Not for minimum wage, when they can make a day's pay, in five minutes; this is what happens, when a Civilization is falling apart.

Finding a therapist can be a challenging process, one that can take up to several months. Unfortunately, in my experience, lists of therapists from insurance companies or psychology today aren’t kept up to date and are full of people no longer practicing, deceased, or not taking new clients. I am not saying this to deter you, as getting a therapist is an incredibly brave and wise decision. But it’s important to understand at the start of your search that our state’s mental health services are very overwhelmed right now, and you should not give up if you don’t find someone right away as it’s not personal, as everyone is going through a challenging time right now.
With that in mind, in addition to reaching out to your insurance provider and various websites, it would be helpful to also reach out to your primary care physician to ask for a referral. Also, contact your town’s social services office and make a appointment and ask them for referrals. I got a great therapist from a referral from my town’s social services department. You can call 211 and ask them for a referral. You can also just go to your community mental health provider and set up an intake appointment and let the intake person know that you are in need of a therapist. CMHC is the community mental health provider for the New Haven region. Finally, if you are ever in a crisis, you can dial 988 for immediate help.

Car insurance is a cluster fuck. Wicked unprofessional industry. It’s a complete pain in the ass to figure out what’s going on sometimes

Given the prices I've seen offered, per pound, for catalytic converters, on scrap metal price sites ($180/lb.), I'm not surprised.

Believe it or not, it's actually juuuust across the town line in Newington. A long time ago a bunch of people vandalized it, so veterans took up a 24-hour watch to guard it.

I would just say, while I admire that you would like to avoid using medication, please don’t refuse it if suggested or directed by a MD or clinical psychologist. It may actually be a very good thing.

Costco chickens are cheap, yes but really low on taste and seasoning. The best chickens come from Peruvian Restaurants (“pollos a La brasa”) and Boston Market is pretty damned good.

You won’t need a receipt for the car taxes, any of the tax software will just have you enter the amount paid. You should be able to see that on the Danbury website.

Checked the Danbury site and it does indeed show my previous taxes for my car (along with the old one I had prior to my current one). Looks like they were all paid as expected though, filtering it all out also says nothing is due, so I guess that can be scratched off the list of possibilities 😄
And I changed my address, and registration for newtown on July-august I believe, license was changed November for newtown as well pretty sure. Was there anything else I was supposed to change as far as address? When should I expect the bill to be sent out?
And thank you for the link! I’ll check that out as well when I get the chance :)

Years ago I climbed to the top of Iwo Jima. It was a very somber time. Tons and tons of dog tags were left on memorials up there.

You make it sound easy! Someone should do it and report back.
It’s hard to get easier than picking up hot at the store but love the recipe.

Yeah I put my name in all caps (it was what the example name was shown, so I did it that way) and it didn’t really show anything for newtown. I’ll try using lowercase to see if that’s any different, doubtful but worth a try lol. Where would I get the motor vehicle tax receipt? Is that something on the site? Or do I get that by other means?

I did, and in no way did it say or imply I haven’t paid taxes in 3 years. I said I’m 22, and moved to newtown after that 22nd birthday (which is in late March) before that I was in Danbury and the taxes were always handled and paid for by my father, the Danbury tax site literally proves this, I’m looking at it right now and it shows all of them were paid, nothing due for either town.
I’d suggest you reread it, because it seems like you’re the only one here that doesn’t understand whatsoever
