Reply to Recommendation or Warnings for Cross Country Movers? by kellogsmalone

Not positive, but DO NOT use "Interstate Moving and Relocation Group" - we used them based on some positive reviews and it was an absolute shit-show. This may not be the most efficient option, but I would look into hiring a local moving company in each state to load/unload a truck or POD. They will likely be much easier to deal with in terms of scheduling and price. Avoid brokers at all costs though

Reply to What are your favorite board games to play when you're stuck inside during cold Vermont winters? by Backyard_Games

Not necessarily board games, but Boggle, Bananagrams, Scattergories, and GOLF (the card game) are my favorites.

I remember loving Pass the Pig when I was a kid but I don’t remember how to play

There’s another one but I can’t think of the name… I haven’t played it in so long. what’s that board game where you’re on teams of two and there are 4 categories (I think it’s art, science, and two other things) and you do things like drawing and charades and puzzles??? It’s driving me crazy that I can’t think of what this game is called

Also it’s my lifelong dream to play CharDeeMacDennis

A good place to start is Move Buddha they have decent information on a variety of movers, cross country, local DIY, and so on. Back this by checking on reviews, one of their budget friendly recommendations (Safeway) has had a ton of bad reviews over the last 8 months.

That being said, your major carriers like American Van Lines or North American moving services are not scams.

We Just got Shadows In The Woods. IT'S AWESOME. The board has 3D objects on it and one person plays as a candle, the other players can only move in shadows cast by said candle. As the candle moves around the board the shadows shift and the other players need to change strategy as they try to cross the board. It's a quick simple game but its super cool and really visually moody since you have to play in low light. Hands down one of the most unique games I've played in a long time.

I agree. I have been working remotely for years. My last job search, I was qualified and the recruiter wanted me, but the client would not hire anyone in Vermont. That was the first time that had happened. It got me thinking: is this a sign of the future?

So, I agree. Best to push at the national level.
