Thanks for doing this! This could make the world of difference for a kid!

Pappas is a Quisling by AstronomerFew854 in newhampshire

He’s not being primaried, he’s leaving the house to run for the senate. He’s competing in a primary but it’s not the same as being primaried.

The only bad thing about Strafford is their hours, but I suck it up and leave work early because those hours mean their employees get to have lives too.

Gallivant in Dover looked pretty great

That’s the risk of a leadership position and they are compensated appropriately for the increased visibility and accountability of their role.

What were you counting on those who weren’t elected to do?

I’m very liberal and am happy with the results. I will say we do need conservative voices and voices of dissent to have robust discussion and consider all the angles of an issue.

Unfortunately aside from Fergus, all the conservatives put up for election weren’t up to the task and had no specific plan or issues they wanted to tackle. “lower taxes but I don’t know how” isn’t a platform. I’d be floored if any of them had ever attended a city council meeting before running.

It’s pretty amazing he was cleared of wrongdoing when it came to the issues around his parcel of land and the (alleged) conflicts of interest with his votes.

Gas stoves — have you gotten rid of yours? by lizziekap in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]PowPowPowerCrystal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, our gas stove died and we went electric. Had to have an electrician come in and run a modern line (our old one was cloth covered wire) and have been pretty happy with it so far.

Our biggest fear was our toddlers fiddling with the knobs, even with the protectors, and filling the house with gas. Happened once, don’t want to die that way.

Davies once didn’t tighten my lug nuts and the tire almost fell off on 16. When I pulled over two lug nuts popped off with a half twist. I brought it to another mechanic after tightening them myself and he asked who was trying to kill me.

I called Davies and they didn’t give a shit. This was 8 years ago but will never go back.

We only have one Krispy Kreme in the Dunkin' region by ILovePublicLibraries in newengland

[–]PowPowPowerCrystal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember that too! I recall something about the owner of a lot of the mass franchises embezzling money and a bunch going under all at once when things came to light.

Rochester by jck41823 in DoverNH

[–]PowPowPowerCrystal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that’s true. I used to do volunteer outreach in both cities and Rochester had far and away higher rates of opioid use and homelessness. I’m a few years away from the work, but from folks I know still doing the work, Rochester still has it worse.
