We spend around $150 in the spring and get enough delivered to last an entire fire pit season.

Reply to comment by Barmelo_Xanthony in COVID paid sick leave in PA? by HERCzero
I've worked with:
-
no PTO or sick days (hourly; you could get a sick day with a Doctor's note, but the time was mandated by number of hours you worked (and YMWV depending on where you work, not all cities have, AFAIK))
-
PTO and unlimited sick days
-
unlimited PTO and a certain number of sick days, PTO could not be used for sick leave and vice versa
Lumped together one makes things tricky, but if it's OP's case - since work mandates 5 days leave, they oughta make those paid sick days outside of a policy (but I guess that would work in an ideal world).

A. Hoagies are cold. You can heat a hoagie, I guess. But to me it’s - hoagies (cold) and cheesesteak / steak sandwich (hot)
Anything else is just a sandwich

Every job I’ve had they’ve lumped the PTO and sick time together. It’s great when you’re healthy that year and can use it all as vacation but sucks when you need to take off for being sick.

I'm moving to Philly in the near future and I'm trying to figure out affordable housing. I spent some time recently feeling out neighborhoods and a section of Passyunk Square (or maybe Dickinson Narrows? I'm not 100% on the boundaries) caught my eye. The area in question is bounded by E Passyunk Ave, 6th Street, Washington and maybe Dickinson on the south.
There are some little side streets in there that look like they have small rowhouses that are well kept and the area felt safe to me and shopping looks close and convenient. I'm not going to have a car, but considering the parking, that might honestly be for the best.
Does anyone have any input on this section of the city? What's it like living there? Anything to watch out for?

We do this every year and we even get a couple posts from vexology. And all they come up with is remove the ladies.

Hey guys. I'm 26 years old, work remotely in tech sales. I used to live in Boston, but last summer I moved back in with my parents in Exton PA after a breakup and wanting to reset. Living with family has been great as far as saving up money, but it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot going on this far out from the city. Plus I'm pretty far left and the dating apps are largely conservatives out here.
I was thinking of moving closer to or into the city while I'm still young to maybe get a bit of city life and perhaps meet people along the way. I know that the city itself though has an extra tax, so I'm not sure if it's silly to live there when I work from home and can live anywhere. At the same time, I don't really know a lot about the surrounding neighborhoods or if there's anywhere else nearby that's a good fit for people in their 20's. So basically I was hoping some here could provide guidance and help me figure out which neighborhoods in or around philly are good for my situation.

William Penn's coat of arms is pretty boring as a flag though. Just 3 white circles on a black bar across a white field.

I thought I scored the mother load the other day before I found it had termite infestation. I decided not to risk bringing that near my house.
