You can order them online from Lowe's or Home Depot or Ace Hardware. They are very, very common. You will be glad you got it.

But please. Don't go around saying you can't do the things that adults have to do or you're being discriminated against because you're a short woman, even a very short woman. That's not a good way to think about yourself or train other people to think about you. I don't care if you're mad at me if it makes you stop and think before you say something like that again.

LOL are you ok?

I don’t think we are reading or on the same thread. You seemed butthurt. I only wanted to further ensure your safety. This being your mental. You went into detail about living on a mountain. I like to chat and type and you took the time to read the whole thing so it musta been a good story.

It's currently a state sanctioned monopoly. Neither CMP nor Versant (owned by the same foreign conglomerate) have any free market competition. Their profits are purely rent-seeking, rather than based on success in a competitive market.

Instead of sending that unearned profit to an overseas conglomerate, we could keep it in Maine - and return that profit to taxpayers in the form of lower rates and better service over time.

I lived in the area back in the mid 80’s when Charlie Howard was murdered, that had a big impact. I haven’t lived there in 35 years but I assume things have come a long ways since then.

Lots of people shooting up in Portland, needles on the ground everywhere. Glad I don't live there. Have to go there sometimes for work.
