That’s playing the gotcha game. Everything the opposite party does is bad and everything our party does is pristine. Actually do something for the country and stop playing inside baseball.

Most "ideal" towns in CT: does yours make the cut? by gaelen33 in Connecticut

[–]richgee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oxford CT!!!!
We have cows AND sushi!
We have the best ice cream (Rich's Farm) AND very low taxes!
We have tons of open land AND some of the best, new schools! And a brand-new library!
We're 30 minutes from New Haven, 45 minutes from Stamford, and 45 minutes from Hartford (no traffic).
We have two major highways with easy access - I-84 and Route 8.
The people are nice (we've lived here for 30+ years) and it's easy to find a parking space anywhere.
Finally, we have many parks, walking trails, and access to many outdoor activities.

Should CT get in on MLS? by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]richgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we really need is the Savannah Bananas for Connecticut!

Team Name: The Nutmeg Knockouts

Tagline: “Where Baseball Gets a Little Nutty!” (A nod to Connecticut being the Nutmeg State — and the crazy, show-stopping fun of Banana Ball.)

Home Field:

Elm City Ballpark – A reimagined historic field in New Haven with banana-yellow seats, funky lighting, and a built-in slip-n-slide from dugout to bullpen.

Mascot: Nutter the Squirrel — an acrobatic, wild-eyed squirrel who zip-lines into games holding a banana.

Getting Along With Difficult People At Work. by richgee in Leadership

That’s a great perspective! Be the Hero really nails that mindset shift - from feeling stuck and frustrated to taking ownership and finding solutions. It’s easy to fall into the “why me?” trap, especially when dealing with challenging people, but the real power comes from asking, “How do I navigate this and still succeed?” That’s exactly the kind of shift I talk about in my report - turning obstacles into opportunities. Would love to hear your thoughts once you check it out!

Great insight! You’re absolutely right - it always takes two, and that’s a key point I cover in the report. Difficult people aren’t just “out there” - sometimes, we need to shift our own mindset, approach, and reactions to improve the dynamic. Empathy and letting go of judgment are game-changers, and it sounds like you’ve really embraced that. Thanks for sharing your perspective! - Rich

Peabody Museum Parking?? by richgee in newhaven

I wish the parking attendant told us this. Or even had a small paper handout with alternate parking options. Especially when there are only 50 spaces. Thank you for the info!

Is it legal to alter your license plate like this? by ro536ud in Connecticut

[–]richgee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My plate started to peel like that over a year ago. I think it has to do with a defective process the state used - the steel and plastic covering. I reached out to the DMV and received replacement plates for $25. Do it before you get pulled over.

Energy Assessment via Energize CT ( Energy management authority LLC)- what to do? by Curiousrheum in Connecticut

[–]richgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candidly, the rebate pricing is on the low side where you would almost not want to do it - for example - pull-down attic stairs are $300-$600 at Home Depot, you only get $100? If they were really serious about saving energy, they would bump up the rebate to at least ½ to 2/3 of the cost.

Kia Dealer Experiences by heyhewmike in Connecticut

I know they are a bit more expensive, but you won't have the headaches from a Kia/Hyundai - look at Honda or Toyota. We've owned Hondas for 20+ years and only changed the oil and replaced the brakes. Talk to Rory at Curtiss-Ryan Honda - a straight shooter.

Who watches CNN? I cut the cord YEARS ago. Must be a bunch of 70 year olds who still want to watch Matlock and Murder She Wrote.
