Nah, that’s North Kingstown. This apparently is an actual district parent. An idiot, but a real parent.

Full discretion: I have not read this book.

What I’m most intrigued by is… the parent had the syllabus at the beginning of the course and signed off on it. I guarantee it listed the specific books. Their objection is “I assumed it was approved by the district.” Why does that change anything?

And second, they reference Common Sense Media’s rating of the book as 17+. This class is an elective only open to 11th and 12th graders, so generally that audience.

“There is such a high rate of mental health issues with kids these days,” the parent said. “Kids shouldn’t have to read this.” No one has to. It’s an elective. Don’t take the class if you don’t want to read it.

Very funny, Rascal, very funny. In your dreams.

I went hunting for this!

Obviously not a recipe but worth buying the components and doing a bit of a taste test to get it right. :-)

ETA: I don’t think it’s in the comments — that cocktail is at Providence Provisions Kitchen & Bar at TF Green.

These are fantastic ideas!

Am I just blind or are North Smithfield and Smithfield High Schools missing?

Why bother campaigning for a year to be elected only to resign three months in?

Adding a comment and an updoot because my curly-headed son is growing his hair out and also needs someone to help give him a bit better shape.

The guideline is usually if it’s “smaller than a dollar bill,” it’s repaired versus replaced. It’ll be easy peasy and you’ll have it all set in no time. :-)

Your insurance has no way of knowing how long it’s been there. As far as you know, it just happened. The people who do your windshield — who will just do a repair, not a replacement unless there’s a big crack — don’t care either. They see it every day.

For clarity because at least for me, there’s a paywall…

> Former state Housing Secretary Josh Saal, who resigned under political pressure last month

> But he was criticized by top lawmakers for moving too slowly to put $250 million in budgeted federal funds for housing programs into action and for missing administrative deadlines.

> McKee announced Saal's resignation Jan. 11, less than a year after he was hired.

> Saal, who made $174,565 last year and $22,014 in January, will also receive $5,614 in unused vacation time, and the state will pay for his health insurance for three months

> The consulting contract provides Saal a minimum of 20 hours of work per week, meaning that by April 25 he would make at least $27,000 under the deal. The contract does not include a maximum of hours he can work, but sources familiar with the Housing Department indicated he was not expected to work full time over the three month period. If he did and worked 40 hours per week, he would receive more than $54,000 over three months.

You are absolutely correct. A woman was found in Carbuncle Pond in Coventry that police did determine was a homicide. And then a woman was found in Round Top Pond in Burrillville, partially submerged, and it was determined she had fallen in because she tried to walk on ice that was much too thin. She was a psychologist, and hunters found her, and there was absolutely no foul play suspected.

This is complete BS.

She is beauty, she is grace, she needs to be in my face.

This looks amazing.

Read this as “dad” instead of “dog,” and thought, he’s going to be pissed when someone touches that thermostat.

Look at the top comment, friend.

At least this thread but I believe there have been others as well.

They’re hoping (planning) to open in the Seasons building on Mineral Spring and do some food truck stuff as well. Their other location in, I think Narragansett? is still in operation but I think might be seasonal.

This is very sad. I feel terrible for his family and friends, and the people who tried very hard to get the word out and find him. Poor kid.

Did get the message, didn’t reply. I assumed it was junk, and frankly… I have enough friends.

>Living in Providence is pretty good. I would not recommend anywhere else in the state though.

This makes me think you’ve never actually BEEN anywhere else in the state.
