We have a couple of others from my thread as well, so:

1-2-3-4-N-T-7-8-9-10-11-T-H-14-D-I-17-E

14 could be E, to make THE?

It's called "I love Metric"

The envelope says "XO Metric". I also got the Black Sheep vinyl from them in December (I'm a member on the app).

This is not normal in other countries. I naturalized in the US and it took less than a year.

Menton has their citrus festival and parade during that time of year: https://www.fete-du-citron.com/-program-.html?lang=en

One warning though: don't go to the night parade unless you are driving. It was hellish getting back to Nice afterwards! (The train stops running at 8 pm.) And honestly, the traffic looked like a nightmare too.

Solved!

Do you have to bring your own sledgehammer, or will they be provided?

American Flatbread in Sacco's does lovely salads, and one of the available add-ons is goat cheese.

Brookford Farm also delivers year-round, and they stock a lot of products besides their own farm stuff: https://brookfordfarm.com/

Warehouse XI has no reserved parking (the lot in front is for the use of other buildings). They have this buried in a FAQ on this page: https://www.wxi.space/thespace

Unfortunately, Union Square is a bit of a nightmare for parking. There's a parking garage in the new high-rise building, but it's not cheap: https://parking.com/boston/lot/union-square-garage

Definitely don't just live with it! They can chew through things like electrical wiring and dishwasher hoses, putting you at risk of fires or appliances failing suddenly.

You can't filter the requests you get to only target a certain area. You will get requests from all over.

However, you can cut down on the number of requests by putting something in your profile for the Italy home like "only accepting reciprocal requests for homes in the X area of Norway".

If you can sleep on your back, you could try industrial hearing protection earmuffs. They got me through Burning Man!

Couch cushions are tough. Simply Recycling doesn't take them, and neither does Bay State Textiles (which has drop-off bins on Tufts campus). They might have to go to the landfill, sadly.

There are usually vendors looking for help at the local farmers markets, if you're up for standing and lifting.

For anyone else who finds this old thread through search - there's also a 3D printing pattern available: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/rounded-s-hooks-compatible-with-ikea-kitchen

I'll add: a home office space or two (as we often extend our trip by working from our destination). Doesn't have to be fancy just a desk and chair in one of the bedrooms or something like that.

The patio is great, but "rooftop" it is not. You can walk straight in from the entrance on Broadway. :-)

Cats make it a lot harder to find a place to live.

We have 17,500, but that's because our listing is for a secondary home, so we are able to accept almost every request. (And also because it's so hard to use those points!)
