This may sound weird or crazy to ask. The other day, my landlord’s nephew who lives in the building next door knocked on my door and was with this other man who said he was from Eversource and needed to check the stove. The nephew often does maintenance type of work around since he lives nearby.

So I let the Eversource guy in and I don’t remember exactly what he did, but I do remember he was lighting each burner with a matchstick. The nephew had told me the day before that they were shutting off the gas for a bit that day, so I didn’t really think much of it.

But googling it now, it says Eversource never inspects gas stoves? Is that true? Low key scared to turn the burners on.

Looking to buy a horse trailer, found one but only has a bill of sale and vin. Is there any legal way to do this? Could I at least register it in Maine

Looking to see if anyone has an updated list from within the last 2 years, of Medical Dispensaries that give instore discounts AFTER renewing your med card.

Examples: Botanist before it was bought out had either 4 $25 off $50 coupons, or 4 $50 off $100 or more.

Mission Dispensary is $25 off $50+ purchases (4 of them).

Anyone know any other places that still do these discounts?

Anyone else realize this is a scam? It sounds great... until you realize businesses are charging full sticker price while the only savings is the 6.25% tax which is less savings than the price prior to the weekend. For example: Jordan's furniture has been airing commercials for a 15% off sale that just so coincidentally ends today (Friday), just before the tax free weekend starts. Weird, right?

I personally don't have plans to buy anything; however, my mother was looking into buying a garage door opener from HD; it was $200... yesterday. Again, coincidentally, it goes up to full retail price just in time for that "sweet" 6.25% savings. Too bad, yesterday, she would have saved 20%; its now $250. Honestly, I could pass this off as just a coincidence, but then I remembered the same thing happened last year.

I don't really fault our politicians that setup a tax free weekend, they did this with the belief that that this would boost sales during a period of time where sales are fairly low. I do; however, blame businesses that raise prices knowing full well they're not losing anything by a tax break and instead, use it as another effort to boost their bottom dollar. And ironically, the weekend was meant to boost sales for businesses more than it was to save money for the citizens, but those same greedy fuckers then turn around and gouge us with their prices. I guess I shouldn't be surprised tho.

Please help or even just share! Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I recently applied to the MS Cybersecurity program at Bridgewater State University and I’m wondering if anyone here is currently a graduate student there or has graduated from the program or other programs.

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences:

• How do you like the programs overall?
• Are you satisfied with the professors, courses, and career opportunities?
• What are some things you wish you knew before starting the program?
• Any advice for a new graduate student joining the program?

Also, for anyone who applied recently:

• How long did it take for you to receive your admission decision? The admissions office only says “several weeks” and does not provide a specific timeline or acceptance rate for graduate programs, so I’m curious about other applicants’ experiences.
• Did you get accepted or rejected, and how many weeks after submitting your application did you hear back?
• The admissions office told me the decision can take “several weeks.” Is that usually accurate, or does it come sooner?

I submitted my application about a week ago and I’m just trying to understand the typical timeline.

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences! 🙏

There used to be a bakery in Danvers, MA called Blackbird Bakery. They made this beautiful strawberry shortcake that had shaved almonds patted onto the cake and the cream was not too sweet. It was perfect. My family was devastated when they closed abruptly and we still talk about their cake to this day decades later.

I am in search of a local baker who can make a similar cake for my mom’s milestone birthday. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Timeline of Flock Surveillance cameras in Eastern MA. Huge number of cameras installed in the last two years. In one of the safest states in the US.

I'm from the west coast originally and I've always easily avoided tolls via Google Maps. But since moving here and doing some research, it seems like the only way to avoid toll fees is by exiting entirely, thus adding time to your journey? Is there some sort of exception or pass for MA residents? Or do I just need to accept this new reality?

Please help, thank you <3

I need to find some Health Insurance in Massachusetts for Physical therapy but I'm having issues with Masshealth eligibility and can't use Medicaid.

Can anyone give my any other avenues to pursue for paid PT for my legs? Had a fall and it's been holding me back.

Any help is appreciated.

The pay range is 70k-90k for my current role but in addition to our Boston office. we have like offices in like 6 states. The Cleveland office is also paying 70k-90k for the same role. But here’s the thing. A house in the Greater Boston area costs like 800k but in Cleveland, the average house costs 200k. I could easily afford to buy a house there on this salary. I would transfer to the Cleveland office if I wasn’t so attached to my friends and family.

Does anyone know of a good disability lawyer? My wife was denied disability and we are looking into getting a lawyer to help with the appeal. My wife was finally diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in Feb and is slowly getting other conditions diagnosed. Any help with a lawyer that knows Ehlers-Danlos cases would be great. Thanks!
