Balloon launches were started in the 1980s, so that is Generation X! Boomers are too thrifty to waste money on balloons and helium to just toss them in the air.

It could also be testing to see what responses are.

For example the email we got from our school, the police said every call will be responded to as if there is an active shooter. If you were looking to launch some kind of attack, that's good info, because it means police will commit resources.

So if someone wanted to do something really bad, they could trigger all of these calls to occupy police over a large area, and then go do the really bad thing while the police are busy responding to the fake calls.

Happened at Laurel Highlands (Uniontown) as well.

Yep. My kids’ was one. It’s really hard to be a parent in this world today.

I don’t agree with it, but it’s being talked about as a protest to do something about the school shootings in the US. These false calls are supposed to escalate to all schools around the country everyday. Not so much for the lols. Just a horrible mess the US is in.

Duck and cover drills during the cold war.

Can't say. The studies I looked at stopped testing after 10. Apparently some impairment was measurable in some subjects. I was under the impression we were talking about smoking at perhaps 9 or 10 in the evening, then driving to work at 7 in the morning. Regardless, state law is pretty certain in it's wording...

Ain’t that the truth 😂

i spoke to Service Access & Management. back then i was a part-timer, now i work full time (no medical insurance tho) and still have service. i was in a really rough spot and they were super helpful getting me set up and walking me through the process, im hopeful they can answer any questions about qualifications and options.

I'm in no rush, I'm fortunate to not be dealing with serious depression or anything. I'd very much give up my spot for someone with more immediate needs.

Just wanted to share my area though.

Thanks either way

Similar calls have been received across Lehigh and Northampton county. Allentown school district, Bethlehem school district, and East Penn at the very least.

Also calls were received in Warren county at Phillipsburg school district. I saw some other folks mentioning Somerset county.

They seemed to happen particularly often during weeks when there were a lot of tests being administered, as I recollect.

Also Farrell in Mercer County. Police from all over the county responded and the declared it was a hoax.

This also happened at Farrell Schools in Mercer County

Don't work for Giant.

They literally lie about pay with asterisk marks all the way down and work you till you can't think straight. They treat employees like shit and pretend that somehow they're doing them a favor.

As someone who has worked very closely with stroke patients, this is an absolute horse shit lie.

Using children as pawns. Absolutely disgusting!

Okay, thank you and god bless.

You are not entitled to another day, and you may actually be required to attend Jury Duty beyond the Monday you have been called.

My HS had bomb threats a lot too. They would check our bags when we arrived to make sure nobody had a weapon or anything.

I can remember the day columbine happened. We went into lockdown and were never allowed backpacks in halls again.

Yes, Reddit has all the answers!

I have a friend in Massachusetts. He said the same thing happened there as well yesterday.

As someone said below, Blue Cross for sure. But insurance companies can be tough to deal with for therapist offices/make it even more expensive so I understand why mine doesn’t take it. I’d say if you would rather not take insurance, make it clear in your applications so nobody is wasting anyone’s time.
