What school choice is there around here and neighboring areas if your regular public school isn't working well for your child? I know there isn't much option, but what do you know about options and what have you heard or experienced about those schools? (Catholic school is probably a no-go)
Anyone have a recommendation on primary care doctors good with teens and young adults in the Reading, PA area? (Ideally a doc likely to stick around awhile... they keep leaving)
Musings on financially imperiled colleges....How many colleges out there are stuck in perpetual restructures (like restructuring every 6 to 18 months indefinitely) including no clear plan of consistency as to which positions should exist vs. be eliminated? Nothing is given a chance for real innovation or stability. Surely even in times where they feel compelled to keep laying people off they should have some sort of vision of what they want to create or give leadership a chance to actually develop something before it's restructured again. My "favorite" part of the chaos is when they say merging two units serves an important pedagogy or purpose and then 12 months later insist un-merging them serves an important pedagogy or purpose. Apparently no matter what they do it's "best practice" or "in the best interest" even if it's the opposite of what they did last year which is opposite of what they did the year before. Also my "favorite " is a college laying off positions then realizing they need them so re-hiring only to turn around and lay off that position again.
Anyone else watching places you'd applied to in your last or current job search (but didn't get hired) doing layoffs and wonder if you would have been laid off again if you'd gotten that job? Wild. Everywhere is a house of cards.
For those in the 18 to 22 age crowd or so...I'm curious, what sort of phone/electronics rules did your parents have for you in middle and high school (certain limits, no limits, screening, no screening, etc) and what do you wish it had been if different from what it was?

Some people are encouraging electrolytes for people on GLP1s, but...electrolytes seem to have a lot of sodium. Aren't we supposed to be limiting sodium for heart health?
If you have fatigue as a side effect, post below what additive is in your tirz (or if there's no additive) like B6, B12, etc.
Now that I'm on this it seems so odd to me that people were on it 10 or 20 years for other reasons (like diabetes) before companies started to promote it for weight loss. Wouldn't the appetite suppression and weight loss aspect have been obvious from the very beginning of people using it?
Anyone have a recommendation on a place in the Reading area that puts clear UV film (or similar product) on car windows? I don't want to try to DIY this.
I've noticed lots of colleges with financial challenges "eliminating programs" including majors or concentrations that have no or few students but don't have dedicated faculty or that just involve courses that also count for other majors. How does doing so save the college money if there's no dedicated faculty just for that program? Wouldn't keeping the programs on the books be a good recruitment tool as it might net a few extra students or make students feel like they have more choices?
Has anyone experienced potato chips tasting salter? Curious if this is a tirzepatide thing or a me getting older thing.
