Reply to Did you know that Pennsylvania is one of the 19 states that doesn't have an official language? by so-unobvious

I actually didn't know this about PA, but I did know this about Texas (was born and raised there lol). There were a few cities in the countryside around Austin Texas that speak like a mixture of German, Polish and English, and they also make the best kolaches on the planet lol

Edit: I made it sound like there were whole countries around Texas' capitol, but I really meant "not big cities like Houston" lol

Reply to I am 100% for this and want to see what everyone in Pennsylvania thinks ? Kill a parent drunk driving pay child support. by [deleted]

I may be biased because my mom has 5 DWI's and she caused an accident when I was 4 where my uncle became permanently brain damaged because she was drunk driving, but they didn't even charge her then. I do like the idea. I'm not sure about all the details, but I personally am for the discussion of certain details.

But I am ultimately for the idea.

Reply to comment by Capital-Giraffe-4122 in New car failed inspection. Was pressured to pay about $1k in repairs to pass. I took my car to the dealership instead and it passed inspection by mandyaffogato

This is how it was in AZ. However, i only discovered it, after driving a vehicle for like 3 years without getting any of the "proper" stickers, and then purchasing a SUV that needed us to actually get new stickers. However, that SUV was right at the "classic car" stage, and that was one of the drive through parts.

Texas and PA are (as of this post) NOT like that, but once I experienced it in AZ, I felt like that was such a productive way to do it. Especially because if you need some type of work, they tell you exactly what it is, why it's important and time to fix it and go back.

Again, not perfect but it was definitely the best out of other places I've lived lol

This is SO UNFAIR for you, but I totally understand where you're coming from.

I'm not a mechanic, but I grew up helping my grandpa, who was a diesel mechanic, with cars. My husband, bless his soul, knows way less than I do.

Anytime we've had any work done, I'm always ignored by the mechanics, even after I answer the questions they ask my husband.

And before I pay anywhere, I always say "let me call my grandpa, he is a Vietnam veteran, 101st Airborne" (which is 100% true, but I never actually have to call him lol) and I swear I always get discounts and honesty after. That's why I do it, because I know enough, but they still try to take advantage of me.

I hate it that I have to pull those cards to just get proper car treatment, and you shouldn't have to either :(

Reply to People talk about ticks all the time, but nobody talks about these evil little monsters. My son and I were swarmed by them in the state game lands. They carry Lyme as well! by drunkmonkey176

I grew up picking ticks off of dogs and never once had one on me. I got bit about a month ago! It would not detach from me, and I ended up having to dig the rest out of the bite area.

I still have the bite area just chilling on my side. Just surprised me that I finally got bitten after several decades lol
