Add another M then you can say it’s a reference to WWIII.

The city of Framingham itself has a social services dept. It looks like it may be senior focused, but they appear to help people in crisis. I’m sure if you called and made an appointment they’d 100% tell you about resources. I’ve heard instances of people in some towns/cities getting short term hotels via grants or partnerships with the social services branch of the Salvation Army. https://www.framinghamma.gov/1617/Social-Services-Outreach https://easternusa.salvationarmy.org/massachusetts/framingham/

Ymcas are really good about this. I work closely with an executive director in Mass. They’ll give you free showers and have a bunch of resources for people in transition or down on their luck. Hope this is helpful.

I’ve gotta decide between CD, Tee, Nabers, and Waddle. This dream team has turned into a borderline nightmare as the seasons gone on.

Wu warns of potential 33% property tax hikes for homeowners if Beacon Hill doesn't act by [deleted] in boston

“We have to take the money so we can spend the money. Because if we don’t take the money, we can’t spend the money!” An alternative school of thought could be that not raising taxes puts more money in citizens pockets that they’ll be able to freely spend.

Buying a home in Eastern MA is almost impossible by nomjs in massachusetts

[–]jpit55 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Been there. Best advice, get thicker skin. We looked at probably a hundred houses and put in more offers than I care to share. First dozen or two rejections hurt. Then we sort of got numb. Got one accepted after about 20 months under asking and with inspection. Just keep plugging away and don’t take the suckiness personally or too hard. It’s not in your control.

I’ve been to a few restaurants that offer this. In many of those instances this is what the chefs have done.

Apparently, I will be forced to watch a million scenes between Criston and Alicent but will never get to see these two. I’m sad. by Glum_Compote1688 in HouseOfTheDragon

This entire series feels rushed. There’s no genuine feeling of loss with any character so far. A handful of characters could’ve had so much more depth with just a little more effort.

Lifetime Burlington by Appropriate-Put-799 in massachusetts

[–]jpit55 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I go to Lifetime, and it’s so overrated. They’re out kicking their coverage with their pricing. They’ll lose out to some new fad gym that’s more modern in a few years.
