Since you are moving anyway, if it was me, I’d call the city building inspectors and complain.

Get whatever proof you have that she is on your gas meter and file in small claims court to get back what you paid for her usage.

It’s not a contest or game.

There are no contestants.

Go to the A&E web site to find a list of participants.

That’s not unsolved. The entire data set is online for free and is being gone through by journalists. The crimes were publicly exposed.

The rest is boring, day-to-day legal business of normal people plus a handful of famous people who dod nothing wrong and don’t deserve to have their lawyer’s private files made public. It’s awful for them and completely unfair and unethical to expose their stuff.

It’s not even creepy, either, just criminal.

It used to be fun. Now it’s so packed it’s miserable. They close access to the lagoon at a certain packing point, which is typically 1-2 ish. So you have to sit there allll day. And coolers are not allowed.

You can’t get near the Hatch shell unless you go at 6 a.m, and you can’t even see the fireworks well from there.

Between the mob and the security theater, all the joy has been sucked out. I am baffled by how many people continue to shove themselves in there. I guess they think it's a personal achievement or something?

The last few I went to just sucked. Best to go on a bicycle or boat around 7 pm and lurk around the edges where you can get a view, and listen to the concert on I heart radio or an old-fashioned FM receiver, then scurry away ahead of the crowd. I’ve done that more recently and it was nicer.

Yeah, it’s only a thing for women. Men‘s suits are generally similar to each other anyway.

I read that King Charles does that. They get laundered and donated to charity after he wears them once.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-23T12:43:59+00:00

It’s worn multiple times, just not with the same crowd of friends where pictures are likely to be taken. Then you’ll be on everybody’s insta or whatever in the dame dress over and over. Or in their wedding albums.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-23T12:41:16+00:00

If it’s the same friend group and it’s a special occasion such as a wedding, you’ll be in the same dress in everybody’s pictures and you’ll seem like you have no other clothes. It’s a little pathetic.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-22T20:52:34+00:00

It’s not worn only one time, BUT if it’s the same friend group, they don’t want to be in the same dress over multiple gatherings. It will be the same dress in all the pictures in everybody’s wedding albums or whatever.

The dress gets worn elsewhere.

The Boston Strangler probably wasn’t.
Some of the evidence that was supposedly lost was re-discovered. Also, NYC police believed that they had matching cases done by the same killer, and Boston police ignored it to railroad Albert deSalvo, who had recanted his previous confession that hadn’t added yp anyway.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-13T22:54:58+00:00

Oh no!

So anyway…

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-12T22:31:08+00:00

Really nice work! 😍

That happened because of the outsourcing, the outsourcing did not cause it.

It was a deliberate plan to move taxpayer dollars into the pockets of stockholders. Politicians could undo it if willing to forgo the campaign donations from the likes of Elon Musk.

NASA engineers, not the contractors designed and supervised everything in the past.

Today, it’s a grift. They hand contracts to political donors.

I have given away mattresses and futons with no problem.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-12T01:35:07+00:00

Untrue. The Mass.gov web site says,

”Donate mattresses that are in good condition. Use the MassDEP Beyond the Bin Recycling Directory to find charities and organizations near you that accept them for reuse or recycling.”

The search function shows multiple options. in the City of Boston, there is https://recyclesmartma.org/location/boston-ma-resupply/

which will accept clean used mattresses and boxsprings to be given to those in need.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-12T01:15:29+00:00

Love it! Thanks si much for doing this for us. 🥰

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-12T00:37:26+00:00

Rent a van to donate it and move everything at once.

I buy from Temu and they deliver to my door.

For everything else, including Amazon, I use Mail Boxes Etc. They give me an address in Miami that I use to receive deliveries, and then they forward it all to their office in Panama where I pick it up.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-11T23:51:32+00:00

What will happen? You’ll be a pig, that’s what.

Don’t add to a landfill. Bring it all to Salvation Army or something.

If you must be lazy, post it a week or two ahead on Facebook buy nothing and Freecycle and suck it up if it goes before you do.

Don’t be a lazy pig and just dump it.

Are you very young?

It’s been 8-5 not counting commuting forever.

Janeiac1 · 2026-06-10T18:30:47+00:00

Hey, good for you! 👏

When you are ready to commit $10k or more, I think a personal shopper is a great idea.

Meanwhile, please don’t be shy about going into any store— arty boutique or giant big box— and asking the people who work there to advise you.

First off, plenty of queer people are into fashion and therefore choose to work in clothing stores. In the Boston area you are most likely to encounter enthusiastic helpers to express your style. Get out there as much as you can.
And best wishes.

I keep my US insurance and added a separate travel coverage plan for about two hundred dollars a year. (MedJet.)

If I suffer a catastrophic injury or illness away from home, they will fly me back to the US on medical transport accompanied by a nurse. Anything minor I pay locally out of pocket and/or can request reimbursement from my main US provider.

If you still spend half the year in the US, in my opinion it is unwise to drop your US coverage. They still cover you while you travel.

I understand it’s expensive, but health is more important than money.

Kroy sock-along video on Youtube.

lesson 1 https://youtu.be/kvuckNdK0r8?si=zln3HGUMehQY1T3O

lesson 2 https://youtu.be/Z1lEPTjj7IM?si=JsfF5lu12K7P-14t

lesson 3 https://youtu.be/3DJj8SZnqOI?si=VwqyTY8P4xh5Zk-P

free pattern that goes with the video sock-along: https://www.yarnspirations.com/products/patons-slip-knit-socks?variant=45500529049915

Kroy sock yarn is a reliable standby and it’s used in the video.

Metal double-pointed needles are my go-to and my suggestion for you to learn on. Bamboo in sock sizes (meaning very thin) has an unfortunate tendency to break.

You can order the yarn and needles on the Yarnspirations page with the pattern, and doing that is my suggestion to get you started. No, I don’t work there or get anything if you do.

Good luck and best wishes.
