Go for the racquet sport of the moment-- give pickle ball a try.

just out of curiosity, why squash out of all the possible racket sport options?

Go ahead and complain-- but feel confident that your landlord won't take kindly to it.

In the job market, a cert from amazon is worth far less than an actual degree.

Just paint your car the same color as the ticket (make sure to match the color exactly) and you will have become invisible to meter maids. Park anywhere!

well, do what you gotta do.... I commuted from Maine to Boston for 6+ years, and all I can say is that it's like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer-- you can make it work, and there are ways to make it feel better, but it feels really awesome when you stop.
It's been 10 years now, and I still get a twitch when the prospect of a long commute comes up.

I'd suggest looking seriously at newton. Excellent schools overall, plus EDCO school for the deaf.

Take the (free) ferry to the Encore casino, wander around briefly and then return. The view from the harbor should not be missed.

Reply to comment by Maxpowr9 in Interesting piece argues that MA needs free community college by Tall_Ocelot_8749
Tuition (currently about $5.5k/year before financial aid) is only a small part of the problem. The bigger issue is that you've got to pay rent and eat while you're going to school. Room and board and such for the year is more like $20 or 30k.

Your dentist is ripping you off. I too need cleanings every 3 months, but my dentist bills the extra two at the same rate as she is reimbursed by insurance . Your dentist is charging you "list" price, the reimbursed rate is about half that.

Reply to Experiences with Astound Internet? by SideBarParty
you have to be willing to change providers every few years to avoid having them gouge you on price, but other than that we had good experience with Astound (formerly RCN).
