That's the new game with utilities. Over Inflate and settle back significantly higher than if you tried to bump the rate up, then it won't "feel" as bad for people. It's win/win for them.

Ok! My apologies. The "Yay" before it was throwing me off. It's the interwebs...So easy to take things out of context. Sorry about that.

Not sure if that's sarcastic, but I do really wish you the best. I guess because I am "older" and going back, it was a big fear of mine, and wanted you to know that school through "our" eyes is a much better experience.

I am currently working on my masters at 43. I have not been in school since 2004.... Older and wiser is a big help. You will find it easier than you expect due to your maturity level. Happy for you!

Reply to Are Rhode Islanders entitled? by Loveroffinerthings
There is NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, more difficult to deal with than a Rhode Island native with a sense of entitlement.
That said, I still find the majority to be good. I love it here.

Reply to Best Chinese takeout?? by AbaigealWright14
For American Chinese, within 10 miles of Kings Garden you aren't going to find better.
But if you want to change it up and go Thai, around the corner on park across from where Benny's use to be is Thai Orchid. Best Thai until you hit Boston or New York.
Edit: Crap. Forgot about lemongrass at the end of Elmwood in Warwick. Not too much further than Kings Garden and they are really, really good.

Yes, but they still do it. I couldn't imagine missing a Christmas with my kids. I am always appreciative of those who do because they have chosen to serve in one form or another. In these situations, utility crews are just as important as any other emergency response, especially when it's going to drop to 15 deg after the storm passes.

All good, I thought it was funny. I started at my screen for a min....Reflected a bit and said "Welp, this is a learning lesson..." Tough being human most days.

Ha! You are 100% right. I appreciate the call out.
It's a journey. I don't get too upset about it because I cannot control it, but it is frustrating to see people getting hammered for a basic need unnecessarily. It's ok to have emotions as a stoic, we just need to tame them properly.

I wonder what would happen if everyone just stopped paying their energy bill at the same time?
Tired of this monopoly. I get there is solar, and 3rd party services, however it is still a monopoly if no COMPETITIVE offering can be made, and that is where it is at.

When my kids were younger I would take them to all seasons in cape cod for an overnight trip on the cheap. They have a lovely pool, and a cracker-barrel on site. Swimming in winter is fun.
