Bingo, if you look on the right hand side of the hole you can see it’s very straight except for the top.

@bosscrabmeat you hit the nail on the head. I fully understand it’s not 1900 religion and old school dominated society anymore, but without family there really isn’t much of a worthwhile society to any extent in my opinion. If the structure we set for our kids schooling makes them available sat/sun for family time, then family should be able to be there during that time. And if an employer requires otherwise, there really is no adequate compensation however extra $ or time off for vacations would be a bare bones starting point offer.

Reply to comment by jp_jellyroll in Where to rent between Norwood and Marlborough? by Lithium0725
Framingham is much nicer than it used to be, lots of brand new rentals within walking distance of public transport and parks- I just wouldn’t live in the downtown area. Some nice older apartments on route 9.
Lived in Natick for over 25yrs until I had to move because I couldn’t afford it. Lots of nice places in the Natick area as well, but you will end up paying for it wherever you live.

Then EVERYTHING can close on Sunday. Because at a minimum wage job, it WOULDN'T be the rookie working for $30 , it would end that availability for less senior employee's

Maine pegged minimum wage to inflation. They went from $12.75 to $13.80 this year, for example. Automatically by existing law.
Maine also has a minimum salary of $41,401. For otherwise salary-eligible workers.

Yeah, when moderators start making me feel uncomfortable about their actions, I just unsub. It's a lot easier than dealing with it.

After moving out of MA I was always surprised we didn’t get time and a half on Sundays. I’d het weird looks from my bosses when I brought it up.
