Not to mention his hateful statement to the educators "You are all replaceable". This is not bargaining in good faith. He should remember that he too is replaceable.

This kind of pay for paraprofessionals is disgraceful.

Depending on the thickness of the painting and its size you may be able to buy a standard prebuilt frame and a custom mat. Or even a precut mat. The custom part gets expensive.

Framebridge also does framing by mail for pretty reasonable prices but they're not exactlycheap.

Drive your car into the harbor, it’s usually cheaper to just buy a new one when you get back.

Very interesting piece of New England history. Very good read, thank you!

Yeah well maybe he should not have been a heretic ever thought of that genius?

It would be nice if we had at least two at least functional parties in this state so we don't end up like Southern California. Hopefully the MassGop gets its act together however I am not holding my breath.

Good. Fuck them. I hope the MassGOP completely dies out.

I just can’t see going out for pizza and not taking the kids. Either way I’m not blaming him, I’m just explaining why people aren’t labeling her a horrible monster the way others get labeled. She did what you are supposed to do. Seek help. Follow the plan.

Sit in the court and be their own star witness

If you need groceries, take the kids. We have paid family leave, take it! I have 3 kids and I’m disabled and have literally faced this exact scenario where I couldn’t be left alone with my own kids because I was too sick. I wasn’t a danger in the same way I just couldn’t care for them. It’s extremely hard. But it’s not impossible. In this scenario there is no way I would have gone out for pizza like he did. And no way my husband would have. I’m not blaming him, he will live with the guilt forever- but I think this is where the empathy comes from. She was doing what we expect people to do- seek help and follow the plan. What else could she do?

$22k/yr? Sandwich artists make more. Baristas make more. Amazon drivers make more.

Are the 3-3-3 and 5-2-2 numbers asks for percent salary increases?

Robert B. Parker got his PhD at BU, then was an English professor at Northeastern, I believe until the second Spenser book was successful, then move on to just writing.

The funny part about the Spenser TV series was him finding a parking place in front of each and every Boston location he had to visit. Sometimes the writers/producers would make odd mistakes, cops searching the junkyards in Revere or something, when there are no junkyards in Revere.

Check out Goss Photo in Hanover / Norwell. His prices are so so good and his work is amazing.

Our healthcare system is breaking due to staffing shortages and that includes mental health. It's unfortunate but seeking out mental health doesn't necessarily mean you are getting all if the support needed to make a full recovery. That leaves an incredibly heavy burden on the family of the afflicted person. Life doesn't just pause until you can sort things out, chores need to be done, bills need to be paid, etc. And to top that all off your partner is unable to contribute and instead needs extra care. Caretaker fatigue is a real thing and it's not anyone's else place to cast judgement because until you've been in those shoes you can't understand how conflicting and dehumanizing it feels.

It's sad and unfortunate but this is not the first tragedy our communities have suffered due to mental health crises.

Unfortunately I do not so I can use that

random question but do you work for any of the universities in the boston area? Most have a deal with a frame company for custom framing for staff and students.

They are all open. Check next month for tickets.

If she goes to prison, it will probably be MCI Framingham or the Western Mass Women's Prison

It can be interpreted as either 1st or 2nd, as strangling usually is intended to kill

Michael's when they have a 50% off framing sale ( which is fairly often)

Call Yumont Hardware in Jamaica Plain, they can recommend some of the best painters in town, I’d ask specifically for contact info for Chris the Painter, RS Painting, and Andrew Stone Home improvement, and anybody else they recommend.

These are all excellent painters with fair prices and professionalism to match.

When you call the painters tell them Yumont sent you, I bet you’ll get a better quote.
