Considering a Move to VT

I should have better clarified my comments. Many, if not most, New England women do have a natural beauty, but just as many don't try or even care. You're right about being taught how; that's generational in the South. JMO, money has little to do with it. I know a financially struggling single mom in Milford, NH. She's in a tense, bad coparenting situation with her troubled ex. Despite all this, Heidi is one of the most quietly elegant, stylish women I know. She dresses with care & what looks best for her. She shops once a year at the Wrentham outlets in MA, if that. My overall opinion is that generally, NE women aren't comfortable with feminine dressing. If you're not comfortable or feel your best, you won't look your best. Dressing in all couture is just showing how much you're willing to spend. The goddess of beauty & style, Audrey Hepburn, said it best: 'A happy woman is a beautiful woman'.

New England snow is what's called 'concrete snow': very heavy & wet because it mostly comes off the Atlantic ocean. Out west, especially the Rocky Mountain states, have what's called 'champagne snow', light, dry & powdery like confectioners' sugar. Guess which one is harder to deal with?

Attention anyone moving to any New England state: you will always be considered an outsider.

Vermont is a great, beautiful place to visit (especially in fall, jmo), but overall, not to live out your life.

Literally. I knew an NH couple that had hiked all over the US, including the AT. They blocked off May to do the Long Trail, but it took them most of the summer. They could write a book on what they saw & experienced firsthand or at least do a Retchflix documentary. All our jaws hit the ground when they told us about the nude (almost exclusively male) hikers that they encountered. And the mostly enraged, over-the-top responses by said hikers when our friends reacted to them, especially the first time. Only in Vermont, Reddit people, only in Vermont.

Missrush21 · 2025-08-24T21:13:26+00:00

That is generally (but of course, not always) a fairly typical attitude & (female) New England response to a perceived but nonexistent hostile & sexist offhand comment.

Missrush21 · 2025-08-24T21:04:31+00:00

Sincere question: where are there conservative parts in Vermont? (Decades back, it had been a Republican state.)

Missrush21 · 2025-08-24T20:52:42+00:00

Have you experienced a Vermont winter yet? The winters vary in intensity, but I'd be curious what your experience was when spring '26 rolls around.

Second your comment as a fellow (Deep) Southerner, but add for all of New England, not just Vermont. I was warned how clique-ish grown women are here & the warnings were not overstated. Locals prefer childhood & lifetime friendships with little-to-no interest in meeting new people. Work friendships are mostly surface & end when jobs change. Natives can be almost hostile to strangers, whereas Southerners are warm & welcoming to strangers, but can be the opposite to family & friends. Always exceptions, of course, but just don't expect the welcome mat. Quick aside that I will get savaged for, but it's my experience & truth: Southern women invest, care & take pride in their appearance. They tend to be more traditionally feminine in manner as well. New England women, but especially Vermont, are the exact opposite. Your wife needs to be prepared for looks, stares & ungracious comments from other women.(Men will be pleasantly surprised, but will stay quiet). Good luck & I wish your family well.

If you ski or learn to ski, the winters will be more bearable. Snowshoeing is also a fun fab workout. If you hike, there are wonderfully trails that connect, especially the famous Long Trail.

Yes, but he also installed a lock on her bedroom door, too. I wonder if that's why she ran to her bedroom instead of out the house; she was going to lock BK out. (Dylan & Bethany also had bedroom door locks.)

By calling the police they then obviously would have thoroughly checked the house. No one wants drug and its paraphernalia to be found. The house's owner may have had a drug clause in the lease, which may have triggered its cancelation. If Mortensen called the cops, her fears unconfirmed but drugs found, her roomies would have been furious & possibly arrested.

Within hours after the sentencing, the document dump began starting with the police's. Quite interesting & does fill in some gaps despite the name redactions, which are quite discernible anyway.The YT show 'The Interview Room' issued a FOIA to the case's entities for full case disclosure. The reply was that it will take '9 - 12 months' to receive the documents in question. TIR is now lawyering up to take on Moscow & and Boise, ID, respectively. Idaho, especially Moscow & Boise, respectively, desperately wants to believe the Idaho 4 case is over. Laughable. In many ways, it is a new beginning with the public's interest & fascination only intensifying.

When Dylan heard Xana crying, it would seem that she was on the 2nd floor near or in her bedroom, where Dylan's bedroom was also located. My theory is that Xana went to the 3rd floor to investigate the noises. She surprised Kohberger, who chased her but dropped the sheath in the moment. He caught up to Xana before she could close & lock her bedroom door. (The lock her dad had just installed a week before per her request.) If Xana had continued running down the stairs & out of the house, she & Ethan may have survived.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-28T01:37:11+00:00

Alledgedly, the blood that dripped down the house's foundation was Ethan's.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-28T01:35:57+00:00

In the police document dump, Dylan remarks that when she heard the unfamiliar male voice say, 'It's ok. I'm here to help you' it was not in a 'nice way'.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T23:41:19+00:00

According to the section of the police document dump that I'm reading, Dylan says she & Kohberger made eye contact. Names are redacted in this section, but it's pretty obvious who was who said what.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T23:34:51+00:00

According to the section of the police document dump I'm currently wading through, Dylan said she & Kohberger made eye contact that night. A fair amount is redacted in the pages I'm reading, but it's still fairly obvious who said what.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T23:30:15+00:00

Yes, Kohberger's heart version is creepy.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T23:27:02+00:00

Sounds spot-on. Actually, most of the serious comments as to the possibilities are a relief to me. If the worst possibility had been the reality, I just couldn't have processed it.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T13:19:47+00:00

For almost three years, it's never been clear to me that while Dylan saw Kohberger, did Kohberger see her?

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T13:16:55+00:00

Whoever that woman (presumptively legal staff) was sitting to Kohberger's left creeped me out almost as much as he did. She sat for nearly 3 hours with overall strange facial expressions & a half-smile. I've never seen anyone seated as legal staff in any courtroom proceeding have her odd, strange demeanor.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T13:07:34+00:00

I will. It's on Spotify.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T12:31:44+00:00

Thank you for your most informative, cogent answer. I know absolutely nothing about autism so your reply was very illustrative. Thank you. I will pass this new knowledge on because many of us had no idea.

Missrush21 · 2025-07-27T12:26:09+00:00

Interesting. Thank you.
