I love a good game of Scattergories, but my family doesn’t love it. We battle it out with Trivial Pursuit though!

Oh not meant as a criticism of you in any way, just wanted to add how scary this actually was, the woman was rightfully scared for her life.

This article so seriously downplays that incident. The guy who owned these dogs is a well known asshole and nuisance in the town I grew up in, has no respect for landowners, and is seriously nasty to deal with when asked by landowners to keep his (obviously dangerous) dogs off of their posted property. He is not from the town he hunts in but spends a ton of time roaming all over my hometown, and others, during hunting season. I am scared for my parents every hunting season because of this guy and people like him. Guys like this give the entire tradition a bad name, and this incident shows how badly things can go wrong when the dog owner is not attentive or responsible.

This is so incredibly frustrating. We have a large aging population, there are very few nursing homes, even less that will accept anyone with memory care needs, or God forbid mental health needs. There is not a nursing home in my county I’d feel good about sending a loved one to. This is exactly the kind of infrastructure Vermont needs, and of course people just won’t allow it. If you don’t have the funds for an insanely expensive private care facility, or extremely devoted family members, you are fucked in this state once you age. It’s so, so sad.
