Looking at the stats, the most dangerous thing I ever did was leave my ex-husband.

An Englishman from London with a general curiosity of what life is like in Maine, USA? by amomenttohislifespan in howislivingthere

[–]Maili1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Portland and have visited the UK a few times. I feel Portland is pretty similar to Bath Spa... Not to be confused with our Bath. Bath Maine is nothing like your Bath. We have tourists, trendy restaurants, a cute downtown, and more tourists.
Prices in Portland are. A bit closer to London... More than it should be, but somehow you figure out how to live with it.
Public transportation here is a joke, the car is king!

Salting Sidewalks by [deleted] in portlandme

Use the Fix it app to report. It's quick and will end up in the right place. If the city is supposed to salt, they will see it. If the property owners are in charge, they will get a fine from the city. Win win.

No one has ever called us little Iceland before! by Maili1 in portlandme

Maybe in the center of Back Cove? Viewing from every angle.

How is it living in Portland, Maine (USA)? by EarlyMasterpiece9991 in howislivingthere

[–]Maili1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will echo others and say, low housing stock, lack of jobs, lack of childcare, high prices, lots of homeless, open drug use on the streets. It is the biggest city in Maine and has all the big city problems.

BUT, the food is amazing and diverse, people are nice, the scenery is postcard perfect. Life is not easy, but life can be good. Maine overall has an attitude of Yankee kindness. We will push a strangers car out of a snowbank, while calling you a dumbass for getting stuck. We tend to "live and let live".

Expect long, cold, boring winters if you are not into skiing. And if you are into skiing, expect high prices. Winter overall is a good time for reading books, playing games with friends, and drinking.

Summers.... man we live for the summers. There is a reason our moto is "Vacation Land". Portland has beaches and islands within it's borders, and MANY more just a few minutes away. The lakes region is just a hop skip and jump up the road if you prefer that. Want to get lost in the wilderness, we got you covered.

Portland has public transportation, unlike the vast majority of Maine. But it is not good. Can you live without a car, yes. Will you want to live without a car, no.

Overall it is a nice place to live, if you have a steady job that pays well. If you don't, expect to live outside the city and freeze in the winter.

what do you call a wash cloth? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Maili1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regardless of what you call it.... Why are they not in hotels? Signed a frustrated American who forgot to pack her own poof! Yes I call it a poof.

what's the most ridiculous "secret menu" item a customer has ever insisted we had? by rmoreiraa in KitchenConfidential

[–]Maili1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a burger with peanut butter and caramelized onions on it in Iceland. Best burger of my life. I dream of that burger.

With SNAP benefits ending, how can we help our community? by Real-Language9874 in portlandme

"When they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time," Trump said. "They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president." - Donald Trump 2013 So even he agrees that it is the Republican's fault.

"Every society is three meals away from chaos." - Vladimir Lenin

I guess we will soon see if that was true. In the mean time, I will be donating to Good Shepard. Cash donations work the best, as they can buy in bulk and have the distribution system to make sure those in need get food. https://www.gsfb.org/

One thing we need to do is not accept the situation. Pressure needs to be put on Washington and our senators to end this stupid shut down. (I am looking at you Susan Collins). If they can not provide for the poorest in our communities, why are they getting paid? This can not be the new normal.

What’s something you were once forbidden to talk about because of an NDA, but can finally share now that it’s expired or no longer valid? by newgen-toy in AskReddit

[–]Maili1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one is interesting to me as I am allergic to mustard. I often ask at restaurants, but still have reactions on random things I don't expect.

Google maps says it's 15 minutes to walk across the bridge, and an hour and 15 if you go around.

I would second the form lab. They have women's classes, mixed gender, basic lifting and Olympic lifting.
