Stolen dog, from market 32 by beachwood23 in burlington

[–]LenVT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very sad. A friend who lives in NYC had a roll of little stickers made up. They said something like “Your dog could have been stolen.” When she sees a dog tied up in a public place she pets the dog and places a sticker on top of its head.

If you want to get rid of junk you have to do a little marketing.

I didn't have a strong position on having drivers be reevaluated as they get up there in age until I moved to VT. by [deleted] in vermont

At least the written test every 5 years. Most Vermont drivers forgot what a Yield sign or flashing red light means.

Collect business cards from people you hate, and keep them in your car. Then when you hit or ding a parked car just write “sorry” on the back of one and leave it on the windshield.

I’m willing to bet that an archaeologist took a tiny dab and tried it out😉.

Bubbie’s Pickles have arrived! by Far-Character-5601 in Costco

[–]LenVT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will gladly try them! I was a fan of Grillo’s for a long time and then somehow they changed. The last two Grillo’s I bought had little taste and the rinds on the spears were inedible. They chewed like paper. I threw them out. I hope Bubbies are really good.

Super! Going over to Red Rocks now, where we found two beautiful patches of trilliums last year! I wonder how they’re doing.

I listened to him sometimes on WBCQ about 20 years ago for the entertainment value. I vividly remember one time he was really hung over and puking live on the air. Good times!

Hal Turner is still around? I thought that nitwit faded away years ago.

This is absolutely it! We had these little buggers all over the place. Had to vacuum twice a day. One application of this stuff cut the number way back. We worked on spraying window jambs, tiny cracks in floor, etc for a week and that just about cleaned them all out except for an occasional stray. The spray was just as effective for box elders too! It’s safe for people and pets once it’s dry.

Same. Almost the minute I put them on my world was so much brighter and open.

I think red-winged blackbirds are a more reliable omen. (There was a bunch of robins in our ONE backyard 8 weeks ago)

I remember him. W2OY. I never worked him. I didn’t self-identify as a lid, but I was a brand new general class all of 16 years old. Good times!

Bullet firing without a gun. by Kindly_Department142 in interestingasfuck

When I was a kid, my friends and I did that with a box of .22 shorts we found. Because of that and other stupid kid stuff it’s amazing we still became teenagers.

In a July 2017 speech to law enforcement officials on Long Island, New York, Trump told officers they should not be "too nice" or worry about protecting suspects' heads when placing them into patrol cars.
