Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

Welcome to Philly!

Look online, I do a co-ed intermural soccer league over at U-Penns campus. It's a great way to meet people

Welcome to Philly! I also just moved from LA!! Philly is super walk able and has a lot of beautiful parks. Happy to share some thoughts through DM.

I just moved back as well after being gone sometime! If youre into beach volleyball, I've always played pick up games on the sand courts at Drexel's campus - people are friendly and some are very decent players.

Also Heyday Athletic has paid leagues that run on a set schedule.

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention?

Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.
