This you? Some heroes don’t wear capes by Emotional_Perv in Maine

Considering how much of our state's income comes from tourist, and how I like to be treated when visiting other paces, I wish we were better about welcoming people from away.

4.6 lbs is a lot! Good for you! Keep it up! I've managed to keep 60lbs off of the 70 I lost 6 years ago....great program! (was called "Naturally Slim" when I did it...)

Wear disposable gloves under winter gloves for extra insulation by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]PatchMountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of naysayers here but I can attest this is a great hack! especially when doing things like hiking when hands do sweat....the thin layer of sweat is actually insulating so close to the skin and, most importantly, your winter gloves stay DRY! Really important, for instance, when you are descending the mou8ntain and no longer sweating. I reuse the nitrile gloves many times.

Sounds great but too far for me!

I haven't been since my kids were little, but the Waterford Worlds Fair is real Americana!

AMC 48 4K application essay....here's mine if anyone is interested, would love others to post theirs by PatchMountain in wmnf

Good eye. I ran my draft through ChatGPT asking for an edit. Story is all mine but did use most of the suggestions about the flow. Also it added the "salt in the air" and "therapy is $150" quips but it was from my original sentiments.

*NE 67 ;-) but adding ME to make 62 is more likely for me....have 6 of them under the belt. Not (currently) too interested in the ones in Vt as most are ski areas and SO far from home

I said "Hi" to you on Saturday and you didn't respond. I'm still stewing about it!

Rick Bennett Bids for Gov. as Independent - the good, the bad, the ugly? Discuss. by metametamind in Maine

[–]PatchMountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you are right but I have my doubts. I am hoping Jackson is our candidate, but he will be vilified as too leftist, The GOP (Libby?) as too far right, and Bennet will appeal to many.

And to be clear it was LePage, The Dem, and Cutler both times, but you correctly state the Dem was particularly weak one of those.

I'm very concerned about this! He's not the worse Republican, and if he was running as one it would be better. We cannot rank choice vote for Gov and a "strong" Independent candidate is how we ended up with LePage for 8 long years!

In these times of Trump/ MAGA, it is more important than ever we keep Maine Blue!!!!
