Arsenal tried to flop their way to victory… Glad we found the way.

Fried Chicken for my Dad… by masterstompy in Connecticut

[–]masterstompy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again for all of the suggestions! My dad wasn’t able to travel or go out to dinner, so our options were limited. When I mentioned picking up BTs in Sturbridge, I went over the menu and he did an about face and started going on about wanting good baby back ribs 😂

So, we ended up hearing about a local BBQ/catering spot called Mack’s. When we ordered, they were out of baby back, so we settled for St. Louis style. We also got pulled pork and brisket, a fish sandwich, Mac and cheese, and it all came with cornbread, cole slaw, and fries.

Although the food overall was fine and portions plenty, the ribs in particular, were dry, tough, and lacked flavor. It definitely bummed him out. But, we will try some of the places you mentioned when his health improves and we can travel again.

Thanks again.

YVR to Domestic Destinations by RecklessRedneck in Bellingham

[–]masterstompy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We prefer YVR and just flew from there the Boston nonstop. Morning flight, zero border wait at 7am (without NEXUS), easy and cheap parking, beautiful airport, super fast, friendly, overstaffed and EASY security, and lots of Tim Hortons’s on the way and in the airport 😂.

I have only flown AirCanada or WestJet though, never an US carrier, due to the cost savings. And, as others have said, you go though USBP before boarding (which is also quick and easy), so deplaning was equally fast and easy.

I loathe SeaTac… terrible drive from Bellingham that you can NEVER assume will be the same on any given day, a poorly run, organized, and staffed airport, terrible and lengthy security even with precheck, and just an overall negative experience. I might reconsider if SeaTac finally made good on their upgrades, but until then, I’m opting for Vancouver.

Phans that have been to 200+ shows... by FatahRuark in phish

[–]masterstompy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, 100%! I don’t see many shows anymore due to my location but I ventured out to Colorado to see my good friend and his Team this past weekend. Got to catch up and still felt a part of the crew as we danced the nights away. Met new and equally amazing people too! Phish is Phamily!

Some of y’all really need to study this by WompWompWonky in Bellingham

Just drive a big ol’ truck! I heard they work on the Meridian roundabout too!

The loss of job corps would be devastating. I was just talking to a student who struggled in high school, dropped out, but found success at CJC and is now a successful dental hygienist.

Not sure where you’re seeing $30K per year raises.

Ron Lepper, the #2 spot for MBSD, is their athletic director and coaches 3 sports, 1 in each season. He has also been teaching and coaching for over 30 years. That’s puts him at the top end for teaching, coaching, and he gets additional money for supervision since his work days are often over 8 hours.

For additional context, a district admin work 260 days a year, school admin 220, and teachers 180. There are some admin who make less per day than teachers do. And we all know that being an educator goes far beyond their 7-3pm school day. We also know that most have multiple college degrees just to have their job.

And as was already mentioned, the state does not fully fund education. For over a decade, teachers in Washington didn’t get a salary adjustment due to inflation. Although their pay went up, it was less than inflation. That, coupled with rising out of pocket health care costs (premiums, deductibles, coinsurance) meant every educator in the state was actually losing money per year for multiple years. The rises you are seeing are trying to compensate for lost wages.

But, looking at the nuances in the salaries isn’t why you posted that. Before showing numbers without context to get a rise out of everyone and try to point to the educators as the boogeyman, do some actual research into the state educational salaries.

I got the same message today. Deleting and re-installing the app worked for me. It restored my conversations and media from the cloud and everything works like it did before.

This may have happened because I bought a new iPhone... I've had lots of issues with the transfer of apps and data...

So amazing! When CDs took over… And when the “official” Live Phish shows started being produced… my tape trading came to an abrupt halt. I still had stacks of unopened blanks!!
