mom groups?

does anyone know of any groups or places where moms of babies meet up for social reasons? i go to the library for baby groups but they’re obviously pretty focused on entertaining/teaching the babies and less focused on socialization for parents/kids.

i’m relatively new to the area and am a SAHM for at least the next few months and really need to create a social life for myself and my daughter before i go nuts. if any other moms (or women/thems who don’t mind babies!) in their 20s/30s needs a friend who likes indie music, art, fashion…pls hmu. i’m dying out here.

"Experience" idea for adult birthday

My sister is turning 36 in November and has asked for an " experience" for her gift. This could include some sort of course where you learn a fun skill. She lives in Greensburg and I live in Pittsburgh, so anything in that general area is on the table. Any ideas?

(Greensburg) Independence health system.

This is the number one reason I do not go to this hospital I currently live in Greensburg and I will gladly spend more money on gas to drive to a Pittsburgh hospital. I'm from Pittsburgh moved to Greensburg been to this hospital and never went back. The staff and medical team is very unprofessional rude and if there doing this to the elderly they'll do it to anyone. I was sent there from an ambulance the EMT asked the nurse to get me liquid IV because I was dehydrated and my blood pressure was very high I sat there for 3 hours with nothing or nobody coming in the room I just had a bad vibe and my vibes definitely was NOT WRONG! THIS IS ASHAME!

Thoughts on the First Presbyterian Church of Greensburg?

Hello, folks. My wife and I are planning to attend services at the First Presbyterian Church in Greensburg for the first time this weekend. My wife was raised in the Presbyterian tradition, but this will be new for me. Can anyone tell me a little about this local congregation: history, traditions, etc.? Thank you in advance.

Mountain bike trails off the Five Star trail?

Does anyone know of mountain bike trails off the Five Star trail? I often see cyclists on the trail who are geared up for rougher terrain than crushed limestone.

I've heard rumors of trail access by the train tunnel. When you are approaching Lynch field there is a trail just to the right before you go under the tunnel I followed it once but just ended up on the train tracks and didn't see any place to go. Given how active that rail is it seemed like a bad idea to go randomly exploring.

MINISO at the Mall

Reposting because i took her name out of the post

Hi so l work in the mall, not in this store, but I'm letting yall know that the Manager is a racist horrible woman. I watched her verbally berate her employees and a friend of mine who was in one time watched her shove an employee while an open box cutter was in her hands. She made multiple racist comments to an Asian employee about "feeling right at home" and "you can translate the Asian crap for us!"

She's also super condescending to the customers, especially if you seem younger to her. I don't know about any of you but the most annoying thing that can happen when you're a grown adult on a shopping trip is being talked to like you're a child. She also basically bullied my boyfriend into getting a membership at the store despite him telling her multiple times that he didn't want it and I overheard her saying "don't give customers a choice!" To an employee. | understand that that's something a lot of store memberships push but she's just outright rude.

The cherry on top of it all is she was shoving her political crap down the throat of anyone who'd listen at the register. Listen I don't care who you vote for you do you, not my business. But DO NOT make me sit and listen to it when all I wanna do is buy a cute plush or some cheap Asian snacks. I'm just letting you all know that despite the store's cutesy exterior, it's not a great work environment on the inside and l'd rather give my money to stores that don't let their managers treat the customer and employees like shit.

Hello Greensburg! Looking for lawn care for my mom

I live in Sacramento and my mom is in Greensburg. She sent me a video showing her freshly mowed yard today and I saw the tricky little hill she had to do. For an able bodied person, it's nothing. But for a 72 year old woman, it's a lot.

I'm curious if anyone here would be willing to take a look at her yard and give me an estimate. Only the small front yard needs mowed and weed eater then the sides need some weed eating and that's it. It will take an average person about 20 minutes. I know the end of the season is near but I want to help her if I can. I can pay via any money app or if you prefer cash I'll pay her and she can give you cash. If all agree, we can continue into next season.

Thank you!

free/cheap things to do?

my bf and i are broke college students, i was wondering if there is anything fun that is free and/or super cheap to do around here. we are open to cute parks, activities i may have overlooked when looking online, and anything in season for fall. we went to round hill park last weekend and it was so nice to just walk around somewhere and see sights for free with no pressure to buy food and enjoy the amenities. tia!

edit: thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

Help us mandate Domestic Violence training in PA high schools

Pennsylvania is making strides in combating domestic violence with Act 55 of 2022, which mandates domestic violence education in higher education institutions. While this is a crucial step forward, it falls short by not extending these protections and educational requirements to high schools, leaving a significant gap in early intervention. We must ensure that school policies are designed to comprehensively address abuse and foster a safe environment for all students

Your voice can help change this. No matter where you live, you can make a difference by signing this petition urging state education officials to require all Pennsylvanian high schools to include domestic violence education in their curricula. Together, we can protect our next generation from the cycles of violence and inspire other US states to follow Pennsylvania's lead in making domestic violence education a priority.

Sign the petition below: https://chng.it/P8kVJnJZ7Y
