It seems like the commenter is repeating a litany they’ve been taught.

I have a friend who keeps sheep west of Worcester. She also keeps a working dog, a Great Pyrenees, to guard her farm. She has to put him in a closed place when I come to visit because he is not only protecting from animal predators.

I have nothing but respect for people who live in western Massachusetts. Even where I live, east of Worcester, I’ve seen coyotes, black bear, and bobcat in my small backyard. We have homeless people, too, and people who have serious troubles who need help.

You may start to feel differently, once you start paying income taxes and find out that so much money collected in our state is used to benefit those states that frustrate us.

A reprieve like what we have today is always followed by something like that Nemo storm.

At least that has been my experience in Massachusetts.

Thank you for the heads-up. I just ordered the refill online. The system should notify me when they have it ready. I will be grateful to the CVS workers.

Me too! Happy Yule😸🎄💕

Well it appears she missed the internet pact among women to stop shaving body hair.

I could wax eloquent but I’ll simply say I’d bee proud to store firewood in this.

Before you paint joint compound, it’s water soluble. Take a big sponge to clean it off, let the area dry.
