My insurance card is digital, and I don't have the means of printing it out. Over in my area, cops generally don't pull you over just for expired inspections. They tack it on if they get you for something else, and I tend to drive as legally as possible.

What I’m really waiting for is the investigation into who was paid to push Ivana down the stairs to her death. That’s a common Russian method of enemy elimination. Now who do we know that’s pals with Putin….?

I believe it was filmed mostly in Brownsville, which is also on the Monongahela River, not too far south of Monessen. A lot of these Mon Valley rustbelt towns look similar, but I’ve noticed some interesting things that stand out in Monessen.

Look, it’s really not your business to tell anyone to get a job. But realistically, yes, we ARE talking about 75 year old Meredith, who relies on a pension and cannot remarry, but who met a nice person she’d like to be with, but would lose that pension and the ability to be buried with her first spouse if she remarried. She and her partner own a house together. Or maybe she and her sister own the house. If that person dies, she owes PA a big check, which forces her to sell. Plus she has to turn over part of her bank accounts.
We really aren’t talking about Real Housewives of Altoona or Paris Hilton or whatever.

So, do you mean like the EIGHT Benghazi hearings? Or maybe the Whitewater hearings the GOP held to try to smear Bill & Hillary?
And I’m not sure you can call it a fraud when an investigation happens - under the Republican DOJ and a Republican special counsel - and there is proof of the actions, just not a smoking gun to tie Trump to it. But hey… if that’s your takeaway, then enjoy the tiny little w.
BTW, what every happened to that Durham investigation Trump & Fox News were crowing about??? I guess that passed over us like Q’s “storm”. Still waiting for all those “sealed indictments” to be opened an hundreds of Dems to be arrested. Nice.

Decade away due to military, and then another five-ish years in Chicago. I have a love/hate relationship with PA. Not sure I consider Lancaster a greener pasture, it's still very much Pennsylvania no matter what corner you're in... just a slight variation of the same.
Closer to Philly definitely makes me feel a bit less like I'll be battling zombies any time soon but then I miss the wildness. If I was independently wealthy I'd likely hang out in large population areas for a few months at a time (London, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo, etc.) and then spend the other half of the year in New Zealand or Alaska just trying to avoid people.
I sometimes miss the healthier lifestyles of the West Coast but I don't miss the woo woo.

Yes, I drove through Ohio a few times on my way to Michigan. Both were painfully flat.

There really are not practical ways for the vast majority of people to avoid the inheritance tax.

>Gallikers iced tea
I like how even that is only east of Pittsburgh.. at some point it transitions into either Ritchey's or Turner's or whatever. What is it with W PA buying up instant iced tea already mixed for us?

Bethlehem is really nice, as is most of the area around Pittsburgh. But, new forewarned, many rural areas across PA think they're Alabama

Get used to it, lol. Also, I believe the correct spelling is yinz. I wouldn't ordinarily correct anyone, but seeing as how you live there now, I thought you may like to know.

I do see them prowling the lot once in a while. They're sneaky, too. They'll tow your car at 10:30 p.m., take it to their lot and check it in at 11, then not have anyone there to get your car out until the next morning and charge you for 2 days of lot fees at like $75 per day. Then there is the $70 gate fee because they had to open their gate, mileage on the truck (I live in Camp Hill, they're near Colonial Park), the other $70 gate fee because they had to open the gate again for you to leave, and on top of all of that, they only accept cash or post office money orders.

Oh, cool, I see we’ve moved into the ASSumption phase here. News flash: not all Silent Generation and Baby Boomers voted GOP. Not all of them lived in PA for their entire voting/working lives.
Social security is one thing. Pensions are absolutely lost upon remarriage. And the thing is, half of one’s expenses don’t disappear when one spouse dies. Some expenses decrease, but not all, and often not by half. And some widowed spouses are caring for minor children.
But, whatever. The fact is that one half of an unmarried couple, whether it is a romantic couple, relatives or roommates should not have to lose their home to pay the state when someone dies.

Right. Even though unlimited amounts of money and political power were thrown at it. It was a very big fraud that went on for a very long time. And then everyone wonders why some people are distrustful of the election process.

Huh? Just leave it in the car.
You really don't want to drive the car in the daylight, they will pull you over fast.

Fully registered and insured. Just let my inspection go a little too long is all.

Unfortunately, that would just mean one extra Uber trip since I'd need to go back to give them my registration and insurance card in the morning. Luckily my job is pretty flexible about me having to drop my car off.
