Funny how we all become accountants spending our priceless opinions while the house of cards is trembling inevitably collapse once the wrong joker of a President wants to watch the world burn.

Without reading the analytical financial piece if an individual HAS made and met the threshold of a “Killing” that individual thus moving forward if Mets threshold again an increase tax should take effect to empower the Community, Country, Countrymen. United. National. Tribe. It shall be called C.U.N.T.

It would be challenging to obtain, maintain, and cause pain. On occasion you will feel burned. A scratch to itch. Whatever it may be remember to keep it clean and keep it safe.

I grew up in Madison (graduated 2013) and had a friend group in Guilford, here's my honest assessment.

Madison is overall a better school system and might bode better with in state colleges. Madison oozes athletics and sports, is a bit richer and preppier. Vineyard Vines people.

Guilford seemed a bit more arts focused, almost more hipstery. There's a bunch of recording studios in Guilford, not so much in Madison. Still a similar type of person I'd reckon, but less stuck up.

At the end of the day either are more similar than different, Guilford being a bit cheaper from a real estate perspective. I can't say I enjoyed growing up there though.

The cops usually sit and wait for them to kill someone then they supervise the underpaid EMTS cleaning the gore

I'm gonna be real with you. Unfortunately I have no advice, but am here to say I hear ya! It is NOT you. Also in NH county and 0 friends. My wife grew up here so at least she has a couple from school.

Even my friends from college got either narcissistic or cheated on their tests in the same class as me and bragged about their test scores. While they arent as successful on life now as me, it still sucks because it's not like I had friends to spare. Here is a somewhat negative way to look at it:

  • I feel like most people are about themselves. I take pride in being empathic and caring about others, but it usually leads to backstabbing me. This is probably just a me thing.

  • It can be daunting as a parent to find time for friends, even if I really wanted friends. I'd be afraid of letting someone down of they wanted to go to the mall or something and I kept saying no.

Sadly, what ends up happening is I surrounded myself with "fake friends" at work... And eventually that made it harder as a manager in the past.

I was hoping when the kids got older I'd find some friend's parents that played video games like I did or something...but mostly it seems they are into sports and Im not. It's funny, the first 2 parents I actually can hold a conversation with are two moms of my son's friend. I didn't expect that, but they are both pretty cool peeps!

I also noticed CT tends to be a bit older than I am. A lot of retired people that I wouldnt connect with.

This probsbly just makes me an introvert. But I'm sure it'll get better. Seems like you are more than willing to put in the effort. I've probably just been burned too many times. That, and people are just wierd. Some dude at the Milford mall last week taunted me and my son and made us flee our table. 5 mins later the guy EATS OUR FOOD with my FORK! There's one less friendly candidate there! Lol best of luck to you!

I have a pickup so my opinion is a bit biased, but when backing into a spot you have clear lines of sight on the road in front and behind you, as well as pedestrians who might be walking along parked cars. All you really need to worry about is where your back bumper is in relation to the cars you’re parking between, the rest you’ll see in your peripheral vision. When backing out of a spot you’ve taken too much time getting into your car so you don’t know where traffic/pedestrians are coming from and can’t see them until the rear 1/4-1/3 of your car is already backed into the road/lot
