Okay so I’ve done my research and looked around and talked to some folks. I can’t afford a house in any town with the house requirements besides Claremont. I have 5 kids that are school aged and I am worried about sending them to school in Claremont. I’ve heard nothing but awful things about the Claremont School district. Awful stories on WMUR, newspapers, local independent news agencies in the state, Reddit posts too. I talked to people in Newport, Claremont, and Lebanon about the Claremont school district and nobody had anything good to say. I talked to some realtors and they said it’s not desirable for many.

Can someone please tell me if I need to actually be concerned about the Claremont school district? They must meet state and federal guidelines to operate schools right? As long as my kids don’t fall in the wrong crowd and do school work as assigned they will get a proper education right? Please tell me anything you know about the Claremont school district good or bad because I’m actually nervous sending my kids to any new school but this one in particular.

So I was moving into a house that was 2 beds and 1 bath with 7 people. Turns out that is illegal or against code in the town I was going to do it in unless everyone was related to me which they weren’t.

I’m now looking for a house in the upper valley that is 3 beds and 2 baths so I can meet the 2 people per bedroom plus 1 additional person allowed rule for people unrelated to me. I have 300,000 thousand dollars max I can spend on this. I would have 5 kids living with me so it’s important I find them a good school. I know the upper valley has some of best school districts in the state but I am also aware they also have some of the worst.

What towns should I be looking for a house in?

I know the old saying is wait till Memorial Day but this week seems to be pretty warm with some rain some days and from here on out the weather seems to be warm enough for a garden. Just wondering if anyone has planted yet or are you still waiting?

While visiting my friend that is a coke distributor he was showing me some marketing material and he had a sign that said Coca Cola Rewards Coming Late Summer 2026. It showed coupons, soda, random physical items, and gift cards on the sign. It is supposed to start being hung up in stores sometime in June. In the fine print on the sign it states physical items come with a S/H fee.

I have a BJ membership and am wondering if the prices differ per location? If so what location tends to be the cheapest location in NH?

I plan on moving my family into a new home but can only do it in a 2 bed room home. I would have 3 people sleep per bedroom and one in the living room. Is this legal? I own the house but am not sure if I am going to be breaking any zoning rules and I’m afraid of calling and asking the town because then they’ll be onto me.

We have our own septic and well and only one bathroom. I think it’s doable and it’s the best I can do but I don’t want to get in trouble later on. Is there any community in the upper valley where this is allowed?

I should add that I’m not related to 4 of these people but I still consider them family.

Went to Burger King Today they were fully staffed had 10 cars parked outside and a wrap around the building for the drive through. The employees were wondering why everyday they keep getting more and more busy and they jokingly said McDonald’s must be doing something really wrong. I let them know it Isn’t a joke they are actually raising prices, and giving out less food and lower quality. They also no longer have a warm and inviting atmosphere like Burger King does. They didn’t believe me but said yeah that would explain why half our customers complain about McDonald’s.

It’s really looking like Burger King is taking a lot of McDonald’s customers.

The Flight attendant is hospitalized with suspected hantavirus. Seems a little worrisome if it turns out to be true. The world is so much less financially prepared for another pandemic than what we were in 2019-2020. They aren’t going to tell people to worry about this until they absolutely have to. By that point it will be too late. Once this becomes an issue the world economy will tank and oil will skyrocket. This is why they are treading lightly hopefully they are right and it ends up being a small blip that will disappear with time. Just be cautious.

Prices going up
Deals no longer good and non existent
Points system changing for the worse
No more self serve soda machines
Inside dining uncomfortable and bland
Play places being redone with nothing
CEO unwilling to eat his own companies food
Nobody manning the counter
Quality going down

Is McDonald’s trying to go extinct like other major restaurants or stores in years past? Minor mistakes that make the consumer unhappy can have huge consequences that just become bigger overtime. Sears was huge at one point and it disappears. Kmart was huge and it disappears. A and W and friendlys as well many other restaurants were much more common and now are few and far between. We may think McDonald’s could never collapse but these other companies thought the same and look where they are. If you do not learn about history in your industry it is bound to eventually happen again.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I have a family member in the ICU sedated with complete organ failure and has now been placed on a ventilator. They were talking fine after surgery 2 days ago and it just went south from there. Doctors and nurses have been busy and have not been able to tell me much or answer my multiple questions.

My main question is what is the chance of survival of something like this? This organ failure just took place today and they are in their mid 70s. Sorry again if this is the wrong place I just need some guidance from anyone that has experienced similar things.
