No, turn it around the flip it upside down. If you just turn it around that flat side will be on the wrong side.

Come for the arguments about firetrucks and gravel, stay for the donuts and rolling your eyes at your dumb ass neighbors who don't know shit about either but somehow also get to vote.

"I was just wondering if maybe the road foreman was here and could tell us more about the flail mower that's in the budget on page 37 and how that's different from the flail mower that they are currently using?"

It's because much of VT is off the beaten path. Our food and stuff is all pretty much a special delivery.

Who is this security you speak of at after hours games? Seriously.... I'm pretty sure the school cops are only around during school hours and not at every event, unless something changed? Also as far as I know not every high school even has one of those security officers, mine didn't when I was there.

That's kind of the problem, it comes down to whatever small number of school officials (usually under 5) who are actually at the game and making the decision to call the police on a parent is a hard line to cross, especially when the asshat will always scream freedom of speech if the police come after them.

As much as I consider it abuse and harassment if they aren't actively assaulting someone the police don't usually want to get involved and then you have a teacher trying to forcibly remove a parent. We don't give them the resources to do things like that in small towns....

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.

Ooh I might have to check that out!!

Im not an expert, you're probably right!

Damn right

Grocery stores. As someone who recently moved from central NY, I can tell you that food's more expensive here.

Responsible dog owners should not let their dogs roam free. Especially at night when the cats do most of their hunting.

may every breath you take be full of fart

Town meetings make even people who live in VT wanna leave

I work at FedEx. Some are making $2000 a week others $800 a week. Depends on the contract.

But think of all the dogs that people let roam free!

Don't tell that to the people that think the Catamount is extinct.

I'm from the New York side of Lake Champlain, I can see Vermont from my house. Lol Thanks for the reply.

Definitely blow out your pipes first if you turn the heat off completely. Water will sit in low spots within pipes and they will break. I would suck it up and leave the space heaters on. When you turn the water back on make sure it has been warm for a while in the house and be ready to turn the water back off if there are splits.

Also power use could be hot water if it’s an electric tank.

You will not do well here

this is a good tip, thanks. And we do drain the pipes, idk maybe we can turn off the bathroom heater, too. it was just what the old owner advised, the instructions are on this old sheet of notebook paper we've been trying to follow them

Well, there’s the touristy stuff which you can google, and that’s fine if you’re coming for a visit. Where in upstate NY are you? Are you planning on buying a home up in the woods here, somewhere? If so, take a day this winter and drive around on some of the unpaved “charming” Vermont side roads up in the hills. If you’ve been on a logging trail in NY, then you know what a typical rural Vermont “road” is like!😄 Know where you’re going in advance, because cell service is spotty at best. If you enjoy stuff like that, welcome!

I'd start with a small town Town Meeting Day, and go from there.

If you suspect the heaters you could purchase two of these (https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU) and put one on each. Just reset the counter before you leave and check it when you return.

Or just assume its the tax for ensuring an unheated, or modestly heated, structure in a cold climate doesn't suffer from frozen pipes if you're not draining them.

thanks dog

You should probably sell it and stop hoarding housing in a state with a housing crisis. You are the problem.
