Verizon Landlines
I got a letter from Verizon today that they are getting rid of landlines. Now I'm upset. I get NO cell service of any kind at my house. Dead zone. My landline is my contact with the outside world. When the power goes off, which is way too often around here, my phone always works. I have an I Phone, it is connected to my WiFi, but again, my WiFi doesn't work when the power goes off. I'm 77 and not in the best of health. What am I supposed to do?

Panther Valley Outage. Is there a way to find out? It is not listed anywhere and IDK if they have a text system or something for emergencies. Thanks.

JCP&L Billing Increase
I just received my July 2026 bill from JCP&L. This bill is $20.00 more compared with 2025 for the same amount of usage. Not sure how JCP&L can justify this amount of an increase in costs to customers. Has anyone else experienced an increase in their electric bills?

Garage Sale Set-ups Venues
I cannot have a garage sale where I am located. Does anybody know of a place where you can bring your own table and pay a fee to sell your personal items? I am not interested in a huge flea market. I have no junk. Thank you ...
