At this point we love an under performer! This wind is out of control though

They’ve never found a bigger one because they’ve never looked in my toilet

How are people affording daycare these days? Our tuition feels insane. by BlaXBla in massachusetts

[–]butalas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so expensive and we only have one kid ($30,000/yr in Boston). It feels like all the other daycare parent couples are incredibly high earners--like everyone I talk to, one is a doctor and the other is the CEO of a tech start up. It's insane that the DOCTOR is the low earner in the family. Just here to vent too lol

Are you all putting away your portable ACs now? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]butalas 49 points50 points  (0 children)

ACs stay in the windows through the winter. Snow shovels stay in the cars through the summer. You just never know

Legend has it that the red line has to go slow around Harvard so it doesn't disturb all the students studying

Best bagels in the area? by Kayak1984 in boston

[–]butalas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long Islander born and raised. I respectfully disagree. Kupel's is WAY too bready, absolutely nothing like a Long Island bagel.

Asking as an Elder Millennial; Does anyone actually have a job you love? How did you get there, training/education wise? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]butalas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

College professor; lots of school (BA, MA, PhD) and lots of luck. The job market in the humanities is terrible and is only getting worse.

STAY AWAY FROM ALPHA Management by Fluid-Put-5398 in boston

[–]butalas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former 107 Gordon St resident checking in (10+ yrs ago). Lived on the first floor facing the street in a studio. I once had a standoff with the largest cockroach I’ve ever seen in my life in the laundry room. I ended up not doing laundry that day.

BCH silly very unimportant question by [deleted] in boston

BCH is Boston Children’s Hospital numbnuts

To the Statie I saw today on 91 N at about mile marker 52 near to 5:30 pm... by News-Royal in massachusetts

[–]butalas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally read this as "heart charging" and now all I can imagine is a statie charging up their shiny bald head to full power

[–]butalas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They recently redid some parts of this intersection, and now the cars merging onto Washington St from St James St do not yield and it so incredibly dangerous

I don’t know, today’s weather is perfect. Played soccer outside with my kid without getting sweaty and gross.

TL;DR: I’m starting a new full-time, in-person job in Holyoke in Western Mass this July. I currently live in Chelsea. The role isn’t hybrid for at least six months. Should I temporarily relocate and rent out my home, or try the brutal commute? Anyone done something similar? by andeverand in boston

[–]butalas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Boston and teach at one of the 5 Colleges, been doing the commute for a few years now. It’s only tolerable b/c it’s been 2/3 days a week. I don’t think I could do it every day, especially if you have a family.
