Yep they laid off all the gray hairs first. Saw that happen during multiple layoffs. Pretty much anyone who knew anything is gone.

I’m in a weird middle ground where I can see myself getting really, really into it but the betta I care for is in the preschool class I teach and I have no room for him at home. If I had the room and knew I would be taking him home with me this summer I would defs make the hike to Framingham, but seeing as it’s up in the air I’m not sure if it worth it.

Plus some departments are already skeleton crews at this point, idk how they’ll survive even more layoffs.

I was there last year to witness the beginning of the end. Was such a fun company to work for until you see past all the glitter they throw in your face. They’ve been using nothing but Temps for years, to the point I’ve heard they had lawsuits over it.
And having people who work there for nearly 30 years get let go less than a year before retirement is really rough. No pizza party, just grab your shit right now and get out.

Two recommendations that don't quite fit but work for me: Wright's Dairy in North Smithfield for their incredible treats; go to Narragansett and hang out by the sea wall, or go to the secret rocks to hang out by the ocean. I live far away now, but Gansett is a little paradise that always cheered me up. It's worth the drive to be able to hang out by the ocean and relax

Could go to R1 Indoor Karting close by in Lincoln?
They have go karts, axe throwing, darts, an arcade and some other things too
Afterwards head back to Smithfield to Laura's Bar and Grill or Blackies

maybe in that department that's not correct for any other department.

RI has a lot of catching up tp do. We suffered from only allowing 3 dispensaries statewide, there was effectively no competition.

What’s the story behind it? Did the family lose all six at once?

Not Smithfield but in providence there you can find Free Play Arcade and Malted Barley which has food and some bar games as well

Tropic Isle in Framingham is hands down the best aquarium shop I’ve been to in New England, very much worth the drive if you really want to get into the hobby

I’ve often wanted to work here because of the environment and thought that working with toys and creatives would be fun. I am bummed to hear that is not the reality.

I used to think this but not so much anymore. Dispensaries on the west coast are incredibly cheap with nice and knowledgeable staff. That’s because they’ve had close to 10 years to legally operate. RI and MA dispensaries are on their way and MA prices have already dropped considerably.

Reply to comment by Suitable-Share4733 in Is the Service Dept any better at Tasca Ford than Flood Ford? by degggendorf
Well yes, for now - there are a few warranty/recall issues Ford needs to deal with. Certainly after the warranty is up, I'll start doing my own work on it.

I am not sure if you are required to get your car serviced by Ford or not? If not, the last couple of years my family has started going to the mechanics shop on Park Ave - the one right in front of Cranston High School East. They are fast/all mechanics highly certified and they generally repair our cars under their estimate. We had brakes replaced, leak repaired, and intensive diagnostics done on our Corolla this month and they managed to do all and get parts ordered and placed in less than two weeks. Cannot recommend them enough, they really know their shit. We have used them for our Subaru, Suzuki, Corolla, and Sonata in the past.

I mean as a China and the endless possibilities and ways to provide connections from producers to consumers with the all mighty internet... this shouldn't be surprising really

Yep, Senator Gordon Rogers already went to Foster because he is trying to get the rural towns to hire a lobbyist to fight back… meanwhile when I canvass out here a lot of people are frustrated they can’t have ADU’s.
sigh

I went to do so but I’m fairly stupid at Reddit and can’t figure it out. I have some questions about fish-in cycling (as I didn’t know about cycling was a thing). Would you mind DMing so we can talk after I finish work?

Ocean state aquatics has a few locations and great staff. That being said feel free to message me any questions, I've got two decades of fish keeping, a few years of finfish aquaculture and a marine biology degree, so I should be able to answer most questions.

Is this a different angle or did the rectangular stone monument behind the graves sink into the ground?
