I'm usually the other way: if it ain't gonna be the Steelers, the further from them, the better.

So anybody (other than NE or a Brady team) over a division rival.

And most NFC teams over most AFC teams.

NFC north in particular, I can easily root for.

Personally never been a big Eagles fan but lots of my girlfriend's circle of friends are from out east, and I have no trouble cheering on the eagles alongside them.

Of course it’s ok to root for the Eagles. Many members of My extended family went to Penn State. I always cheered them On / wishes the best for them. Until they played PITT. That’s right,you guessed it. That’s where I went to college/ grad school. Now that there are only occasional games( what were they thinking?) I had to wrestle w my Loyalties.

I just got tested. They listed to cost as $536 for standard skin testing including a breathing test and consulting fee at ENT & allergy specialists of western pa.

The paperwork from my dr's office says the codes are 95004 and 95024 for skin testing and 94010 for the breathing test.

Paperwork also says that injections are $215 for one bottle, $300 for 2, $445 for 3+, depending on your treatment needs. Bottles will last 2-4 months. Injection fees are $25/1 or $30 for multiple.

I opted to go with a different treatment plan (drops) which are not covered by insurance. They are $280 every 11 weeks. Saves me having to go into the office for the shots.

This is super weird. Like super weird. You need to see how old they are as most likely these are not going to be very efficient. A normal response from a homeowner who needed more hot water would be to go tankless not add another 40 gallon tank.

Also, most likely the tanks are in the basement which generally are not insulated well so keeping the two tanks heated is going to cause them to be almost constantly running.

I’m also trying to figure out in my head how 2 tanks would run, does one go to one part of the house and the other go to a different part or does one feed into the other?

This is very curious.

No, Pittsburgh, if you incorporated the area surrounding is much less than killings shootings of Chicago. Chicago took over all the neighborhoods back in the Capones days to control the city. Pittsburgh saw the problem and kept many area neighborhoods a seprate municipality ,fire,schools, maintenance etc. more jobs more control and MORE Safety. This is why some neighborhoods in Atlanta are trying to become there own city because majority of crime is in just a few sections. Facts stink

Sunscreen only lasts 2 hours, so if you're applying it in the morning with your skin care routine then sitting inside for the next 4 hours it's pointless. I carry a mist with spf for if the sun comes out but its better to just wear a hat and sun gear, umbrellas are not just for rain.
