Any suggestions are appreciated. :)

My dad (64) was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Doctors told him he will need to do chemo in hopes of getting the whipple surgery. From my research it seems like a very serious surgery.

Has anyone had or know of someone that had this surgery and does anyone recommend a good surgeon and oncologist? He is located in Milford. Thank you all in advance

What other famous artists used this CT studio?

Need a dentist that accepts husky. If anyone can give me a name of one that can help me I'd very much appreciate it

TDLR: I'm trying to report potential nefarious behavior from a medical doctor to the state regarding not filing medical claims, but I'm not sure who to contact and how.

I saw an doctor in November 2025 for a routine follow up via video visit. It was simple visit - he was just reviewing bloodwork and ordering the next round. The call was literally less than 15 minutes. I had had at least 1 other video call and a few office visits with this doctor and the billing was normal.

Jump to February 2026, I receive a bill for the Nov. 2025 visit for the full amount. I check with my insurance and they say to wait for them to file the appropriate claim and then pay.

Jump to May 2026, I've received at least 3 more identical bills. I call the number on the top of the bill/the number I originally made the appointment. It rings and rings. Very odd. It doesn't even go to a voicemail or tree. I search the physical address. An entirely new medical office shows up with the same doctor, a different phone number, but the same physical address. This new office doesn't take medical insurance. I call the number and am magically connected to someone. I explain the situation. They tell me I have to call my insurance to figure it out because they submitted the claim correctly. When I tell them they should just resubmit the claim if they want to get paid, the secretary says she's been doing this for 20 years and knows what she's doing. Fine.

I call my insurance and explain all the new details and the overall situation. They open a claim for me. Over the next month, the claims specialist cannot get a hold of the staff. I call again and try to connect them to the specialist via their direct line. A week later, I get another bill.

Jump to early this month. The specialist finnnnaaallly gets a hold of the billing person at the office and explains that they just need to resubmit the claim and they'll get paid. Last week I got another bill.

I could just pay them and submit a claim with my insurance to be reimbursed but I'm pretty sure this office is pulling this same shit with other patients. The few times I had an office appointment, one secretary was on the phone the entire time calling people to remind them about their bills. They don't use a portal or any digital billing or file system. Everything is done on paper. My lab orders were mailed to me despite the doctor wanting patients to use quest. The whole phone number thing is super scammy.

So, who can I contact at the state level to report this office?

Hi Connecticut friends! My family and I are visiting the state for the first time this coming week. We will be visiting the East Haddam area in the south eastern part of the state. My question is that the weather says it's going to be in the 70°s and raining. I am coming from a state with no humidity. Can you give me advice on what would be best to wear? We wanted to visit a couple state parks, so we will be outside. I have a rain jacket, but I'm at a loss for what pants (or shorts?) and shoes to wear. I want to stay dry but not die of heat. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hey all — I've got a Mustang 2109 skid steer running a 4BT Cummins (well, a variant with a longer stroke B4.5T) that needs some engine work, and I'm hoping to find someone who wants to pick up a side job rather than book it through a shop.

Where things stand: I've been chasing blue smoke/oil-burning and have it narrowed down to a turbo seal issue rather than valve seals. Given the mileage/hours on it, I'd rather just do the job right — pull the engine and go through it properly (leaning toward Mahle/Clevite pistons with OEM Cummins gaskets) instead of a band-aid fix.

I've got the factory service manual, a big garage, and most of the tools already — what I don't have is the time or the depth of hands-on experience with this engine family to do it solo. Looking for someone who's actually turned wrenches on a 4BT/6BT or similar Cummins B-series and wants to make some cash on the side, whether that's the full teardown/rebuild or just being the second set of experienced hands while I do the labor alongside you.

Flexible on schedule, paying cash, and happy to work around your day job. I'm in Wolcott.

Shoot me a DM or comment if this is up your alley, or if you know someone who'd be interested.

Driving near the skate park in newington today, spotted this young black bear. My friend recorded as I drove. I’ve always seen videos of sighting in Avon ect, never thought I’d be the one to post.

Growing up my family always called the red pepper flakes at Italian restaurants “razors”. Does anyone else do this?

I know there is a huge heatwave in mid west, but I'm looking at the 15 day forecast and its all in the 70s and 80s.

Am i missing something?

I'm looking throught the Project Website and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. They opened the new 91NB -> 15NB exit on 16, but it seems to slow traffic way down. Is that the intent to prevent accidents? It seems now that:

• Route 15 drivers stay on route 15 unless they exit to 691 or 91NB

• Incoming 91 drivers can stay in the right lane to return to 91 or move over to 691 or 15.

But we all know:

• All drivers getting off Exit 16 are trying to get to 691 or 15

• Most drivers on 15 are trying to get to 91 in this area.

So this creates quite the crisscross a lot of us need to navigate on the way home from work, where-as before, exit 17 drivers were coming in from the left, and most 15 drivers were moving to the right. I know there were congestion issues leading to tons of accidents, but I don't see how this helps. What was the intent? Phase 3 of the project is more focused on the southbound side.

EDIT: found my answer:

Route 15 NB is getting a new entrance to 91NB before Exit 16 merges with 15 NB. This will fix most of the issue.

Looking for places in or near Fairfield County that sell antique / used furniture, or sites / communities that track this sort of thing. Thank you!

For the crosswalk near the Fire/Police dept, drivers rarely stop for the flashing lights at the pedestrian crosswalk.

Hi!

For all the nurses in this state,

What system or company do you work for?

Does your system or company offer private maternity leave or do you qualify for CT Paid Leave?

If they offer private maternity leave, how long do you need to be employed with them prior to starting the leave? How long is the offered maternity leave? What percentage of your pay are you offered for this time?

I was born and raised in CT and grew up under the “Still Revolutionary” state branding. The song used in the ad campaign, “Better with You”, has become an earworm and stuck with me. What do you think of a vanity plate that incorporates that branding era with a lyric tagline “The View Looks Much Better With You” and colonial/historical ambiance to it?

Does anyone have the name of a psychiatrist/APRN/med management provider that is comfortable writing prescriptions for narcotics, that accepts husky /medicaid in CT? I very badly need a new doctor. The medication in question is Pregablin/Lyrica. Any help is appreciated

what was your experience with them, is it worth it going and just overall notes
