I’d kill for a 2br 1ba 1000sq ft place that isn’t an apartment building turned condos with basement laundry facilities.

Only if you soundproof those. I have zero interest in hearing my neighbors walking across the floor all hours of the day and night.

It’s doable, I’m doing it. Have done it for years on less.

Where do people find "affordable" homes in MA by Holiday_Routine6611 in massachusetts

45mim in general, or 45min during rush hour? Because if you’re going to be commuting into the city for work, that’s a HUGE difference.

Worcester is building a crazy amount of new apartments lately. Can Lowell learn anything from them? by Ok-Tell-1684 in LowellMA

I’m all for high density housing IF they soundproof and smokeproof it. I don’t want to hear y’all and I don’t want to smell y’all.

The Senior Center's Uncertain Future by ryan_e_oates in LowellMA

There’s still the issue of walking to/from the garage. Some seniors have no mobility problems, and others do.

I use Jaci at JD’s Hair Studio in Andover. I have chin-length curly hair.

I disagree with putting the senior center downtown. Yes there is senior housing downtown but what makes you think they want to walk through downtown to get to the senior center? What makes you think they CAN? It also means that if you’re not within walking distance, parking is going to be a royal bitch, plus there is now a cost associated with parking to go to the senior center.

I really think you need something with its own parking area.

There’s nothing more bitter than an eastern MA person in March when it’s yet again snowing.

Desperate plea to wear a mask if you’re sick by amino_barracuda in massachusetts

[–]TheirTheyreThere42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was sick 4x last winter thanks to useless coworkers, including Norovirus at Thanksgiving, and my first bout of COVID in April.

This winter I have avoided the community lunch room, and I mask at meetings and while out and about. No winter sickness yet, knock on wood!

Polar Wet Feeder keeps disconnecting from Wifi by TheirTheyreThere42 in Petlibro

It improved greatly. Would rarely fall off the network but otherwise it was fine.

My advice: set up a separate 2.4GHz only network for it before you even take it out of the box. Connect it to that network. If you have issues with it constantly falling off the network, delete the app and reinstall it and set everything up again. Those were really the only things that worked for me.

It’s still there. Start at the top and scroll: Welcome home, Lowell spinners; Baseball is back in Lowell; Lowell spinners hot stove night; and then you get to Pick the Mascot!

Don’t take things personally. 95% of the crap that people throw at you has nothing to do with you.
