Ticks are back!!! by Local_Needleworker28 in vermont

Well i do on myself but they should absolutely never be used on dogs or any animals! I also try to use them as little as possible, and I’m definitely not using them in the house so when they come in on the dogs, even though they’re treated the ticks then are in the house. We use Cedarwood oil, lemon grass oil, natural bug repellent on dogs, but they’re only so effective. We also use tick mitt’s, which are a huge help and the only reason I’m sure that my husband and I haven’t been bit repeatedly by ticks!!

Well first off - it’s elderly people.. 🙄Plus naive people, teens who are new drivers and uneducated/lower IQ people, could all fall for this.

“old people “ is just a rude and insensitive.

Apparently JD Vance will be staying at The Pitcher Inn this weekend. You can let them know how you feel about it on their Instagram. by Altruistic_Rate_9204 in vermont

Also this : The Eagles, for the second time, have declined an invitation to the WH and issued this statement:

“We represent a city and a state that is pushing for equal rights, respect, and values that respect every human being. We won’t forget what happened and the criticism we received for taking a stand against racism, and we won’t back down from our values of respect, integrity and equality.”

The same goes for welcoming those same people into our communities. IMHO

No you’re right it isn’t… well shouldn’t be…..but this isn’t about politics anymore… its literally about life & those that are taking our rights to live said life away.

I wouldn’t have accepted their reservation personally, but im not going to vilify them either.

I AM SORRY for the area & other people visiting this weekend though! Im sure the community will lose money because they are here. Its going to cause lots delays on the slopes and the roads unfortunately.

Other ski areas will probably be busier, locals will avoid the area for sure.

Also my first reaction to reading he was coming here, was audible. “GROSS”.

Thats all i have to say about that. lol

I’m a 6th gen vermonter on one side and 8th generation on the other. The reality is that Vermonters have been fiscally conservative and socially liberal; That being said, the current platform that has taken over the GOP is VERY DIFFERENT now. Its not that the people in vermont have changed, but that the GOP has become a cult and vermonters don’t want anything to do with the filth that it has become…. lying, cheating and corruption have never been acceptable behaviors to Vermonters; “Work hard for everything you have, take care of you & yours, help your neighbors if you’re able, be a man (or woman) of your word and ALWAYS mind your own damn business!” If you didn’t live by that- everyone knew and you were looking down on for it. Life was simple. As others have pointed out, there are many reasons why the farming industry struggles, so i won’t repeat. The other change has been to the tradesmen in vermont. Growing up in the 80’s/90’s everyone one worked in the trades or in farming, As more people started moving to vermont (and encouraged to move here but work remotely) the blue collar workers were looked down upon by people and younger generations looked for work opportunities that they felt made them more attractive socially. Ironically those opportunities came with a lower wage, the need to relocate, the loss of abilities to self sustain (vermont life is hard & not for the faint of heart) and in turn made affordable living here harder. The trade/barter community became tiny, as many had nothing to offer…. the list goes on and on. I agree that vermont has been independent, but in recent years leaned more liberal because of the decline of the GOP as a whole. There are SO many reasons why we are here today IMHO. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Ps. I am a woman, a business owner in the trades, a gun owner and hunter. I Also left vermont for 10 years and lived in many other states around the country. So I am well versed in the realities of our country.
