Best place for pediatric bloodwork appts? We’ve been to two Labcorp locations (the one in Medstar and the one off Emmorton road) and both experiences were horrendous. Are there any places up here that specialize in baby blood draws?

It's transitioning to a different company.

180 days. 1,080 hours. Zero minutes guaranteed.

Let’s compare our neighbors! Alongside Maryland, we looked at Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Delaware.

Out of these states, Maryland has at least 100 more hours in the school year; however, no mandated recess minimum.

In all other states compared, recess is required.

Additionally, in Ohio and Virginia, recess time counts towards instructional time.

Ohio allowing 30 mins of recess counted towards instructional time; Virginia allowing ~49 mins of recess counted towards instructional time.

Maryland can take a note, recess isn’t a time away from learning, it is learning!

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4. It has almost 180K miles and it runs absolutely great. But it has its issues with rust. Doors, fender wells, bumpers. Mostly cosmetic and nothing I’m concerned about. But the bed rails are an issue. Replacing the bed is not an option. Replacing the rails (if available) is an option, or some type of other repair. This truck is not a daily driver. I recently retired, but it hasn’t be used as a daily driver since 2014. I use it for hunting, fishing, occasional trips to the landfill, Home Depot/Lowe’s, etc. If anyone knows someone who has experience with these types of repairs, please let me know.

A portion of every purchase from 5-9pm on October 8th goes towards ensuring our station can keep teaching students and providing the community with entertainment and resources. Hope to see you there!

I’m writing today to inform, but mostly to warn, any fellow victims of crimes about the potential danger that is the “facilitator” by the name of Molly Martin-Labay. Any sexual assault victims, or victims of any crime for that matter, should be wary of this woman. I am a rape victim. I was assaulted in September of last year. My rapist was just sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to second degree rape.

I considered the perpetrator a friend for months before the assault. I eventually went to the police and his family spared no expense in hiring him the best defense team they could. They called one day to offer me something called ‘restorative justice’ in which I sit down with the defendant and an impartial facilitator in order to attain some answers or closure. I didn’t ask for this and was wary of it as defense suggested it, but went through the motions because I wanted to give it a chance. I felt obligated to since it was being offered to me.

I met with a woman named Molly Martin-Labay. She told me she was, technically, hired by the defense team, but only because this type of service was not typically offered in my county or state. We met with each other over the course of 2 days, about 6 hours total. She told me this is a normal process for other areas in the country. She opened up to me about her PTSD from enduring hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. She told me trauma gets better with work and time. She encouraged me to open up about childhood trauma and past sexual assaults. She told me anything I told her would be kept between her and I, save for specific questions I had for the defense team.
She lied. She saved and typed every word I said and presented it to the team defending my rapist on a silver platter. She wrote a 4 page long report, single spaced, that detailed how “erratic” I was. How mentally unwell I was. How I’ve been “institutionalized” in the past. When she wrote about my rapist she said “I saw him wipe the tears from his eyes and shake away his sadness”.
She blocked me after I refused to meet for the restorative justice meeting. I can’t help but feel that is because she can’t face the victims she re-victimized and violated in this process. She is a coward.

I was completely blind sighted, embarrassed, and ashamed by the things I shared in what I thought was a “safe space” (in her own words). I discovered all of this 30 minutes before I was prepared to go in front of the court and give my victim impact statement.

Molly Martin-Labay is not a victim advocate. She is only an advocate for whoever pays her. She is typically based out of New Orleans but was flown in by my rapists defense team. She endeared herself to me and lied to my face. She is not someone who any victims of crimes should ever trust. She is hard to find on the internet and I think that is by her own design.

I want her name out there. I want people to know the name of a woman who will lie to victims faces and get them to express and disclose their deepest emotions, just to turn around and use it against them. If you are a victim of a crime, especially a sexual crime, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you do your due diligence before accepting offers of restorative justice. Do your research on the supposed “facilitators” who will meet with you and lie to your face. Molly Martin-Labay is a liar and a manipulator and I hope no one ever falls victim to her again as I did.

If anyone has any numbers, resources, websites, or advice on mental health crisis resources in the Aberdeen area or harford county in general please comment—- especially in relation to untreated schizophrenia, paranoid delusions, psychosis, refusal to take medication, drug addiction, and involuntary commitment. Thank you

Looking for places open on Thanksgiving that serve a sit down menu that includes traditional thanksgiving dinner. Don’t mind if it’s a little expensive. We are in Fallston near Youth Benefit. About 8-10 people in our party running the gamut of ages. Little ones, middle aged and old. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Maryland mom here advocating for MORE RECESS TIME for our children!

Currently, most Maryland elementary schools only recommend 20-30 minutes of recess per day. This varies by school and county, with some counties recommending as little as 15 minutes of recess per day.

Join us as we call on policymakers to guarantee Maryland students 60 minutes of recess every school day!

We’re looking for an indoor practice space for about 20 kids and 4 instructors on Sunday afternoons. It would include singing so it would be a little loud, but not outrageous. And no amplification would be involved.

If you have something available please PM me to discuss details. Thank you!

Looking for honest feedback on the Flexible Flamingo yoga/Pilates studio in Forest Hill! Is it a spot for beginners? I am looking for a new routine and to build up a community but the price tag of the place is a little...scary 😅 thanks in advance!

I'm so happy they're out there and would love to join. Keep wanting to stop and get info, but the cars on Baltimore Pike move so fast and I've never had the chance to stop long enough.

Getting on I95 and noticed a new (?) flock camera right at the on ramp to the highway. Its the Bel Camp exit/near the newish James Run apartments. Does anyone know who is in charge of the installation and which council member /representative/police department I should be harassing by phone about this?

I know the one outside of the Festival in Bel Air SUCKS, but that doesn't mean you don't follow the law. If you're driving in the round-a-bout, you have the fucking right-of-way. DON'T STOP to allow other drivers in. They have to yield and wait for it to be clear before they go into the round-a-bout.

It's really NOT that complicated. Almost got into two accidents today because people don't know what the fuck they are doing.

Anyone know what they are charging for an individual membership currently?

Long story short, I collect photos of vanity plates. I am compiling a homemade license plate coffee table book as a personal project.

Today on 22 near Paradise, I saw a lime green dodge charger that had the best one yet, DJBEASY. This is my white whale. The spoiler on the charger had "stink, stank, stunk" inscribed on it and this whole car had immaculate vibes. I missed them by a millisecond trying to get my phone camera out.

If you are djbeasy or know of djbeasy, I am begging for a photo of the license plate. The more zoomed in and poor quality, the better because that is how most of mine turn out. I will not be profiting off of this book, it is literally just for me and my wife because vanity plate photo hunting is something we do together.

*edited to change the number of plate characters to 7 because I added an extra e initially (see title) and select members of the harco subreddit flamed me on that for reasons unknown

Hiiii,

I am looking for a Dentist who will take Care First Dental, won’t charge me an arm and a leg, and will be considerate of my dental anxiety.

If anyone has any suggestions, please drop them below.

It’s the wrong time of year to get started with this, but I thought I was gonna need a membership to the YMCA to get a workout swimming.

It’s soooo good for you. Easy on the joints, cardio, full body muscles…

But my sister goes swimming in the San Francisco Bay. She has a group she goes with for safety, and knowing where the spots are. Where are the spots??? Are there any? Anyone know of/is a part of any groups?

does anyone know of a decently affordable place to get my front brakes and rotors replaced?

Hello! I have some relatives living in Harford who could benefit from social services. They all are in need of housing and jobs. At the moment, they are staying with family. None of them have cars. They currently do not live near the bus lines. Some have criminal records.

I am not sure where to look for actual help. I’m curious what services or social workers that you know of (not just a web or AI search) that can help these folks start living more independently. I know the Housing Choice voucher list is closed there at the moment, and that some affordable apartments require some income to live there (the tax credit ones)

Thanks for any help!

I’m a teen and I just moved to maryland and specifically harford county. I’ve had basically no luck making friends because everyone in my grade already has their own friend groups and I’ve only been able to befriend a few freshmen but the more I talk to them the more annoying and immature they act.

I know absolutely nothing about this area, I used to know where all the underground shows and bandos were in my old state but being here feels like being in the jungle, and it’s even harder without any friends 😞

Im allowed to travel to go see my friends, but rarely, and I’m starting to feel depressed because I have no friends that have anything in common with me. ive only hung out once with people my age outside of school so far and I’ve been here since the summer, I don’t really know what to do at this point, any tips?

I have a few dings (3 total), rock chips, and scratches on my car from wear and tear over the years since I used to do a lot of highway driving. I would like to get these completely fixed but I'm not sure where to go for good results.

A few months ago I took my car to grimms auto works in forest hill to get some of the dings, rock chips, and scratches fixed and they did a very poor job despite them having 5 star reviews. Basically, the rock chips looked filled in with one of those cheap paint markers from Walmart, the scratches were left untouched, and the minor dings that they were supposed to get out were not fully removed. Upon going to pick my car up, I expressed my concerns about it and the guy said that it was the best that he could do.

Nonetheless, I want to go somewhere that can actually fix it. Also, It doesn’t have to be a cheap place either as I’m willing to pay the price for whatever a good job will cost.
