If you get a medical card, you get pretty good discounts. Besides the % off, most dispensaries give me $50 off of my first four orders. I used to like Cornbread (Indica) when I could get it.

The same way I did. Grow older and you’ll age into it.

I have one from when I was 18 and was considering another one. 623 Tattoo in Watertown met my basic standards. I don't know what you're getting, but they seemed nice. I considered getting a mental health-related tattoo and then decided against it. They immediately returned my deposit. Josh and Courtney were the ones who I spoke to:

Did you check on Massachusetts state PFL? I got onto that 3 months into a new job, because I had been paying into it at my previous Massachusetts job.

Sorry, just reread. Ugh! That’s super sucky. Part of why people get into nonprofits is the benefits, and they’re supposed to act like humans.

Did you ask if you could do it on Zoom?

Newton to Malden sucked. As did running out of gas on that stupid bridge where it’s illegal. 🙄

I was at that rally. On the anti Nazi side.

Have you thought about Raleigh/Durham? I spent five very happy years there. It’s a little oasis in North Carolina. I still think about retiring there. It’s a whole lot less expensive. But on the plus side, Newton Massachusetts has excellent senior services.

I was in sales before. So… sales! I’m looking at pivoting to non profits in my old age.

Everyone hates lawyers until they need one.

Yeah, I graduated from law school in 2006. Didn’t pass the Massachusetts bar. Work in another field. If I didn’t already have a house, I’d be in there. 😁

That’s not what I’ve heard specifically about Harvard.

Generally people leave those Harvard jobs because the amount of work is overwhelming. Just a little heads up.

Herb Chambers doesn’t “haggle.” The only slime part is the add-ons they try to sell you in finance. I’ve had good experiences with them.

They have ONE in stock. I got my used car by finding it online there and asking them to hold it for me and ran over.

This so perfectly exemplifies Boston. I have a next-door neighbor who’s never really talked to me. I did talk to him once when he grabbed my dogs as they were trying to escape to thank him. I invited him and his wife over for dinner with my husband and me he declined but yesterday his fence fell down and he made sure to text me so we could move our car completely out of the way and promised to make as little disturbance as possible fixing it Monday.

Not super friendly, but responsible and courteous .

Trader Joe’s isn’t particularly expensive and they’re a decent employer.
