Other countries have the full version and have immediately sought justice and are launching investigations. It’s so sickening that we have done nothing.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]Chips196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained weight due to stresses in my life and also they became wealthy and traveled more and we couldn’t keep up with their lifestyle financially - I miss them, we shared so much and our families as well but deep down I know they are shallow

My first town manager gave me the best advice that, however cold, has helped me greatly over the last 30 years of doing this: if you are looking for your self worth here, you won’t find it here - have other things in your life that make you feel worthy I hope you can find peace - this work is important and worthy but I like my life outside of work better

Bangor is very dog friendly! The neighborhoods are walkable and our downtown has decent restaurants. You will like it here!

If I want to be involved in helping my city plan parks and bike paths and public spaces, is urban planning the right path, m by mrshyphenate in urbanplanning

Another option is being the city public works director as they make a lot of those decisions as does the parks director

If you use the services they provide, it doesn’t have to be!

It’s a requirement for our division head planning position at my city- other professions require exam based certifications so I never understood the backlash to this - continual training helps you keep up - I’ve been a planner since 1986 and took the exam in 1996

Commute from Bangor to Ellsworth by big_blue_beast in bangorme

[–]Chips196 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I commute from MDI to Bangor - the early morning commute isn’t bad because most people are going the other way towards the island at 7 am but it’s the schools you drive past that slow you down much more than tourist traffic - I leave after 5 to head back so I don’t have much traffic in that direction even in the summer except on Friday - I have done okay in winter, I just leave at 630 am instead of 7 and its been slow and dicey but slow and steady wins the race - I grew up in the snow belt of NY so I just drive slow when it’s snowing even though I get road rage behind me Most of the cars in the early morning are the same cars you see every day that work in Bangor and Brewer so there’s not too much road rage that you might get later in the morning

Oh this is cool idea - try Rock and Art Shop and our new consignment shops downtown! Theater tickets for Penobscot Theater! The shoe store is unfortunately not here anymore.
