Wow just unbelievable....on the way back from NJ dealing with the father in law passing.....

Talked to several neighbors....we had had no contact, so called police Thur for the wellness check, at which point they found him

Well it turns out, one of the neighbors called on Mon for a wellness check....cop went, found both his cars in the driveway... knocked on door.... obviously no one came to the door....so he left...

Dude what the hell is the point of a wellness check? To knock on door and leave? How about going inside to see if there is a problem?

Do your freaking job !!!

Absolutely horrible. I hope you file a complaint. That's unacceptable

Yay for you (and Susan?)

Whales tale water park did not disappoint. Parked our stuff on the grass by the wave pool. Could bring our ow n food, no crowds, band, tiki bar. Hit all the sides. Favorite was the toiler bowl one.

Interested to hear from from @TD Charlie about how it was better before. Did they rip out some slides to put in the one where the floor drops out?
Toiler bowl?

Not sure if anyone has seen this story, but this young man started an ice cream stand to raise money for his brother's hockey team, which is the special needs hockey program that I run.

Someone in Norwood narced him because he was selling ice cream without a license, and the Norwood Board of Health actually shut him down.

NBC 10 Boston picked up the story, and a few other news outlets followed.

It has since gone viral. Even Rear Admiral has gotten into the act.

We have been flooded with donations. Which goes to show that the hockey community is first class. We are overwhelmed with everyone's generosity.

And two ice cream shops have volunteered to get involved after Danny's ice cream stand was shut down.

At this point, we don't need any additional donations. But if you read this and feel moved, find a charity that can use a few bucks and make a donation if you can. @sarge88 and @EverettMike run great charitable events every December that are fantastic and take care of those who aren't so fortunate.

Crazy that some miserable person in Norwood who doesn't like kids, charity or fun has somehow caused the community to rally.

Something similar like that happened here in the Hub City. Little girl's lemonade stand was robbed by a couple of little thugs. Local ball team stepped up to help them.

As of yesterday they’ve gotten a little under $6,000 in donations! There is some good in this world.

Going to the cape for a week starting tomorrow, @Kate08 give me the food highlights!

Where are you staying?

The food down the cape actually isn’t that great :laugh: . It’s all the same. There are a few nicer places and some places that are musts for us while we’re there, but it depends what part you’re staying in.
