Experience with occasional in-home care for elderly?

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have recommendations for in-home care for an elderly parent? Early/mid stage cognitive decline but living at home and physically strong (male). Need companionship and support when his spouse is out for a long afternoon or maybe overnights at some point.

We could develop a schedule and have a retainer relationship. Wondering if there are mom and pop agencies or individuals with memory care experience or if anyone has used Visiting Angels and similar.

Why does everyone in this area either drive twice the speed limit or 10 miles under the speed limit.

It’s annoying as shit anymore. What happened to 5-10 over? There’s too many drivers for these single lane highways. We need places to pass and be passed.

Surgical Vet Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hey folks! Real quick, my dog has a cyst on his back leg that we need to get examined a little more thoroughly by a surgeon (we go to the Scranton Animal Hospital currently). The problem is, it seems like the surgical vet options in the area have pretty poor reviews (even the one we were referred to in Allentown does). Can anyone provide a recommendation for a vet that can look at this and, at the same time, is somewhat affordable? Thanks!

Clark’s Summit - looking for specific area

0 Upvotes

Hi,
Looking for some information on Clark’s Summit/Clarks Green. Are there some areas I should be house hunting or are all pretty much good areas? Looking mostly for a neighborhood with kids who play outside.
Also if anyone can tell me the average class size and how many classes there are in the elementary schools that would be helpful!

Locally made butter

5 Upvotes

Are there any dairies that sell locally made butter?

Any recommendations are welcome, bonus if they’re in the Berwick/Bloomsburg area. Anywhere from Scranton to State College will work if it’s worth the drive.

Any market recommendations are great too, but good butter is definitely the priority!

"I Don't Trade My Own Stocks"

78 Upvotes

There have been a lot of insulting and ridiculous political ads over the years but this Rob Bresnahan one has got to be one of the worst. I did a double take when I heard it. So who trades them? Some trained monkey who knows nothing about you or that you're a congressman? A blind man managing a blind trust who is also deaf and mute? This isn't Monopoly Bob. You weren't trading Park Place for all the light blue properties. It was people's access to half way decent healthcare. You and your family should go on Medicaid.

Backstage/ cafe metro/ tinks etc

14 Upvotes

Hey y’all I’ve been reminiscing with some friends about the late 00s and all the music venues we had for up and coming alt/punk bands. I recently moved back to the area after about a decade of being away and I’m just wondering is there any venues like that still? Even if it’s not “alt” but just smaller venues that aren’t arenas or montage mtn etc

Does anyone have any leads or recommendations? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Newport Township Data Centers

FCEL’s stock went up almost 15% today that “Newport Township approved zoning for fuel cell power generation and a [15] data center project in Newport Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Remaining permitting is underway ahead of construction. Fuel Cell is set to supply the natural gas fuel cells for on-site power under a strategic agreement the two companies already had in place.”

Apparently this is news to the community there.
