Flag on unsecured lumber- check. 420 reference- check. Ironic "windowman" advert (not done to be ironic)- check. Bonus for the dancing grateful dead bears. As a Mainah this makes me laugh

I just can't 😂 everything about that is just so Maine!!

I'm currently too poor to afford one, but I've got a white shepherd that's getting on in age (13) that I'm wanting to get one done. Could you dm me an email address so I can email you when I get some $ saved (maybe a couple months out)?

Do you do (pet) portraits professionally? I seriously though it was a photo. You've got amazing skills there, thank you for sharing!!

Sounds like you're determined. I, personally, love the hermit lifestyle but I know a lot of people go crazy from it. Welcome to Maine 😎

Lol I'm wearing my dunder mifflin sweatshirt as I scroll through Reddit. Very impressive!

Portland Maine's just made headlines recently as the most expensive rent prices in the nation. Unfortunately Maine has become very expensive. Even in places that I used to see $300/ month rents in the early aughts are charging over $1k/ month and the shelters (or lack there of) are completely full. I sincerely hope someone reaches out to you with a good offer (they can be found but property owners are capitalizing off of the sudden popularity of Maine). I take care of my father, an elderly Vietnam vet, so my heart definitely goes out to you. I really hope you can make it home 💖

Sleds (snowmobiles) are the primary method of transportation in the dead of winter in remote places around Maine. It's doable but you'll have to be resourceful and expect that there are times that you will be isolated. Make sure you have a generator/ solar set up and that it's ready to go at any given time, our electric grid is far from dependable. You might want to check and see if your property meets the criteria for year round habitation as well there are some road frontage requirements in certain areas that may prevent you from having your property as a permanent address. Living here can be brutal in the winter but if you love it it's definitely rewarding. Good luck!!

I agree wholeheartedly. I still honestly think "the rest of us" are the majority but the others are just louder and more crude. Believe me, I'm definitely an ally in the fight against racism, classim, bigotry and misogyny. I hope you have a nice evening. I am truly sorry I brought those emotions back to you.

I never did ask you to call them neighbors. I'm sorry I triggered you it wasn't meant that way. I have heard people tell my mother to go back to her own country. I've been talked to in gibberish that's supposed to sound spanish because I supposedly look more like a Puerto Rican than I do Asian. I understand where you're coming from. I'm still gonna say that we don't need to bring up these emotions in each other based on a question about snow, though. I am truly sorry for triggering you.

Tensions are high- you're debating with me over whose lives are political... That says something... Cracking a joke at the expense of your neighbors and community members based on what political letter they place next to their name based on a question about snow seems a bit out of place to me. I'm just sad that we've become so divided that somebody would feel the need to make this remark.

My mother is Vietnamese and my father is white and native. My husband is the child of a WW2 immigrant. There is 0 reason to turn the question "When do you think it's going to snow?" into a political debate. Seriously- no reason.

Or somebody that's sick of politics being thrown into everything. I don't Downvote for anything except blatantly untrue statements but I do kind of get where whoever it is is coming from. At the end of the day whether you're liberal, conservative or somewhere in between we're all neighbors here.

Apparently so, they've been popping up across southern ME, Seacoast NH.

Country store is one that used to be used all the time before corporations bought them out and turned them into harrys, mikes and so on.

Nope, but now I can't get the mental image out of my head

"lived among the savages"? Are you just straight up racist or ? Honestly have no clue what you mean here
