…and another ex marine who later went on to become some sort of Dean of Discipline there. Violence/physical intervention was never more than a moment away with that one.

I went there in the 80’s and 90’s. There was active abuse during my entire four years. Occasionally I get a letter from some sort of law office disclosing more/owning up to some of what went on.
There are many skeletons in their history. I don’t know what they are like today.
> No priests live on campus.
Fascinating. During my time there, I’m not sure about priests….but there were many brothers (monks?) of the Xaverian order living in a building connected to the school. There was a small chapel there too. There were many more living there than who taught. Do they no longer live on prem?

I got my tree from Dresser tree farm in Holden. Pretty good selection. Small, family place. $60 for any tree you want. They had a good selection of long needles, short needles, etc.
I usually go to Maple Hill in Leicester but for some reason they were closed this year. That place is probably the best one I've been to - it goes on forever.

Driven through Breezewood PA countless times lol. Worcester kind of reminds me of a western PA town, just in terms of the tight packed building on ridiculous slopes/hills

Reply to comment by NativeMasshole in Paving Private Streets In Worcester May Get Easier Under New Law by albalfa
There’s always a buyout option, but someone (read: property owners on the street) has to pay to get the road up to city street standards. Almost no one ever does it because that’s expensive (and in the case of dead end streets, those near the entrance don’t want to foot the bill for the benefit of those at the end of the street).

> There’s even LGBTQ clubs
Fuck man, years ago I fought tooth and nail for the creation of one of those clubs.
Also then having clubs doesn’t do your argument any justice lol. Like they don’t equate.

Then after he dies, law enforcement will get involved and come forth with the crimes they committed like with what happened to the one out in Springfield recently. Richard Lavigne.

Assuming you mean christmas tree farms, there's Deer Run Farm in Princeton and there's also Mason Farm in Rutland. Bit late in the year, so the options may be slim.

This is what I thought about first. It's a group literally known to be operating a world-wide pedophile ring and coverup - one that has repeatedly been shown for decades now... And they're busy protesting story book time readings because the people reading it are queer or like to wear dresses. Where the fuck are the Proud Boy dickheads now?

I’ve been part of many healthcare negotiations and what happens pretty much is the companies become total AH and make you renegotiate everything and waste time instead corporate acts like a bunch of teenagers who ignore you

What is the Cardinal going to do when even the Pope signs off on covering up pedophilia?

Most of the people I know in the area who are comfortable work in:
IT
Government - state or federal pays better than city
Nursing
Teaching
Trades
Other professional positions (attorney, doctor, small business owners)

This shit needs to stop like 50 years ago! People need to call the Cardinal in Boston. Plus I still have not heard a apology from the Diocese!

Yeah but if you look at average pay, the floor employees are making around 20hr.
