Wow, thanks for pointing that out! We got heat pumps last year, and using the calculator with our usage data from last year, we would save $400/year.

I would guess because "cottage" and the Anglo-Scots root "cottar" or "commoner" refer to the old British peasantry. So it's "commoner's pie" and was originally made with leftover roast beef.

It’s disheartening to read an article about homelessness that opens by describing someone smoking a cigarette. That alone is such a waste of money. Then, the article talks about common roadblocks to homeless people getting jobs, specifically, the need for a phone and a physical address. If a homeless person needs a phone and a physical address, there are affordable ways to do this. Most carriers have prepaid phone plans for $15 a month and UPS offers a mail box with a physical address for as low as $10 a month. I guess it’s a vicious cycle, if you’re addicted to nicotine, you aren’t going to allocate that money to resources that can actually help you. This holds true for alcohol and illegal drugs addictions too.

No wonder you got metal issues 😂 your a speed addict. And also I will never feel bad for someone dumb enough to smoke a cig in a work hotel. What a joke of an article. Do you know how many people have to pass a piss test to keep a job? We should just take everything away till he can pass a piss test. Not even working a full work week smh

It’s easiest of all to truly have personal accountability.

…there are both, and one doesn’t necessitate the other

I’ve known plenty of drug addicts with apartments and I’ve known homeless who are clean and sober

Also sometimes clean homeless people start using because reality is so unkind that they’d kill themselves if they had to keep hacking it sober

Like I like and can relate to most of what you said but that last thing kinda hurt the message

Sure sure

I know someone who lives in the Bradford area and he just told my husband and I that quite a few wealthy people have come in to Maine and bought up properties. Things are going to change here,,,,

This has been on my mind for awhile. I’m pretty sure the answer is “yes, and you thank your lucky stars you’re in one of the places people are fleeing to rather than from”.

My best friend has been encouraging me to leave the state. I’ve been telling him things like “it’s not my time yet,” “my mother needs me”, “I want more life experience”… but really, it’s because I don’t want to be stuck on a warmer (now or later) part of the planet when the place I left is projected to handle climate change better than most anywhere else—in the world, not just the country.

Yeah. Climate refugees will be a huge crisis.

That's quite a streaming budget in proportion to the rest of expenses.

Any of these would be good. It’s one of my favorite things to make. I like to cook the ground beef with a couple hefty spoonfuls of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Also, a beef, bouillon, cube, a little splash of red wine, and some herbs to Provence. Essentially, I sort of treat the ground beef like it’s a beef stew to some degree. I’m always messing around with the meat layer of this recipe, but this is the one that I think tastes the best.

I do like lamb though. I've been thinking about the logic a but more and I guess my question would be why is it called cottage pie then. Wouldn't it be called like ranchers pie? Or cattle herders pie?

I hope others here get the sarcasm. That’s exactly the attitude I’m sick of hearing. I am very fortunate to have not been in that position and I don’t pretend to understand what others have been through, their struggles both mentally and physically. It’s a lot easier to discourage than encourage. Let’s flip that around.

You son of a bitch, I’m in!

$300 a week does not cover rent in Lewiston unless you are in section 8 housing. And you’re still not going to get your money’s worth.

Rt9 is now quite lovely

As a person who participates in all those things, I assure you it has nothing to do with homelessness. You're just boring and projecting 😂.

Well that’s a pretty narrow view on things.

I doubt that there are any states in the USA where you couldn't say they have a terrible drug problem. Capitalism has created a society that needs mind-altering substances in order to cope.

It’s easy not being poor. Just don’t. That’s what bootstraps are for!

/S

Yeah 182 is real nice. The stretch by Tunk lake and (I think) Long pond especially.

This is the answer. No recipe moves through people and time unchanged.

I might be interested in this. Play bass and guitar. Live in auburn
