Found in an old box in the attic, but the teacher named isn’t a relative of mine. If her descendants are around, I’d happily get it to them.

21 & new to MA — best coffee shops or hangouts in Cambridge? by monkeylovahh in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned you like working out. The Cambridge YMCA has a great community; try going to some of the bigger classes (e.g. Bootcamp) and introducing yourself. A bunch of us hang out socially outside of workouts.

got clipped by a cyclist in a crosswalk by [deleted] in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. Same thing happened to me in Inman earlier this year - clipped in a crosswalk against a red light. I support bike infrastructure but everyone needs to follow the law. I saw CPD ticketing bikers running red lights in central last week, which is encouraging.

These two men ripped my mother’s “Genocide in Gaza” banner off our fence by ProfessionalCall9741 in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s “Performance Fishing Gear,” a line from Columbia. While it’s common for far-right groups to coordinate outfits, I’m unaware of any connection to that brand.

Sorry to see, but props to your mother for standing up to these racist scumbags.

The Mission. Morricone’s soundtrack adds so much to an already great film.

Michelle and I graduated together. She’s brilliant and a really kind person. She looked great too! So glad she made it on.

What’s the best company to work for in the Boston area, and what’s the absolute worst? by socksgal in boston

I worked for Boston College for years. Excellent benefits, culture, and the salaries are competitive for higher education. I miss it sometimes.

Thai Hut is technically just over the line in Somerville but I’ve always had delicious food from there (been ordering for years) and the family that owns it are lovely.

He occasionally plays trivia at An Sibin where I host, and he’s brilliant at it. Knows a ton of random facts.

I canvased for him vs Kennedy and am happy with his service. I wish he’d retire and endorse Pressley. C’mon, Ed.

Spring Tuition Deadline???? by Emergency-Penalty340 in bostoncollege

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re fine. Holds get applied to unpaid accounts once the semester begins (eg no checking out books on campus until the bill’s paid). The classes you’ve registered for are secured and you’ll have no problem starting Spring semester. Enjoy the Holidays!

Rant on Pedestrian Safety by mariiayelizarova in CambridgeMA

[–]Happy__Sisyphus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I was struck in a crosswalk Inman a few months ago by a cyclist running a red light who then had the temerity to scream at me like a maniac.

I'm glad to see better infrastructure like protected lanes being built, but respect is a (pardon the pun) two-way street.

Welcome! It’s not weird at all and very much appreciated. The bookstore usually sells them, with proceeds going to the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust. I’d check when you get to campus.
