MILFMAN

I got one for Father’s Day and love it! We have been doing fajitas as well.

The electrification of transportation is driving up the need for more power plants. All the while, electric distribution utilities are fallen behind in infrastructure maintenance....

I wish Maine's last increase was only 12%.....

I love my Milwaukee battery string trimmer and pole saw. Not sure how I would replace my riding lawn mower with electric.

South Portland Maine has proposed a ban on using a gas mower, string trimmers etc. Apparently, it will not apply to commercial mowers. Unbelievable....

What is up with all the frequent gay references in this place....

Yup. Ariat clothes has been popular for decades with the Texans. I work with a lot of them, being a Texas based company and own some FR shirts.

I have seen a lot of the Furries around me for sure. I haven't heard anything about litter boxes.

My daughter is in her 4th and last year of nursing school. This semester her class was supposed to do a clinical rotation with mental health services. The were not able to, because the mental health facilities and hospital wings are short staffed and can't waste time with students. That had to have a 'remote' clinical. Bull shit educational experience.. If students can't get exposed to that type of healthcare or nursing, it is less likely one will pursue that oath. Catch 22.

My wife and I used to have combined finances but we now have separate. When my wife stopped working to take care of kids, it became an issue of her asking if she could buy XXXXX, because I paid the bills, and she didn't know the schedule. She didn't know what we had for free cash and when. When she went back to work, she opened her own checking. Problem solved! We have combined savings. We each have our own checking. I pay most of the bills. She pays some. She pays for most of the kid stuff and college, gifts, vacation, etc. She bought my last sled. We have never argued about money since.....

For my family it is: school taxes, electrical rates, food, auto insurance

I just received 3 quotes. 55K 44k 33.5 k Pricing is just for solar with no battery backup or any extras. Before incentives. The pricing went up with the inflation reduction act......

Boomers are great where I work. The biggest issues I have are the younger guys..but overall everyone is ok.

Just admit the press is dishonest with their agenda against Trump. What happened to honesty, and verifying sources before publishing?

Yes. I know too many people that have had it. In one case it was years of suffering. A coworker has it now and he is miserable.

They certainly have been making a lot of changes since that storm.

Mainecat, you don't want to root out corruption?

No more Trump. While I voted for him, I now realize he is not longer any good for this country. Nor is Biden. Neither will get my vote. I am hoping for a better Republican option.

That is absolutely true and getting worse lately. WTF Guy....

When I shipped out I had someone go through my mail so everything was always paid. I know a least a hundred people that do it.

I grew up in Northern Maine. We got a shit load of snow, and I never heard of winter tires. The family car was a 2 wheel drive boat. When I moved to Rhode Island for a while, all the guys at work were putting winter tires on, and they hardly get any weather.... That was honestly the first time I heard about snow tires and thought I was lying. I have decent all season tires on all of our vehicles and don't see the need for them personally unless you are regularly on unmaintained roads or hilly/mountain areas. I carry tire chains that I have never used though because I have to take an unsanded private road into camp all winter. (The Golden Road.)

Why would he want to compare wealth but not share with us what he did to amass it?...............

What did you do for a living prior to retiring?

I really think very slim. But a guy I went to school with died from it at the age of 48. He thought the same. I also had a friend die of the flu 10 years ago who was in his thirties. I would have never thought that. Shit happens, but in this case I thought it was the best decision for me. Might not prove to be true in the future, but I don't see much downside. So all the world leaders got together to create a system for digital IDs and a social credit system? I don't buy it, but I wouldn't say impossible. Again, for each their own.

I don't have all the answers, but for the 2 biggest hospitals in Maine, The unvaxed patients are between 80-90% in the COVID units as of the end of last week. I chose to get vaccinated for that reason, and really don't care if other people do it not. That is their choice.
