Give 211 a call if you have a chance. They can be really helpful and get you directed towards the right resources - maybe even for things beyond food if you have other needs at the moment.

The one thing we hate the most is people

Hey, I’ll hope for the best for you! If you’re working/ caregiving/otherwise time-crunched, it can be infuriating when the once-reliable systems don’t work. My rural town has lost 2 village stores, and the café is now seasonal-only. Our local PO will be moving farther from us soon. Life these days is maddening! But we’ve gotta try to stay sane & strong & hope it improves. We’re lucky to be here & have what we have.

Does he say anything about the motive? Seems weird this dude would fight with his wife and then go downstairs to kill the neighbor. Also unsettling that they believe he lead a life of hurting people. Glad he’s been dead 30 years.

Yes, Franklin Mass

Burlington isn’t know for having smart police chiefs. What a fucking idiot. Even if the statute of limitations is up or whatever (which I’m sure it’s not) that’s the dumbest answer ever.

I always park at riverside and take the green line in

I was born here to hippies who moved in before i was born. I grew up feeling like an outcast with all my friends whose families had deer camps shot guns rode snowmobiles. I try to have understanding for the newer transplants but it is very frustrating with housing and some development issues.

Actually, talking to our representatives CAN help. Hinesburg residents contacted town selectboard members and our senators and congressperson and this is the result - they're demanding answers from DeJoy. https://vtdigger.org/2023/02/17/vermonts-congressional-delegation-urges-top-us-postal-officials-to-address-statewide-mail-delays/

I had the same issue. Turns out someone stole my identity and was having all my mail rerouted. I will try to contact your post office and make sure a change of address hasn’t been put in under your name.

Don't bother with that dude you are trying to talk to. If you expose him he will just call you a troll and block you.

I don't disagree.

Well it's a good thing then that this post is calling for the guy's arrest and not to lose re-election to a select board seat. "It's not against the law" has got to be one of the corniest, laziest counters to any criticism. As if that's the only way to measure any situation.

There is not a train in Franklin vt. Is there a Franklin Mass?

and this is why I should check comment history before responding. Gotta stop feeding the trolls.

I totally agree and we need to do that. This is just an unplanned trip that snuck up on us. Haven't bought tickets yet, and probably won't because I don't see anyway she can get a valid ID this soon.

I'm not seeing it. Maybe it's all my white privilege. I agree about not hanging/displaying the single most divisive symbol in recent history in the center if town. As far as the main character - remember - it's not against the law to be dumb or lack the ability to articulate. The author of this article is clearly very easily triggered.

Burlington is voting an on independent review board with the power to investigate the police and people are losing their minds.

You're starting to lose me. As far as I know anti-discrimination laws cover everyone and not specific races. Are you in favor of giving preferential treatment to certain groups of people over others?

Edit: Since it seems you blocked me I'm guessing the answer is yes.

A number of CR parking lots are not MBTA controlled and not on this list. (e.g. Wachusett allows overnight parking)

You can park at Wachusett and catch the Fitchburg line. It's not the fastest way but I find it pretty convenient. $4/night parking and free on the weekends. No day limit as far as I've ever encountered, just prepay how long you think you'll be. I fly out of Logan using this parking lot.

This happens in Windham county too. Sometimes they just don’t have anyone to deliver.

Yea, let's treat everyone equally, after white people got a 200-year head start here. This "all lives matter" and "I don't see color" bullshit ignores the reality of the situation. It's great if you personally want to treat everyone equal. That's not how the world works. We have anti-discrimination laws because not everyone has such a rosy outlook. It's also used as cover by white people who don't want to address systemic racism and would rather play the "let's all get along" card like bigots are just going to change their tune if you're nice to them.

The way you presented his quote made it seem like you disagreed with his statement that you should treat everyone equally.

Whatever the outcome of this short-term issue, the smart option is to just have the 18-year old apply for a US Passport going forward. Will be good for 10 years.
