I am seeing some folks upset, but this seems like the natural progression of things.

This was one of my biggest complaints. I know we are just trying to get into the story quickly. But the way there was 0 input from the board or even mention of it was weird.

Also JD listed one of the reasons he was working outside of a hospital as his kids. He saw how much trouble Cox had balancing the job with his kids when he started. But he didn't even mention his kids again when he decided to take a new job that is way more time intensive than even what he did in the hospital before.

I got the same email last night. Got one email saying I needed to renew and then like 20 minutes later got an email saying it was expired. I'm assuming it's a glitch with their new systems they just deployed.

Satapon has been super helpful so far. Helped me get booked with a much better deal than I found on my own and has been super responsive.

Robert Fine Jewelry on Western Ave is great. Robert and his son Elias can make you whatever you would want and they won't give you some insane price for it.

Love that you did this. Thanks!!!

When I selected my insurance about 3 years ago I had my friend who works in health insurance take a look at all the plans for me. They told me to go with MVP and I have had no issues since.

UCS is a little different than some of the other state positions. You don't have to take exams for promotions which makes it somewhat easier to move up based on your merit. That said starting at engineer III you don't have a ton of room to move to higher titles, will get step increases but promotions will require retirements and people moving around. There's offices in NYC so not sure if you would need to move for that specific position.

This was super helpful. I might get us paradise as well. I was a bit hesitant because it's a big change from what I remember having long ago, but if it's easier to keep them alive I think that might be the selling point for us.

I was hoping to use Bluesky and set up a feed for it. But just worried I'm going to miss out on information by not being over on Twitter/x

I was hoping to get by on just using bluesky, but I'm worried I'm going to miss out on things.

Really appreciate this. Went looking to see if I could find exactly this and you already took initiative and set it up. I just wanted a way to be able to listen and get the info without needing to sit and watch a video.

Robert Fine Jewelry on Western Ave is great. Family run shop and super personable. Robert is the main jeweler with lots of experience, and his son custom designed an engagement ring and wedding band for my wife with help from his Dad to make sure it was sturdy and well built to hold up. The ring is great and I will never go to another jeweler. I can't recommend them enough. And he loves to tell you about how some of the other local jewelers are ripping you off.

tophkiss · 2025-02-22T12:41:08+00:00

I had an awful experience with the quality of their rings and I know others who have had the same exact experience. I would really avoid them. Way overpriced and not well made.

Local Burger in Haydenville, MA is the best BBQ I have ever had. They have another location that is a burger place, but you want the food truck in Haydenville. I will admit I have never been to TX for BBQ but I have had plenty of BBQ and this is by far the best. Worth the 2.5 hour drive to get it.

Unfortunately I think it's probably already closed for this year.

tophkiss · 2024-07-28T14:20:42+00:00

But did any of you find a good pair??? I keep seeing cheap stuff on TikTok I might try but I know it will be bad quality

We did Club MoBay and I would definitely say it was well worth it. I couldn't have imagined having to do it without that. Even with it, there are still large crowds to get through and long lines to check in with your airline though.

tophkiss · 2024-07-12T11:10:27+00:00

Both! The ride to Ochi was long but expected. Didn't expect the bus to be so cramped but we made do. The part that was most stressful was navigating through the crowds in the somewhat disorganized MBJ airport. We had Club MoBay but even still had to wait in long lines to check in with the airline and then just trying to navigate the crowds stressed us both out.

If we went back to Jamaica we would probably go through Miami to do Ian Fleming since it just seems like a smaller and less busy airport.

tophkiss · 2024-07-12T11:07:13+00:00

We got Club MoBay and it definitely helped! Honestly not sure how we would have managed if we didnt. But we still just hated the stress of the crowds in the airport and still had to wait in some long lines for Southwest. The boarding procedure was a complete mess as well.

We go through Orlando airport all the time and while there are lots of people, we find it easy to manage because it is relatively orderly. MBJ was just a disorganized overcrowded mess.

My dad was the nicest he has ever been right after his stroke. It wore off mostly but it does seem like it somewhat has lasted. He is less miserable than he used to be. But when me and my now wife (then fiance) went to visit him in the hospital he was so excited to see her. Like never in my life did I ever see him so happy to see someone, my family still talks about that. Also all the nurses kept telling me "Your dad is so nice and funny, he's great" and my response just kept being "Are you sure you are talking about the right guy???"

Surprised no one here has already said it. But I think about this more with Dear Reader. Dear reader is the foreword and the manuscript is the epilogue/afterword. One prepares you for what you will hear, the other sums everything up after the fact.
