They don't want us to live here. They want it to be a rich peoples playground and the few that stick around can cater to them.

Well. Tastes so much better than town water. I grew up on town water and have had a well for the past 5+ years. Wont go back.

My indoor cats kill several mice a year and if they were outside they'd be killing song birds and humming birds as well.

When I saw a down-voted comment I knew it'd be this. Seriously, keep your cats indoors for their safety and other animals safety. There are more than enough psychos out there that enjoy running over cats and cats can have an impact on local wildlife. I say this as a lifetime cat owner, I love them to death but keep them inside.

EDIT: Things that can kill your cat outside: Cars, Dogs, Coyotes,Fox, Fishers, Owls, Hawks, Eagles, anti freeze and other poisons.

Your cat also kills things and not just mice or rats. Song birds and humming birds also are prey. If your cat is indoors it also can't help transmit the many cat carried illnesses. Also far less likely to get lyme disease.

I avoid the interstate if I can. Don't need to get boxed in by 3 massholes racing and then going 15 below the speedlimit to then race you when I just want some groceries.

I have standing seam so I don't do anything to the snow, it just slides off on it's own.

My grandfather still used it (for fun, had a satellite dish as well) and got a few channels in Tunbridge until he died last summer.

This shit used to happen all the time when I was in school in the early 2000's. We got to end the school year 4 days early once because of a bomb threat.

Oh there's tons of jobs open, many aren't even short term. I just absolutely love my job (organic tick and mosquito control) it pays well and I get to be alone and outside all day. I'd love to find something I could do while snows on the ground yearly but not in a great spot to work at a ski resort or something along those lines.

Sorry but I'm not driving 35 minutes to work at a grocery store for 2 months when I can get more sitting on my ass at home.

​

EDIT: lol go ahead and downvote, excuse me for wanting more money to ya know pay my bills and feed my kids then a grocery store would provide. I make way more than minimum wage, am certified and my employer pays into unemployment along with actively wanting us to go on unemployment so he doesn't have to hire, certify and train a new crew of people every year.

It wouldn't surprise me. I get laid off for a few months in the winter for my job and usually doing the required job search is just apply and forget. Not this year, everyone is requesting interviews. Kind of a pain for me as I have no intention of leaving my good paying job and no one in their right mind is going to hire me for a couple months.

You need more than lumber to build a house. Wire is still high as are number of other things or in shorter supply than a few years ago.

Also materials skyrocketed in price during the pandemic and haven't really recovered much.

That's how it is now. Materials haven't come down a ton from the pandemic and now inflation.

You might be surprised then. many manufacturing companies do. hell I got tested by O'reily auto parts although that may have changed now that it's legal.

Not too bad. Occasionally I'll have to buy a new hanger or something. Usually it's just smacking a few nails back in. I wouldn't screw them in, the screws will hold better but are more apt to cause the plastic to straight up break or take wood with them when they go. Nails will just get pulled out for the most part.

Mine do get ripped down but I like them over the stairs on my porch.

I don't, I don't like killing things along with my dad was never much of a hunter (farmer, no time) but once he did go out hunting. He parked his truck on some land my grandfather owned walked into the woods for 3 minutes and a 6 pointer came out 20 yards ahead of him and just stood there. He got it, the only deer he's ever shot as far as I'm aware. Never went hunting again.

​

Another one my grandfather always liked to tell was of one day when he was a boy he was home alone and looked out his bedroom window and there was a nice buck eating apples in the orchard. He pulled out my great grandfathers trusty Winchester repeater (I still have it) and shot the deer from his bedroom window. He always would end by saying not to tell his parents.

>Ultimately what's really a threat to Vermonters is a broken property tax system. As property values increase, so do property taxes and just like California and Colorado, eventually the taxes alone will evict the poor from their homes opening it up for rich people to take everything Vermonters worked for.

Already happening.

11 in North Tunbridge.

Its just frustrating having to drive 10+ minutes out of the way after every job, it can easily add an hour to my day. It's the only town in happens in for me.

Plates may not mean much. I have a few friends who travel around the country doing linework after hurricanes etc. They could be in Georgia one week then Arkansas the next and not always driving the same trucks.

The tablets aren't 5G and have the same issue. You can have 4 bars LTE and still nothing.

They must know some tricks in Norwich. My phone will say it has 3 bars of 5g but then can't even load Reddit. Real pain while working there since we have to update costumer info on tablets and will often have to drive almost over to Hanover to actually get service.

Yes, report the user to misuse. It's a pretty common tactic on here to get on people's nerves.
