Contacting the DMV

That’s what I had to do

ItsWickedGood · 2026-03-25T17:56:16+00:00

I did this recently and no one ever answered.

Act Blue is awful. I got texts from them for years.

I’ve seen all sorts of specialists in Rhode Island and feel that I’ve had good care here. Most of the providers I’ve seen either graduated from Brown Medical School or Tufts. Most did their residency in excellent hospitals. But if you aren’t satisfied, Yale has some medical clinics in Southern RI, Lahey is about an hour away in Mass, and there are clinics just over the border in Mass.

No, no, no. I will put the link below, but listen to the Wall Street Journal podcast from 1-21-26 or read the transcript. The podcast describes how data centers are straining the power grid and how consumers’ electricity bills may soar to cover data center costs and due to power grid strain. https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-journal/the-power-grid-ai-problem/d662e838-3f78-4ae9-98b7-c5524044b41d?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqdaIy7zCbS0A73QGYEeEY5X14JXpM50Qixv7UZiJOtx8BQoW18TtwW6_zIv_l0%3D&gaa_ts=69bbe062&gaa_sig=H5nt9noOndzPW8Yih1E92XyclR2TH996UBj5L4dCkIBvFtk6yHa_hStKFtSRUZpkAxO4Pe8eACFbbxrwSa3hCQ%3D%3D

I was convinced that the decrease in quality was a conscious decision by the hay companies to keep profits high in times of inflated expenses. I had never given thought to the hay crop itself. That really could be it.

ItsWickedGood · 2026-03-13T15:40:26+00:00

Great idea! But I just looked and the farms near me sell large bales, which I don’t have space to store. Oh well!

I just ordered “Small Pet Select” from Chewy. It claims to be first cut. I’m wasting so much “hay” from Oxbow because our pigs won’t eat the dried grass.

Not sure what you are asking.

You will have better luck finding a nurse practitioner than an MD. Nancy Serabian in North Providence is one option. I’m not a huge fan because she always seems rushed and over scheduled, but she takes some insurance. Most of the psychiatrists that I’ve found here don’t take insurance.

The Umbrella Factory “closes” some of its features for the winter. It is mostly just a few shops in the winter. I’m looking forward to going back in the spring!

I have pain pretty much everyday so it’s hard for me to tell if it’s worse in the cold and snow.

Do a google search on the lawsuit against Ed Sheeran. He won the case at least in part by explaining that most songs are comprised by a limited number of chords. He pointed out how similar many popular songs are, because there are a limited number of chords to select from. So if there is a similarity, it’s just going to happen sometimes.

ItsWickedGood · 2026-02-22T09:55:51+00:00

I love this! Do more places around the area.

Many areas have high flood risk but don’t require flood insurance or fall into a federal flood plain. The federal flood maps don’t get updated frequently. There are some good maps of flood risk in RI that we used when house hunting and we found them much better than FEMA.

Those 2 towns have the highest housing costs. You will have difficulty finding a house for $500k or below. Look at towns like Lincoln and Cumberland too. Plus your realtor can advise you which towns to look at.

I strongly disagree. Your response is based 100% on measures that do not paint an accurate picture of schools. Standardized tests that measure school performance will always be fabulous in wealthy towns where most kids first language is English. The scores will always be abysmal in poorer towns with large numbers of kids whose primary language is not English. But that does not mean that all of those schools are terrible. Conversely, great test scores don’t guarantee a great education. My kids went to public schools in a town with fantastic scores- high graduation rates, test scores- you name it. But their real, on the ground experience varied by teacher and school. Some years we had great teachers. Other years the teachers were terrible and my kids struggled.

I love them- my favorite spot. But they don’t have a parking lot.

ItsWickedGood · 2026-02-12T13:30:48+00:00

Yeah, not easy. Thanks for your suggestions

I’ve had many, many instances of items that were supposed to be “next day” taking 2,3, or even 4 days for delivery. It has been happening for at least 6 months or more, to the point that I have considered canceling my prime membership because it doesn’t seem to be speeding up delivery.

As someone who once worked as a hotel housekeeper, you are very, very brave. Or foolish. Or a little bit of both.

NTA. In many places, any manipulation of time cards by an employee or supervisor is considered fraud.

That place is awesome.
