E Scott Originals in Somerville, https://www.escottoriginals.com/
Emily is wonderful to work with and my engagement ring is handmade and one of a kind. All of her rings are so beautiful, plus she uses recycled metals and antique re-purposed stones.

A few of the Mass Audubons are good choices for beavers. There's Stony Brook and Pleasant Valley off the top of my head.

Reply to comment by new_Australis in Pre-School teacher at a public school keeps disciplining out son for saying "oh my god" by new_Australis
Instead of saying “don’t say that” the teacher should be giving your child an alternative to say if they’re so offended by oh my god. Saying “don’t say that!” Isn’t effective unless the teacher provides a replacement behavior/phrase they’ve rather your child say!
I absolutely don’t see your child at fault and don’t find “oh my god” offensive in the slightest!’

Blue Nile has a showroom in NH which might save on some tax. They can also be ordered online.

Joy Den in Marlborough MA. I’ve had a few pieces made there and their team is fantastic.

There’s a beaver dam at the Cranberry Bogs by Gillette Stadium, behind Bass Pro.

When we used to get the globe every Sunday the local section was called metro south

Honestly this is pretty much the right answer. The real answer probably involves “Hockomock”, but for people who don’t know where Mansfield is, I generally say it’s where 495 hits 95 south of Boston.

I’ve had a CVS in the same area give me someone else’s meds. I called and told them and they didn’t care.

100% hands down. Go to Barmakian Jewelers at the Nashua location (and not just for “tax” reasons). The rings are on the second floor. If you go on a Saturday go right at open but the MOST IMPORTANT THING, ask for Sasha. He’s amazing, 30 years in the business and the floor manager (he’s there most days)
Also get lab diamonds, real ones support the awful cartel called De Beers and subjugate whole cultures. They look as good if not better and are a FRACTION of the cost.
I think a comparable lab vs natural was 3.5k vs 24k for the stone alone… (it was .75 carat)
You also get 10% off bands there too. Delivery time can vary, but budget 6-10 weeks. They custom order for best fit instead of “sizing” a display ring which weakens it

I grew up in Mansfield, lived in Wrentham and North Attleboro and always referred to it at southern MA or the Hockomock area.

Anything south of Burlington = south shore.
Interestingly, also, anything south of Burlington = not relevant.

Along the Rutland rail trail right about HERE there is a beaver lodge RIGHT next to the trail. Sometimes it comes out and stares at you f you are too close. He also does the beaver flap to threaten you.
There are also a few other ponds on this trail very close with several other beavers.

I’m homeless with an 18.50 an hour job and cannot find a room/roommate anywhere. I work in the Burlington area. I’m on the verge of quitting my job and relocating somewhere else because I can’t live my life.
I don’t bother with Facebook anymore, most of the time people are spotty with replies. Craigslist is hit or miss.

Dufresne's Park in Granby MA. You can see the saplings they cut down, the lodges they build and they keep damming the overflow outlet at the end of the pond. Also they're sorta nocturnal I think.

Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary… it’s a Mass Audubon spot in Natick. Tons of beaver activity and there’s also bathrooms so that’s good too.
