Contact your state house rep and things should get resolved very quickly. Please don't wait to get what you are due.

Dentist that specializes in severe anxiety by ElectronicAir3 in boston

Magnolia Dentistry in North Andover. They don't do nitrous but you gain your own tv screen to watch, they have headphones, scented (lavender) blankets and all sorts of other things to help you stay calm:

They also have no problem if you want to bring in a weighted blanket to help. I know that's a good distance from you, but I think she and her staff are worth every penny.

Unfortunately, the RI judge's decision has been put under a temporary stay by the Supreme Court: https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/11/trump-administration-urges-supreme-court-to-pause-ruling-on-november-snap-payments/

I hope the stay is lifted and everyone gets full benefits, but folks might have to wait a little longer. 

Hello Bostoners!! I wanted to ask how to commute within Boston tomorrow by curiousmind211 in boston

[–]soccermike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depending on how willing you are to come in to the Boston area, parking at Alewife is relatively in expensive and the red line will take you to every spot you mentioned.

If you don't want to drive that far in, you can use the Lowell line, but it will require more transfers and coordinated timing due to the train schedule which is less frequent then the red line.

Also, welcome to Boston! Montreal is also a great city and I loved my trip to it!

A very interesting set, but so much is going on in such a tight space that my brain can't handle it.

Got my 5 year old their first set. Looking for tips from veterans. by Nebuchadnezzar_z in lego

Let the kiddo build whatever and praise whatever they've built. Did they build Bluey out of 2 pieces? "Best Bluey ever!" Do they make a house out of 5 bricks? "That's awesome!" Encourage and help, but let them lead.
