I can be a huge smart ass on here- your defensiveness is warranted. Bursts pipes are just about the worst thing next to a fire they a homeowner can experience. Any and all advice is great.

What do you mean by leave sinks open? The faucet? The drain? The valve under the sink? The sink is the bowl with a drain hole in it.

Huge of you to realize you may need some help. I can’t offer anything to you but encouragement and Reddit support. Here’s to a better life.

I’ve been disappointed by Hudson Malone 3 times and overpriced even for Westport. I like the vibe inside but didn’t love the food.

Are you saying 2 trailers pulled by a dump? Damn.
I posted one of a trailer pulling an airplane ( I initially thought it was a helicopter).

I had to take a small trailer to NJ a couple years ago and it was not easy knowing where I could and couldn’t be driving in an unknown area using Waze. I was hoping they added something.

That’s scary. Knowing your day might now be sitting in traffic if the truck doesn’t make it. Glad it worked out!

Reply to comment by pyspark2020 in A 2nd grade teacher in Darien, CT included the book “Julian is a Mermaid” in her curriculum. The book is about a child who transitions, dresses in drag, & strips to his underwear to join a parade. by pyspark2020
What is your reasoning for this being wrong? For transgendered people being wrong? It’s clear you have an issue with a segment of society and you’d rather ignore that segment than simply saying they exist, they, like other groups are mostly good people who just want to live a happy and productive life. But because they are different from you, you’re scared I guess. That’s fine- people get scared all the time. Understand your fears and look at them. I’d hope you’d realize there is nothing to be afraid of, and it’s not worth your energy to be fearful.
Older people - including myself need to realize our viewpoints are outdated. If younger people are good with something then that’s how it’s going to go. It’s their world more than ours. Stop fighting it. Try to live a happy life and help others be happier along the way.

They need to do both though don’t they? Short term and long term goals. Focusing on renewable will not help lower current prices.

Your opinions seem valid but you’re missing the overall point of getting people in position to make changes be able to actually call out the bad actors, show evidence in a clear manner. One person alone can’t get results. You know that’s not how the political system works.
Here’s one of many examples of Katie Porters work. I’d love to see something similar done with Eversource - not that it would result in meaningful change, but I’d still like to see it.

What CA charges has nothing to do with her effectiveness at calling out corporate greed, which she’s been better at than just about anyone in a Congress. And she does it in a direct and succinct, easy to understand and difficult to argue against manner. You can get information from the EEs, economists, supply chain people, etc. and put their information into easy to understand messages. You don’t need to be one of those people.
