Edit that to say Rhody in general and you have a point.

Pedestrians have never been great at that intersection- to be fair though no one driving pays any attention either - lots of illegal turns despite signage and lights and u turns in stupid places.

When does your lease actually expire?

Massachusetts too!

Winter farmers market in Pawtucket. But I think it’s saturdays?

Boston is def more of an event and worth it esp if you are bringing kids. You can take the t tho? If you didn’t want to park downtown?
Kinda shocked Boston is cheaper but maybe it’s early enough in the run? I think the time commitment is probably more of a factor than gas money.

Interesting! Still / better than eastside and comparable to every place else I’ve ever been. And the staff is the same staff and we like them. So haven’t noticed a change. Which is good. A corporate owner isn’t an issue for me / that was the OP.

At best they’ll lower the fee if you show up but that’s all showing up will get you. Also Ps you were actually speeding and in the wrong. Pay the damn ticket.

I’ve seen criticism of literally every vets prices on one platform or another but very little comments about quality of care. We had been at eastside and got brushed off when our pet had an emergency situation so we shopped around and are much happier at PRAH - and their parking is better to boot. Our cats are at city kitty / the care is excellent and like literally everyone else not cheap but I’m not sure why people think folks with training and expertise should be free.

I’ve gone to vets in four different states. No one here seeks more expensive than anywhere else (save nyc). So not sure if the comparison makes sense, nor the common idea that pets are cheap to take care of. Not saying you are saying that but it’s amazing to me how many people didn’t do the math before getting a pet (esp during Covid).

I'm not sure why folks think there's such thing as a cheap vet. PRAH isn't corporate owned or a chain so it's mom and pop actually. Having said that, Petco Vets are cheaper but you get what you pay for IMHO.

Are you in or close to PVD? Cozy corner on waterman st or the ymca child care center on Hope.

No but you could not cash your check if you really wanted to walk the walk - or at least suspend taking it until 70 - but gotcha / libertarian blow hard aka FU and yours unless it’s about me and mine. Noted.

So you don't like it but you'll take it. Noted. Point made.

BRU!

Ok so when you retire you’ll be returning your social security checks? And not checking NOAA weather forecasts? Or using the federally funded highways? Etc etc? Gotcha.

No modern country has a retirement age that young that’s an unrealistic pipe dream. Also worth pointing out the European countries that have retirement ages more to your liking have high tax rates. If you want an earlier retirement age, fund the social safety net through (you guessed it) taxes!

It’s cause we don’t pay a living wage and don’t have national healthcare and a social safety net but go on….. also retire at 60? Gimme a break. Reddit brings out the libertarians doesn’t it

It’s the basis for a working functional society. Go live in Yemen if you want to see how that works. Or Kabul. That’s some libertarian BS that you’re sharing right there.

If your cat is stressed out, get a cat sitter who will house sit? Recommend wiggle walkers on the west side of PVD. On the surface a dog walking company but they stay over for all kinds of animals.

Yes I think paying taxes is a common good. Do I think something that is fueling global warming should cost more? Yes yes I do.

It should be discounted if electric. In this day and age. Otherwise tax away.

Why should having a car be cheap?

Coastal waterman in EP. Big fan of dr ward. But we’ve seen just about everyone at sick visits etc. their NPs in particular are great.
