it works well in states that you need to get through to get somewhere, like connecticut if you're driving from NYC/95-S to Boston. but I think it will just end up hurting locals' wallets more than benefit from tourists/visitors.

The fact that it is annually still pisses me off

this has happened to everyone i see in every costco i’ve been to around the country. It’s not unique to you nor vt. Don’t take it personally and just let them do their jobs. If you don’t like it, don’t shop there i guess lol 🤷‍♀️

We moved from the deep south back up to new england with one of those POD things and paid local people to pack/unpack it. That saved us a fuckload and allowed greater control on our stuff.

That reminds me of the time i had food poisoning. It was exactly that nightmare of both ends for two days lol. Glad you’re doing better!

Have you posted on front porch forum as well? I see some people doing that here (washington cty)

Yeah i see gastro at dhmc and i can tell you they are fucking booked. It took me a year to get an endoscopy scheduled and another year and a half to get more testing. It’s fucking n u t s.

I have gone to mx before for care and it was wonderful. But how fucked up is it that we have to consider this? Our medical people are burnt out - my family in the medical field are so toasted and have lost a lot of patience, which is not good for anyone. The hopsital group my doctor sibling works for is the devil, so that doesn’t help. :/ and all the nurses i talk to, as i’ve met a lot of the ones that are travel nurses for cvmc/psych hospital here, say they make fair wages only by traveling. My mother is a nurse who traveled before and during the pandemic around the new england area and says more nurses are doing that, resulting in a failure for local people to be retained bc the prospective money elsewhere is greater, esp seeing contracts are like, 13 weeks or so. Something has to change for all workers in the country, including medical staff. It’s bad.

Also, i am sorry about your racist doctor! What hospital group are they associated with - uvm or dhmc?

My friend goes there (she is waiting for her new job benes to start) and says it’s excellent care actually

How tf do they EXPIRE? Insurance companies are such a fucking scam

Lmao same but they’re also spread thin.

Lmao definitely don’t come with that attitude

Yeah the hedge funds are not buying houses in vermont. It is a place like no other and it is very rural and we don’t like big businesses. So it’s not desirable for those big wigs and shit. Maybe do more research and come visit to really understand what the fuck you’re talking about. Also I don’t know a single xenophobic person here but go off

Dash cams! Mine saved me from this exact thing.

Wishing you a speed full recovery! So glad you survived that, how horrific.

Holy crap! I hope the driver is okay! What a scary situation

Ask on front porch forum?

I never have had issues with my metal roof and gutters and snowguards. But when we went from regular shingle to metal last year, we needed all new gutters bc of the way the roof was installed and the way the gutters (new ones) need to sit. Everything looks great now - our gutters are a lot less noticeable now and i love it lol

I have a metal roof and gutters. They are installed in a special/different way that tucks them under from damage but you still should have gutters.

Still didn’t answer how a dispensary is trashy lol

Not at all

The lady who owns the cafe right next door is looking at opening this one, as she told me at least!

How the fuck is it trashy? Have you even seen a dispensary?

no houses, just churches

Yeah because your situation and approach seems so scammy. Who orders from states away, thinking it doesn’t give off scam vibes? I doubt this had to do with race, as we have non-white people here btw, contrary to many stereotypes
