It is a fair price based on painting work I had to sell my place recently, if you want to take a chance and pay less you could put a call out on marketplace with the price you want to pay and see if you have any takers that might need quick cash— young people, someone just starting out as a handyman, etc. I’ve had friends do that before with some success but they’re more willing to take on risk than I am.

Yes MFA and ICA and many others like ISGM, MOS, BCM, Harvard, JFK, and many more. AFAIK, everything’s open. Perhaps March tickets are difficult because of college and private school spring break?

MFA is open but they don’t release tickets till they get closer. They don’t limit visitors so you will always be able to get tickets. Believe two special exhibitions open up in March

Both are open year round

You’re welcome. My mother brings me cans of it whenever she comes back from visiting family. Lucky for me, I can find cretons around here rather easily.

Honestly I’d look at DIYs on youtube and pop on over to AC Moore or some crafts store

Ah yes this is the one! Thanks 😁

This has happened at least one time before on the green line in my experience. It’s a daily occurrence to be on the green line, it stops and then you sit there for 20+ minutes, then they say everybody has to get off. No explanation ever. Just everybody gets off. One time it happened to be in the tunnel. It was scary. No first responders either. Everybody just got off with their phone flashlights and walked out. I can’t believe how frequently it happens.

Yeah true, but Bridgewater is when I meant by “a prison with hospital in the title.” It’s still a prison.

I know, but I think she's heading to psych hospital (Bridgewater), not prison. Although, maybe she'll go to prison afterwards.

I support free access to education, but I no longer think academia is the way to go.

I did a BA at a state school and I loved it, it made me who I am, paying my loans wasn't the worst, but ten years later I'm making 30k.

I'm taking some classes at UMASS right now to upskill and they are trash compared to free programs I've attended in similar subjects. Course materials were last updated in 2010 and are full of spelling errors. Directions are missing in course activities. Professors are checked out. Why does this cost $1000+/class?

Plus an associates doesn't get you very far in a majority of majors.

I'd be way more excited about free programs that get people into trades and apprenticeships.

Run the sidewalk on Revere beach at sunrise in the summer. Flat and beautiful.

If you're feeling adventurous and want a longer run, run from Revere Beach down to deer Island and back. It's an excellent run with some amazing views.

It’s been ripping through the schools.

Idle Hour in Quincy Center.

Bobs in Medford has the best ratio in a tiramisu I’ve ever had

Oh, really?

That is a good point. Those kids, my God.

It’s not unreasonable to ask if he tried to help her. The second part clearly shows a bias and preconceived idea of the answer, almost like asking a rhetorical question.

But again, keep pretending otherwise I guess.

I got you, I just mean that strangling 3 people seems like it would have to be pre-meditated after the 1st one was killed. This case is different, though.

What made you ignore the word "or"? Because you're just looking to trash somebody?

Bridgewater is men only.

I am just letting the person I answered know what is necessary for a first degree murder charge.

Pleading insanity isn’t a get out of jail free card. It just means you’d go to a different jail with “hospital” in the title along with all the other insane people.

It’s still jail and it’s still awful.

For their time, they actually weren't. They were much more progressive than their contemporaries in many ways. They weren't as cute and humble as the Quakers, a very small group, but compared to the Catholic or Anglican churches at the time, they were pretty chill. As Calvinists they believed in the democratization of religion and did away with the belief that you were closer to God through being born into a certain church hierarchy. As such they believed everyone should be taught to read and write so they could understand the bible, and that one was predestined for heaven so long as they led a good life. They also got rid of silly bullshit like the ornateness of the Catholic church. They believed in reinvesting money in their community rather than blowing off wealth on luxury items for personal enjoyment. These ideas arguably led to the fact America was never as hellbent on rigid class structure as Europe was in the 1600-1800s, and why many poor or middle class Americans were able to obtain an education long before this was possible in Europe. And while many of them had slaves, many of them like Judge Samuel Sewell also condemned slavery so much that it was probably some part of the reason slavery never took off in the north as much as it did in the south. Today Congregationalists and Unitarians, two of the most liberal Christian denominations in the country, are the direct descendants of the Puritan church in New England. Puritanism was more than just the Salem Witch Trials and Anne Hutchinson (which were obviously bad, but they aren't representative of the entire people in the MBC). Here's another good video from another historian on their history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Er7-VjX72w
