Hey - some of us olds like irony ok? ;-)

Would your friend wear ice cleats to and from the car/mailbox? Might assist in reducing slipping and is an affordable option. Ski poles to boot.

Definitely doesn't solve the ice problem, but might help until you do.

Now do schools.

How dare you question your doctor? She went to college and got a degree! She is an expert!

Not sure if this helps at all but in my town (Londonderry) the delinquent tax amount is really high for 2022 compared to 2021 and prior. I guess because of the influx of people that moved in or maybe not? Total amount for 2022 was almost 192k. In 2021 it was 43k. That's quite a jump.

My teen was suffering from an ED and had to drop out of school last year and it took 2 months to find her a counselor with help from her pcp who treated her in the meantime. No one was taking new patients. The one who finally took her did not specialize in ED. We called every mental health provider who does specialize within driving distance and none were taking new patients.

People paying at the last minute each year shouldn’t make the outstanding amount for the last fiscal year suddenly 5x higher than it was each of the prior 3 fiscal years.

Maybe I’m looking at it wrong, but it seems to me that the $ outstanding in each row is for each fiscal year, not a running total. The total outstanding delinquent for all 4 years is indicated at the bottom: $15,676. So the outstanding delinquent $ for ‘21-‘22 is around 5x what it was each of the previous 3 years, isn’t it? That doesn’t seem odd?

As for “based on 3 mil collected”, I would imagine that the total amount of taxes levied by the town didn’t change drastically from prior years.

Thanks! I’m excited to get up there!

keeping an eye on this. got a flyer on my door saying it was coming, with the prices. almost half what i pay for xfinity.

I grew up with stairs like this. Sand and salt were commonly used and the stairs don’t last.

I wish there was a low-key way to heat them like the rear window of a car.

My gastro doc dropped me. Was considered a new patient as I had not been in in the last year. Not taking new patients. Ridiculous! Now looking for a new one. Got referral to Dartmouth , but nobody calls back. This is why I end up in the ER.

Try Four Seasons Dermatology, they're booking really far out right now but they have an online booking system and you can check for available appointments every day. I was originally scheduled for June and managed to find an available appointment last week.

Edit: woops thought this was the Burlington subreddit. Depends on where you are, but they have several locations. skinvt.com

I wouldn’t turn my wife in. Just sayin’

I’m with this. Leave enough salt out to KILL the ice

User name checks out

I'd be curious to see the details of any payments or deposits from around the time that taxes were due, and also around anytime that they were eventually paid. This seems very peculiar to me. (I work in mortgage)

Did you all know that one shitty software and tax company has a monopoly on all of the towns in Vermont? They are the only game in town, and they actually have a lot of power over what happens in towns. Every town clerk with only a few exceptions uses their shitty software to run their towns.

Side note, anyone ever heard of Victory Vermont?

I’m an ER nurse and part of the reason our waiting times are so long right now is because people are coming to us instead of waiting months and months to get an appointment somewhere. I can’t blame them: most have little health literacy and are genuinely scared something is really wrong with them. I discharge multiple people a day who I tell to follow up with their primary care within a week, and they say they already have an appointment but it’s 1-4 months from now. The whole system is really broken which is only making more and more healthcare workers leave the profession, snowballing the decline. Honestly I don’t see it getting better at any point in the near future. That being said, for those of you who are having to wait months for an appointment at a specialist or even your primary care, don’t be afraid to be the squeaky wheel. Call once a week to see if there are cancellations and whether you can get in any sooner.

ETA: the ER is a place that diagnoses and tests conditions that are emergent and life threatening. If your symptoms have been happening for days, weeks, or months, and are not progressing quickly, please try to make an appointment with your primary provider or go to an urgent care. You will be waiting in the waiting room of an ER for hours and you most likely won’t get the answers you’re hoping for.

My doctor retired over a year ago and I still haven't found a new one. -_-

Oh I will never take it out on the workers. I have inside eyes. I'm married to an OR nurse. I don't get why UVMMC is lowballing permanent staff, but doesn't flinch when paying their army of travel nurses $3000-$5000 per week each.

Because.

UVMMC could give all of their nurses a $5/hr raise and still pay far less than other Vermont hospitals…. Soooo, not surprised there. That’s the trend in most academic hospitals though. You “get” to work there…. Which is total BS.

And totally agree- this is the problem everywhere. Same issues in Florida, Texas, all over the country…

I’m an ER nurse, though left the field last year after enduring yet another attempt at assault by a patient for the umpteenth time while 22 weeks pregnant. I still work in nursing, but do not provide direct patient care. I know everyone is frustrated with the healthcare system, but know that your providers are just as frustrated. Try not to take it out on them. :)
