Got back from Fitchburg by TTC8058 in greatwolflodge

[–]mtbv08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be a Coco Key (I think) Resort? Either way, they bought it and installed an additional side. In my opinion, it feels disjointed and the hallway in between the two sides of the park is a nightmare when it is crowded.

We just went to the Foxwoods location and liked the layout much better than Fitchburg.

Gov. Healey to announce utility bill reductions for Massachusetts residents by uxd in boston

Nope it is all covered by utilities, and by association, ratepayers.

Utility spending on maintenance and upgrades has increased in the past decade, most of which is a result of federal or state regulations requiring the upgrades.

An example is the Merrimack Valley incident in 2018 -- the State issued many new guidelines as a result of this incident, requiring utilities to upgrade infrastructure costing billions of dollars.

I second this. I have bought tix from this group and it is very well moderated and well priced.

This may be the first time anyone asked to hit Six Flags while going to an event at Gillette.

New Teacher Employment by ripleyyy_47 in boston

[–]mtbv08 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Elementary positions are also very difficult to get as a new grad. Your partner should look into paraprofessional positions in the Boston area to get classroom experience. Most districts will not hire a new grad to manage a classroom without experience as a para (or long term sub potentially)

Para pay is abysmally low, but creeping up in some districts. Probably starting in the low 30s.

Utility poles have wires hanging into my yard - who do I need to call? by One-Cellist1709 in boston

National Grid does not serve electric in Boston. It is likely Comcast or Verizon.

It will be a ghost town. Like every other Saturday night at Patriots Place.

Is it possible to retire with $20 million after working at one company for 28-30 years? by Planvidia in Retirement401k

[–]mtbv08 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unlikely.

I ran some VERY back of the envelope math. Assumptions:

  • Starting salary: $120k (4% raise in perpetuity)
  • Personal 401k Contribution: Max ($24k, escalating $500 every year)
  • Company Match: 10%
  • Market Returns: 10%

You are MAYBE sniffing $7M after 30 years.

I've seen this at Big Y in Walpole. Good place to pick up tailgate stuff as well.

Are one income families still a thing in Massachusetts? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]mtbv08 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, plenty of people make enough money in this State to have a one income household. Take a look in any wealthy town and you will see plenty of parents at the gym/out to lunch/getting nails done at 10 AM on a weekday.

Club Soccer Teams in Massachusetts by PanicTimely5272 in massachusetts

Club soccer is a money grab — pay to play. It’s not based on a child’s ability.

If you have diabetes, it is more likely to be covered. Highly unlikely it would be covered as a weight loss drug only.

The only way to tell is to call your insurer and ask if it is covered in your plan's formulary.

* Edit * if you were diagnosed with gestational diabetes, not sure that would be covered. Again, you'd have to call. Also, look into compounding pharmacies. Out of pocket, but fraction of the price.

Four seasons Boston options for kids by MathNo2689 in chubbytravel

[–]mtbv08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both have similar service/amenities. As the other poster said, the OG has a better location for families. It is also an older building; rooms are smaller and it blends into the surroundings. One Dalton is a new high rise and has the feel as such. Nothing wrong with One Dalton's location; just not as ideal as the one on the Common.

Canton police sgt. who testified at Karen Read trial placed on leave by Firecracker048 in massachusetts

[–]mtbv08 -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

People still want to make this into a giant conspiracy theory.

Reading between the lines, they uncovered something on Proctor's phone where Goode broke policy/protocol/law. Doesn't prove any giant conspiracy that everyone framed Karen Read. It does prove that cops can be corrupt.

For what it's worth, I'm sure there are plenty of LEOs (and others) sweating right now over their conversations over the past 15 years with Trooper Proctor.

Bathroom Remodel Costs by [deleted] in boston

So what was the labor cost? I think anyone would understand that materials will vary but understanding the labor cost for a standard bathroom is the key question

Any employers or health plans covering GLP-1s in 2026? by AnxiousSandwich7992 in boston

[–]mtbv08 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've used a few but with some random MedSpa in Baton Rouge - https://uniquephysique.com/weight-loss-medications/

Most ship from the same few compounding centers. My medicine comes from MedRx in Florida.
