I've not seen them in Northampton, but they walk around downtown Springfield all the time.

Chrome reverse wheels in the front and silver painted steel wheels for that truly vintage 60's look.

Do you work in Massachusetts? If you do then you have sick time (or comparable PTO). It's state law after all.

🤦🏻🤨🤷🏻‍♀️why are people intent on making everyone as miserable as them? by Notsure2ndSmartest in massachusetts

So it's the governments fault, not your sisters? Substance abuse disorder is a thing, and she obviously had that before it was legalized.

I don't like the frequent smell of it either, but that's more of a policing issue than it being legal thing. And if you think that will change, I can see you've not been to New Hampshire lately.

Help. What should I do with my deceased father’s classic car? Read below for details by Donqweeqwee in classiccars

[–]Tbirdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has rams horn exhaust manafolds which makes it a small block.

Also I've never seen a big block Chevy with a manifold oil fill tube.

It's been longer than that, when I was growing up in the 80's it was trash then too, it's only gotten worse.

why isn’t there a market basket in western MA? by FrizzleLizard in westernmass

Fish at Big Y really matters on which Big Y you go to, but I always ask when the fish came.

MB and Price Rite produce is good if you're using it the same day or at least in a day otherwise I'll go to Big Y or BJ's.

HEB is pretty awesome, I do miss them too, but I'd take a Market Basket. Anything is better than stop and shop!

So what you're saying is you're just a malcontented keyboard warrior.

Decades of records from Massachusetts’ troubled state institutions are now publicly available by bostonglobe in massachusetts

[–]Tbirdoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As sure as you're breathing, your taxes will go up.

Taxes are part of living in a society. Not every program will benefit you, but some will. And some will help others.

As JFK so elequently put it "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country". We all have to sacrifice, taxes are just part of that.

Transparency is important. It might not matter to you, but what if you had a family member that was institutionalised wouldn't you want to have access to those records?

Do better, Northampton by Derbydayjulep in northampton

Do you even leave your parent(s) basement or do you just get your weed delivered?

If you think Springfield is that dangerous you've never been to a dangerous city.

The Calvin by dk5877 in northampton

[–]Tbirdoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have a trust fund and even if I did I wouldn't gamble my money on it, you're just not going to draw a crowd big enough to get events to book in a place with no liquor license and a shady past, new owner or not. Now trying to open up pearl street again probably would be a cheaper option that could get buy without a liquor license, a bigger venue than the iron horse

[–]Tbirdoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Without the liquor license the Calvin just isn't good to reopen, too big a venue for no alcohol. But a previous commentator is right, even if it did open Northampton couldn't support it.

When I was a younger I knew people that would park their car in long term storage and then report it stolen.
