Jackman has struggled with racism and it’s extremely small

Houlton is so small and close knit they probably already know you are thinking about a visit.

Calais is almost Canada. It has a per capita opiate problem that rivals that of big cities.

Efficiency Maine offers a number of incentives to homeowners, including direct rebates for things like insulation. There’s one between now and December 31st that will reimburse you for up to $100 in insulation. That’s just a complete gift, but they offer other kinds of incentive throughout the year of the larger scale.

If you’re new to the house plan to spend a few hundred dollars insulating and caulking. The FLIR camera is a great idea. An infrared point at it thermometer that cost about 20 bucks on Amazon is also how much cheaper solution.

Lastly heat is a major annual expense in Maine. Get in the habit including it in your monthly budget so you are saving for heat in July. That way you feel it less during heating season when you are spending down your credit.

You can go every day or every hour if you like. Each meeting is different, most folks go ti a few different ones and think of one of them as their home group. In early recovery looking for ‘open’ meetings (anyone can attend) and Discussion groups (more stories less focus on the 12 step Big book).

Maybe find a sponsor, don’t worry about judgment - everyone there is past that already.

Don’t get stuck on the higher power concept if you are not spiritual. Think of it as the thing that is driving you to find sobriety.

Just finished the Harry and Megan reality show. Im really looking forward to next installment which will center around the upcoming failure of their marriage and their subsequent and ugly divorce.

That should come out sometime after Harry grows/wakes up and realizes that he got played - she stole the Crown Jewels

And the animals are sick of being cold

I mean another question is do we really live in a world where people leave their pets out in the cold?

No cover?

Have you tried North Conway, it’s not far from here?

Really nice shot!

Redundant

With milk it's known as fat ass in a glass.

We all saw that tiktok

Correct. 10 mins per stop equals 90 mins of not moving, one way.

Dedicated bus lane in central Maine lol. Totally unnecessary. Rail is only faster without stops, the trip by train from Portland yo Boston is no time saver

Have you ever taken the train from Portland to Boston? It stops every 50 feet

The existing bus lines are barely making it. There’s not enough demand for passenger travel by land.

Hopefully you go to jail, pay a huge fine, spend several grand on a lawyer and lose your license for a stretch.

We have a winner! I think this is the worst advice I’ve ever read on here.

Hey I used to live there too!! (Somewhere else). Now I’m from Maine!

The cost of fuel will prevent that sadly

Boy is golden out to lunch on this one. The Chinese literally think the Covid started with the lobsters in Wuhan. They’re not buying them anymore. Whole Foods thinks that they’re killing whales. They’re not buying them anymore. Maybe the Europeans will buy them.

People don’t go to college to learn about the community of Presque Isle

Popeyes

NH is MUCH more influenced by Mass/Boston than Maine is. More rat-race. More money. More conservative and uptight.

Vermont is rural, small, towns of people that know each other. It's more liberal and isolated from the drama of the rest of New England in a way similar to central and northern Maine, but small towns can still be trumpy. But the landscape there is hilly and different, so it hits different. Much less rat race than NH, less money and more poverty in small towns, much more liberal and laid back.

Who is dismissing the community? They are the most important part. Without their support there would be no college for any of these other folks to work out.

Academics however is not the same as a business, it costs money.
