snap traps and poison

Have you engaged an exterminator?

Over the years, I’ve repeatedly done @all@ the do-it-yourself over-the-counter remedies. Snap traps, poisons, plugging entry points, water buckets for drowning, glue boards, cats, obnoxious odors which supposedly deter them, costly electronic frequency devices to scare the mice away, etc. Have spent multiple hundreds of dollars in the attempt in any one season on my own and still failed to solve it.

Or, simply call the exterminator (we use ProTech) and for a couple hundred bucks they came and properly applied human-safe pet-safe baited traps. In a couple heavy years their first visit did NOT completely solve the issue but it didn’t matter since they come back free of charge until it’s taken care of. They know @where@ to place the traps and poisons as opposed to my inefficient approach. They examine exterior of house to locate the real entry points and then they fill it with silicon/etc

A while ago I signed up to have the city call/text notifications. It’s great. I get all trash delay reminders, parking ban notices, etc. it’s also for larger emergencies too. You can sign up on the Worcester gov website.

This is Worcester in Winter. They're going to find where it's warm. They can get in a place through the smallest cracks and holes. Apartments and multi-deckers will likely be rife with them. Not gonna lie, my last flat was the Happy Hunting Grounds for our semi-feral cat.

Thanks all

You’re trashed

Place is great. Kenny and Jo, the owners are awesome people.

Always shitty to see trash collectors not honoring MLK day, considering what he was doing when he was gunned down.

Ah, I always felt bad when I saw a new neighbor's trash out the day after a smaller holiday and I didn't warn them.

My therapist told me that my intermittent chest pain was anxiety as well, I was heavily into rock climbing and body building as well. It was like a sharp sudden pain right over my heart on my left pec, so it was quite concerning. Had a stress test done and a 24 hour ekg, they told me that cardiowise i was in excellent shape.

If you drink a lot that can seriously exacerbate the anxiety as well, coffee too. I cut down on both and the pains almost never happen anymore.

You may not have a pcp but you can start making appointments easily enough? Just make sure the doctor accepts your insurance. Start googling and calling around. I just got a new pcp at the sterling branch of st vs

The dry diced chicken with chili peppers...

You must try the dry diced chicken with chili peppers.

This stuff is not ordinary chinese food.

I'm going to work remotely and make this place my office.

This is stupid good. I always said yong shing is my favorite, ever since high school, but wan wang, man.

Youre welcome i love u

FYI for future reference a list of holidays that do and do not delay trash

There's a rental shed, which was actually prominently featured in a recent movie.

There are rentals!

Yes I am a weigh lifter and very physically healthy. Age 25. I have anxiety and my life coach has always told me the intermittent chest pain was anxiety. I recently switched to a licensed therapist and she said it’s not safe to just assume chest tightness is anxiety and she wants me to get checked out but I don’t have a pcp.

They're not a really good dispensary. They promised about a year ago to be putting out real, regeneratively grown cannabis but they just used some BioBizz nonsense and produce mids like most other dispensaries. I really hope they improve though because they're not a giant MSO.

I'm in the Fitchburg area Facebook group and the mayor gets constantly ripped on. Honestly the entertainment value is worth being a member.

The mayor has been present for any new business that opened but I think only a handful have survived so far. There is a new bookstore coming to the downtown that I hope does well but we'll see.

Another dispensary, which according to some of the local's, are the "only" things keeping the city going. And our shitty asshole of a mayor showed up for his moment on camera!

What a load of crap

If you’re into waterfowl check out the new wooden boardwalk at Coes Reservoir. There’s one section of deck (towards the tiny parking lot at the end of Circuit Ave North) that was designed specifically for bird photographers.there’s a set of angled slats designed as a more artistic bird blind, so said the construction worker). (it’s that bit on the right of this photo). I’ve also seen the occasional eagle that roosts around there.

They build up a lot of static electricity and you'll get a nasty zap

Volturno is good and they do BOGO pizzas on Mondays.

Why?

Can you send me the discord? I’m moving to the area in like a month and a half and would love to get involved with the local D&D scene
