Oh interesting, I was too busy with work this morning to go check my car after seeing other people post about it. I took out some trash around 12pm and it smelled SO badly of chlorine and my throat burned! I worked out shortly after and almost had an asthma attack, which makes no sense for me since mine has been pretty controlled for the past few months. I was happy to see this post since I was a little suspicious after smelling chlorine!

Koch sucks. For a stye try a bruder(sp?) eye patch. Like a beanbag filled w some magic beans or something. Amazon etc has them, follow directions, Put it in the microwave. hold to eye. Works very well. Also wash really well w Johnson baby soap a couple times a day. Source: my daughter got styes pretty bad and the above tips helped quite a bit.

Yeah right, I doubt it. There was a brown/blackish stickiness to it, not sure if it did anything to the clearcoat.

More than likely to hit ME than RI. Check out Maine’s research on it. They regularly check for some of the contaminates from the OH trains in their air quality whereas I’m unsure if we do!

I can vouch for her as well. I lost one of my last contact lenses while at work one day. Went to her to make an appointment for new ones even though I wasn't a patient, and she gave me a set for free to last me til the next time I could see her. I even offered to pay for the pair, and she refused to accept it. Super friendly, and reasonably priced as well

I can’t attach a screen shot but our air quality ~meh today and the reasoning was: PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, SO2, and CO!

The rain reside has been attributed to dust storms in Oklahoma per CT DEEP!

Okay same! Thought I was going nuts. My throat also was burning. There was a huge fire in Braintree, MA earlier this morning so it could be that—what happened in OH is more likely to hit ME than us, but I was a little suspicious!

Reply to Road Test Tips? by Working-Tomatillo995
i was barely able to function with nerves all week when i made my test but it’s so easy the course is actually pretty pathetic. it’s just a parking test. here’s a few tips:
-
practice the test as much as possible. i suggest using 3 cones and doing the maneuverability test as many times until you can do it with your eyes closed.
-
practice parallel parking. i know it sounds obvious but they’re very specific about how close you need to be to the curb (anything over a foot it too much and they’ll make you reposition yourself.
-
if you are under 18, your guardian must be in the vehicle with you during the test. if they say a word, it’s an auto-fail.
-
once you’re there, it’s go time. there’s no turning back so if you feel you aren’t ready, don’t go. however, these people want you to pass! it takes much more time to fill out a failure paper than a passing one.
-
after you pass the test, you will need your SSN, Permit, Birth Certificate, Proof of Residency and $25 for the license itself. they give you a paper copy as your physical license takes about 2-3 weeks to come in the mail. (no copies, all files and documents must be originals)
-
show up on time. i know it’s a given but today at the dmv some girl’s test was on at 9:45 AM. (my test was at 2:15) she showed up at 2:00 and expected to be able to take the test. the workers throw away your printed out appointment paper when you’re done and if you don’t show up they’ll do the same thing. they sent her home and now she has to wait an entire month to reschedule, but knowing the dmv the only available appointments open are in april, if you book now.
-
after the 50 foot backing test, you NEED to STOP at LINE 5 BEFORE PROCEEDING TO LINE 6. the instructor will emphasize this but will word it differently. for me, he said something along the lines of “proceed to line 6 obeying ALL traffic laws.” they have stop signs up everywhere so it shouldn’t be too hard to remember, but most people have failed because of it.
-
use your hazard when backing up and doing the parallel parking. use your blinkers while turning.
like i said this course is a joke. if you have a backup camera you CAN use it, just don’t stare at it the entire time. use your mirrors. i passed with an 100.
note: points are BAD. if you get 16 points, you fail. the max is 15. i had a rlly chill guy and he helped me the entire way. good luck!

I would definitely look into getting an attorney and a real estate agent to sort through everything. RI is unfortunately not a very agriculture friendly state in terms of laws

Dr. Belluci in Johnston is one of my favorite medical people, period. Just a really kind, gentle fellow. I’ve been going to him for a few years now. (My husband had a chalazion taken care of there, too but by a different doctor).

Buy more land, look into agricultural loans and tax breaks, protected land, farm, forrest, land trusts. .... Actually look into the aforementioned prior to purchasing the land. My guess is you'll need 3.5 to 5 acres or more to qualify.
