Welcome to the area. I’m also in a place like you described. I hope you enjoy it. This part of Pa is absolutely beautiful, but you really gotta watch out for the crazies and drug addicts.
Living in Pennsylvania be like
Because the call started off with him talking normally. I’ve spoken to him a bunch before today.
I work in IT and had a dude use the UwU accent with me on a call today while I was trying to fix his email. Made me wanna barf.
I do the same with my ducks. I have to make sure their pool gets cleaned and filled in both the mornings and evenings on hot days and it’s killing me. My one duck is disabled and she has trouble cleaning herself all the way, so she gets sprayed off with the hose once a day. The birds are doing really well in the heat, which has been a relief. My dogs have been just as miserable as I have been. My cats seem fine.
Dealing with a heatwave in PA rn and I’ve been so sick from it. I’m very sensitive to heat. I’ve been doing all I can to cool off, but most days I just can’t regulate my body temperature naturally* . Almost passed out today when I was catching one of my ducks that escaped the pen. I’ve been getting my shirts wet and just wearing them like that and sleeping with ice packs in my bed. I have a chain of box fans that are my attempt to get the flow of air from the air conditioner around the house. My house holds heat in very well, but is hard AF to cool off and keep it cool.
My mom spent 6 months giving her mother around the clock care before my grandmother died. Afterwards, my mom told me to put her ass in a care facility if she ever needed care like that. I said okay, but didn’t tell her that I had already planned on doing that.
I do not take people who use corporate and “boss” jargon seriously at all. Like, ever. Just talk to me like a goddamn person please.
Can’t forget Squonk. The gross pig thing that is so ugly it cries constantly. It can dissolve itself with its tears at will.
Sad they didn’t put more water birds on there
Bro just has a breeding kink
Gotta give it to humanity, though. We’re damn good at ruining everything we touch.
Same, though my hand already look old because my joints are all fucked up lmao. Almost 27 and I have old lady hands
Tom Cardy is my fave musician.
Bro looks like he’s a decrepit dollar store ken doll
You just gotta have that M E N T A L I L L N E S S
You can take a break if you want lmao
@[email protected] and @[email protected] out here doing God’s work.
The Monongahela River is pretty calm in rural parts. Local creeks can also be good after it rains but can have some rapids. I look for rougher waters because I enjoy the thrill. I also own a racing kayak that’s meant for stuff like that lol. My stepfather has a sit inside fishing kayak and it does okay in shallower waters, but I always scout ahead to warm him of obstacles lol. Ohiopyle is also an insanely popular spot to kayak and has all levels of difficulty. Can’t really say more without doxxing my location lmao.
As for fishing, I don’t take part in it, but big catfish are very very common. Relatives regularly catch 1-3 ft fish. They like cicadas if you can get some when they’re out. I’ve also seen people use chicken livers. A lot of people make their own bait concoctions as well. There are also loads of carp that eat the same stuff as catfish. Bluegill are common but aren’t big enough to eat. I recommend being careful with where you catch your fish if you intend to eat them. Researching the history of the waterways to see their pollution history is very helpful when determining if a fish is safe to eat imo.
You also gotta be careful of water moccasins. They like to swim around. See at least one every time I kayak (which isn’t as often as I would like. It’s been a few years because my stepfather and I have been dealing with health issues and all the bullshit that comes with home ownership. Adult life, amirite. T_T)
