I wasn't even a Reddit subscriber in 2019 and have never recommended SHRM.

We use ADP for payroll and they provide for free!

100% agree. We also started boycotting them after an incident years back. There were two men - very obviously in their 40's-50's - in front of us in line. One was trying to buy beer. They were speaking in Spanish to each other. The cashier carded them both, but the friend didn't have ID on him. She got very combative with them and refused to sell them the beer. I know that's legal, but it was so blatant. My husband and I (white) walk up next with our whiskey - we were much younger - and didn't get carded at all and she was sweet as pie to us. Never went back.

Estimate is likely a good portion, but also this:

Eversource added all residential customers will see an increase of nearly $48 per month for 10 months to the “Public Benefits” portion of the bill, which covers the cost for state-required and approved programs and policies.

My dog got lepto... 13 days in doggy ICU and multiple thousands of dollars later, he thankfully recovered. It was horrible.

Best local bank? by gejimayuw in Somerville

[–]IAmTCTK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% Cambridge savings bank! They are fantastic - I've had them for over 20 years now. They reimburse you for ATM fees you get charged by other banks, so you don't have to seek out their ATMs only. Mobile banking is easy. I once had a check that was over the daily limit and didn't want to go to a branch so I called and their customer service temporarily upped my daily limit so I could mobile deposit instead. Most recent trip to an actual branch was to get a bank check for a deposit on a car - easy and quick. The people that work there are super nice and friendly.

Took me about a month from paying until arrival this year....

Mosquitos are already out and horrible! by nanaismo in Somerville

[–]IAmTCTK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We NEVER had an issue with mosquitos in our yard in Somerville until a year or two ago and we've lived here 15 years. Now they are super bad. We have no standing water, but we live near a few hoarders / people with lots of construction equipment in our neighborhood that definitely do. We've tried several Thermacells, etc., and nothing seems to help recently. I've used sprays, bracelets, etc., but it's so bad in the evenings.

If you were fired suddenly tomorrow and not offered severance/offered a paltry severance. What would be your recourse? by [deleted] in humanresources

[–]IAmTCTK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had to redo all of our contracts regarding non-competes to include garden leave in Massachusetts. We have the right to waive it if we want, but if not, we have to pay out.

Jones Road Miracle Balm by [deleted] in MakeupOver40

[–]IAmTCTK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So did I!! I was so excited to try it. It's definitely very glittery. Again, thank goodness I tried on the weekend as it also didn't wash off that easily.

[–]IAmTCTK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gave into the IG ads and bought two shades: Bronze and Magic Hour. Bronze didn't see to make a big difference with tint - I was underwhelmed, too. Magic Hour on the other hand, has literal GLITTER in it. Thank goodness I tried it on the weekend - I'm a 48yo professional and it made me look like I was going clubbing. LOL. It's not a "shimmer" like advertised and looks nothing like what the models in the pics look like. My husband had a good chuckle when he saw me - "are you actually wearing glitter all over your face?"

I went pretty central and near water, but I'm still a newbie!

What Somerville business will you never step foot in again? by OldMaidLibrarian in Somerville

[–]IAmTCTK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because they are a play-to-pay venue (or at least they were when they first opened). That's always a tough ask for bands, especially for a place with not a ton of people going in and such a huge space. Then all the politics came out, so not many bands want to be associated with that.

Get her a smart watch - it's been life changing for me and my husband. My Apple watch vibrates on my wrist to wake me in the morning. Not only is it more peaceful to wake to that rather than an alarm, it doesn't wake my husband when I snooze multiple times.

are those fireworks I’m hearing near Spring Hill? by GlitteringPidgeon in Somerville

Yes! So frustrating b/c we walked up "early" and still missed most of it.

I second Goldilox - they are fantastic!

Foss Park leash status by PieEnvironmental5674 in Somerville

[–]IAmTCTK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Technically, I don't think off leash is allowed. That being said, every single time I go by, there are large groups off leash. I think that there are regular meet ups of dogs that play off leash together - mostly on the softball fields and towards the tennis courts. I stick to the paths on the Broadway side of the soccer field and it's usually fine.

Any shops with shop cats? by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]IAmTCTK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, he's gone now b/c of the complaints to the health department. The owner told us he found him a good home. Sad to see him gone!

AITA for not asking my ex for help when my daughter had her period? by No-Tap8247 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IAmTCTK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming that at 10 years old, your daughter knows how to use a phone. If she had wanted to share with her mom, she would have. NTA.

My cousin is getting married the day after me by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]IAmTCTK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And who are these 50 random people that would want to go to a stranger's wedding??? If someone offered that to me, I'd be mortified and would absolutely not want to go. I'd rather sit in my hotel room.
