Reply to Where to shop / try / buy electric mountain bikes near Greensburg? by duker_mf_lincoln

I'd recommend in Bicycle Pedaler and Outfitter in Somerset. It's a little drive for you but that shop has literally been in there for all of my 3 plus decades on earth. They're trustworthy, clearly not going anywhere. I'd get my bike fixed there many times when camping in the mountains. They'd help for free with small things. Especially if that's where you'll be riding it's perfect. https://bicycleped.com/

Otherwise Flat Tire Co's in Greensburg but I've never used them-https://www.flattire.co/

No. It's linked to your checking account for advantage pay. You need to sign up an advance for this and give her a third party or checking account which is the one that actually does the payments for advantage pay. Then when you want to pay you have to do it at the pump by putting in your pin.

There's no discount just for using the Giant Eagle card anymore like there used to be

Then I don't understand the "it stopped before I could use advantage pay". You're not doing something right.

To use advantage pay hit "yes" on the pump, scan your advantage card, put in your pin, and it works. That assumes you signed up for advantage pay.

If you prepay inside then you're not using advantage pay, which is linked to your checking account and is done at the pump.

Reply to Where to take cardboard boxes or trash by SUCK_MY_DICTIONARY

You're options are, get a dumpster from one of the hauler companies (Michael bros etc), take it to a transfer station (cheaper than the landfill), or take it to a landfill. The landfills don't always allow private people up on the main dumping area but may have a container by the scale house.

I actually switched doctor's from her to someone in AHN because I could not get an appointment. I called about 4-5 weeks before I would need to be seen back in Oct and was told I couldn't be seen until December. I called around over the following week to see if other doctors at UPMC would be able to get me in earlier, which was a no because none would see another doctor's patient, then called back.

Apparently within that week the earliest appointment went from Dec to March. I would have long run out of my medication by then and they wouldn't refill it without an appointment and the yearly bloodwork. The receptionist who was "helping" me basically shamed me for calling and trying to set up an appointment too late. A month before it would be need was too late! According to her you have to call 8-10 weeks in advance and it was wrong of me to expect otherwise. At that point I was over it and switched entirely.

If it ever happens again, I'll pay over what I have and say I want to use Advantage Pay and just refuse another payment type. If they say I can't do that, then that's it. But I told the attendant what my intentions were. The math didn't add up. She called someone after the fact and I left confused. Lol.
