I am so sorry to hear about your mother. It's a terrible thing to go through for everyone. My little sister passed away last year at 38 years old from ovarian cancer. She wanted a Viking funeral also. It is illegal, but we celebrated with a small scaled down version of a Viking funeral.

She was initially cremated, but we wanted to respect her wishes, but obviously could not do so without breaking the law. So, my father constructed a small model boat in the form of a Viking ship, it was around 20 inches long. The sail was a piece of fabric decorated with a bunch of comic character prints. (Marvel I think, she was into graphic novels and that whole scene). We added some of her cremated ashes to the bottom of the model boat. We drafted a friend with a large boat moored north of Portland, and headed to the outskirts of the islands. We had a small service for her, just close family and a couple of friends, and when it was over, we sent the model ship out to the sea, setting it on fire with her ashes in it. Being made of mostly paper, it burned very quickly and what little remained sank immediately. The boat was made of newspaper and paper mache so the remains would decompose very quickly. There was very little if any waste left behind, and what was left would have basically disintegrated rapidly.

It may not be completely legal, but it was a nice way to honor our sister with our own adaptation of what she wanted for a funeral.

Good luck to you and your family.

Take it away! Even vegans don't "love" tofu. 😉

I agree about the ReStore. Over priced for older appliances, and they have a policy and will.nit negotiate the price. Granted, the money is going to a good cause, but if you're looking for the best deal, this isn't the place.

They're going to need a bigger sign to accommodate all those signatures

This needs to be in the other post titled "You know you are from Maine when......"😂😂

you button up your vest tomorrow for the first time this winter, due to the -40 wind-chill.

Maine Solar Solutions is great, and much more responsive than Revision. Fantastic company to work with.

The shit that is sold in those cans is much worse for your health than all that black mold growing on the shelves. That's the most disgusting part of this picture.

My wife pays over $100 a month, and that's for her line and her mother's. It's crazy. Her contract has finally expired so we're looking for cheaper alternatives going forward.

So happy to hear about your experience with Mint. Thank you for the reply!

Who wants to talk on the phone when you're at the beach!

Thank you for the information.

Thank you! I had not heard of them, we'll look into it.

Northern York county is close enough!

Thank you for your input, greatly appreciated.

My wife doesn't travel a whole lot, so I would agree the dead spots occasionally would not be worth the extra cost of a better plan. This is the kind of information I was looking for.

Thank you!

Appreciate the info! Thank you

Wow! That's great to hear.

Where should I mail your commission check?😜

Good to hear! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have Verizon through work and you're correct, the coverage is great, but damn they're expensive!

That's great to hear! Thank you so much for your reply.

Thank you! We have looked at the coverage map, but I hate to rely on the company's own website, I was hoping to hear from someone that actually uses it.

I do appreciate you digging that up though!

Who the hell still eats margarine? I was raised on that shit and will never put that garbage in my body now.

I was going to suggest this one. Although I live in Falmouth, my wife and I have gone to stay there when snow is being forecasted. It's a really cool feeling to swim during a snowstorm!
