Oh now see...I like Science Friday. I hate it that I've missed it again today. :(

I'm so confused...I distinctly remember Vermont paying people to move there just a few years ago. Where did all those people go?

Also, Vermont is #3 on the list of the highest rates of homelessness by state.

I'm not the one defending a fat, orange traitor, but you do you, ma'am.

Well.

Bless your heart, honey.

The fat orange traitor is going to jail. He only entertains me with his flailing and YELLING.

He's a sad little tRumpster who's lost his way. He doesn't know who to be angry at anymore so he's just going to be angry at everyone (but not as angry as he is at himself for being taken in by a fat, orange conman).

Wow. Here you are on reddit proclaiming how you don't have a problem with underage drinking OR with adults drinking with minors.

What, and I ask this with all *due* respect, the fuck is wrong with you?

Well, I'd say it's because the COL is lower, but I'm not really sure about that. I had no idea that NH had that many more folks than Vermont, tbh. I think NH is a little more rugged, and it does have a tiny coastline, but 1.4 million? I have no clue as to why NH has so many more folks.

I miss the mooses!!!

I'm a native Vermonter and I live in Kentucky. I travel through W. VA on the way to my daughter's house in D.C. several times a year. To me, W.Va reminds me more of New Hampshire, than Vermont.

What water are my cats going to contaminate? We are not near any bodies of water that they could possibly effect.

I have 8 cats--all rescues that other people dumped and refused to take responsibility for. They are all spayed and neutered, have their shots and get regular vet visits as needed. I have 3 cats that are 15 and 16 years old. When we lived in the city, I only had the 3 and they stayed inside. The other 5 were dumped on me HERE, out in the country on the dead end road I live on.

It's pretty shitty of you to call me irresponsible when I am the only one in these cats lives that ever DID take responsibility for them. They aren't out at night--they're all piled up on me, or in their favorite cat beds spread around the house. The last time I saw one of my cats with a bird it was one that was frozen right out of the sky during the sub zero weather we had, and I know that's how she got it cos I saw the thing drop.

Just say you don't like cats and be done with it. Geez. It's not that hard.

We have all manner of critters shitting in the woods around here. Guess I should lock up all the squirrels, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, chipmunks, turkeys, eagles, owls, gophers, moles, mice, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and crows too maybe?

Yeah, my indoor/outdoor cats are not a nuisance to anyone but ME (when it rains, and they refuse to go outside to shit in our woods which means I have to do extra cleanings of the litter boxes). I have no neighbors, except the Amish folks across the road and they LIKE my cats keeping the rodent population in their barn in check. My cats are too busy napping and eating and mouse chasing to worry about damn birds.

Also, I think that people who own land where they've been spotted are tired of them being killed off by stupid 'trophy' hunters and the govt. and so are not reporting their presence any longer. I have family still up there, and friends and they tell me every couple of years about seeing one while out hiking or hunting. I honestly don't think they ever really 'left'. I think they moved further north and the ones seen in Vermont are either just passing through or possibly trying to expand their range. I'm not a zoologist so I have no clue, but I know I'VE seen one (back in the 90's outside of Underhill), and folks I know have seen them. We really have no reason to lie about it.

Asking the important questions.....

LOL...look at all the linemen downvoting us...LOLOL.

I've been saying this my whole life. I do not understand why this isn't a national initiative, honestly. Even the substations should be underground. The only reason it's not being done is because 'it would cost too much' (they say as they have to pay out hundreds of billions in repair and replacement costs after each next disaster).

I have a friend who has a hydroponic growing store in an old church. Been there for years and years.

You are a Righteous Dude.

Oh yeah, for sure. My little Honda was a four speed and it did really well in the snow. In the summer, I took it up and down forest logging roads and all kinds of terrain...lol...she handled it like a trooper. I think she thought she was a 4 wheel drive. LOL.

I miss that car, but I do like my automatic transmission now that I'm old and arthritic. LOLOL

Man. I'm soooo jealous right now.

I MISS MY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right? There would already be six feet of snow on the ground by the middle of December back in the 70's, ffs.

I remember snowbanks tall as buildings all the way from Malletts Bay to North Avenue back in the day!! LOL.

I had a 1984 Honda Civic hatchback. It was a 4 speed. LOVED it in the snow. I never put the first snow tire on that thing, couldn't afford them back then--just had my all seasons on there. I was working at a resort and racquet club up near Sugarbush and was up and down German Flats and the Access road every day in the winter. The only time I ever had an issue was driving through Granville Gulf on route 100 and did a full spinout landing in the right direction on the side of the road. The folks behind me stopped and helped me get off the snowbank...lol. I'm just glad I wasn't an idiot trying to haul ass like so many do.

LOL...you should have seen it in the 60's and 70's!!! I remember a snowstorm in 69 where we literally had to dig our way out of our house in Malletts Bay. It was wild man.

I don't think you'll ever see snow like that again in Vermont.
