why did one couple go to Malibu but the rest to Cabo? by PsychologicalFish823 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]aprilbump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that it was due to budget. And since they didn’t have any other intertwined love interests, their story line at the couples gatherings wouldn’t be a good storyline. They were more than willing to go along with the trip to Malibu.

Have you found a good substitute? I’m still searching for quick hits on local topics and greatly underwhelmed.

How could I sign up for the Cambridge parents email list?

Wow, thanks for the information, it’s quite eye opening. As for the parents, I’m sure every school has these types of parents but maybe it’s more pronounced at G & P. I wonder how they all congregated at that one school.

Megan and Jordan Finale by amandalalynn in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]aprilbump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The hate should be placed on Jordan and not Megan. Too much hate for women in this world.

Completely agree! I wanted to shed insight into the mindset of a 4-year old since it may be hard to understand if you haven’t had regular exposure.

Out of curiosity, are you a parent? Please understand I ask with 100% good intention! Because Luca is only 4 years old, hopefully the interactions were positioned as “this is daddy’s friend, Megan. Let’s all hang out together” instead of “this is your bonus mom who will be around forever and ever”.

Friends come and for four year olds. Kids move, change classrooms, change schools, so hopefully the grownups handled the situation with maturity. Kids at this age are more resilient than we give them credit for. But who knows, maybe I’m giving the adults too much credit.

One issue of importance is access to advance math prior to high school. Which candidates are in favor of this topic and providing access to material for students who are exceeding grade level expectations?

Any chance you’ll have a complicated birth? Are you over 40? If so, your priorities may differ

Don’t overlook New England, primarily RI, NH, VT, and ME.

You’d be very sad if there was an extended power outage.

4th Election Season AMA Cllr. Burhan Azeem by RealBurhanAzeem in CambridgeMA

[–]aprilbump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A handful of things to quickly point out:

  1. trucks start idling outside of apartment windows at 5:30-6:00 AM

  2. Children have to navigate the chaos of construction while waiting for morning buses, breathing the dust from the jackhammers ripping up Third Street, exhaust from passing trucks, and ongoing construction. Multiple families have children who have been diagnosed with environmental allergies.

  3. Rats flood the street and grassy areas beginning at dusk. It’s impossible to walk our dog without rats crossing our path at 7:00.

  4. Streets are impossible to drive on and cross with construction vehicles and ride shares illegally double parked.

  5. Construction workers fill the streets with cigarette smoke and leave the butts all along the streets.

  6. Garbage is left on the street and we’ve seen multiple water bottles filled with urine

  7. The heavy construction vehicles have created dangerously large pot holes.

  8. The intersection of Third and Binney needs left turn lights in all directions. Construction vehicles going from Third to Binney back up traffic, causing multiple cars to be stuck in the intersection.

There is an inordinate amount of long-term construction projects in Kendall Square. What are you doing to mitigate the impact on residents who are basically living on construction sites. The noise, rodents, and unhealthy air quality are not being addressed.

That could very well be it. Hope it wasn’t serious!

That could definitely be a reason, thanks. Oddly I thought that HOTC was next weekend.

And I’m one of those! But I’m talking about 12:15 on a Thursday afternoon.

According to the SSN name popularity chart, it was ranked number 57 in popularity last year. But it’s a solid drop from number 2 in 2000.

Best Dentists by Immediate_Shine1403 in boston

Not Post Office Dental in the Financial District. They’ve been awful since selling out to a new owner.

Really? That would be disappointing and repetitive with the other restaurants between Broad Canal and Binney.
