Hotel recommendations for a family staycation?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a hotel in Berks or surrounding counties that is family friendly. It’s our daughter’s birthday and we typically go to Knoebels for the day but I am 8 months pregnant so we unfortunately can’t do that this year. I want to make her birthday extra special so I’d love to take everyone to a hotel with a fun pool for a couple nights. Any recommendations? I’ve tried Hershey and a few Lancaster hotels but they are all booked for when we want to go. Thank you!!

Help me bully politicians into doing their jobs!!!

Good afternoon to all! If you have the time, I have a very precious ask of you. Would y'all mind helping me bully PA politicians into doing a vote on HB 1790? It's a bill that would create funding for any counseling students while they are in school.

Essentially, to become a social worker in the states you have to work for free or unnecessarily cheap for like two years straight, while also still taking classes and trying to find time to work and afford luxuries like food and clothes and housing! This doesn't include the cost of licensing, liability insurance, clearances, or the supervision you have to pay for before getting licensed. While it would not solve all the problems, it would take a lot of the risk out of becoming a social worker during a time when we are in a mental health crisis and desperately need them.

Right now the bill is stuck in committee because they refuse to fucking vote since last year, and I need help bullying them to get a move on.

The guy who needs to okay a vote is Frank Burns of House District 72. And before it is brought up, no he is not our rep, but he is amongst the group of people who make laws for ALL of PA, not just his constituents. Ergo, he works for us, and can be contacted regardless. While it would hold more weight if you were his constituent, it is not necessary to express concern and urge action.

Where to sell an almost new tire

I was out of town and I was forced to buy a single new tire but I did not buy all four because my local place that I go I always buy the warranty and they have free rotation for life. So now I have a single tire with 150 provable miles that cost $150. So where would I sell this

Hit and run on I-78

I know this is a long-shot, but I feel I need to try.

My mom and my husband were in a hit-and-run accident on May 10th (Mother's Day) near Hamburg on I-78 heading west.

A dark van hit the rear right quarter panel of my mom's car (basically the pit maneuver) and she spun sideways, crossed the left lane, and ended up facing east-bound. Thankfully neither was injured, but the car is totaled.

Even though there was a lot of traffic, no one who would have seen this accident stopped. If anyone witnessed this, please contact the police.

Finding a Forever Home for my Foster

Hi everyone! Admin, if this is not allowed, please take it down. I have been fostering dogs for a rescue in the Berks County area (Luna Farms Rescue) for about a year now. I am trying to find a home for my most recent foster, Calypso. She is the sweetest dog and she is ready for her forever home. We think she is either a boxer mix or a Boston terrier mix. She is about 12 weeks old, UTD on vaccines, and is amazing in her crate. She does great with other dogs (including small dogs), kids, and cats. She’ll do best in a home where she has a backyard to run around, as she really likes being outside. Calypso is doing great with leash training and potty training. Her adoption fee is $550 and that will include food for her, a harness, a couple of toys, a coupon for a customized collar, and the cost of her spay, if done through our rescue. She’s an absolute sweetheart who deserves the best home and I’d love to find her a home! If you have any questions, feel free to message me or comment, and I’ll do my best to answer! If you or anyone you know is interested in a puppy, please share!

Here is the link to apply to adopt her:

Need an OB following a horrible experience

I had an extremely traumatic birth with my first daughter, where I believe my labor was mismanaged, which resulted in a very rough birth and NICU stay for her, with long lasting neurological deficits for her. Needless to say, I am never going back to Reading hospital and I am in search of a new OB practice who will take care of me during my second pregnancy and labor. Any recommendations would be much appreciated as I don’t know who to trust.

Alternative/punk hair stylist?

I'm in the Berks county area and finally trying to let a professional touch my hair again because I can't do the cuts I want on my own. I'm looking for a more alternative vibe, but any salons I find that I'd be willing to go to are up to an hour away. I was looking for more up to 30mins if anyone knows of salons that do alternative hair cuts!!!
