    OT: Poll: Would you want to live to be 100 years old?

    Yeah, I am on the fence about this. My mom is 95 and still very active and mobile(up and down flights of steps, doing wash, gardening, making cookies, going to shows, etc). If I have my mom's genes and I am able to still take care of myself then yes and the only reason would be to see my kids...

    OT: Pa Snack Capitol

    This reminds me of some business dealings I was involved with back in the early 00's and the PA Import/Export business. Do you know what the #1 export from Pennsylvania was back then(not sure if still the case)?? Cow seman!!

    OT: Pa Snack Capitol

    Didn't they get bought by Anheiser Busch(now In-Rev) and moved to St Louis? Is the perpetual tap of Straub still in St Mary's?

    Congrats to Red Rabbit Drive-In in Duncannon...

    Stopped there a few times but over a decade ago and the burgers were fantastic. Can't eat bread any more so don't stop. The first time we stopped we didn't realize it was cash only and had to dig thru the ash tray and seats to find enough to pay the bill. Didn't have enough for tip so drive down...

    Tips for a golfing newbie

    I play golf and pickleball, don't take it too seriously or it won't be fun. Pickleball was usually an open welcoming tolerable community but the arseholes are taking over and body bagging(slamming the ball directly at them) old ladies. But you need a good group to play pball with. Been golfing...

    OT PA Vehicle Inspection.

    I think it is rare these days that the younger generation works on and restores cars. Back in my day, there were Bondo laden multi-color cars everywhere because kids would drive them while restoring them. I had a car with missing front quarter panels pass inspection back in the day that I used...

    OT PA Vehicle Inspection.

    https://local21news.com/news/local/penndots-enhanced-vehicle-inspection-changes-catch-rebuilt-car-owners-by-surprise I am thinking that PennDOT will need to clarify. This article sounds like it is for rebuilt cars that have been heavily damaged. It sounds like PennDOT wants the car restored to...

    Does anyone say “merchandise” anymore?

    Traditional has been reduced to trad. Trad wife, trad music, etc And while we are being grumpy old people, are kids not taught to cross streets properly anymore? Look Left, Look Right, Look Left? People, not just kids, just walk out in front of cars these days.

    '26 NFL FA Thread

    I am a big Dotson fan for obvious PSU reasons and sorry to see him leave my Iggles but good for him going somewhere else and getting paid. Being #3 behind 2 great WRs had to be tough but he did win a Super Bowl!!

    James Franklin’s house in Port Matilda

    Salaries in central PA don't warrant these prices unless you are a head coach or PSU administrator who makes a shiite ton on of money. If you work remote for a company on NYC or DC area then maybe the $2m price tag is achievable. Only other way to afford something like that is rolling over a...

    Now the Kids are about out of the house? Thinkng of moving to Center City, Phila? Anybody live there?

    Whatever floats your boat. Grew up in the Philly burbs and used to enjoy taking the train in and spending time in the city, however, that was back in the 90s. I know someone who moved from Philly burbs to Fairmount neighborhood and loves it. Loves the neighborhood feel of it, walk in to bars and...
