Just recently I had to contact Tom Ruane about a problem with my Social Security Account missing…read morerevenue that was supposed to be posted by the IRS between 1996 - 2016. He had done the business taxes for me during that time period. I offered to pay him for his time, but he said it would just take a few days to gather everything that related to me and send along. I recommend Tom Ruane very highly, he did excellent work for me in the past, and now helping me with this new problem, even though its been years since he had done work for me. Great guy and such a relief he can help me with this.

I took my taxes in, and within 5 minutes Tom had discovered the error I made while using TurboTax.... Ouch.

If you are a cat lover (or just have a soul), Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody is a total must-visit. It's…read morea registered 501(c)3 nonprofit that shelters about 10 cats at a time, and you can instantly feel the passion Cora, Uri, and the volunteers have for rescue work. They've created a space that is the true definition of "mi casa es tu casa"--the cats basically own the place, roaming around freely while they rehabilitate and wait for their forever homes. It's so heartwarming to see them in such a chill, loving environment. What I appreciated most, though, was the educational side of the experience. They really take the time to highlight FIV kittens--which is basically the cat equivalent to HIV--and explain how they can live totally normal, happy lives with just a few standard precautions. Cora even touched on the biases that exist, even among vets, so I loved that I left not only feeling fuzzy from cat cuddles but also a lot more informed. Whether you're looking to adopt a new best friend or just want to spend some quality time with some kitties, I highly, highly recommend checking this place out and supporting their mission! As for food, you can bring in anything you'd like and if you're there for their tail thumping thursdays, you can also order delivery to it. They cannot serve food due to local laws and guidelines. They do have packaged snacks and drinks you can purchase to enjoy. In addition, they have merch you can also purchase. All purchases, including tickets, help fund the nonprofit.

I've been to this Savers a few times and I have left with some great stuff! They have sections for…read moreeverything you can think of: clothing, kitchenware, toys, games, furniture, books, crafts, accessories, etc. It does take a while to sort through everything; the shelves and racks are pretty crowded/stuffed. I usually don't bother sorting through the bagged up items on the walls because they're too difficult to get through. However, the clothing section is VERY organized for a thrift store (I found maybe 2 misplaced items-- that's it!). They have tons of XS clothing, which is usually scarce in other stores. I wish they had a bigger craft section (usually just yarn), but I guess that's based off what donations they receive so kind of out of their control. The books section is pretty big and they usually have some kind of deal or sale! As for pricing, it's really inconsistent and tends to be a bit on the higher side. The first time I went, I found a vintage wooden side table in super good condition for $9.99; but a pair of worn American Eagle jeans for $13.99...... Last time I went, I spent about $40 & left with 7 items (4 pairs of jeans, a shirt, a purse, & a pair of shoes). It's very hit or miss but it usually evens out when you see your total. Parking is usually great; it's a parking lot in the same area as DSW but usually not crowded, even on weekends. I will say it is a little dirty in there and they don't really clean out any of the items before shelving them. I found a few purses with crumbs, tissues, old lipstick blotters, etc. They do get this stuff for free so I obviously don't expect a deep clean of every item, but a quick once-over would be nice considering their pricing can be high. COVID changes: masks are required in store, and their fitting rooms are closed. You can EXCHANGE (not return) any items that don't fit after you get them home. All employees were wearing their masks, wiping down the shopping carts, wearing gloves, etc.!

As instructed on the drop off page of their website I called them to tell them of my drop off. First, I called in the morning to establish my understanding. The woman who answered confirmed my information and I was told to call when I was close, which I did. In my second call, ten minutes away, I was given directions and to go to door #7 not clearly marked). I was also informed, for the first time, that they did not take credit cards for drop offs. This meant I had to go get cash. As I arrived, one of their trucks was pulling in. He wanted to get into the bay of the garage. I asked him about drop off and he said he would call. This guy was very helpful and friendly, he entered the building, which clearly had credit card indicators on the door. If not for drop offs, for whom, as pickups would not see the door? Once I emptied my documents into the barrel, the truck driver emptied the barrel into the truck shredder. I don't think they have an on-site shredder, maybe just truck based. He took mt money, but then had to go looking for change. I only had twenties, as I was not expecting a cash exchange. So, good price, nice guy, got my shredding done, but it seemed a bit haphazard. Could work on processes.
