People always know someone who can help (altruistic “I know a guy”)

Antojitos (Woon and North Attleboro) has amazing street corn.

Yup. Went yesterday, had ordered through their app — two donuts, two coffees and a breakfast sandwich. I pulled up to the speaker and they couldn’t find the order. Then they found it and handed me one coffee and asked “why are you still waiting.” Three more trips to the window and “what else,” I finally had the whole order.

The property is a pre-existing, non-conforming lot that was created before the town enacted 2-acre minimum lot size in that residential zone.

It’s the WORST! Waking up when you can see your breath… no thanks.

I said it below but I’m saying — if it’s below 32 OUTSIDE, it doesn’t have to get to 32 inside for them to freeze; if they’re in an exterior wall, they can still freeze even if inside the house is above freezing. Sorry if I worded it poorly.

Aha! 73 sounds super toasty and very comfy. If you have zone heating, you could always turn the heat on downstairs only and just let it travel up naturally. But, your house, your business. Either way, 73 sounds delightful.

I think the concern is… if it’s 50 inside the house, it’s probably NOT 50 outside the house and a lot of pipes are in exterior walls. So if the temp is low inside the house, the actual pipes can drop way below that temp (50 in this case) and get to freezing.

I’m saying this because years ago, I woke up to no heat during a blizzard and frozen pipes and it was a reeeeally shit-tastic few days.

That is incredibly cold. Not sure if you’re in a house or apartment, but you might want to just be cognizant of making sure pipes don’t freeze at any point. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t have to be below 32 for them to freeze.

Edit: why on earth would I get downvoted for that?

The trash, hopefully

You have no idea the circumstances of this person’s life. It’s very easy to say a bunch of “what I’d do is…” from the comfort of your keyboard. You don’t know what other people are going through, and that includes OP.

Blackbird Farm in Smithfield (right up Rt 7, off 295) has them and they’re open 9-8.

Agreed. This question never makes sense to me. There is literally always shit going around all the time.

It’s like breathing fucking soup

You have literally NO idea what I’ve done or not done, who I am, what I’ve gone through. Just like I don’t know you.

I didn’t cry about anything, but that’s cute. I mentioned something on topic about the particular thread we’re in. I know, crazy, right? I think any parent who sends their kids to school sick sucks.

She’s a college professor who works two days a week. She can do what she needs to.

School isn’t daycare. If your kid is sick, sure you may not be able to care for them yourself — you have a backup plan. If you don’t, you think your best bet is to send your sick kid to school to infect all the kids and teachers?

Solid parenting.

Well, obviously. I remember as a kid that “perfect attendance” was touted as an achievement. In some schools, it still is. It’s also complete horseshit.

I’m not saying she doesn’t keep her kids home until there’s not a single sniffle or cough. I’m saying she doesn’t keep them home at all because “it’s not Covid, it’s just a cold.”

My sister keeps sending her kids (not in RI) to school sick because “we tested, it’s not Covid, it’s just a cold.” I said, people don’t want a cold, either.

Some people just don’t fucking get it.

It makes you sick, dummy.

I miss the smell of Benny’s.

And going there with my parents to pick out reasonably priced pool floats. It was so exciting.
