Dr. Renzi at Dental Associates in Newtown. Hygienists & assistants are great about folks with fears & anxieties about dental care, Dr. Renzi himself is a chill dude who'll gladly explain what he's doing & why.

Dr David Lamberti, Chapel St in New Haven. Been going to him since I was about 6 (I'm 40s now). Patient and kind and has a lovely staff.

Nope. Registration.
According to FL that’s what’s needed, it’s more important than the title.
This is what I needed someone else sent it to me.

Minimum wage isn’t based on skill, it’s meant to reflect (at minimum) how much money is required to maintain a defined minimum standard of living with that single income so that people who have jobs arent in poverty, even on the lowest rung of the totem pole.
Inflation go brrr, minimum wage must increase

Florida is a cesspool. I dont need to go digging to know that CT bests Florida in just about every metric.

Reply to Selling "cuts" in line, over at UCONN. 😅🤣 by Acousticks
You had to do Thursday right. Hit it early for happy hour to eat then stay for nickel night. That skips the cover too until they started rechecking IDs to kick people out for nickel night. This has the added benefit of setting the high score on Photo Hunt. Those were the days.

That was actually a UConn logo? I thought it was just like a derpy dog parody of the husky.

I've lived in a few places in CT. Currently in NW part of the state and seasonal depression is noticeable. When I lived near the water in Stamford, I did not have SAD. I lived in RI before that, did not have SAD.
I get through it by having lots of cups of hot broth, hot baths and making fires. This winter was mild so going out for hikes was helpful too. It is a huge challenge and my goal is to be a snow bird (go down south for 3 months) when my husband and I retire. That's nearly 2 decades away, so I'm in it for the long haul. If you can move, you should. It will be life altering.

I moved to California and then moved back to Connecticut. I hate the winters. So yeah. I’m happy we had a very mild winter. But it’s still not warm enough. Maybe this week.

In CT? At 40 hours per week, which you'll never get since scheduling always avoids that so they don't risk overtime, that is just $32k per year. The average apartment rent is more than half of that. $15 per hour is not a living wage by any stretch of the imagination.
It has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with the work that needs to be done. If we want people to do these jobs, we need to pay them for their time. There will always be jobs that are easier than others, but a) time doesn't care and b) food service is not easy. It's easy to teach, but it is not easy.

Reply to Hiking in NW CT by sphockey
Most towns in NWCT don't have hotels/motels. The only ones who really do are Kent and Cornwall, and they ain't cheap. I'm not sure about AirB&Bs. That being said, the Appalachian Trail runs through there, and you can do parts of it with varying difficulty levels. I would also recommend hiking up to the top of Bear Mountain in Salisbury, as it's the highest "peak" in CT, and on a clear day you can see all the way to Vermont.

Reply to Hiking in NW CT by sphockey
Like another comment said, there aren’t many options for hotels besides a bed n breakfast here and there. Check out Airbnb. I would bet Torrington would have some options, but it’s def not the shining gem of NW corner if you catch my drift. Kent’s my home town and was an amazing place to hike around all my life. Also look in Sharon, Cornwall, Salisbury/lakeville, north Canaan and even Millerton or Amenia NY
Check out Lions head and Bear mtn in Salisbury, Mohawk State Park in Cornwall, Bulls Bridge, kent falls and Macedonia State Park in Kent. Just following the AT is an amazing experience (particularly between bulls bridge/10 Mile river in Kent and pine knob loop trail in Cornwall, but that’s hometown bias), it has plenty of views and goes from mountain tops to the Housatonic River and everything in between. Hope this helps and enjoy!
