Emily's Bridge? Considering the backstory, maybe not.

Somewhere on the Bingham Falls loop or Sterling Gorge Falls trails? Or are they trying for a "Vermonty" town location?

I have a Republican acquaintance that lives near Milton. He loves to go off and talk about how his daughter wakes at 4am for hockey practice, and although she only plays 1-2 minutes a game, she’s more dedicated than most kids cause she wakes at 4am for practice and then skates on their home rink after school.

One of these days, I’m going to snap, “she’s not special, every person on the team is doing what she does and more. Some have to work after school. Some don’t have the privilege of a private skate rink. Lastly, working with less than she has, nearly the entire team gets more on game skate time than your “hard working” daughter so that should tell you something about her. “

Buy them a dedicated pair of shoes as a gift. Keep an eye on Muck's website, they have sales all the time. Get a pair of the lower Mucks, put the YakTrax on em and leave em on and put them next to the door so they can just slip em on when they have to go outside.

The thing with expense is that yeah, it might be a few bucks but....Still fuckin' cheaper than copays and deductibles if they take a digger and break their shit.

I only feel elderly sometimes, but my dog is getting up there and he slipped down the stairs this winter. Now he has PTSD and freezes at the top step. I have to Sherpa him down one step at a time. So I'm here to offer what we've tried and hopefully get advice, too.

We use pet friendly ice melt and that works well, but I'm thinking of adding a bristle mat at the bottom of the stairs where the ice really gathers. It's grass and I don't want to salt the earth but it can get dangerous after shoveling and refreezing.

Do the bristle outdoor mats and shingles get icy, too?

I hate Scott, and he’s honestly only playing lip service to being “not like the others”. Sure, he’s not actively advocating for hate against other humans, but I consider that the bare minimum for being allowed to interact with society.
