Would this be a call to town hall? I've been wondering the same as OP

Idk why but this broke me. That the 5 yr old kid inside this old man never got his cabin and I don't know why but this is wrecking me. Time to get off line. Omg why is this so painful and heart breaking

Yes, I do this.

I was hit by a car in 2017, as a pedestrian. All the yoga in the world can't always prevent back injury, sometimes I can throw it out from getting up too fast. I'm also fairly petite so it's not weight related. Just one day Paula Anderson was impatient and decided hitting me (while I was on the sidewalk) was justified bc in her words to police "I thought I could get around her" According to witnesses I recoiled from being hit, and her car carried me for 5 or 6 feet before she stopped. I don't really remember it, just being unable to walk for a solid 3 months after that. I fear for my old age and falling.

But yes fully agreed and use that method just my twisted little body hates even light shoveling now lol.

I think like you. My partner would rather wait until it's all over and it makes no sense to me. I enjoy the physical activity and it's easier to enjoy it when I'm not screwing up my back bc it's too heavy.

Are there contacts in place?? Can the tenants take any legal action? This is such a terrible thing for this company to do if they're breaking contracts. These are people's livelihoods, the ones that are there. Wow.

Okay... so maybe you're thinking that getting some knowledge will help you feel in control.

No. Push that out of your head now. Uncertainty is honestly a part of living here, which is why everyone has been down voting you. Show some spirit and just ride it out like the rest of us. If it happens, it happens. As others have said, hard telling not knowing.

I've got poor people insurance and even though I have a primary, he's never available. I don't think the providers I'm seeing give a hoot about my history even though it's there. The Healthcare in my state is absolutely atrocious.

I think nurses are amazing. I have deep respect for ICU nurses especially. When my younger sister was passing, the ICU nurses went above and beyond. I can imagine there must be lots of hard work and a lot of emotions in that line of work.

Aw thank you. I try . When I mess up I try to be accountable and learn from my mistakes. That's life, right? Much love to you, your comment made my day

Right on! I appreciate that you heard my opinion.

I guess I just... I rushed to faces of her and other people just out their minds.

I can see mmj as being great in pain relieving and harm reduction. I have no issues inherently with opioid either other than the addiction properties. And I read your post and I was like oh no.... this poor freaking person and I got legitimately terrified. And no doubt bc I've been ruminating on my sister so it felt more close to home.

It sounds like I jumped to a conclusion. I can definitely remember panic attacks I've had on pot and they've always been wild. So I now see this was more a one off than a , well call it medicating to the point of certain termination.

So I do apologize , sincerely. Also, if you're on opioids now at all you've got to have some high level chronic pain and I'm so sorry that you're going through that

At the great risk of being downvoted:

Your use of weed while you're on opiates suggests to me that you're not responsible

Your dosing yourself with Narcan because you were too high to tell if you ODd or not is exactly like, one of the worst things that could happen as a result of mixing opiates with weed.

You are lucky that you weren't over dosing. You are lucky you are alive. My sister aspirated after an OD, her death day was just a few days ago 2/15/07.

I hope you learned not to mix weed and opiates. If you're too high to measure the effects of the opioid then I don't think you are acting responsibly. Do what you want, I just wouldn't keep self describing as responsible.

I'm glad you made it out of that one.

Holy crap, that blows. I'm so, so sorry that happened to you.

That is good to know! My driver's education was another state and some things I have sadly, had to learn as I go. First lesson- 6 or 7 years ago when I first got the car, it was my first vehicle in Maine. I had not had a vehicle for about 8 years by that point. So hurray! The day after I got it, some kid rear ended me. I got out and got the insurance. He asks if we should call the police and I was like nah, I don't see any reason to. He looks bewildered but all right. Haha Old Town police contacted me just to let me know I should be happy they didn't arrest me for leaving the scene of an accident? I was like, um, thank you Officer? It was weird. So I learned that in Maine, call the police every time! Glad the police did not arrest me for that. Phew. I have no idea how they even found out, maybe the kid's parents called them? Where I grew up it is very populated and unless you're also calling the ambulance, you don't call the police. Only if someone got hurt. They have better things to do there I guess.

Live and learn. Now have learned to hate VIP.

Oh yes I definitely agree! I went to VIP bc I had just moved to a completely new region and realized one day my inspection sticker had been out for two months! With the move I had just forgotten about it. So I was just in a panic trying to get that resolved before I got pulled over.

I'm newer to this sub but I've seen a story or two, but that has been after this VIP nonsense. I came here to find out if anyone had good experiences with mechanics because while reviews are good, I felt like I wanted to reach out to the Maine Reddit hive mind to help me start. I've not yet needed work on my car and I've had it for 6 years. Just oil changes. I just want a tune up and basically pay an honest person for reassurance that yeah, little car is doing okay. Or if not, find out what's up before my engine just falls or something. I want a check up, pretty much.

And oof about the experience your mom had. She sounds like a pretty smart cookie. When I was talking to the VIP guy I was trying to ask like, hey how long do i have with this bad sticker? I really thought I failed bc he was so ambiguous and just tire pushing. I was not having it. I wish I recorded it though, in hindsight it was probably a pretty funny exchange and the looks on his face were priceless bc I think he thought I was messing with him when really i just wanted straight answers. Thank you

Thank you!!!! They have stellar reviews as well. I'm definitely going to give them a call Monday and feel them out.

That is awesome! Have you had anything done in 2022? I checked their reviews and it looks like most are pretty satisfied but some don't like the new management. They are definitely being considered and they sound great.

Also, the fact that if you break down they can come grab your car to bring back and fix?? That's invaluable to know of that service and thank you very much for putting them on my radar, they seem great!

I love all of this. Plus, I definitely get intimated when I'm around men and I'm alone so I'm usually the shut up. I will definitely push myself to ask questions.

I have not yet needed a mechanic for anything serious for my car, and I just want to get her a little tune up. I hated the experience at VIP for my inspection. I just Googled it bc I had just moved out of the Bangor area. But the circle game that VIP guy was giving me was too much. Thank you

Yessss!!! I'm calling them as soon as they're open. Loving the double edit. My Honda has been so good to me and I figure I should do some maintenance before anything starts to go wrong. Thank you

I wish I had recorded the conversation. It just went round and round because he wouldn't be straight with me about whether I passed or failed and I left thinking I failed haha. He looked so uneasy with my questioning, but he just wouldn't give any straight answers and kept upsetting $800 tires and pushing hard that he could get them there in 4 days if he placed an order now. Crazy!

Awesome thank you. I'm going to go check out their reviews and see what people are currently saying

Try calling 211. My school sent an email out saying they have information about where warming shelters are. May not lead to anything but could be helpful.

Yes, definitely need pharmacists up here. My pharmacy can't handle their load and are so short staffed. I actually wrote them a thank you note because when I call and ask a question they sound so stressed and rushed.

Code enforcement isn't just for reporting a landlord. They are an excellent resource, literally your local code expert. They should be able to point you in the right direction maybe even give advice.

Or you waste ten minutes. No stone unturned gig, they say.

Can second that on the trucks.

My jaw just freaking dropped. Are you kidding me?!?!? And I would not put it past them. Not for one moment. Holy shit. And then it's like anywhere you go, .... that's so incredibly damaging and fucked I. How did you find out about this? Holy crap. I'm so, so sorry this happened to you. And bc of a freaking Google review? That's terrifying.
