“Man I was drivin on 91, spun out 10 times, accidentally spun into a hookers couch, got the herp, probs gave it to my wife.”

Roads are fine and well prepped. Chill.

Called about fox. They tend to wander so it’s not exactly surprising they said “let us know when they flop over”.

Also you need to understand foxes tend to look thin AF and not like what you see in Disney films.

>the little guy

I've done work on the multi-families over in The Annex. I'm telling you right now that they are not ALL owned by the little guy.

It was open as of last summer and is in its usual winter slumber. I haven't been in years but last I heard it's still a blast in the summer.

Anywhere in Fairfield County. They're all bangers outside of the cities.

Here's what you need to understand, especially with schools: a school system may be ranked #40 in CT, but CT schools are really, really good. The gap between a #1 ranked school and a #25 in CT is tiny.

So, what it's going to boil down to, is if you want a rural feel or you want a more urban/suburb-ish feel. Do you want to be 10 minutes away from everything or is 20-30 OK?

The one thing I will advise is don't be within 2-3 blocks of the shoreline. During hurricanes and strong tropical storms water tends to stack up in Long Island Sound and the majority of it gets pushed down that way. Leads to a lot of surface street flooding and damaging waves.

Depends on how long an acceptable train ride is. If you don't want it to be too long then you cannot go wrong with a lot of places in Fairfield County (avoid Stamford, Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Stratford). Thing is your $700,000 isn't going to go too far. If you're OK with a longer commute then anywhere from Guilford through Old Saybrook are good options (minus Clinton and Westbrook). You'll get much more for your money in those towns and the schools are still good. Downside is you're driving to New Haven to get Metro North, taking Shoreline East to get to NH for the same, or grabbing Amtrak from Old Saybrook with no switch overs.

>even now on the eastern portion past Old Saybrook

I miss when Sound View in Old Lyme was good. 20+ years ago it was a great place for teens to go and be somewhat lawless (without damaging property) and the one state cop existed just made sure no one got murdered and to break up the periodic fight. Now you have to pay for parking in a lot of spots and god help you if you're a group of teenagers out after 7:00.

I mean, you just elaborated why it's nice. Small beaches bring small crowds and lower wave activity means less erosion of what beaches to exist. It also lends itself to salt marshes and tidal rivers, which are great for those who like to watch wildlife.

People settled on the shoreline in CT (and continue buying summer homes here) because they DON'T want the Jersey shore.

I love it. I’ll meal plan a few things, but the flexibility of “I’m in the mood for curry tonight” or “I want grilled chicken on a salad” is really really nice. I keep a stock of frozen foods like meatballs and chicken nuggets or easy boxed stuff for nights the kids have activities and I don’t have the time, but for the most part I like cooking fresh.

locked in for 3 years at 13.1 per kwh. I could switch to one of the lower tiers, but it's not a huge enough difference at our usage.

If it goes lower, however, I'm all in to another plan.

Highly subjective. Do you like ‘em thick or thin? Do you want it super crispy or slightly? Do you want the crust herbed or no?

So much variability.

True, but it's been known for a long while that black/grey market vape cartridges are sketchy AF. It is as true for the nicotine based ones as the THC based ones.

It's a whole different ball of wax from grabbing a couple of buds from the guy down the street.

Purchaser of unregulated products shocked when unregulated products cause harm.

>Wow that's a lot of cars!

Depends. That dealership does stock higher value used cars, so that could have been 12-15 depending.

>roads and sidewalks are awful

This is entirely dependent on what town you live in. Towns with higher quality tax bases are going to have better town roads/sidewalks, while towns with lower quality tax bases are going to have worse.

What are you even going on about? It sounds like your wife drives, so are you saying she can’t drive in inclement weather? Is she “so incapable” that a half inch of snow is a problem?

Seems like you are saying women can’t drive in bad/slightly bad weather.

That’s a bad time.

>Must be the iPhones

It's been said, but that's not how it works.

Netflix, with a non-zero probability of some chill afterwards.

Yup, I'd say 5.5 is within a reasonable deviation of normal.

Which post? There's been 30 LMAO.

Some of this is normal. It's been dry and warm here, which means molds and other bits and bobs haven't been controlled this winter. Tie that in to the hysteria around the Ohio incident and "ZOMG it smells weird" turns into "oh yeah it DOES smell a bit like chlorine" etc.

The other contributing factor to this is CT and RI are dealing with fallout from a front that picked up dirt and dust in OK and is now depositing said dirt/dust here.

If I'm proven wrong I'll own it, but this smells like a lot of people exhausted from catastrophe after catastrophe and haven't had a chance to breathe.

I think I misread the original article and it has more to do with the water/Ohio River. That said what I mentioned still stands as the prevailing winds would have brought it south via WV then east until the coast, then a northerly wind would have picked it up and moved it out.

I could be wrong, however.

It doesn't hold up. Supposedly the plume is/was on target to hit Huntington WV at some point today. No way that it's here that fast.

Know a guy. Work is estimated to begin sometime between Tomorrow and some time in the future.

The cheapest one in my area was ~$325 when I was shopping around. The most expensive was ~$600.

It can get crazy.

Pricing seems about right for the region if you want any sort of quality. Daycare isn’t cheap.
