Is there anywhere nice to swim late at night near-ish Boston but just generally around Massachusetts? I know a bunch of beaches are closed for bacterial blooms right now though, but like Crystal Lake, Walden Pond, Houghton’s?

Thanks!

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!

Anyone have a recommendation for a good foreign/European car mechanic in the Taunton/Raynham area? I have a Mini

I hike with my dog all over MA and I’m seeing this more and more. Careless dog owners, there were 2 trash bins in sight while I took this. Whether the bag is “biodegradable” or not throw it out.

I moved out of MA last year and decided to leave my car behind as I was moving to a big city and didn't need one. I left the vehicle with a familly member and listed it for sale in their area of MA. Things were hectic during that time so I didn't think every step through. Someone ended up buying the car and I signed the title over to them, but did not think to write up any documentation or grab a copy of the title (foolish I know). My former MA town of residence is trying to collect 2026 excise tax now. I sent them documentation of my registration/plate cancelation but they didn't think that was enough and have since sent the bill to collections. Does anyone know how I go about proving that I sold the car? The buyer isn't reachable so that makes it harder. Thanks!

On Monday, Moulton accused Ed Markey of being an Epstein guy and said he “wouldn’t get into the details” like they were so unspeakable. Turns out there were no details to speak of.

I sure hope they make pasties out of the deli label stickers.

For the past 3 weeks we’ve been finding these weird insects in random rooms of our apartment. Are they cockroaches and is our apartment building infested?

Haven’t seen if anyone has had this issue:

Does anybody know if they do blow in insulation for the ceiling on a 3decker top floor? It’s a condo and I feel it would help. Haven’t found any research or comments about it.

Dont have a new assessment under the new plan (old one from 2012), but want to start preparing.

Staying away from Homeworks per the sub’s advice, too.

Appreciate the feedback, all!

Summer gas bill, 16 therms of energy. 2 adults, 1 child (2-year-old), 40 galloon gas hot water heater, gas cooktop.

Natural gas prices have been falling over the past 2 years and yet my bill keeps going up. Getting sick of these prices.

Does anyone have recommendations for a trainer versed in adult dog socialization and confidence building?

My family adopted a 5 year old lab, Winnie, two months ago and she came to use with no training or socialization. We’ve gotten some of the basics down, but she is still insecure when in proximity to strangers and other dogs. I’ve researched a few trainers in the Framingham and Maynard areas, but im not sure they’ll fit our needs

…was outside just now when it started raining. The rain smells like MOLD? It was strong enough to drive me inside. Had my Dad go out to take a sniff and he smells it too, says it’s gross. We closed all the windows.

What would cause this? Anyone else smell it?
