Reply to Harpswell Recommendations by Krissy_loo
The fairy trails are beautiful but can be scary when icy so bring grippers. Lands end, giant staircase are beautiful to. Harpswell Heritage Land Trust has a list of trails on their website.

That’s a motel painting from an Asian “art” factory.
c. 1960s. Paintings like this do have some value, esp with the kitschy frame. I’d say maybe $75 to a hipster collector.

Corolla's are nice cars. Reliable and good in snow with front wheel drive.

Gross. That sucks lol … fortunately it’s a rule for our neighborhood group that if you post bullshit you get kicked out. Tell them “Brandon” put the snow at the end of your driveway and if they help you get rid of it they’ll be sticking it to the man

I have worked for years with people with intellectual disabilities. The term “Intellectually disabled” has replaced “mental retardation”. Sorry to say those words, but many people don’t understand what ID actually means. And yes many of these people have mental illness as well. I would be very interested to find out the backstory to this.
In the last year or so the federal government has implemented new regulations regarding this population’s rights. Of course we want these folks to live as independently as possible and to make as many good choices as possible. However, many live in group homes with 24/7 staff. They may live somewhat independently but with staff coming in for part of the day. And some live with parents for as long as possible. The majority have some type of caseworker.
I, and many others in this field, have concerns about some of the expanded rights. For instance, a client can leave the house anytime they want for whatever reason. We are not allowed to stop them and we are not allowed to call the police for 24 hours. That can be very dangerous for some of the people I work with. In the past, we kept any money they had locked up, and we were required to keep very precise bookkeeping and receipts that were turned in monthly. Now the clients manage their own money and keep their cash in their bedrooms. If money were stolen or lost we have no idea where to even start looking. And you can imagine that sets them up for exploitation. There are a few others that I won’t get into that we are very concerned will end in some type of disaster.
I have NO knowledge of this particular case, but my colleagues and I are wondering if this was a situation where they were not permitted to stop them from leaving, going with them, or protecting them in some other way. We are really wondering how one of the ladies has a drivers license. But she may be high functioning and was able to get a license. I really hope that they are found soon and found safe. This is terrifying.

I tried cbd drops 2 times years ago that claimed there was no thc content. Got piss tested 2 weeks later at work and tested positive for thc. Fortunately my employer couldn't take action on positive thc testing due to changing state laws at the time.

Reply to Fort Kent outdoor parka? by [deleted]
For outdoor cold weather activities I much prefer to do a lot of layering rather than relying on a single piece of gear. I back country ski and you don't want to allow yourself to sweat and freeze. I generally wear 4 plus layers. Wool long sleeve, synthetic mid layer, down puffy, 3 ply gortex shell. Depending on anticipated temps and conditions I might subtract layers or add some other wool or synthetic layers.
And then there is also the option of adding chemical heaters.
I have a friend who works as an Olympic sledding official (skeleton,luge, bobsled). She spends a lot of time standing around on ice in a non physical capacity, so she doesn't generate heat. She swears by battery powered heated jackets.

This is good idea. Unfortunately my local group is bunch of right wing political bullshit so I'm not in it. But the group in my son and DIL's area has been really helpful finding plowing and lawn care and stuff like that

I’d check Facebook neighborhood groups before Reddit .. last year when my husband was deployed I used the neighborhood watch group a few times to get the government sludge plowed from the end of my driveway and they all took venmo

When I lived there sometimes I’d stand by the road with $40 in my hand and wave it at anyone with a plow. It rarely took long before someone stopped.

The difficult to deal with snow has passed—though we'll get a little more around 8pm. You're probably OK if you can get out now.
