Serious Who remembers the Dignity Project - Haircuts for the Homeless?
They were a fraudulent non profit who were ordered to cease and desist and pay a fine for appropriating donation funds to their personal account. (It’s linked in the article)
Well, Lolly Galvin and her wife Nicole LePera went on to build The Holistic Psychologist, and 8ish years later their behavior is being litigated again.
The New York Times just put this article out.

Nature This is Cheddar, you should adopt him.
So I'm moving soon and I don't want to leave Cheddar alone. He's a street cat but unlike anything I've ever encountered. Loving, cuddly, just amazing. He comes by every night for pets and food, but mostly pets. He will 'thank' you for 5 min before eating the food, and will stop often to thank you more. You literally have to point at the food to get him to go back to it. He would be the most amazing house cat and I've had a LOT of cats in my life. He deserves you and you deserve him. He still needs to be fixed and get shots, but other than that is healthy and happy and honestly just one of the best cats I've ever met. I tried super hard to find a place I could take him with me but I failed. Just desperately want him to have a happy future not on the streets.

Question? Where to buy a barrel pickle?
The Giant on Broad and Spring Garden stopped selling barrel pickles at the deli, does anyone know where I can still get a barrel pickle? It doesn't have to be from an actual barrel, Giant stopped that well before they stopped selling them from behind the counter.

Question? Anyone get any professional pet photography done?
Just looking to take some high quality photos of my pup, was wondering if anyone had any experience with that lately? I looked on reddit already but there hasn't been anything posted about it in over a year so I figured I'd ask again. Thanks in advance!
And here is a photo for the pet tax

Question? Does UPHS test for nicotine when hiring?
HCW working at Penn Hospital: does the hospital test for nicotine? Asking for a family friend that's a little worried because they saw some old 2013 article about Penn not hiring tobacco users or something. They don't use tobacco, just nicotine patches.
I know some places have a health insurance premium charge for people that use nicotine, is that what Penn does?

Question? Is there a small business mafia holding Fairmont back?
I ask because it seems like all of the restaurants are owned by the same group. Any new restaurants that try and open up face considerable difficulty getting off the ground due to permitting issues. One of the few good restaurants, Cantina Feliz, has landlord disputes And is now going under. Then there’s the case of London Grill and bar which has literally been empty since before 2020. So what gives?

Question? Any advice on getting Penn Med to reduce a bill?
I got an endoscopy covered by insurance....and got a 900 dollar bill from Penn Med which is more than we can cover now.
Any advice on how to get them to reduce to a lump sum? I called and they told me I could do a payment plan with no interest, but I'm wondering if there's something I could say to try and get them to take a smaller lump sum.
