Lion's Creek. We worked with Gary; he was great, super responsive to all questions. Fast, thorough work too!

Lolwut. That was pretty recent, right? I remember that dude, that sucks that it wasnt legit. 😟l

It's not you. I'm early 40s married female who has lived here (New Haven area) all of her life except college, and I have no area friends. I did but...when your life experiences bring you down different roads, they don't want to hang out anymore (big one was them having kids, us not). We got a dog about a year ago but she is so shy around other dogs LOL so there went the "meet people via dog" idea! Work is hard bc I'm a manager...

We live in a town with few transplants (what someone else said on this post is correct lol, totally obvious here!), so it's hard when everyone on your street already has their group from freaking kindergarten...

We do the church thing but everyone our age has taken a hiatus due to covid and not wanting to expose their kids. Or hardly come bc of the kids. Or don't come to social things bc of their kids. Other people are OLD and have cliques (ridiculous at church)...or I worry that I'm not holy enough lol. I like all sorts of random shit/pop culture and feel like I'm going to stick out.

As I've told my therapist, I guess I'll wait to meet friends when I retire. Hopefully it'll be easier to try new things since I'll have more time and can meet people that way.

But I get where you're coming from, and it's hard to keep looking for people when you're doing a lot of work already. I admire your positivity!!

Edit: typos

Edit2: clarification

Lololololololol lived in the area my whole life (I'm early 40s) and never heard that before.

Oh, like any of them. That's what they're there for, basically the only place you can hang out without having to buy anything or being looked at weird for being there.

Lol not anymore! They will jump you.

Public library. Some even have study rooms if you need a little more quiet for a few hours or need to take a call.

You can't get to atrium or any of the cafs @ ynhh/src just to use the wifi. You have to have a reason to get in or else security will turn you away.

Source: lived at both hospitals all summer and fall while my husband was inpatient (yup at both places 🙃)

No real concrete advice but I think it's worth calling, if you can spare that time on the phone (yay being on hold!).

Otherwise you might be wasting a trip once you arrive here in CT and just show up at the office. (We've all shown up somewhere only to be told "you need an appointment" or "do you have X with you?" And X is at home on the counter...)

Good luck!

LOL nope and I was wondering why there was a new thread about him after so many years. I don't even think he lives in CT anymore...
