I'm pretty close to the Vermont border. Are you getting an increase in skunks too?
We are still living in MA (moving to VT next month). Thank goodness no increase in skunks here but I will have to be on the lookout when we move. Our dog would totally try to become friends with a skunk.
My cat tried to make friends last summer. It was the worst smell ever.
Also I learned today that a group of domesticated turkeys can be referred to as either a gang or a rafter.
My sister is deathly afraid of turkeys. One day when she was in HS she was walking to the bus stop and two turkeys were fighting. She has been terrified of them ever since.
I had to wait for the neighborhood wild turkeys to cross the street at my parent's house the other day. It was so frustrating because I could SEE my parent's house but couldn't get there. Thankfully, most had already crossed and I only had to wait for 3 instead of the entire flock of 20. They really do not give any fucks.
People get attached by these aholes everyday at my work. They constantly have to move them away from the parking lots and entrance. Last year they sent out an awesome email about what to do if a goose attacks you. I laughed so hard!
My mom and stepdad raised turkeys last year for thanksgiving (doing it again this year) and one time when they went out of town for the weekend they asked DH and I to check on them. I was working so DH had to go over on his own. The turkeys never got fed and chicken eggs never got collected because he claims that the turkeys had escaped the pen and were chasing him. Apparently he is terrified of all the birds.
It is hilarious and we tease him all the time. There is no way those turkeys got outside of the pen, he was just scared to go in.

Geese might be one of my least favorites. They're not very friendly and pretty aggressive. They have a "goose patrol" truck at MH's work- apparently it just roams around and tries to coral geese back into just the pond area. I find this idea hilarious.
Construction people are out to get me. On my way to work Friday night I got stuck in two traffic jams for 40 minutes and I was half an hour late for work. So this morning I stayed away from the interstate and took some back roads and one of my little side roads was closed. Thank goodness for GPS. I get that the weather is nice and there are projects that need to be done but seriously every route I take to work has one or two construction sites on it right now!
ironbaby - I've been using Mint for years and love it.
I FINALLY saw Ultron last night and basically had a 2.5 hour nerdgasm.
Ultron was fantastic! I'm really excited about the direction they are going for the 3rd and 4th.
I know a few people have said they are sick of superhero movies but they are very, very wrong.
DH doesn't it want to see it! I have no idea what is wrong with him. He loved the last Captain America and Avengers movies but now he feels "over it". Over it?! Does not compute. Looks like I will need to go alone!

One of those Canadian goose assholes was at Home Depot the other day, and it kept walking toward me with its mouth open. It kind of looked like a demented smile. I seriously screamed at H that we have to go because it shouldn't keep following us! lol!
I've been bitten by a swan, too, so all the birds hate me
RE budgets - I tried mint for awhile but I always have problems with our credit union linking to it.
This exactly. DH and I use an app called Accounts2 now. It's a little clunky on sharing the checkbook file but it works pretty good for us since he primarily pays the bills. I'm trying to convince him to do a Google Docs or Excel spreadsheet but he doesn't really love the computer much. I think if Mint worked better with both our credit unions we would have stuck with it.
So... we returned a rather large purchase on Friday and it had to go back on our credit card because it had been so long. Now we have a negative credit on our card (Not even equal to the amount returned minus what had currently been on the card). I know it may take a few days for everything to clear... so maybe they cleared half of it and not the other? I don't know. I don't like looking at my accounts and everything being messed up.
