My family is doing a project where every Sunday we have the dinner and dessert that best represents each state. Delaware is next! What homemade dinner and/or dessert do you think best represents Delaware?

PCP recommendations

PCP recommendations

Hi all,

My husband and I are new to the North Wilmington area, and are both in search of new primary care physicians. Is there a practice nearby that you recommend? Some background - I get pretty anxious going to the doctors (especially a new one) and have WCH, so it’s important to have a doctor that is kind and understanding of that. Also willing to go to PA. TIA!

I don't care how much you think college student's parents can pay, this isn't good for society.

Trying to help my mom

Trying to help my mother

Hi all, so long story short, I just moved to the area, and reconnected with my mom(60s). I hadn't been back to her place in 7 years but my older sister has regular interaction with her. My mom works graveyard shifts as a private nurse also for a little background. When I took my family to her house, we were shocked to find out that her 3 cats had pretty much taken over her room, and that the house just radiates with the smell of cat pee. There's some other issues with the house's state, but the intensity of the smell quickly became the primary worry. After processing and talking with her the next day, she admitted that taking care of the house has become harder lately, and the cats have been "waging a war" ever since my sister left her dog there(i think this was 3 or 4 years ago) and has gotten worse and worse every year. We've come up with an action plan where the first step is surrendering the cats. This finally brings me to my question. Does anyone know of any resources to help in this process? the cats are all about 12 years old so definitely on the older side of cats.

I wish through all my chats with my mom and sister through the years I had found out about this sooner, but now that I know I just want to help and get my mom in a healthier state. Thanks for listening and any insight.

TLDR: My mom's cats have become too much for her to take care of and she needs help in rehoming them

Registration Question

So I recently moved here from out of state and last year, I had a car transferred over to me. I messed up and didn’t end up getting my car tagged, although I did get my property taxes taken care of before moving. The tags are about 9 months out of date. Will I be able to register my car here in Delaware with my tags so out of date? Will there be a fee? I’m not exactly sure how this works since I’ve never registered a car in another state.

Delmarva power is robbing my family blind

My Delmarva bill went up from $374 to over $550 this month with a $230 delivery fee. Can anyone explain this? I’ll be calling on Monday morning and having them breakdown every dollar they charged me. Has anyone had success in lowering your bill or getting an acceptable answer?

JAM Catering

Anyone been to a wedding catered by JAM Catering (aka Jeffrey A Miller Catering)? How was the food? It appears the company's reviews are skewed because they have brides giving them a 5 star review prior to the wedding day I'm exchange for a discount (which is a red flag). And there are a few negative reviews about food but mostly good reviews.

Anyone know a good place to get good bread in the Newark/Bear/Glasgow/New Castle area?

Cop cars blocking 95S near Marsh

About 20 minutes ago my husband got home. He was stopped on 95S near Marsh for about 45 minutes. There were about 8 to 10 state police vehicles with flashing lights. A car was on the right shoulder and when he drove by there were a couple of cops searching it. The car didn't appear to be damaged. Eventually the left lane was reopened, but the right lane was still blocked by cop cars parked there. There were no rescue vehicles. Right near the car's location cops had cars cross the median and go on 95N.

Anybody know what's going on?

Clothing donations for trans people?

Hi all! I have a lot of gently used adult clothes and shoes to donate. I looked online before posting here and I didn't see any resources in DE where I could bring items, so I figured I'd try here. Lots of M/L shirts, a few dresses, pants, and shoes in women's sizes ranging from 9.5-11. There might be a plushie in there or two also.

Happy to bring somewhere or arrange for pick up, if anyone has any resources. :)

Thanks in advance!
