U.S. Passports do NOT cost $500.

If you have a passport then that is a Real ID and you don't need a State ID real ID. Eventually if you want to go into a federal bldg. you would need a Real ID to enter the bldg.

>It is spelled Quincy but pronounced Quinzee the same way President Quincy's family pronounced it.

They don't do it often, but it actually can be used.

They can decide not being able to provide a roof over your head as being a danger to yourself, and at least place him on a three day hold. This would give his family a chance to file for guardianship.

In MA they are NOT permitted to discharge them to the street. They MUST find a bed for them (even if it is only for the night). I have been an advocate for the homeless so I know what I am talking about. IF someone is coming from a hospital they can either get them a bed usually at one of the shelters in Boston or at the Barbara McInnis House in Boston (as a step down from the hospital.)

Yes, but in MA hospitals are not supposed to discharge patients to the street. They are supposed to find a bed for them someplace. Why have they not deemed him a risk to himself or others? I think I would go to court and apply to become his guardian even though you have no idea where he is. I would also file a missing person report and get a picture sent to all the hospitals and homeless shelters.

So if he is homeless and in need of care you should have him hospitalized and ask them to admit him to a nursing home if he is unable to care for himself. If they think he is of sound mind but is in need of care but not at the level of nursing home care ask them to refer him to Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Barbara McInnis House. This is a locked medical shelter. There are doctor and nurses on staff there.

NOTE: I am not a healthcare provider but rather a former advocate for the homeless. This is not professional advice, but rather my personal opinion of what should be done.

Maybe they'd like to become part of Mexico!

He's pled guilty though!

MA law gives you 60 days after moving here to change your license to a MA license.

lol. At least you got something. They told me that although I filed taxes I'm not entitled to one of the checks because I got all the taxes that had been taken out of my checks back.

I didn't say this situation. I simply said going slow CAN also cause accidents.

I agree that they should slow down. I in no way was advocating for not slowing down. I was simply pointing out it can go both ways.

Don't know why people downvoted my post. Are they all new to MA and don't know this?

I guess they aren't very bright in the MIT/Harvard neighborhood.

Your right, but slowing down can kill too if all the other drivers are not slowing down.

Every driver would riot!

I wouldn't take advice from a person not known to be an attorney! I am NOT an attorney but if I was you I'd seek the advice of an attorney in order to not to go against the law as, I BELIEVE you can be on the hook if you don't follow the rules!

All I know is what my employer said when I working in the group homes.

Yah, it was in the 90's. I would imagine it is still the case except now it would be with the gender you identify with meaning if you identify as a female (despite birth gender being male) then you must go to the female restroom.

I feel exactly the same way! Now having said that when I worked in group home's we were told that according to MA law the person that needs to use the facilities must use the one they identify with, and that if you don't you are subject to arrest.

I have NEVER seen the law written but that is what we were told! I can't tell you how many times I have had to go into a men's restroom that had multiple stalls even though I am a female because my clients were mail. The company said the law doesn't care if the caretaker is of the opposite gender or not; we must take them to their own gender bathroom.

When I visited a coffee shop which had a single stall men's room and a single stall ladies room we were told me could not enter the men's room unless the women's room was out of order. I suggested to the owner that she take off the gender identity and simply put restroom on the sign seeing they were individual bathrooms, but she wouldn't hear of such a thing. What's funny is it would help women the most seeing that out in public it is usually the women's restroom that has long lines.

Maybe they are not aware that the light is out.

Yes and when the turtles are ready to be released often their is a chain that occurs. If their are turtles that are ready to be released north of Baltimore then those states will usually drive the turtles to the next state that have some to be released and they take them to the next state that have some ready to go so multiple states don't all have to drive south to say Florida to release them (during the north's winter.)
