Old school geosync satellite internet is 42,000km up. The difference is clear.

well, maybe I'd at least save in terms of homeowners' insurance. last year I paid $4K, this year I'm paying $6K.

Just leave him. /s

omg how do you avoid getting shot? are there signs to tell you where the hunting territory is?

Problem is that neither 158 nor Family Table even comes close to what Jana's was. I fucking moved to Jeffersonville at one point just because of Jana's - just two years or so before they closed.

I’m straight but both of my kids are exploring who they are. The communities and schools here are super inclusive. There are some redder areas that will be less friendly - but even in those, if one of you are able to join the volunteer fire/ems service it will go a long way to build respect even with the silly trumpers/don’t tread on me crowd.

Something I was not prepared for here was the hunting. My problem, for sure, but hearing gunfire almost every day when I lived in the sticks was traumatic for me. I’m much happier now in a little town, and ironically my kids love it as they can walk about and have fun with their buddies.

I have gay family members in VT. They love it and it seems VT is very gay friendly, notwithstanding rednecks scattered about, but there’s no state immune to ignorance and hate. What I like most about Vermonters’ attitude toward the LGBT community is that you wouldn’t even know it’s a thing, it’s “normal,” really. I see what you mean about what is happening in Florida, and the movement toward fascist ideologies is definitely troubling. I think you’d feel right at home in VT. On a separate note, covid brought people from NYC and CT to VT in droves, and property values are still nuts. Anything “affordable” (under $300k) is a probably a fixer upper. I know FL real estate is sky high as well, just thought I’d throw that in, lest you think it’s cheaper in VT

Winter is scary but what is happening in Florida is scarier. You will find Vermont is the polar opposite of DeSantis' agenda as far as queer acceptance, abortion rights and education. But the cost of living is high and there is a housing crunch pretty much all over the state right now. And on the other hand, you'll love the people and sense of community. Good luck!

came for bikini pics, left disappointed.

Cafe HOT is so good. Good food, coffee, aesthetics, staff. Friendly, helpful, welcoming. Interesting food that is also very familiar.

Graceys on Williston Rd is Queen of the Simons.

Cost of living here is very high, but if you can afford it, I believe the quality of life is worth the expense. I live in a small but very liberal town and my kids have several classmates being raised by same sex couples. My kids have LGBTQIA friends who are able to be out safely, and my middle schooler belongs to her school's pride alliance. There are two local school principals who are a married lesbian couple (at different schools, obviously). Not everywhere in VT will be like that though, so definitely research first. Maybe take a family vacation up here and travel around getting a feel for different towns?

thanks for sharing your experience. I think if you're not gonna plan to be pregnant or send your kids to public school, Florida is probably okay, but I'm in a stage of life where I do not feel comfortable living here any longer.

Almost sounding human.

Vermont as a state government is pretty protective of gay rights. Most communities also are very accepting. I fit the B in LGBTQ acronym, and raised my oldest child in a good sized lesbian community, but we also lived in a pretty accepting average Vermont rural community, where we raised our kids. And that was more than 25 years ago. People have grown increasingly accepting since then.

Like anyplace, there are some jerks. But I completely understand your fear in Florida. Ironically, some of my dear lesbian friends with whom I raised our kids have retired to Florida.

But what does this have to do with Alexina Federhen?

Sorry to hear that! I like both but the sunset has a lot of good memories for me :)

Go to Franklin county and go to Chester’s in Fairfield, worth the drive. Cash only and freshly made bread and baked goods for a great price

Great thank you !

The grill formerly Ricks Grill in Milton actually has really good breakfast. The home fries are really good 👍🏻

You're right!

Thank you 😊
