Just dissolve the party and let it be a grassroots scene. If Y’all-Qaeda wants to put someone up for election, they’re gonna have to do it without any political organization.
Fuck em.

Idk what they expected. The people of MA have made clear that if they’re going to elect a Republican it’s going to be a Mike Soter or a Charlie baker and they said nah let’s get the trumper in. That shits not gonna fly in New England and especially not in MA. Maybe NH

As much as I prefer a gas stove you might be huffing to much of it if you've skipped 15 properties based solely on that reason.

They had one of the most liked governors in the country and tried to pass the torch to Diehl, which was like when NBC tried to spin off Friends into Joey.
Except Matt LeBlanc would probably have been a better governor.

They heat up faster and they don't retain heat when you turn them off. Don't think those are big enough reasons to dictate where I want to live though.

I've heard from several people who are otherwise unconnected (ie: didn't dine at the same place or live in the same household) who've been hit in the last two weeks.
One of them was told that, because they had a fever, it wasn't food poisoning but likely a GI virus, FWIW.

Reply to comment by TomBradyBurnerAcct in Quebecoise/Montreal poutine in Boston? by goldeneye0
From my experiences - Canadians tends to prefer fast food style (like Chez Ashton or Harvey's) whereas in the States, poutine leans gastropub style (like your Frite Alors or Poutine Centrale).
I prefer the gastropub style, so Saus hits my sweet spot. Like, I also enjoy the stuff you find in a gas-station Dairy Queen or something - but it's a different class.
While I'm not Canadian, I grew up in Upstate NY and spent a lot of long weekends in Quebec. I still make a pilgrimage to Au Pied de Cochon like ever other year.

just went through it in my house in the southern part of the area… very unpleasant but it only went on for a day or two.
Edit to add… stay hydrated.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of their own actions.

Reply to comment by Physicccc in Looking for a good neighborhood to live in near-ish to Boston College (early 20s woman) by Physicccc
I lived in Cleveland Circle for about 5 years. It’s a perfect option for your situation IMO. Easy to get to campus, plenty of food and a bar or two. Direct access to Back Bay and downtown via the C line (and B or D depending on where you live precisely).
I wouldn’t bring a car unless you’ll need it for off campus work or something. The snow isn’t that big of a deal but parking is a nightmare. I had a car the whole time I lived in the neighborhood and it was hit while parked 5 different times. Just a total pain in the ass.
Some other options for you would make more sense with a car (Newton, Chestnut Hill, etc).

Unless the room has a mini-bar, 18 is pretty standard as your legally an adult. I don’t think you’d have an issue as long as you have a credit card.

Reply to Where does everyone park when flying out of Logan that’s not Central Parking?? by Fearless_Mine9185
Logan Express (I take it out of Peabody, but there's other options depending on where you're coming from, like Woburn and Framingham I think) or parking at the Wonderland garage and taking the blue line the rest of the way.

Carla was in Winthrop or Revere I think, but she probably bounced around apartments for a while before finding her house on the flight path maybe Somerville in the 70s/80s.
Norm was an accountant, decent job, bar was near work not home, he’s taking the train out to Arlington/Melrose.
Sam lived in Back Bay, walk to work, walk to Fenway, lots of places nearby to meet women.
Woody was definitely a Somerville/Cambridge guy.
Diane’s in Harvard Square for sure
Frasier is in Beacon Hill
Cliff and Coach are both along the Red Line between Broadway and Savin Hill.

I'm not sure that the extra time to get initial heat matters overall. The time difference thing matters for quick cooking stuff, but if you're doing something like boiling a pot of water, cooking chicken in a frying pan, or something like that? The more efficient option is electric by a wide margin.
