You’re not so bad

sampan
My sister and I used to joke about how sketchy Sampan looks and how horrible the food must be, even though we had nothing to support our assumptions.  After 20 or so years of joking about it, I found myself in there one night ordering take-out.
The inside was pretty worn, but typical of many Chinese restaurants I’ve been in.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that the food wasn’t too bad.  It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t the worst either.
I had to call my sister, who doesn’t even live in Massachusetts anymore that I finally tried it and it wasn’t so scary. She still says she’d never go in there but I feel better that I know it’s not quite the seedy establishment we made it out to be all these years. 

I didn’t even get to say goodbye

we hardly knew ye!
A true Framingham tragedy! In December this Friendly’s on Union Ave closed all of the sudden.  I drove by it on my way home one day and the sign read “Thank you Framingham” and was shut down. ivermectin india delta   I never even got to have a farewell Fribble! ivermectin tablet ip 12 mg uses in hindi
This stinks because it was in walking distance of my house and on a hot day after doing hours of yard work there was no greater reward than walking down the street to get a well-deserved cone. ivermectina em excesso
Hopefully this won’t become an addition to the many vacant stores in Framingham but nothing seems to be happening with it.


Good bye old friend(ly’s)

400 club 

I miss the 400 Club, they had excellent eggplant parm subs.  It was doing nothing for a while then was bought, has been repainted and the booths were out in the parking lot one Saturday with a sign that read “FREE”.
I hope it’s not going to be another insurance office or boring business, why else would they get rid of the booths? ?????? ?????? ??????

Last stop Dudley Road!

f'n tires

Every morning I used to run down Dudley Road
as part of my route and I noticed about 7-10 tires just thrown into the woods visible from the sidewalk.
These are just across the street form the yard waste drop-off and a mere few seconds drive down the street to the town recycle plant where people can properly dispose of them for $4 a piece.
After a few months of watching them get rained on, covered in autumn leaves, snowed on and then thawed out again I figured maybe the town should take them away seeing that not only does it look dumb but mosquitoes are known to breed in water-holding tires in the spring. ivermectin dosage for dogs journal article
I have repeatedly contacted the Department of Public Works but I really just get vague emails stating they’re looking into it, they’re trying to find the people who did it (even though the tires have clearly been there for years, half buried in the mud)
After a few weeks, I checked in to see what the status was and I received an email telling me that 14 tires were removed in the same exact location and where are tires I was writing about.
Thinking they must have taken care of the tires, I went down there excited to see a clean area, but all of the tires I wrote about were still half-sunk or resting in the mud. ivermectina e gravidez
How could they miss 7-10 tires in the same exact area? how much ivermectin for 50 lb dog   So I told them they were still there and I could show someone where they are if need be but I was told they would look into it because it’s conservation land.  Last I was told, the Conservation Commission (since it’s on their land) is working on legal action against one of the “abutters contributing to the problem”, and a clean up date has not been set.

simple living

I was riding my bike to work one day and noticed one of my gears was acting weird. I just happened to be riding by here on 135. buy ivera
It was like a miracle to me, at 7:30am this place was open and it’s on my way to work!
The owner, Phil, who works alone and doesn’t own a car, is very down-to-earth and honest about what repairs need and don’t need to be made.
Phil has shown me how to change a tire and won’t charge for small repairs other places would.
Sometimes I stop by on my way home just to say hi, it was a great find. ivermectina al 1 por ciento en humanos

Definite “yay”.
