Ah yes, the teenager and late 20s age difference. You're right.

So you were allowed to spend a year exploring your sexuality and having a physical and emotional relationship with another woman that you would spend multiple days a week with and stay the night with weekly. Your boyfriend got understandably jealous and, with your permission, had a woman over to sleep with. Then YOU got jealous and said neither of you would sleep with other people. You came up with the rules. You were the only one in an emotional AND physical relationship. You both sound shitty, but calling him a psychopath?? Hardly.

Are you just mad you didn't get your way and this came back to bite you in the ass?

As someone who works in the veterinary field, Bravecto absolutely can still kill dogs, just like any flea and tick medication that works on the nervous system of the fleas and ticks. The pros of these meds just beat the cons of having tick borne disease and fleas, it doesn't mean they don't come with risks. If anything the negative reaction Seresto cases we have seen have been less severe b/c you can take the collar off and the active ingredient begins to leave the body. If animals have a bad reaction to Bravecto they are stuck with it for 3 months and it makes it more likely to be fatal.

I completely understand the labor aspect not being for everyone, and there is nothing wrong with that. If for you your time is more valuable than low cost heating, that is fine. I am saying to assign the word "cheaper" in this subject means that it requires less cash. Cutting my own wood from my property with a gas chainsaw and a little riding lawn mower with a trailer costs me no cash other than the gas for chainsaw and lawn mower. It is exercise for me and a stress reducer so it arguably is saving my money from finding a new exercise routine. For many people that chop wood this is why we consider it cheaper and it uses less cash. Does it take more of your time than propane? Absolutely.

I am not sure I understand why filling the wood stove takes so long in your case, but with mine I fill it twice per day. My parents have an outdoor wood boiler that heats everything for the house and is very efficient and loading it doesn't really seem to be a problem for them at age 70.

To each their own on what they heat with. Everyone's situation can make things different. But cutting your own wood has the capability of being the cheapest way of heating out of any other resource.

I am referring to you splitting wood yourself versus having cords delivered. You are correct that depending on your heating systems, delivered wood could be more expensive overall than propane in your situation.

How much are your charging yourself per hour to make those 5.6 days of 8 hours not cost efficient? Even at $20/hr wood is significantly less expensive. I think it is fine if you do not like the labor of wood, but to claim it is cheaper than propane is laughable. Even in your description the numbers do not work.

I have lived in NYS before, people complain about the issues with NYC versus the rest of NYS but I have found every state has that issue with their one major city versus the rest of the state. I found out west the politics were significantly more pronounced in that area versus the north east. Rural versus urban will always have money and politics issues. Vermont doesn't have it as significantly bc Burlington is small, but you still see the complaints and frustration from NEK and the east

I thought so too! Better backpacking + less snobs + cheaper land = better living! And you wonder why Vermont is paying good money for people to relocate to your state...

Well actually I think I decided on the Adirondack mountains, as it's about the size of Vermont with bigger mountains and cheaper property taxes... So not gonna live in your pretty green hills, but at least I'm not someone who is "born and raised and never left the same state I live in now and somehow I think I'm special"!

I've been living in the rocky mountains for a decade. The cute hills out here in Vermont are pretty and green, but I would definitely consider you the "flatlander".

Bro, we can all see your post and comment history. You are no health care worker, let alone a doctor lol!

You didn't answer my question, how do you define a farm if it's not a place that makes food??

How do you contribute to the world? Do you raise beef? Make maple syrup? Help with agritourism to educate? They do those things, and farms deserve those subsidies, otherwise there would be no farms. They get tax breaks on their land. Your "definition" of a farm does not matter. It's what the community, state and country consider a farm. Which is what this place is. A farm. Let them pay less for property taxes and go do something with your life.

What do you consider a farm if it's not a place that makes food and provides to the community?

The great thing about owning land is you can decide what YOU want to do with it and not care about some random dude on Reddit who doesn't own his own land wants.

Using the land I live on to build small houses or townhomes and and becoming a landlord for dozens of people in my backyard kind of defeats the purpose of living rurally for me. You do you. This farm will do their own thing too.

You have large amount of acres. Those acres have sugar maples. You tap and collect sap. Large amount of sap. You boil boil boil and pour into bottles. Sell bottles locally or ship out to the rest of the US who doesn't have sugar maples. Make money. Good sugar maple farm.

You don't consider raising beef cattle, large amounts of maple syrup and draft horses pulling carriages enough of a farm? Some people do only one of those things and still are a farm and deserve tax cuts. The state makes farm tax cuts easy to achieve for a reason.
