My elderly mother needed to use the restroom and I wasn't aware the restaurant closed when I poked my head in. After asking, you all were clearly having some family hangout time after close but still had her come in to use the restroom. A small thing, but it meant a lot to me. Thank you.

Edit: Not mentioning name because I don't want others going up there thinking this place has a public restroom always open. This seemed like an exception they made. Just if they see it they know who they are and others know there are some good people up there.

Unexpectedly have something on Monday that requires me to dress in a suit. Both of mine aren't in the best shape and don't want to risk doing any care at home and messing them up. Anyone know of any cleaners that could drop off today and be done by Sunday? I know it's the holiday weekend and horrible timing. But just found out.

Live in Quincy, but willing to travel into Boston or other nearby areas if necessary.

My son is 7 years old, autistic, and is a very advanced reader for his age. For example he has been reading Chronicles of Narnia and fully understands what is going on most of the time (some of the prose or idioms are a bit dated and he'll ask about it, but otherwise he understands). The books that are typically for 7 year-olds are too basic and boring for him.

I'm trying to find something that is sufficient for his reading ability/comprehension (like 11 years old or so) but is also appropriate for his age. We picked up The Ascendance series by Jennifer A Nielsen as it was listed as low as 3rd grade, but there's a lot of talk about killing and "he cursed at the man" and such so far. We might see it through (he's really into the video game Hollow Knight so darker stuff isn't too bad for him), but seeing if there's anything you all might know that's a bit less intense. He really liked the Lightfall graphic novel series as well. Was thinking maybe some of the Chris Colfer books might be more appropriate?

Any suggestions/thoughts appreciated!
