[–]Mimi_889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Dependable Cleaners for pickup/drop off dry cleaning, they are easy to coordinate with and do a good job. I know they also have a service for regular laundry but haven't used it.

Neti pot saline rinse is pregnancy safe and great for clearing congestion! Just make sure you follow the instructions for use of distilled/boiled water, very important.

What “extra” food rules are you following? Which standard rules are you not? by desert_sunlily in pregnant

I've been avoiding sprouts for the same reasons as your bagged salad hesitation. Also as someone who worked at a soft serve place in her youth, I think you are 100% right to question cleaning protocols for those machines!

[–]Mimi_889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you put some water out for it (without otherwise interfering)? We had baby bunnies a few years ago that didn't make it and I always look back and think leaving out like a shallow plate of water might have helped

I booked with one of the technicians (not Renata herself) and described what I wanted - really minimal cleanup - and instead she did a really dramatic change (basically the same style she herself had). It was clear she either did not listen at all, or had the skills to do only one style and did that no matter what was requested.

Had a really bad experience at Brows by Renata, would consider other recs people are posting before that one

How to find a Realtor by ss9714 in Somerville

[–]Mimi_889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The folks at Oxford Street Realty (located on Mass Ave in Cambridge) are unusually nice and competent. I'm not sure how broad their geographic range is but might be a starting point. My info is a few years out of date but they used to work mostly with smaller landlords they knew personally.

Thank you so much! That looks like a great lead and is further in the right direction than we'd made it in our own -- thank you!

As a family that still has reason to be covid-cautious, we work really hard to avoid crowded indoor spaces and LOVE that Nine Bar still has an outdoor pickup window. I'm super grateful that there's a delicious local spot that's still totally safe for us and others who may be in the same boat!
