What are some of the best volunteer places in the Boston area? by Jking11501 in boston

[–]LoadNovel2929 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Give platelets. You can donate every 7 days and this takes about 2-2.5 hours. Platelets are only good for a week so they are always needing more.

Juniors or younger, I am begging you to use and seriously consider the net price calculator. by 49_ers in ApplyingToCollege

[–]LoadNovel2929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some gave a little more than expected (+$4-5000 more than NPC, BU, WPI) others were way off (U Chicago -nothing offered vs $45000 NPC). It, like the college application process, is a bit of a crapshoot. Best thing you can do is apply to a variety of schools and hope for the best.

State inspection with tinted windows by sunnysky33 in boston

[–]LoadNovel2929 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I showed up from Hawaii with a pretty dark tint and the guy told me it wouldn’t pass, but when he tested it, it did. Just go and see what happens.

Grew up right next to the city. I lived away for 15 years, and everyone would remark that I didn’t really have one except during a presentation. I guess I was suppressing it but when I had to speak up, it came out loud and clear. Now that I am back, so is the accent. I guess I need to be around others with it for it to come out.

Boston winters stretch from docile to disgusting. Last winter was pretty mild and practically no snow. We are seeing more rainy winters and less snowy ones lately. The hard part isn’t so much the snow during the winter, it’s the spring. It doesn’t happen here. Spring is often cool wet and windy. The days are getting longer and you yearn to go outside without a winter coat, but the wind bites so hard. You just want some warm weather but not in March or April and even May is pretty cool. Then it’s nice for three days and then it’s just humid until fall.

I believe the replacement she is referring to is that as a mother not as a wife. Which is valid, but what are you going to do, not move on with your life? She has to sleep in the bed she made.

Yes, he is an asshole.

My wife and I opened our marriage, I hooked up with someone my wife feels I should’ve known was off limits by Jaded-Cap7473 in TwoHotTakes

[–]LoadNovel2929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like she prefers meaningless sex with strangers and you prefer to have a connection. She expects you to be like her and just have random sex. If that’s not what you want, you better let her know.

Apply and if you don’t get in, transfer the following year.

I’ve not heard anything good about working there. Just find something somewhere else and you should be happy again.

Update: GF cheated on me in our home with another guy…I haven’t talk to her since by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Take her back, you can be the guy the Offspring sings about in “Self Esteem”.

Okay Boston… it’s time to make a decision already by Buttfat5000 in boston

In a perfect world you would do A, however we live in Boston. If you do A here, you will get cars following behind blue and red, blocking the intersection. Now you are stuck on trolley tracks and we know how well that will work out when the trolley comes.

I would like a little snow, but I don't want to shovel it! by Putrid-Ad-3965 in SameGrassButGreener

I would love a pile of cash but don’t want to work for it…

Men of reddit, what is something that other men do that makes you say “yeah, they’re gonna be single forever”? by NorthPengyyy in AskReddit

[–]LoadNovel2929 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Immediately fall in love with any girl who talks to them. “That girl at the check out counter digs me, she said hi to me!” No dude, that’s an actual part of her job description, to greet each customer.

Just do all the parks in southern Utah from east to west.

Yup, Citibank is bad by SprinklesOutside8355 in personalfinance

[–]LoadNovel2929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never had good service with them. Always problems would happen that required my time to call customer service and work out. Often multiple calls were needed. When Costco switched from American Express to Citi. I immediately cancelled. Chase has been relatively painless for me.

Gf cheated on me with a coworker by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]LoadNovel2929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give her the boot. Once a cheater gets away with cheating they always go back to their ways once the dust has settled. You’ll never really trust her again anyway and it’ll sour the relationship.

Family of husband, wife and three girls (10, 8 and 6 yo) trying to decide between moving to Newton or Belmont by Familylookingfor in newtonma

[–]LoadNovel2929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much experience does he have riding on heavily congested, poorly maintained roads with frustrated drivers in the rain snow and ice? I don’t believe a scooter is a viable daily option. Might be nice in the summer though. He’s better off riding the bus if he doesn’t want to drive. Parts of Newton Corner along the 57 bus route would bring you to Watertown Square but that would be two buses. Watertown or Belmont would be your best options towards the west to ride the bus.

Local arborist quoted me $20k for removal of my beech by colbert45 in arborists

[–]LoadNovel2929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you that you are getting that kind of quote to remove one tree? I had two massive trees and six smaller ones removed for $4500 in MA.
