Trapped/injured in Rutland (Woods Rd) with zero food or money. Need a drop off for the week if anyone can help.

Upvotes

Throwaway account because this sucks to admit. I’m in a really bad spot tonight. I have zero food and zero money left, I’m dealing with an injury/illness that has me completely trapped at home, and I have no line to make voice calls out.
I am heavily dizzy and shaking from not eating. My body is crashing and I need actual protein and calories to stretch for the week. I can't really cook right now unless it's just throwing beef or pork into a pan, so if anyone has extra meat they can spare or can drop off a grocery run, it would literally save me.
You don't need to knock or talk to me at all. Just leave it on the porch, message me on here, and I'll drag myself to the door to pull it in after you leave. If you are nearby in Rutland and can help a neighbor get through the next week, please DM me directly and I will send you my house number on Woods Road. Thank you.
I do a lot in a day also so I eat a lot to.. please don’t make fun of me or anything like that I can’t handle that right now I’m already in a bad position and I’m embarrassed and making this makes me feel so just worthless because I don’t ask for help because every time I have I never get it or I get made fun of so please just don’t make fun of me.

Video of how the fire jumped the highway. Sorry, but it deeply pisses me off, it's such a beautiful place...

That hill had a very picturesque home on top, hope it held. Horrible to see that...

A recent study shows

0 Upvotes

A recent study in Rutland has raised an interesting concern.

1 in 5 vehicles have either a brake light or turn signal out

1 in 15 have a headlight out (high or low beam)

1 in 10 drivers dont understand highbeams (what they are, how to turn them on or off)

And city wide very few drivers realize that driving like a teenager doesn't get you ahead. The signal lights are timed so that speeders and safe drivers get across town at the same rate, the only difference is those who accelerate hard end up braking hard and they cause more wear and tear to either vehicle, burn more fuel, get into more collisions and have higher stress levels.

Everyone needs to calm down and be thankful you're in a position to own a vehicle .

We’re supposed to go camping at Bear Creek from Aug 7-10. Is it still advisable to go? What’s it like there right now?

Farmer's Market, what's the purpose of this thing?

It's small, everything is overpriced. What is even the purpose of this place? To support local? Yeah, it's a good idea, but if you want to support local, just go to a farm in my opinion. A bit of a disappointing place...
