    Alyssa~ Thank you for taking the time to write about your brother Tim. You've enlightened many people about the life of an addict, and stressed the human side with countless falls and attempts to break free of the deadly grip drugs have on their life. I've lost 3 siblings in the past six years so I know first-hand the pain and loss you've felt. You've done Tim a wonderful service by writing about his struggles as well as his successes, and did a great job of defending and explaining his wonderful qualities. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I'm sure he loved you very much and was always grateful knowing you always saw the best in him and loved him no matter what.

    I'm very bummed to learn that Boston Garden is closing! What am I going to do now when I'm craving a "Deli Deluxe Sub" (with the works)? Even worse, what am I going to do when I'm needing my BG brownie fix?? Felix and everyone there have always been so friendly and nice, and it's always been a pleasure to stop in-whether to get an order to go or dine in. But the brownies! Absolutely the BEST hands down brownies in the entire world! I always buy 3, one for hubby & I to share on the way home, one to share later that night for dessert and the last one is for me and me alone to have tomorrow. I must get my hands on the recipe! BG: Best wishes on your new endeavors, but please know that you're leaving one lady high + dry without her favorite sub and brownie fix!! From Mrs. Vicki Austad

    The moving checklist came at a perfect time! My mom just moved here from up north, and as stressful as moving can be was made even more difficult for her as she fell and broke her wrist just a couple days before the big move. Fortunately, she's very organized and efficient, because she had been packing boxes for weeks prior. Every box was marked what room it should be placed in. She sat in her recliner and rested her arm while her offspring opened every box and put everything away. She's thrilled to be closer to her kids and grandkids, and looks forward to many happy years in her new home.
