We are in desperate need of more mental health services. I’m from Columbia County. It took almost two months for me to get an appointment after my doctor gave me a referral last year. At least, my PCP was able to get me started on some depression/anxiety medication until I was able to talk with a psychologist.

I had my rates go up because my car is "too old" (2008 Toyota Camry) and they might not be able to get parts for it in the event of an accident. But if I get a new(er) car, my rates will also go up. 🙃

It's the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission. It's the state agency that is supposed to hold PPL accountable (hopefully they actually will). You first need to contact PPL to see if they can fix it. If PPL doesn't help, then you can reach out to them and file a complaint. https://www.puc.pa.gov/

Did you contact them and the PUC about this?

Yeah I feel like the only recourse is if PPL gets sued into oblivion. I hope enough of us can band together to make that happen tbh

I'm genuinely considering looking for a lawyer for a potential lawsuit. Did you contact PPL and the PUC about this?

I have not. Truthfully I don't even know what that is, can you share info on that please?

I have now after my conversations with PPL.

Did you contact PPL and the PUC about this?

Yeah I've seen it too, but PPL doesn't seem to care

Yeah I'm in a similar boat. Have you contacted the PUC about this?

I've been throwing a fit. PPL is insisting that I somehow used almost double my normal electricity during a month where I was out of town for a couple weeks. They're trying to pin the blame on me, while also saying that my usage isn't doubled, despite the numbers they're charging me for showing otherwise. There's absolutely no explanation for this.

I'm 32, had the same insurance for 16 years, and my only accident was 8 years ago. I've had 2 minor citations, but they weren't reportable (no points). My insurance has never gone down, and this year it increased $250 (25%) for the year.

Herr’s Russet kettle cooked but haven’t seen them in quite a while

A former colleague became a snowbird in retirement. While away from home for over a month, she received an $800 PPL bill.

PUC is generally useless. Unless there are significant financial penalties levied against PPL, they have little incentive to resolve this quickly, if at all. Prospect that some may never get truly corrected bills. Has the grace period for not paying past due bills been extended beyond 3/31?

Other than the PUC, I don't know what recourse one really has other than posting on social media and persistently contacting PPL via phone, letter, etc. Litigation is expensive and likely requires binding arbitration (should be optional, but that's another topic entirely).

When comparing months, look at many billing days there were. Generally, it's around 30 plus or minus a few days. I suspect for some, one month is say 10 days and another 50 or some other random variation. For messed up bills, PPL needs to do more than just say trust us and pay the so-called corrected amount. They need to explain the situation better.

Didn't they have a fire? Are they back?

Thank You.

I can't imagine that feeling. Horrifying.

I like Herr's. It's a good potato chip. I really miss Middleswarth though. The closest I found was in Allentown off of Cedar Crest Blvd and Tilghman Street where there is a grocery store. That was about 5 years ago when I lived in the area though. I haven't found it down here, so Herr's is my go to.

Good’s, the blue bag

Martin's Kettle-Cooked. Love them, but the kill my stomach.

My all-time favorite, by a long way, is/was Bickel's. They seared the chips before frying, giving them an unparalleled smooth surface, sharp crunch, and deep potato flavor. Unfortunately, I can't find them anymore, they even closed down their factory outlet store, and although the brand still exists (bought by a larger snack maker, apparently) I can't even tell if they still make potato chips.

[Edited to correct spelling of the name Bickel's.]
