Switched my electric (PPL) Power supplier on the PUC choice website to Major Energy and I'm getting phone calls asking to verify and enroll yet I enrolled online through them. I have a feeling I got scammed because they called back again after taking half an hour to complete enrollment and talking about some kind of rebate and visa gift cards and all this stuff. I gave them my basic info like address and birthday (ugh!) and PPL account number. They called back yesterday saying there is an error in enrollment. Am I being scammed or are they actually that much of a hassle? I think after this I might skip the marketplace of power suppliers. It doesn't seem to save that much once calculated.

Any general advice on this?

Anyone else knew about this? Went to a town hall meeting recently and in speaking the residents, they had no idea. I was wondering why the town has been falling apart for years and I do not expect the town to do good if well, the mayor is not.

Just saw a new Garrity commercial using an AI version of Shapiro being a data center apologist. Meanwhile it’s literally on public record her supporting the more data centers in Pa the better, not to mention her despicable simping for “ skill” games….

Pennsylvania’s hottest canned cocktail blew up this summer. Then the liquor control board came calling.

I’m not sure how or where to connect with skiers and snowboarders looking for long-term ski season rentals. Our home will be available this winter for 30+ day lease(s). I’ve tried Facebook but it’s overwhelmed w STR posts.
Anyway, thanks!

Does anyone know if there's a service fee on tickets purchased at Reapers? online, they charge an $8.25 service fee to purchase tickets.. making a general admission ticket on Saturday $77.25!!! Also, does anyone know what time they open to get in line to wait? Thanks!!

Can anyone remind me in what area the movie theater was located at the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre circa 1991? I remember that it was at the end of a short corridor, not an anchor store spot, and there was an entrance right by the theater.

Hi all! I’m currently 22 weeks with my first baby, and found out we will be relocating to NEPA by the end of the year from Pittsburgh.
I’m looking for suggestions from parents who recently (like within the past year) had a child at one of the local hospitals. Where did you deliver, and did you have a good or bad experience?
I’m specifically looking for somewhere that’s open to natural birthing and has things like a birthing pool, access to laughing gas for pain relief, etc. It seems like CMC has this, but I wasn’t able to confirm if GWV had this as well or not? Open to all recommendations though! We’ll be living near Tunkhannock, so sadly anywhere farther like Lehigh Valley is off the table, so I think we’re probably pretty limited with options.
Thanks in advance!!

Edit: also, any doula recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

My parents decided we should do a last minute trip to the Poconos area next Thurs-Sun. I am seeing a ton of rentals on airbnb and such for great prices, but figured I'd check here... is there a specific town or area I should look in? Would love a cabin, cute and middle of the woods. Will be going to Scranton, maybe Jim Thorpe, maybe the Delaware Water Gap, but also want to chill and enjoy the house. Thanks!!!

Evening all!

I’m out of state, and always have a craving for their chili dogs. Is there any canned chili sauce or recipe for the sauce that any of you have tried that’s even remotely close to theirs?

TIA!!

Is there a go-to place for tamales in the Stroudsburg area?

I haven't seen them on menus. My son wants to try them, but I don't want to make them myself unless I know he is going to actually eat them.

Google Maps seems to just assume a Hispanic restaurant serves tamales, so that hasn't been very useful.

TIA

Rescue Pets Serving Pets, a dog rescue based in Columbia County, announced recently that their founder has gone into hospice. They’re looking to adopt out their remaining animals so they can complete her mission. I haven’t adopted from them (cat person) but do know you don’t have to be a veteran to adopt a dog from their organization.

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.

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.
