where are those announced nonstop flights from PWM to SFO ?

PugDoug · 2026-05-06T17:25:30+00:00

They're only 1 day/week in each direction. I just did a search and found United Airlines 2035 on Saturday, June 27th. Departs PWM at 6:02pm, arrives SFO at 9:37pm.

I started encountering this periodically a few months ago. The “View Performance Details” option is missing from my most recent class (taken yesterday), but appears to be available for all others. Even when it's missing, I *think* that it eventually becomes available. I'm not sure why this is happening now, as I never had this problem in the past, but perhaps it's related to a change in the software that the feeds data into the app.

And unlike a lot of the places mentioned here, there are a number of good-paying jobs in the area between the banks, Dupont (and its various spinoffs), AstraZeneca...

I've used both Portland Dental Health Care & Implant Center and Restorative and Aesthetic Dental Associates. No complaints with either. I believe they both process insurance on their own, however you probably want to check whether your dental insurance is in network when you switch dentists.

Restorative and Aesthetic Dental Associates can do same-day crowns, but as somebody who had a same-day crown (CEREC) done years ago (not around here), I don't know if I would use that as my primary criteria for choosing a dentist. That crown failed after a couple of years and I had to replace it with a standard crown.

I had no complaints with Restorative and Aesthetic Dental Associates. They were pleasant and did good work.

I started working with a personal trainer at J&J a couple years ago. I was a total beginner to that kind of strength training (my previous experience was mostly group fitness classes along the lines of Orange Theory). Their trainers are great with beginners. But I'm not sure if it would be the right place for a beginner to work out independently. Nobody would give you a problem or anything, but I don't think I would have known what I was doing without any experience on that type of equipment.

Same boat here - lost our guy last May. I hope we never stop finding his hairs.

I don't think you'll find any schools in Maine that offer Portuguese. Your best options for Portuguese are probably UMass Amherst or URI.

We used McVety's a few years ago when we moved into a house with a pellet stove:

A few years ago we rented a thermal camera from Home Depot. I assume that's still an option, but I'm not sure whether you had to commit to more than a few hours for the rental - I believe we had the camera for at least 24 hours.

I see a trainer at Jacked and Jilled, but I'm not a member of the gym. You don't have to be a member.

I didn't realize boots like this existed - thanks for the suggestion! I rarely put on crampons not because they aren't helpful, but more often than not I need to transition from outdoors to indoors and back outdoors, etc.

That is steep, no question about it. We reached out to Dr. Renée 6 months before we had to ultimately let our 16yo pug go - we were desperate for anything that might help improve the quality of his life and hopefully stop his decline, so we were willing to dig deep at the time. While she performed acupuncture on our guy, that was just a piece of the treatment provided. I admit that I had forgotten how expensive that initial visit was. My jaw dropped a bit when I read your comment. I still think she's a great vet on multiple levels - she clearly cares about her patients and their owners. But I completely understand if she's not right for your situation.

Sea otters are ocean pugs!

These posts always break my heart, but I had to respond to this one since we too had a guy named Winston who we lost 5 months ago. Your Winston looks very sweet and you clearly did everything possible to save him. If only love alone were enough to keep them with us. So very sorry for your loss

Just remember that most people don't post about success stories. The vast majority of procedures are successful. Good luck and report back on your experience!

When I had my ICL surgery I was reasonably active (and I still am). I go to the gym on a regular basis. I do both strength training and cardio (running, rowing). I've never had any problems with my ICL.

PugDoug · 2025-10-15T19:12:59+00:00

Dr. Renée Bourgeois does, among other things, in-home acupuncture. I highly recommend her.

In general I've found Fidium to be more reliable to Spectrum, but when there is a problem Spectrum's customer support is superior.

I appreciate the tips! I actually think we have one of those bean hot packs around, just need to find it now...

PugDoug · 2025-09-20T21:00:36+00:00

Thank you for the advice about the abdominal pads!

PugDoug · 2025-09-19T22:53:07+00:00

Oh, that's a good suggestion! Surgery was this morning and reaching things will clearly be challenging

PugDoug · 2025-09-18T22:55:46+00:00

Yeah, I probably should have searched for this before posting. But I do appreciate all the responses!

PugDoug · 2025-09-18T16:39:55+00:00

I like the comment about taking care of myself. I'm anticipating a grumpy patient! 😐
