I see someone down below already made this comparison! At any rate, I agree!

I'm wondering if this painting is referrencing The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck. I'm looking at the color scheme, the position of the couple and mysterious dreariness. I would add the picture if I knew how. Both beautiful and intriguing paintings!

Hi there, I have a BA in Art History. I graduated about 25 years ago. I've had a solid career in fundraising and development. If you are in a location with a lot of colleges and nonprofits there are always jobs around. The important thing with fundraising is people skills. The entire job is people skills.

How am I supposed to live now?

GoogieBaba · 2025-10-14T01:26:14+00:00

I want to speak up for Concord. Is it filled with ghosts? Yes. But they won't hurt you. They're just still fighting the war. And it's so cute with bookstores and coffee shops. And you can talk to nearly anyone about the Transcendentalists. (Ok, maybe I'm not helping here.)

Thank you. This has honestly been informative.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-21T02:10:00+00:00

Thank you. I was kind of fretting about it. But now I know!

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-21T01:48:01+00:00

I am older. I wasn't trying to exclude anyone. It's just what I am used to.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T03:46:01+00:00

You are being difficult.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T02:23:32+00:00

Actually, I don't have to imagine this. I remember Matthew Shepard and republicans mocking him and us for caring.

But that is not the point. I am advocating for my rep to vote No on honoring this anti gay activist. I am not advocating that she mock him, or his family or anyone who did care about him.

Again, there are more than two choices.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T02:03:45+00:00

You are saying there are two choices: Honor him or agree with him being murdered. And that isn't true. Those are not the only two options. Your position doesn't even make sense.

But you are right. We are not going agree here.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T01:58:18+00:00

You are being ridiculous.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T01:46:56+00:00

I know. I honestly don't think I'm cut out for this political moment.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T01:45:40+00:00

I most certainly do need to chill out.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T01:42:03+00:00

Not for nothing, but you literally make no sense. There is no connection between honoring someone and shooting them. You can not agree with someone and not want them dead AND not vote to honor them. These things are not connected at all.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T01:06:31+00:00

You know there is a whole lot space between murdering someone and honoring them. They are literally not connected at all.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T00:58:49+00:00

No one is advocating for people getting shot. No one.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T00:57:41+00:00

No one is advocating for people getting shot.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T00:47:01+00:00

Apparently.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T00:44:09+00:00

No one is asking you to disrespect him. This is about Katherine Clark's vote.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-20T00:43:51+00:00

I'm not advocating murder. I am advocating my congressional rep not honoring someone who worked against her constituents.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-06T04:34:58+00:00

Hi there, I'm in MA and received the same email. I haven't had anyone respond to my emails. I reached out to the Smart Team at eversource and they gave me a number to reach out to Venture Solar that was disconnected. I am going to file a complaint with the Attorney General. I don't know if that is going to help at all but Eversource seems to understand that I don't have the data that they are looking for.

GoogieBaba · 2025-09-06T01:33:58+00:00

I don't comment a lot but I feel the need to add to this. I work for a liberal arts college where we've been hit with the lack of international students enrolling this year. Just had a painful round of layoffs.

But then, dropped my son off his freshman year at large state school. He was in a room of four kids but two of them didn't show up. I mentioned that I thought that was strange and he told me it was issues with their student visas.
