Nothing says happy bday ‘murica like celebrating a month late and advertising it emphatically with AI slop. wtf Milton.

Cool that it’s about veterans but also doesn’t really make sense. Veterans didn’t build America 250yesrs ago. Every day people (who were maybe in a militia) did.

This is just weird all around

hi! our caterer just canceled on us 🤠 for our wedding next year. she said an “important event came up and she’s no longer available” after we already signed a contract and sent our deposit (we’re getting it back, but still disappointing to go back to square one)

what we liked about this caterer is she was extremely adorable. 170 people was no more than $5k… which i know will be rare to find.

our wedding is in franklin county, our vendors are mostly in northern vermont. anyone have any recs?

I’ve been busy with cancer & other issues, turns out the fucking assholes sold my unit because the card didn’t go through, even though there’s plenty of funds. There are some important to me items I’d appreciate back. Thank you

I drive around the state for work and have been really wanting a slushie during my drives especially with the warmer weather. For some reason it seems like nobody has them anymore. I’ve tried like 4 different gas stations so far. So if anyone has any gas stations they know in Vermont (or western NH because I occasionally drive there too) with slushie machines I’d love to know where they are (bonus points if they have blue ones). Thanks in advance!

Vermont has rocks, a lot of them, when the rivers and lakes go low, it seems that is all there is, and of course, boulders and ridge lines abound. So far, simple white quartz, schist, gneiss, granite, marble, shale is all I have come across. Are there any recommendations for hounding some more interesting specimens? If it were not for all of the rocks, Vermont would be as flat as Ohio.

Hi! Possibly planning a 3-4 day trip to nyc but wondering if the Amtrak station in Rutland is safe to park overnight and is it free? I can’t find any other info on the website besides it only saying “overnight parking available” thank you !

Does anyone in Chittenden, Addison, or Rutland county have a Milady Standard Barbering textbook they're willing to donate or sell for cheap? I'm on a very tight budget.

I completed my hours for licensure crossover and would like to take my written and practical exam this summer. If you took your barber exam in the last 6 months, did you use a mannequin or live model? For straight razor shaving, did you use a mannequin or live model? Did your razor have a blade in it or was it a mock demo of hand positioning, shave pattern and sanitation? Any tips or hot takes are welcome! I took my Cosmo exam 23 years ago and am definitely sweating lol.

Hate it or love it, at least some private equity is being invested in this absolutely beautiful white elephant of a property.

Hey foodies.... We've been in the Vermont pizza scene for nearly 20 years, and our family has been in the food business for at least 5 generations throughout New England and Italy. Mostly behind the scenes providing dough and related products to Vermont's pizzerias and schools. If you haven't seen our products you've probably had them without realizing it.

We are preparing to open pizza la taglio (by the cut) for lunch at our dough shop in Williston, and we're super excited for that direct to consumer connection. We want you to feel like you're walking into a forni in Roma.

All that being said, we want your opinions, ideas, and feedback. Things like... Do we charge by weight like in Italy, or by the slice like the norm here? Do you have favorite toppings that are hard to find? How long are you willing to wait for a great cut (from stepping in the door to food in your hand)? Do you have related questions for us?

Thanks in advance for your input! -- Dan from Slice of Vermont.

I have just accepted a nursing job at UVMMC in Burlington. The offer letter mentioned a pre-health screening. At this point, I will most likely still be positive for THC, as the screening would be in about a month. I am wondering whether I need to stop my cannabis usage now for the drug screening, or whether the offer will be rescinded if there is a positive in that section. I had heard that they do not mind a positive for THC, but I want to verify.

I would appreciate extra information from any nurses or folks who know nurses who have gone through the onboarding process in the past few years!
