Reply to Who has best rotisserie chicken? by TheSchmarms
Literally just finished a BJs chicken with the family. Tasted great.
Might be I’m a weirdo, but I like to wash my hands really well and then just rip off the meat and put into a serving dish. Carving is too much work for a chicken. Ensures no waste, anyway.

If you go to the website for your insurance provider and register you will almost certainly be able to search for providers in your area, from there, a little research into some of the providers may help you find the right therapist for you.
Best of luck, but most of all, don’t give up, you may need to try more than one therapist before you find the right one.

The highway was there first. It was probably only land the town would grant to build it. It's small but it's a nice tiny park.

Hi! I'm a Social Worker. I would suggest https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/connecticut. It's pretty helpful for picking your preferences for a therapist. I truly believe therapy can be for everyone with the right therapist. I'm sure you'll find a wonderful therapist to support you. Best of luck in your search!!

While this is kind of true… the commission is still paid it just goes to Redfin rather than the realtor.
Sounds like you had a bad run of realtors :/ glad it worked out for you though in the end!

Stop and shops is the absolute worst. Last time I got it, it was so hard that it was literally crunchy on some pieces. Shop rite is better but still small for the price. I agree with your dad! BJs for sure. It is always juicy, flavorful, and so big for the price. I haven’t tried stews so let us know how it is! Can’t imagine anything from there would be bad.

One of my uncles worked for years to get the funding for that, as he was a Marine veteran of that battle. One of the bricks has his name on it.

So I went to CCSU and I never understood if they put this memorial there and then the highway came along or if they thought sticking it next to the highway was a good spot.

Telehealth, and therapists don’t prescribe drugs that’s a psychiatrist. I would check with your insurance they usually send you a list I would call and ask.
I got a therapist 3 weeks ago and I wish I did it months ago, maybe I’d be in a better situation right now if I had.

Many (if not most) therapists do Telehealth.

Forget where I saw the anecdote so I'm not able to confirm this fact, but I believe it was something like 40% of the total amount of gunpowder used by the Union army in the Civil War was produced at the Hazard Powder Mills up in Enfield.

Talk to Susan Krinkol. She doesn’t charge commission, only takes $100 cash.

My youngest brother just finished his apprenticeship loves it so far.
Your son made a good choice.

If you have good insurance they can probably tell you about a network of therapists in your area that they will cover. If you try making an appointment you might state up front you’re not looking to take drugs, and want to work with a therapist who doesn’t recommend drugs as a first line of attack.

It's gonna be hard, you may feel way worse... But don't give up and the only regret you'll have is not doing it sooner

Love that cutie. Sometimes she looks like a guy and sometimes like a gal. Whatever they are, they get an A for effort with every ad. I think they are awesome. 😎😍

With apologies to earnest art lovers, I think this is as ugly as it can be. The creators meant well, I'm sure, but what an eyesore.

Yeppers. Son is an apprentice tool-and-die maker with about 1K hours left on his apprenticeship and when he gets to journeyman status, the (eyelet) world is his oyster. Some of the eyelet manufacturers here in Watertown were giving $10K signing bonuses last year!
