    9/29 is National Coffee Day

    From what I saw in the past at Wawa, people were abusing it and walking out with carriers full of coffee. Yes, the coupon is in the app.

    SPED experts

    As a special ed teacher, please, please don't reach out to the parents and ask for the child's IEP. You are setting that new teacher up for a very rough year. I get what the other poster is saying but not all parents will be as understanding. In my district, IEPS are available online in each...

    Any retired PA teachers? Question for you

    Yes, that is correct. I am not yet retired but a few years ago I went to one of those daylong PSER workshops. It was very helpful in explaining the different monthly options.

    If you use a tax preparer do they...?

    I make an appointment and he goes through a paper checklist and makes sure that everything is there that he needs. The actual taxes are then done after I leave. I then get a call in a couple weeks to sign and drop off his payment. I pay about $200 for him to complete local, state and federal. It...

    Your whine of the day...

    I am frustrated with the gifts my assistant buys me. I suspect she is re-gifting items that she got when she cleaned out her mother's house a few years ago. This is the third year I've gotten towels. I'm off the age that I don't need any more towels. She also gave me a plaid wrap that just isn't...

    Lehigh Valley PA Disers- help!

    I agree with the others about the winters being unpredictable. And that's not just the snow but the temperatures as well. I remember some years that it was t-shirts and shorts weather around Christmas and Thanksgiving. Other years, it snowed. While snow is certainly possible from October on, I...

    Thrift Store Score!

    The majority of my wardrobe comes from either thrift stores or church bag sales. I absolutely love shopping at them. It's like going on a treasure hunt. Funny store. I volunteer at the dog shelter which is right next to one of my favorite thrift stores. Sometimes in the middle of the shift I'll...

    Ralph Lauren Dress

    I loved the styling and color of Melania's suit. I thought the evening gown was just okay. Didn't hate it or love it. I didn't care for Michelle's dress and hair at all. I just thought it looked too casual for the occasion. I've seen her looking better.

    Have you ever ordered a holiday meal from a supermarket?

    I've ordered the turkey dinner from Wegmans several times and was very, very pleased. Initially I was a little leary about re-heating the carved turkey but I followed their instructions and it tasted like it was just carved off the bone.

    HELP WITH BATHROOM REMODEL

    I just had my master bath redone. It included taking part of my wall closet (because prior owners put a walk in closet in the bedroom) and enlarging the bathroom. Everything was ripped down the studs. It included all new tile, toilet, fixtures, frameless shower (including rainfall shower head)...

    When do you get your Flu Shot

    I'm getting mine the first Saturday in Nov. Our local hospital has a "drive-by'' flu shot clinic in the parking lot of a local amusement. It's totally free. You drive in, stick your arm out the window and get the shot. Usually in and out in 20 minutes.

    Where do you get your morning coffee

    My first couple of cups are at home -- a dark roast that I purchase from a local vendor at the farmers' market. At school, we keep a pot on the counter and drink from that during the day.

    Do you write down a physical

    Nope, don't record checks. I don't write a lot of checks and try to pay as much online as I can. My assistant at school still balances her checkbook.

    Which is best for kitchen floor?

    When I renovated the kitchen, I went with tile because of the dog. The contractor wanted to put in hardwood but I decided against it because I was concerned about the dog running across it and scratching it up. I've had it two years with no regrets.

    Kohl's return policy

    I had 2 Fitbits that stopped working after 2 years. When the second one died, I called customer service and the best they could offer me was a 25% discount on a new one. I declined and instead bought Garmin Vivo because I wasted enough money on Fitbit. And they died after normal use. It's not...

    Are there no honorable people left?

    In my case, I did not haggle one bit with the contractor. I am paying close to $30,000 for a bathroom renovation and signed a multi-page contract that spelled out everything very clearly. Also, on my last project with the same contractor, I was told that I was a "dream customer'' and that...
