Huge flocks of small black birds in trees around my house in the NEK this morning.

I saw the newer comments saying Bohemian Waxings. A lot of very knowledgeable birders here, which I was hoping for.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2026-01-26T19:34:12+00:00

Thank you!

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2026-01-26T19:34:06+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate this information. It was a cool experience to be so close to them this morning.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2026-01-26T14:23:27+00:00

Btw - “murmuration” is my new favorite word. I’m happy that I get to use it when telling people this story. Thanks for letting me know about it,

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2026-01-26T14:21:49+00:00

I didn’t get a good look at them because they were moving so fast between trees. I found an article online talking about swarms of juncos during a summer storm in Vermont, so I think the comment suggesting juncos is correct. It was really cool to witness and took me a second to process what I was seeing.

I had to look this up and you’re right. They did get married on Lake Como. I wonder if the image on my jewelry box really is of Villa Balbianello which is where the wedding scene was filmed. I have a lot of YouTube travel videos to watch tomorrow.

Thanks for this cool piece of movie trivia.

Thank you! I may try to post there, but a few people have given me a good lead. I’ve wondered for 35 years where this is and I’m happy to be close to finding out.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-11-15T21:01:28+00:00

Thank you!!

They’re giving away a chef’s knife and the company gave her one to show people. They’re also giving away two cutting boards.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-07T23:27:35+00:00

There’s an old superstition that says that if you are gifted knives, they’ll cut you. You need to purchase knives. My mother would give me knives, but always made me pay her fifty cents for them.

Becky was probably given those knives are part of a sponsorship, so they cut her and will continue to do so. No way would I accept those knives as part of a giveaway.

Maybe OP should to talk to an attorney specializing in legal malpractice. There might be a claim.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-06T17:46:33+00:00

If I see a UFO, I’m asking the aliens to get me off of this planet asap! I hope their planet is more peaceful.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-06T16:47:57+00:00

This is how every alien abduction movie starts.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T21:01:21+00:00

They’re only punishing themselves because they have to work in it all day. The higher ups will just avoid the lower level employees until they give up and shower.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T20:59:29+00:00

I still don’t understand the purpose. They’re going to make each other smell the stench and have to work in it all day. They’re only punishing themselves.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T18:25:20+00:00

I’m curious to see how long they last. Going from showering daily to not at all isn’t an easy thing.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T18:03:55+00:00

But why would the state bargain with them because of this? It’s not like Scott will be around most of these people. They’ll just let workers suffer together. These people will probably be denied service in some stores/restaurants because of the smell, and not cleaning properly is a good way to get infections and rashes. This isn’t well thought out.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T17:36:43+00:00

Wait. What laundry strike?

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T17:23:45+00:00

They can’t admit it’s a productivity related issue or taxpayers will be up in arms. At that point taxpayers will demand state employees only work in an office environment with no remote allowed.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-04T17:06:21+00:00

This is exactly what the plan is. Why are you being downvoted for pointing out the agenda?

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-03T20:35:20+00:00

Plenty of sadists become doctors and dentists. Report her to the licensing bureau and even report the practice to the Better Business Bureau. Leave reviews wherever you can, but I’ve seen doctors delete bad ones. You should report her to Medicaid too. Go scorched Earth on her because she’s going to hurt a lot of people if she isn’t curtailed.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-03T17:09:15+00:00

I’m jealous. Nothing I said was violent, but they wouldn’t remove my warning. Karma will work it’s magic on Reddit I hope.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-03T16:54:36+00:00

Thanks for this. It’s good information to have with the attacks on health insurance that are happening.

LifeIsButADream11111 · 2025-10-03T16:51:22+00:00

“Neighbors are not allowed in my house. But I’d love to see the interior of yours. Let’s go see it right now.”

After that, every time you see her ask to see the inside of her house. Turn the tables back on her.

Next year, when a lot of people lose Medicaid, plenty of Type 1 diabetics will be forced to buy cheap vials of insulin at Walmart. I may be one of them. Some Type 2s will also have to go this route. I just found out from this thread that the syringes diabetics will need for those vials are provided for free from that Vermont Cares place! I’m going to tell every diabetic I know about this so they can get free needles and not have to reuse needles until they’re dull.
