This is by far the best breakfast I've ever had, repeatedly - at the Farmer's Daughter (I go to the location in Sudbury). I just went there for my birthday this last weekend (and splurged and got myself the lobster benedict) and it was absolutely delightful.

Always fight it - it's more than just $105. It's going to bump your insurance premiums up for years which will cost a lot more. It's better to try and fight it and lose rather than not at all.

Honestly it wasn't that hard to get. Just bring the extra crap when you have to renew your license once and then you're done with it.

As others have said though - if you have your passport you don't really need it unless you want to take a plane domestically and not bring your passport in the future.

I think reading, in general, is one of my personal strong suites. So it's helped my education and career. A good foundation in reading has set me up for success in many ways.

I go through ebbs and flows of reading though. I'll read non-stop for a few months and then won't read at all for a few. Balancing it is tough as I get older (in my 30's).

EDIT: I work as a technical support engineer so reading and understanding tickets/questions is an essential part of my job as well.

This actually done on the payment processor level. A lot of times if you use a card and enter an email address for one location if another merchant also uses that payment processor, if you use the same card, they will have the email address tied to it.

Currently this is legal everywhere.

Source: I work in e-commerce, specifically dealing with support on payments, and this is a topic myself and the team has gone over a bit.

I believe it's illegal currently in Europe and California to automatically be opted in to marketing subscriptions - so if you did really want to push for it you could figure out the Cali law and see if we could get something passed like that here. California has pretty decent consumer protection stuff on the books even though I think they go a bit overboard sometimes.

Xfinity Mobile uses Verizon towers at a MUCH less cost. Only kicker is that you need to have internet with Xfinity.

For the record I had Verizon years ago. Switched to Cricket (which uses AT&T towers). I then switched to Xfinity Mobile and I've been quite happy with it since.

I get it from time to time at restaurants around the area. My go-to to check for things like this, and I know it comes with a grain of salt as they do paid promotion, is Phantom Gourmet reviews though.

This spot in Wilmington looks like they make a good one:

I haven't tried it though. I do like Lui Lui's (up in Nashua NH) if you're ever in that area for Italian for one I know off the top of my head.
