https://oshercenter.org/oc-practitioner/donald-b-levy-md/ Dr. Levy is a functional medicine dr (much like those at the Marino Center mentioned below.) I really liked him when I was seeing him!

Reply to Cambridge Unveils Report on Municipal Broadband Feasibility and Business Model Options by stannenb
I would love this. My parents have community broadband in wester mass and it’s so awesome. No more xfinity. It would be nice if there was at least one other competitor

I lived at 3 Linnaean st for 5 + years. Always pronounced it Lin-Ay-un. I’m from western Massachusetts but have multiple friends who were born and raised in Cambridge, with their parents and grandparents also living/being raised in Cambridge. They are certain it’s pronounced “Lin-ee-un”. Given this is their town I have to say they are right and I’m pronouncing it wrong. But I’m stuck in my ways so will always call it “Lin-ay-un”.
Good times there. Shout out half shell and abbey !!

Agreed. I grew up on Donnell Street (don-ELL) and we always called it LIN-ee-un Street.

I’d check the craft store in Porter Sq shopping center (right outside of t). They may have something similar.

I haven't used it, but the Marino Center at Mount Auburn Hospital offers these kind of services.
And for the record, I'm an actual (biomedical) scientist and I think it's more complicated than the take above.

If you ever find yourself with a car, the beaches in Scituate are basically just stones.

You are correct. I grew up there too! You must have gone to Peabody!

It’s not our problem. Are you kidding me?

I can’t stand these people. It’s like they try to only find the most introverted, odd and shabby people. I think they are taught to just enter premises no matter the cost or risk. They seem annoyed to be canvassing and have A LOT of ‘tude. Really rude, vile, and disrespectful little shits in my opinion. They’ve been coming to my house every year for several years. Ironic thing is I donate to wgbh on my own time. But I can’t stand them.

Why stones? Why not tennis balls or golf balls. Round rocks are hard to find

Who said I was on the couch? Was just pouring myself a coffee in the kitchen when I happened to glance and notice him. He wasn't bothering anyone and seemed to be feelin' no pain, so I just sort of shrugged and let him be.

Ahhh, well. Mystery remains unsolved. That dude seemed to be having a great time, though.
