For some clearly misguided reason, I thought that Vermont was different from other places. As you describe above, clearly it is not.

Sorry you are going through this ignorance; because ignorance is what it is.

Did something specific occur to precipitate this run of redneck recklessness? You must live among the only passel of American rednecks without their own reality show on TV right now . . .

Yes, but it isn't recent. You need to understand how these people think. You get here, they are all smiles and "we are very liberal" (while they start the clock on getting rid of you with several options). A year or so goes by.

You ask why there isn't much diversity here and they claim it's the weather. When you punch through that false logic pointing out high diversity in other places with worse weather, they say that people get bored and move away.

After you have been here SIX to SEVEN years, they get more "active" in a passive aggressive kind of way. Cops start stopping you for no reason. Neighbors turn their heads away from your house as they drive by. The park management starts to "clear the "excess foliage between your property and everyone elses while claiming that those with hedges are "grandfathered" and YOU can't do it. 

My wife looks like a native American. I look more or less French Canadian but my surname is bad news. And so on and so forth.

THERE IS AREASON why, after 250 years the least diverse state in the union is Vermont. THey are EXPERTS at closing employment doors, land use opportunities, quality of life, the silent treatment and low key (and high key as in incarceration when possible) harassment.

I like the weather FORK THEM!

One more thing about Vermonters: I actually LIKE the way they treat each other. It's their absolutely closed mind as to outsiders that is their main failing. You see, to them, I'm supposed to have a junked car with beaver tails, a Mexican piņata, some bright colored flags and whatnot, 4 or five "tenants" stuffed in the trailer who wear loud clothes, play salsa music at all hours and hate to work while planning day and night to bang the virginal maids of Vermont ("virginal" before 12 or so but NOT MUCH LATER. The women here are **** AND aggressive - the reverse of the stereotype) and ruin the gene pool. The gene pool is seriously inbred and quite ruined at present, according to medical doctors in Vermont who have warned that more outside gene mixing is needed than the French-Canadian plus Irish mix (low and middle class) as well as the richy rich (English descended and a sprinking of Germans that ALL keep to their clans) that has produced a pack of wily leprechauns AND genetic deficiencies and inherited propensity to certain immune diseases and certain cancers.

But they still stubbornly cling to their idiotic concepts of "racial" purity in direct rejection of medical science. They are breeding themselves to stupidity and disease. But they sure do love and take care of each other well. I like their cooperation and willingness to aid each other in need. I also like the way they respect the staid nature of Vermonters that don't utter more than a sentence or two a YEAR in public. I'm the same way. The problem is that when I DO THAT, I must be weird or hiding something because it just ain't RIGHT for a Hispanic to act like a Vermonter.

I like the weather. F U C K THEM!

You deserve a better deal, and better neighbors.

Your situation mirrors the corporate environments to the extent that in many corporate cultures, open conflict is frowned upon, so people resort to passive aggressive means to attack and annoy.

Passive aggression really climbs all over me. I'd rather just jack you now and have it out, and clear the air. No go in corplife.

Face it, as you already clearly have- you are an odd bird, an eagle in a nest of ducks. It is what it is.

DEATH


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-HreBHGOag&feature=player_embedded
A powerful and illuminating discussion of DEATH and why nominal Christians should NEVER try to sugar coat it as "God's will" when someone's loved one dies. David Bentley Hart, a Christian Scholar, accurately describes that response to someone's pain as Calvinist Cruelty. I agree. An inspiring talk!

I was raised in an older home with senior parents and I was around death frequently. I remember going to many funeral homes and services, therefore I feel I grew up not afraid to be around people who were dying or even death itself. I had always remembered hearing the hearing is the last to go. When my Mother was in Hospice, she was in a coma. She never had opened her eyes, but I felt that she knew we were there.

I had been living with her in her home and had a Chihuahua dog that she adored.
My middle sister asked if we could bring the dog to visit her. Of course that would be fine. We waited until evening and brought her. I placed Little Bit on her chest and my Mother opened her eyes just for a second and grabbed Little Bit's tail. Not hard, just a gentle touch. When it was time to go, my Mother did not want to let go of Little Bit.

I told her Moma Little Bit can't stay here, but I can bring her back. She never opened her eyes again and the Hospice Nurse said she had given that to me as a gift. I believe my Mother waited until my oldest sister got there to see her before she died. She came at 4PM in the afternoon. My Mother had already been there 12 days and this was the first time she visited. At midnight Hospice called my work And told me the end was imminent. I was only 10 minutes away.

 They had been giving her a morphine drip. I went and sat on the bed with her and held her hand And talked to her just as if she was awake and had knowledge of what I was saying. I had already made peace with her long before Hospice as we didn't have the closest relationship. But I wanted her to know that it was ok, that she could leave us and we would all be alright. She had made most of her funeral arrangements prior, but there were a few details left for me to take care of and problems to resolve. I wanted her to know what I had done and what was going to happen.

I just talked calmly to her. She was not on oxygen and at 1:07AM, she let out a tiny puff of air, her eyebrow raised and she was gone. Hospice is an amazing organization and I was very thankful to have them in our lives.

Help an old man stay in his home.
author: John Ferric
target: Everyone

we've got 14 signatures, help us get to 1,000

Mr. Harper is retired and lives in western Nebraska in an old house. Because of the wiring he could not get insurance and when the hail storm damaged the roof he could afford the cost to repair. The house needs a new roof and rewiring inside. Mr. Harper lives in a rural area with very limited income. He is afraid his ceiling could fall in or an electrical fire could burn the house down.

He has tried to get help from various agencies and charities but to no avail. He is a very independent person, but would give the shirt off his back. He grows a garden every year to benefit his neighbors who are equally poor. He could easily lose everything and end up homeless.

Please visit our fund raising effort at: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/g9m4/woody-harper-house-repair-fund

We are elderly men who are part of a Men's support group, but we have little or no knowledge of how to get this request for assistance out and about. If you have a network and would help us spread the word, we would truly appreciate it. Thank you for reading this.

My feline friend died of a stroke yesterday. I have lost a friend I loved dearly. I cried profusely and still I cry for myself, more than for this aged kitty that is now free from pain in this valley of tears. I thank God for the opportunity of rescuing my feline friend in 2008 from a nearly certain soon death from parasites and severe allergies. When we rescued him, he had been scratching at our door for months after we had started feeding him occasionally. He weighed only 7 pounds and defecated three times a day. It took two years of 24/7 attention to keeping him healthy including always wiping his anus after defecation and cleaning his paws after being in the litter box to get him to one poop a day. He was up to 10 pounds within a year and stayed there. He was 9.2 pounds when he passed away.

He was about 14 when we got him in according to the vet from observing his teeth. Last year he began to cry occasionally when he pooped as he did when we first got him in 2008. He has been slowing down all year even though we have medicated him for pain. He gave us 6 wonderful years.

The stroke was sudden and his suffering was minimal, but still agonizing to watch helplessly. Goodbye Nino. Thank you for giving two poor crazies so much love. You are one more proof to me that a Loving God made this fantastic creation. R.I.P.
