Hmm if only there was a way to show them how wrong this is … like a protest or a strike or … maybe a 3 month boycott of paying our eversource bill??

Any chance Paul’s pizza in Vernon was your family’s? That was always my favorite Greek pizza place growing up.

I planned on the trees (each tree cost between $1200-1500 and i took down 6), but yeah the appliances were not. What really sucked was the dishwasher shit the bed the first week I was in the house, my wife then got in a car accident 2 days after totaling her car. But you have to think about WHEN something is going to need to be replaced, not IF.
Point is, shit breaks/needs to be maintained and you need to be prepared. For example, the air filters for my central air/Heat get replaced every 4 months and a box of 3 is $80. You're going to need lawn equipment/snow removal equipment, etc and they all need maintenance. And if you think "I'll just pay someone to do it" call around and get prices, you may shit your pants. Learn how to maintain your own stuff.
Another example, When my central air went down, it was a simple capacitor. Just the service fee was $150, the part and install was about another $250. In the middle of summer, that's a big deal

I feel like they're daring us to French Revolution at this point.

Growing up in the 80s it was all Greek pie. It’s a CT & Western Mass thing. It’s my total comfort food.

Nice dude! My buddy’s family has a couple places in MA. Last call on the Cape is wicked early so we used to go back to the pizza place and drink more beers and make sandwiches. It’s pretty great having buddies like you!

Detroit's Greektown had this when I was there a few years back

Nope. I would say that “Boston style” pizza is actually Greek pizza - little bit of a thicker crust, heavy on the sauce. My favorite is the Steve’s Special from Steve’s on Main St in Falmouth MA

He shot a person who was illegally carrying after this person point a pistol at him. Timing and context is everything. That’s called self defense. We’ve all seen the videos and the trial. Gaige admitted to committing 3 felonies.
If Gaige had killed Kyle, how do you think that would look to your point?
It would be another criminal committing murder wouldn’t it?
Was Kyle a tool? Yes. A punk? Also yes. Should he have been there? Absolutely not. But don’t ignore the fact that Gaige was illegally carrying a pistol either. Laws are laws!
I know it’s a lot but the last 30 seconds of this will clear things up

Papa Z's is the place across from the large Plaza, and Maria's is up the hill on the other side of the gas sstation. I've been pretty happy with the places in Moodus.
