I had noticed a while back that the prices in the app were sometimes higher than the ones on the board in-store.

They have also started upcharging for more total flavor shots than the 'standard amount'.

When you say forced hysterectomies, do you mean "forced hysterectomies" or do you mean "medically necessary hysterectomies, however there are uncorroborated allegations that some of them were done without proper informed consent"?

As someone who used to work for the state I can tell you that these types of orders only work for somewhat sane people. If the Ex is crazy you two are better off moving to a new place and keeping it secret from him. Too many of my cases had this type (or similar) order and it didn't stop the harassment from a crazy ex.

I can also tell you that anything to do with court or the police takes forever and is generally not very helpful.

Generally MA is pretty safe. Even the most dangerous towns here, crime is typically not random. Like, towns/cities to watch out for are downtown lowell, Chelsea, Lawrence, Lynn, certain neighborhoods in Boston and i say that with a huge reluctance, because compared to other parts of of the country, those cities have crime, but not really that bad and have really neighborhoods.

This is BB-2, a pre-dreadnought battleship built in the late 1800s.

ā€œBig Mamieā€ is BB-59, a South Dakota-class battleship that served in World War 2, and has the distinction of firing the first and last 16ā€ shells of the war.

If you get a copy of the restraining order, you can have your county sheriff serve them. You can drop it off at their office and pay the service fee so you don’t have to worry about whether the police are going to do it or not.

My experience with my restraining order is that the cops will do as little as possible (which is usually nothing) until you go down to the station with an attorney. Mine was served very quickly but they didn't take any violations seriously until my lawyer got involved.
