Well that’s because they aren’t an appropriate animal for hoards of students petting to calm down.

I mean they’re not pets they’re wild animals. You’re better off contacting a petting zoo at least those animals are domesticated and used to being touched. And this is all assuming you’re not a troll.

I let my guard down this fall and ended up catching it early December. Luckily I didn’t end up passing it to an elderly family member I saw a few days before testing positive (probably wasn’t exposed until the next day). I’m youngish, boosted, and took paxlovid and it still knocked me down for a month. This is still a nasty bug.

I love the beach in April & October it’s cold but it’s also incredibly peaceful. I bitch about needing to drive an hour but it’s totally worth it.

I don’t understand how this happens with commercial vehicles you would think their routes are planned out to properly account for their size.

That seems like a safe time to be out. I remember that day I lived well outside of the lockdown area so mom and I decided to go out shopping the helicopters circling overhead made us realize we may have made a mistake.

Jobs I can see it’s amazing how many bosses don’t give a shit. When I was a cashier my boss wanted me to come in when the roads were closed in case someone suddenly needed printer paper. Too bad we can’t hold corporations accountable.

I don’t understand how so many people got stranded on the road? It’s not like in ‘78 where they didn’t have accurate weather forecasts wasn’t this predicted?

And I’ve only had it once, caught from babysitting a toddler with the flu. I’ve gotten the vaccine every year since plus use hand sanitizer and social distance when appropriate. Anecdotal evidence aside actual evidence has shown following your guidance is much more likely to lead to the flu and other respiratory illnesses.

I stopped wearing it and then I caught covid at the beginning of the month. I wanted to be done with this shit so bad oh well mask is back on.

It’s almost as if climate =/= weather.

Most of them really don’t mean any harm it’s awful. I actually bought a cat from a hoarder, she had somewhere between 15-20 cats on the second floor of her small home some of the cats were literally living in travel kennels stacked in the laundry room. She was being evicted and had to rehome her cats which was devastating for her. The cats were absolutely better off being rehomed but it’s still heartbreaking to see. My cat was one of her favorites and was evidently quite pampered he came home with us to continue a long life of pampering.

I don’t know I think half the state would riot other half would celebrate.

I hate Stop & Shop I only go when I need something convenient. It’s as unpleasant to shop as Market Basket, nearly as expensive as Roche Bros and the quality is total crap.

Everyone is being squeezed financially so it’s harder to fix something if it breaks on your car.

My ‘98 Buick didn’t either. Really made the 3 hours a day I spent commuting so much more fun.

I have a cat and I still have mice.

As of a few minutes ago: 1,2,4 Yes. 3 No.

No way. He’s not insane enough for the party of trump and he’s still a republican so he wouldn’t do well enough with Dems.

FYI you shouldn’t think in terms of distance rather time. For example 30 miles could take 20 minutes or 90 minutes depending on time and where you’re traveling.

Then I would say try Roche Bros it’s between Shaws & Whole Foods in quality and price.

Are you in Boston proper or the suburbs? Do you have a car? If you’re in the suburbs and have a car Market Basket is the best it’s cheap and with good quality veggies. Shaws and Stop&Shop are ok but way too expensive. If you’re in central or Western MA I’m not too sure.

Unless you’re really into the lore you’re better off with day after. Salem on Halloween is a mad house, you can barely move there are so many people, if you don’t yet have a reservation to a restaurant you won’t eat and the train from Boston is literally standing room only.

> “The right-wing controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures … the power to overturn presidential elections. Just think, the 2024 presidential election could be decided not by the popular vote, or even by the anachronistic electoral college, but by state legislatures, many of them Republican-controlled.”

She’s not saying the election results will be fraudulent she’s saying republicans will do what they attempted in 2020 and overwrite the will of the people. Anyone that witnessed the lead up and attempted coup on January 6th and doesn’t have the same concern is naive.

Election deniers scare me. They are a legitimate threat to our democracy.
