One of my favorite places to eat (or get take out) in Framingham is the Chicken Bone Saloon on Waverly St.
Even though it can have a tough looking crowd, the employees have always been amazingly pleasant, even when I call in an order and I can hear how insane it is in there, they’re still so nice. As a former waitress who sometimes took take-out orders, I feel if you’re going to place an order over the phone you should know what you want, order it clearly, hear the total/pick up time and hang up.One time when I ordered, I didn’t have some sort of info like knowing what heat Ethan wanted his wings or something like that which took me a few seconds to find out and apologized because I felt like such a hypocrite. ivermectin dose for 75 kg man The woman taking my order said no problem even though I could hear the other phone ringing and from the background noise it was packed in there. ivermectin medikament She told me someone earlier had called and asked “what do you have there? ivermectina y azitromicina ” and then insisted they be read the whole menu over the phone, of course she didn’t have time for that and said she hung up after two volleys of “yes you will- no I won’t”. That was nice of her to tell me the little story so I didn’t feel bad. It is a little dark in there but I think it wouldn’t be the same if it were well lit. They have a stage for free live music, a pinball machine and darts.The wings (I get boneless) are some of the best I’ve ever had. I’m always torn between ordering buffalo or the honey mustard dip. They’re both excellent. Great fries too.
Another “yay” in Framingham.

Last night we went out to Fun and Games (or Fun and Drugs, as we used to call it in middle/high school) I haven’t been in there since the 80’s. I was kind of disappointed that they didn’t have more classic games but it was still fun.

I always liked the entrance that feels like space you’re walking into a spaceship.
The biggest challenge of the night was playing MTV’s Drumscape where you try to drum along to a song. I like how they have real songs, by the real bands to drum to. I attempted to “jam!” (as the game says before you start) to “Round and Round” by Ratt .
Ethan is leaps and bounds above me in drumming ability, I felt like a 5 year old randomly pounding away with no rhythm or skill. At the end of the song it plays a roaring applause and screams like you just finished a concert. I feel I didn’t deserve the simulated cheer, I guess it’s better than it knowing you can’t keep up with the song and hearing boos from the audience. Pinball is always good too, I wish they had more than three but maybe I’m just used to the seemingly endless selection of pinball games at Funspot, which is really the only other arcade I go to(when I’m in the area).
I’m surprised Fun and Games is still open, never mind open until 9pm (10pm on weekends) but I’m glad they are. It’s one of the few Rt. businesses that are there from when I was a kid.

The majority of this plaza on Franklin St. is vacant. It’s such a shame because it is yet another area that I can walk to from my house but, there’s not much of a reason to. ???? ?????? ??????? ????????? ???? 2022 I would have thought at least a grocery store could stay in business there, but no such luck. spin palace
They must be pretty confident nothing will move into the old Big D for a while since the thrift store, that isn’t in the space of the old grocery store, got top billing on the plaza sign. I wonder if this will all just eventually get bulldozed over. I can’t even think of what I’d want to be in there but I guess its ok for now since I like Dunkin Donuts, bought something from the thrift store and once in a while need to get a bottle of wine or something from the liquor store.
Who knows, maybe whatever the 400 Club becomes will attract something else. Maybe someone will even occupy the old fotomat hut!
Also, I’d like to give a shout out to the two businesses in what I call “survivor’s corner“. They must have some loyal patrons because I thought there was nothing still alive in that section. Good for them! If anyone needs a haircut or a laundromat please go there. ?????? ????????

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”.
