Auto delivery will never leave you in a situation where you’re going to run out if you’re a day or even a week late. Also not everyone has auto delivery.

This is the most prudent advice for this person at this point. I’d say it’s very vermont to not beat around the bush.

Love, Grampa

Now get off my lawn unless you’re gonna shovel.

Don’t think the issue was that he took a vacation. It’s that he didn’t warn customers so they could make prior arrangements for when he was gone. That’s kind of common courtesy.

If you think powerful psychedelics are and apples to apples comparison with cannabis, then I would doubt you have ever tried either.

Wee is not a psychedelic. The amount of THC you would have to consume to get the same effect as 2 grams of mushrooms is impossible and even then, the experience would be more akin to a bad trip.

People make their own decision. Very rarely are their cases of forced addiction and I don't know what angle you are playing at in terms of legalization b, but it will be a cold day in hell before I sat idly by while people tried to legalize things like heroin and coke because they're too lazy or scared to help the people who need it a do what needs to be done to help them. I agree you can treat opioid and alcohol addiction with a combination of psychedelics and therapy, but that should be a last case scenario and in heroin and alcohols my opinion in the best offence is a good defense and to stir people away from it at all cost staring at a young age. Thats the messages that should be in our classrooms. Not the ones we have now because they aren't working.

Sure, but it’s a job that can provide the savings to purchase a used snow blower, is my point. In another comment OP was complaining about working a low paying job that didn’t make that possible.

Me and my finance shoveled yesterday. Because our plow guy wasn’t coming until today, part of being a responsible adult and parent is not relying on anyone for anything. I’m sure there are very charitable people in Vermont that will help you out…. Posting this on your towns community Facebook page would get you results I bet. More importantly when you get out of your stuck situation go to the hardware store buy at least a shovel. It sucks that’s why most of us who work in this weather and then come home and move the snow themselves hate this season. Lol

LOL I shoveled my 70 meter driveway today because I had the day off work and wanted to get out and enjoy the sunshine, and I have a skidsteer parked in the garage. Hopefully OP has figured out their dilemma and realizes a vast majority of Vermonters are able to be self sufficient in all expected conditions, like sugar storms in mid March. Keeping fuel tanks full, having water and dry food on hand, shovels, generators, firewood, et all are standard operating procedures for winter in VT. Also, getting out and trying goes a long way, I had two guys stop when they saw me shoveling to see I wanted them to swipe the driveway.

Well I have shoveled while wearing babies on my back many times. (For real actually. Gotta do what you gotta do but obviously not everyone is physically capable of doing that.) You can also bundle them up and put them in a sled and let them watch. It’s not that cold out.

I never said most people outsource plowing. I said most people are used to dealing with snow.

What I was implying was that without someone to plow, most people would decide to shovel themselves in an emergency.

You're reading into what I said incorrectly.
