Newton-Wellesley in Framingham

January 28th, 2009


I know I’m late on this but for anyone who doesn’t know, Newton-Wellesley Hospital is looking to open a facility that will have 4 operating rooms and 4 procedure rooms at the former CompUSA site which ironicly was last used as the home of the Bodies exhibit.
It’s kind of odd that they would want to open a site in Framingham. stromectol over the counter   This will be yet another tax expempt property here in town. ivermectin tablets chew or swallow   I know people have their problems with it, but I’ve always had a good experience at Framingham Union although I have not been in the Emergency room for many years, which I hear most people have their problems. kaufen ivert

I feel that Newton-Wellesley is a respected medical facility and that’s great but I wonder if there is enough room for Framingham Union and Newton-Wellesley in the same town.  I guess we’ll find out.

Oil Change on Hollis St.

January 24th, 2009


I went to get my oil changed last week and I was kind of in a hurry.  I usually bring it to the good folks at Sullivan Tire but it was going to be an hour wait and I was headed up to NH and was way over due for a change and just really wanted to get it done before I went.
So I went to the gulf station on Hollis St. ivermectina hepatite fulminante because my mom used to bring her car there when she worked in the area. 

You go around the back to enter and I was greeted by a very polite gentleman who asked if I had come there before and explained how it worked and what the choices were.  He held the door open for me when he walked me over ot the waiting area.  The waiting room has nice big windows and you can see what they’re doing the whole time. 

Towards the end, another gentleman came in to tell me what some of the maintenance is “recommended” for a car with my mileage, I didn’t partake in any of it since I had already had that stuff taken care of but his apporach wasn’t the usual scare tactics that some places use to make you feel like your car will blow up if you don’t do it, so I appreciated the delivery of the options.
When i went to pay, everything that was done was explained and was told their work is guarenteed so if anything weird happens after to please bring it back and they’ll look at it right away. will ivermectin kill mange   Which is what you’d expect but again, it was said so nicely like they care about the work they do. ivermectina farmácia de manipulação   It’s been over a week and nothing weird has happened, infact  I feel my car is running better than it usually does.
They also vacum your car for free and offer a discount on a carwash with the oil change.

A good suggestion but…

January 11th, 2009


This morning we needed some ice melter for the driveway so I walked to CVS and saw a sign outside the Civic League (or what was the Civic League) that read “Shop Downtown”.  I thought that was nice to suggest and I hope people do, but I have to admit, there are only a handful of stores that I go to downtown.  CVS being the main draw (please don’t bail on us CVS!) and also other shops/restaurants I’ve posted about.
Everyone is different but for me, personally, I don’t go to a lot of the stores and services downtown but I wish I did, I just have no use for a lot of them (insurance offices, nail salons, wig shop, health care centers, Brazilian clothing/restaurants, churches, Latino record shop etc..) Nothing against Latino culture but I just don’t use these things.  Just like my sister has no interest in thrift shops and I love them,  or I think sushi is such a great treat and Ethan can’t stand it.  Different things appeal to different people and I’d like to think that’s okay. 
I keep thinking it would be great if downtown were more like Moody Street in Waltham with a great variety of resturants and shops so more people have something they’d like to check out.  I wish I knew how to make that happen but for now, I really do enjoy having the places I do go to near by and I like to support downtown by going to those stores.

La Cantina: Take-out

January 6th, 2009

Last week we decided to try the subs at La Cantina,  I got Eggplant Parm and Ethan got Chicken Parm. ????? ??? ???? At about each they come with choice of salad or fries (we got salad). ?????? ???????????

These were both pretty good, not spectacular but definitely not a disappointment and what would be expected when getting a parm sub.

The highlight was the jar of sauce I got when we picked up the subs. 

For what it’s worth, this jarred sauce is really good and I like that it’s just simple ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup or even sugar and it’s just a great tasting sauce.  Ethan thought it was just okay but I recommend picking up a jar and trying it. ???? ??????
