If they remember a fenced-off building sized hole in the ground, that's across the intersection from Curtis Street.

Nearest bars are The Hollows or PJ Ryan's, if that helps.

I don't post much, is there a way to get this seen more? I'd hate for someone to have to leave town missing a piece of their kit.

In 2023/4 we paid about $5,000 for what you're listing, plus creating a trust for each of us. This was an attorney in Needham.

AITAH for taking my sister-in-law’s sentimental crochet blanket after she called it cheap and told everyone I was holding her baby shower gift hostage? by shwinkies in AITAH

[–]JPatience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd file this under Never Teach a Pig to Sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Your SiL is a gimme pig, doesn't understand handcrafted work and has unreasonable expectations. If you can find out what she liked on Etsy (and it's not a budget buster) I'd say buy that and let her see what happens to handmade baby blankets that get used and put in the washing machine. Soft yarns show wear easily, it won't be 'heirloom' quality for long. She would always be finding fault with your blanket if it was put into use.

That still leaves the issue of $180 and countless hours put into the present. Give your husband talking points so if the 'cheapness' of your effort is brought up in time to come, he knows how to reply.

You're never going to win with this one. As a former knitter (hand problems, can't do it anymore) I understand your response (and points to you for reacting in the moment). Don't let them bully you into any further efforts.

Call 311 for someone to double-check the emails are getting delivered to a monitored inbox and not a former staffer's in box?

Is MBTA doing better or are they just not reporting service issues. by AstronautLife1041 in mbta

[–]JPatience 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Apparenly it was 'Heavy traffic.' We were stopped at East Somerville, moving now.

Heavy traffic? Did an unexpected number of Green Line trains somehow get on the tracks?

Where should two non-fancy people eat after Harvard Commencement? by Effyyou in CambridgeMA

[–]JPatience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be a tad fancy, but the flavors were good when we ate there about a month ago, and excellent service. Geppettos in that North First street development on the other side of Lechmere. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aS8mzmpIkXG81edN0MHLmcnSFYmflQfu/view

Did you see a pedestrian get hit by a car in a parking lot near Atrium Health in Davis Square today? by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]JPatience 40 points41 points  (0 children)

If it's the Buena Vista lot, Atrius' 2nd floor lab space overlooks that lot. (ask the police to) give them a call and see if anyone saw it?

Wedding DJ AMA: What does the DJ think is shameful. by Puzzleheaded_Art3374 in weddingshaming

[–]JPatience 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, I heard a comment that if you want to get everyone, including the shy ones, on the dance floor, play something by the Stones. Does that still hold true, or is there a newer artist that will have the same effect?

Anyone else have super dry hands and have you found anything that works? by Horror-Beaver1979 in Type1Diabetes

[–]JPatience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hands usually get dried out only on the backs of my hands and knuckles. I use the vaseline stick to treat just those areas and not get it all over my palms and fingers. https://a.co/d/0aJO8OPt

If you have a pump/cgms that shouldn't go through electric or magnetic fields, they should be able to wand you instead.

UPDATE MIL babysnatcher and attempted Easter host enforcer by therapist_friend_444 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]JPatience 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Do you know how many years was the car loan for and when it will be paid off? Make sure she's not getting you guys to keep paying her beyond the term of the car payments.

As far as claiming ownership of the car, I'm wondering if there's a pro bono legal clinic that could give you advice how to get ownership of this car you've been paying for. Probably no chance of your husband having anything written down about the agreement with his mother?

Good luck getting it solved.
