healthworks deal @ groupon

[thespian.livejournal.com]

24 visits for $24 at Healthworks

(use at multiple locations, the Porter location is in the building of the CVS, entrance next to Emack and Bolio's)

Unlike previous incarnations of this voucher, it doesn't have the MUST NEVER HAVE EVER SET FOOT IN OUR CLUB (don't even look at it) clause.

Also, you can extend that a little further by participating in their 'Open house'; free programming that's happening for the first two weeks of February: http://www.healthworksfitness.com/extras/sharethelove.php

I am really happy to see this one up: I loved Healthworks (I really wish it wasn't women-only, so I could share it with more of my friends), but can't really afford the club right now (so I go to Planet Fitness, which doesn't thrill me, but IS cheap). I was taking boxing classes at Healthworks, which were a revelation to me; I had always sort of forced myself to do classes, bored and looking at the clock. Boxing classes would end, and my first thought was always, 'awww.' :-)

wanna fill some big shoes?

Somerville Scout - useful calendar

[madscientist01.livejournal.com]

I came upon the website for the Somerville Scout, a magazine I usually get in the mail but throw away, and found their calendar of Somerville events really useful. I learned things I never knew, like the fact that Highland Kitchen has a spelling bee on Tuesdays or that you can take hula dancing classes locally. It struck me as a nice link to have if you find yourself bored one day and are looking for something different to do. It also has a good bit of local gov't meetings listed, and you can have an event listed by emailing calendar@somervillescout.com The calendar is at: http://www.somervillescout.com/calendar.html

Driving help

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone:

I have jury duty in Framingham tomorrow at 8:30 am. I'll be driving myself there from Teele Sq. I don't really drive often, and am generally petrified. Also, I think it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Awesome.

Anyway, my question is this: how long should I give myself to get there? I have no concept of how long this might take. I'm planning to go Rt 2>95>90>30W. Google Maps says 30 minutes; I was going to give myself an hour. Is traffic usually awful then? How long should I give myself?

Thanks for the suggestions :).

ETA: I managed to get there and back without causing any major traffic incidents -- hooray! It took me about an hour to get there, and traffic wasn't too bad. Thank you all SO much for the help!!!

Where to Find Local Artist Greeting Cards

[vonelftinhaus.livejournal.com]

Hello as the post says, looking for Greeting/Thank you/Birthday/Occasion Cards that are possibly made locally or from local artist/designer's. I could not think of where to look but figured there had to be someone other than hallmark mega-corp global making them. Thank you all in advance
