You know, MahJon? Jonny Be Rude? Jean Val Jon? Jon Up On? Long Jon Milfer? You're messing with me if you don't know him.

You guys don't know Jonny? Jonny wanzer? Jonny on the block? Downtown Jonny? Jonboy? Jonbug? Jonny Jonny Jam So Funny? How you not know this dude?

We've been playing a lot of wingspan, carcassonne, forbidden sky, and hi-ho-cherry-o.

Ain't nobody saying guy can't take a vacation. But not telling your clients that you're leaving is a major dick move. I have no doubt OP would be better prepared if they'd had even a few days notice.

Condensed humors? Boiled blood?

Pancakes on Saturday morning sure gonna taste a little different this week.

I'm not here to kink shame OP's fetish for maple baked beans on a bus. I think it's repulsive, i mean, who eats cooked beans in any scenario, but I'm not gonna yuk their yum.

You eat raw unflavored beans on public transportation, too??!! I never thought I'd find anyone else who shared my kink.

Having been a ski instructor, the number one thing i advise adults is to check their ego at the door. You'll learn way faster and have a bunch more fun if you're not worried about how you look. Beginner skiers look goofy, it can't be helped. But laughing at yourself goes a long way, and you'll rapidly improve so you look slightly less goofy.

Have fun and tip your ski instructor!

What snow?

Either the friend is racist or implying that there are racists in Vt. Both are probably true. I'm white, so can't attest to much, the racism I've seen here is well-meaning white people being racist. I'm sure there are horror stories of much worse (and there are plenty of news articles confirming the more overt racism, see Kiah Morris for example).

Vermont is a very white state. Once outside the greater Burlington area, racial diversity nosedives. If you are people of color, consider whether you'd want to be one of the few families of color in whatever Vermont town you choose. Most folks would welcome you with open arms (though slowly, as they do with everyone), but they're might be a few that really suck.

Hey thanks, definitely brighter days ahead.

Definitely a fun type 2 scenario.

We've got an excellent woodstove and small and mighty little generator, so we kept the fridge mostly cold (we froze big yogurt containers to add to the cold mass of the fridge). We are lucky to have these things, for sure. There are still people who won't get power back until Friday or maybe even Saturday

Yeah, on top of it all we're all sick, we were taking care of two neighbors houses while they were gone, my wife's parents (who were gonna host Christmas) for covid, and we had to cancel our semi-annual boxing day party with good friends. So we were a little funned out.

True, but it ain't got cliffs, and pisgah's are fantastic.

If you're up for an hour hike/snowshoe, then the top of Mt pisgah (by lake Willoughby) is the roof of Vermont, you can see forever and ever. It's my favorite place in vt. Would be totally worth it - put in a good hike, earn the view, and get the girl. Happy to give more details if you're interested.

Be sure to swing by the blackbird bistro or Parker pie to celebrate after!

Ya, i was a vtel stan for years. A few months ago, our internet started cutting out three or four times a day. Annoying, but restarting the receiver always does the trick. Finally called them about it and their solution was for us to pay them 15-20 dollars more a month for new equipment. We're about to get CUD fiber optic running through here And this is how you want to compete with that. Lulz, gtfo.

Idk if making maple syrup in your dooryard counts as a home good, but Vermont evaporator company makes some pretty awesome products!

Check the Northwoods stewardship center and the Hulbert outdoor center (though this one isn't in nek). You could also go on the SOLO website and see if they have anything listed.

Broncos. But i don't watch football much anymore.

Oh goodness, no, we're not bar hopping, just going to one place on the way to the airport, and i probably won't even have a drink. I appreciate your concern though, good looking out!

Absolutely, and I'll lay the blame on him for vetoing so many bills that would help Vermonters.

Thanks for sharing this, i didn't have the wherewithal to record all the crappy things he had done as governor to answer another comment. Sure, did fine in the pandemic, but also still sucks.
