Mine was the opposite and made a huge difference - dumb, I know

DeMoulas counter attacked just last night. My folks' place is pretty close to the front, and when the wind's just right you can hear the potato guns.

Finally visited Wegman’s

I finally visited the Wegman’s location closest to me, in Medford, MA. Oh how I love this store! I will be going there again definitely though I’d like to check out the Burlington, MA, location next as people have told me it is bigger and even better. I found the quality so much better than Whole Foods which has really gone downhill. Plus, it feels good to support a family-owned store. So, from now on I’ll be shopping Market Basket & Wegman’s vs. Market Basket & Whole Foods.

Spectacular Spring Sunset in Mass, US

Saw the glow out my window, grabbed the camera and ran to the car! Was the perfect night, cool breeze, sunset kept changing and light rain.

While listening to a family put a large boat in the water for the first time. Always entertaining.

Condor airlines carry on

I am flying from out of BOS Logan internationally on condor airlines. I have been reading their carry on policy and seems like a carry on must not exceed 8kg which is nearly impossible to do. Has anyone flown out of Logan with condor air? Did they actually weigh your carry on bag?

$99 cup of coffee at Cumby’s?

I don’t know if it’s inflation or dubious “Dubai coffee” but $99 is too rich for me!! 😂 Or maybe their fiver graphic designer in a faraway land is not used to using the ¢ symbol.

Serious Storms

Here in Boylston we just got clobbered with the most intense t-storm. Started about 5pm and the worst part was around 5:45pm. I counted 4 strikes within 1/3 mile of me within 5 minutes and for about 10 seconds I couldn't see through the rain 50 yds outside my window. Watch out east!

Edit: adding link from Davidian Bros. I just watched them sow that field on Sunday. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BHSMmNHda/

Massachusetts lawmakers get thousands in stipends. Critics say it stifles democracy

Senate President Spilka says "the Senate's record of vigorous debate speaks for itself." - it certainly does, were facing 10+ ballot questions this year because of these grifters.

Mass. is one of a handful of states with a full-time legislature - what exactly do we have to show for it?

I can’t afford anything

It’s starting to get worse and worse and I feel like if I don’t figure out a high income career fast im headed for real tough times in the future (homelessness) I have a 2 year old and this is just not an option for me but what do I do ? I’m a phlebotomist and make 22$ an hour, not enough. I dont have a car so everything is so much harder , getting to appointments , getting groceries , I lost my daycare voucher because the daycare that provided it was not accessible by public transport. This or I am spending money i don’t have on Ubers to get to and from appointments for my son and I. it just seems like I am stuck in a financial hole and I just do not know how to get myself out. I want to be financially free but this has been such a difficult/ unattainable journey with the minimal support that I have and these high prices . I am definitely moving out of Massachusetts to the south once I actually have the means to do so but for now I feel like I’m drowning.

Im not good at school is a fair thing to mention as well I have a learning disability so as far as careers that involve serious math / science I just don’t understand it or need support to understand (my dream is to become a nurse I don’t want to tell myself i cant do it or give up but for now I need something immediate with minimal schooling)
