Bless you. I live in Limerick, there is nothing here but ancient family feuds. (The rural is why we moved to Limerick though, could do without the feuds that no one cares about)

I spit my coffee laughing at “ancient family feuds!” That is a popular past time in Maine. My grandmother enjoyed her several feuds that lasted at least 50 years 😆

Lol, we moved here because we like the area, we like to live rural, and we generally like to be left alone but omg. The weird inter family histories and feuds and Facebook wars drive me up the wall and make it so I never want to talk to anyone in this town. You haven't lived until you've experienced the Christmas decoration debacle of March 2022. (Someone undecorated the town gazebo because the decorations were still up in March and then THREW THEM OUT!!! the horror!! Said townsperson was crucified on social media for doing what our town apparently could not for 3 months. I still dont think the poor townsperson is allowed back in the town facebook group)

March must be the breaking point for people! The same grandmother I mentioned gave people until March to get their Christmas wreath off the door. We would be in the car and she would point out how “Marian” hasn’t bothered to take her wreath down yet. And it wasn’t unheard of for her to make anonymous calls to such people to give unwanted advice 😆

Yeah we love the rural but definitely need some buddies to talk to and hang with every once in a while.

What are your interests? That would help to know as far as ideas for meeting people

We’re both into gaming, I like art and nature oriented things as well. We both grew up really city locked so we’re not used to too much of the nature oriented things but we’re both trying to get into better shape stamina wise to do more. We both love animals, horror, I’m really into gardening. Honestly we’re really up for anything. Gabe really wants to try lobster fishing and to get into hunting.

> lobster fishing

There's some baggage associated with this one. You can do some amateur lobstering without issue, but if you aren't plugged into the local scene it's easier than you might think to step on toes or otherwise piss people off. Lobstermen aren't... nice, to put it politely.

>hunting

A lot easier to get into if you have some firearms experience, but there are a lot of rules. Read them, follow them.
