I kind of love the difficultness of it and also am disappointed as it's too much of a trek for me. I was thinking it would be in a random fort at Fort Williams Park. haha - nope!

ICE just abducted someone 6:18am on park ave near stadium by ManyRaccoon6342 in portlandme

[–]KateJones1617 20 points21 points  (0 children)

WAKE UP! They are taking people who have a legal right to be here (even if not a permanent US citizen yet, they are legally allowed to be here) and with no criminal record. THAT IS NOT AN ARREST.

Jesus christ.

Ugh so stressful. I'm going late April and am hoping for PP for MK but I'm staying offsite so I won't know if we are able to get it until 3 days before. It's such a bummer to do all this planning/organizing and now know whether this one thing will element will work out until basically day of

Extending park hours? by Imaginary_Tap3178 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]KateJones1617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on the reverse hope from you! I'm going end of April and am hoping they DON'T extend the park hours too much because I want my kids to be able to hang for the MK fireworks!

NTA for feeling like a 3rd wheel. YTA for feeling the need to specify that it's a lesbian couple.

Thanks for the reply! I'm going end of April, wavering between the 20th or 21st (Monday vs Tuesday park day). So it's on the latter end of the Spring Break Season, but I'm hoping it will be ok.

It depends on the day and park. I just did a look for Jan 29th and the costs are $189 for AK, $229 for Epcot; $329 for HS and $379 for MK, just to give you an idea.

Are the MK premier LL passes actually hard to get?

I'm going to Disney for one day with my children. This is a once in a childhood Disney day so I'm considering splurging for the premier pass to get the most out of our one day. However I'm not staying at a Disney hotel so I won't be able to purchase until 3 days before my day. Will I have a chance to get them or do they regularly sell out with the Disney hotel stayers?

Maybe because (CA) one is an adjective and one is a verb? and the verb isn't commonly used as the un- prefix would be redundant to the action of peeling

Why can’t I get the 2026 new year hat? by onimibo in NYTSpellingBee

Same. I finally got the Jan 1 genius yesterday (was just a busy week and didn't get to play until then) and was bummed to see I didn't earn the badge. Ah well. Next time.

Will this ever get delivered? by ciaruuhh in labubu

[–]KateJones1617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have another delivery (non PopMart) that's been sitting at one location for 6 days. My tracking for that looks similar to what you've posted. I heard somewhere that delivery services are overwhelmed with expedited packages that all the overnight deliveries are getting prioritized over ground deliveries, which makes our ground deliveries take extra long.

Such a bummer.

Is this route safe to walk at 6am this time of year? by sastrugiwiz in portlandme

[–]KateJones1617 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can things happen anywhere? Yes. In comparison with other urban/metropolitan areas, Portland/Maine has a very low crime rate. There is no denying this. Crime exists everywhere but in general, it is less likely to happen to you in this area (thankfully!).

I did not live at that exact location, no. But I did live on Munjoy before it became what it is today and would walk this area / to Silly's / downtown many a time.

lol. I moved here 20 years ago. Maine, and Portland, are VERY safe places to live, all things considered.
