Reply to Adult hockey in or near New London County? by 412gage
There are some adult local leagues. Used to work in Groton and had multiple co-workers playing. This was a few years ago, but unlikely to stop.
Plenty of subbase peeps originate from hockey country like the Midwest and Great Lake states or even upstate NY and Maine.

Got a boat? Seldon's Island in Old Lyme has primitive camping spots. Beautiful island

Isn't that perhaps dangerous? Your telling people your house is currently unarmed bit that in the future it would be a great place to steel a gun from and as neighbors it would be easy to learn your schedule. They also wouldn't look out of place in the general area around your house/property.

Barbri or Kaplan will get you across the line.

You do not need to go to DMV. The website states that your title is good as is. Grats on the pay off.

Reply to Is a 78,000$ salary, before taxes, enough to live comfortably with my non-working wife in Storrs CT? by siditumart
I don't agree with the comment to avoid Vernon- it's a nice easy commute to UConn and has way more amenities than the rural towns immediately outside of Storrs, and lots of rental options. We rented for six years at the Santini Villa apartments. They're not fancy but are comfortable, well-managed, reasonably priced (or at least they were at the time) and worked perfectly for a childless couple on a budget. They also have tons of outside lighting, I never worried about crime when living there.

For me, today's snow was a surprise. I'm waiting for Monday which seems to be promising less and less with each day.

I was going to make the same suggestion with Willington or Ashford. I was able to find a cheap apartment in Willington when I was a graduate student at Uconn, granted that was several years ago now. They're rural towns yes but they're beautiful, and both short drives to UConn. Willington has the interstate cut right through it so it's still relatively quick to get to places.

You can do it, provided that bills aren't too high. But I promise one thing: you will really enjoy the word FREE and shop with coupons.

Not true. The Board of Ed budget and Town budget are seperate.

Not sure if CT ever passed a law against "passing the trash", but as recently as 2016 the state had not.
Basically districts could have allegations of sexual assault or misconduct by a teacher or other educator or school staff and just allow them to resign, meaning they could be hired by another district.

Unfortunately, I believe the current Superintendent of Schools is running the district into the ground. The schools are currently under a strict budget freeze, quality employees that aren't covered by the union are being walked out, senior teachers are not being paid their worth and new hires are underpaid leading to the cream of the crop seeking employment elsewhere. The Super made sure to get his 5% raise though and will be making over $230K by next year.

I recently paid of a car loan as well. I received a letter from the loaner releasing the lien and received my title a week to 10 days later.

It's worth noting that the loss of the library is in part due to the town voting to rebuild a brand new, bigger library, so it will get better.
