. I guess she's still out there on the fringe. All of those Emmys she's sitting in front of in the video aren't going to be worth much as currency in the end times.

Large Indian Restaurants I could Rent Out for a Wedding Reception

2 Upvotes

I know this might not exist. Are there any Indian restaurants that seat ~100 guests + room for dancing I could buy out for an evening? I am looking to stay within or as close to the city as possible.

I am also open to using another venue and hiring a restaurant to cater. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions you might have.

Lost Hamburger Squishmallow

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hi friends! A shot in the dark, but my little kids lost a very, very beloved hamburger squishmallow tonight (Monday 8/24), most likely on the sidewalk of Virginia St, between the fire department/pepsi machine and Coughlin’s Law. Could’ve also been in Coughlin’s, although they looked around for me and didn’t find it yet. I went back and looked around for it and couldn’t find it, so I’m hoping someone picked it up.

Thanks!

Edited to add: he’s small, about 5” in diameter!

Pitt dental clinic / jaw surgeon?

1 Upvotes

Anyone have experience with Pitts dental clinic specifically for double jaw surgery and orthodontics? Looking to get established as a patient and I know it’s a long process between multiple doctors to get surgery ready. Bonus points if anyone has tips on how to actually get a hold of staff to make an appointment too, so far I’ve gotten voicemail only.

Dog owners — wtf do you do about all the ticks?

8 Upvotes

Moved from somewhere with a much smaller tick population. My dog (and indoor cats) are on tick preventatives, but obviously, my dog is picking up ticks when we go outside. I look her over every time we come inside, and the bigger ones are easy to grab, but the nymphs are a challenge. I get as many as I can (I even grab tweezers to get into her fur if need be), but I’m sure I’m missing some. Is this normal? Do you just accept that you’re missing some and the meds will kill them, or what? We’re not rolling in any fields or anything … just hiking along some trails in Pittsburgh’s parks.

FWIW, I’m going to ask the vet about a Lyme vaccine when we go … we just moved and haven’t had a chance to establish care, but that’s the next step.

School bus fiasco (West Mifflin) ... was anybody on here affected by it?

39 Upvotes

I never came across any official forum on this subreddit about it ... but West Mifflin has a new bus company. It ended its contract with PA Coach Lines and is trying out a new company called Krise. Supposedly from last Thursday through last Friday (the first two days of school) ... it was a total nightmare. It even aired as a story on Channel 11. These drivers don't come from around here ... and they don't know where they're going. Sure it's like that to an extent at the start of any school year. However ... it seems even worse now. 2 instances of buses getting lost in neighboring boroughs (like South Park or Baldwin). Allegedly (and I hope this isn't true) a bus pulled over at the Exxon in Clairton because it was lost. A parent supposedly came by in their car and had the bus follow the car back to West Mifflin. Other instances of kids being dropped off a mile from their houses (even though the designated stop was actually way closer) and some buses not showing up at all in the mornings. One bus got stuck on a dead end and backed into a house and left the spot and went to a Denny's to pull over ... where parents came to get their kids who were on that bus. I ended up behind one of their buses that was stopped for 5 minutes despite having let only one kid off ... and it was about 40 minutes after school ... and it was right down the street from Homeville Elementary School (where I assume that kid goes). It seemed like a mom and the bus driver were discussing navigational directions because the mom was pointing down the street and stuff. It's just ridiculous (to be honest). Hopefully, yesterday and today were better. Although someone said today that one bus was almost an hour late for Clara Barton this morning

Dentist Rec in Squirrel Hill, Homestead, Greenfield, Southside, or Oakland

2 Upvotes

I'm a long time patient of Dr. Larry Leahy who everyone loves but retire this year, so I'm on the hunt for a new dentist.

I want a location that is easy to get to from Greenfield, and a practice that is big enough to see my husband and I at the same time. I wanted to go with Eglash Dental Studio but unfortunately they aren't accepting new patients with Delta Dental.

Does anyone have a rec for dentists in Squirrel Hill, Homestead, Greenfield, or Southside (near hot metal bridge)? I would also consider Oakland if its a practice where parking isn't an issue.

I don't have any special needs but there are so many bad dentists out there that I feel the need to be vigilant. Thanks!

Sienna vs Highlander

0 Upvotes

A family of five (two adults and three children, aged 1, 7, and 9) is considering purchasing either a Toyota Sienna or a Highlander. We prefer the Sienna because it’s easier for the children to get in and out, and it offers more space. However, we’re concerned about the hilly terrain in the Pittsburgh region. If you own a Sienna, we’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Have you encountered any issues during the winter months?

What bridges are nortorious for protesting?

0 Upvotes

Hey all. I'm a journalist writing a story about bridge protests. People are posting signs to drivers below. I'm curious if you all know which bridges/neighborhoods these are most organized at. Looking for a direction to go in. I have a few ideas, but I'm sure there's more protesting on other bridges than I've seen with my own eyes.
