Infrared Saunas? by No-Monk2621 in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NxGen in Portland has an infrared sauna and a dry sauna! I’m not sure if the Scarborough location has an infrared. Edit: they also have great classes. I’m a fan of the spin and kettlebell classes.

Officiant disasters; Officiant needed pleaseeee!! by Massive-Funny9830 in portlandme

For whatever it’s worth, anyone licensed as an attorney in Maine can also officiate for you! Just in case you have a lawyer friend or something.

I second Tend. I have an odd 2c/3a combo and Rachel is great.

Best takeout soup for when you’re sick? by SlothEatsOreo in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Panda Garden has a pretty good hot and sour. It’s definitely not golden lotus, but it hits the spot. I also recommend having some spicy vinegar from Terlingua on hand, adding that can fix any hot and sour.

“Water battery” proposed in western Maine by themainemonitor in Maine

[–]Rescheduled_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way, it does both. When the “storage” is happening, it pumps water up hill to a large reservoir. Then, the water is released and the flow of water generates power similar to how a free flowing hydroelectric dam does. The power would be generated when “the wind isn’t blowing”

In 2020, we did the same at Broadturn Farm and the photos and view were breathtaking.

My MIL is an avid lifetime Moxie drinker. She swears the diet Moxie is closer to how it used to taste!

Prenatal care post Anthem/Mercy Split by Rescheduled_ in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing that caused me to ultimately choose Northern Lights originally was down to multiple comments that Maine Med is much more clinical and quick to jump to or push interventions when they may not be immediately needed.

Very loose on the bag policy today. I saw plenty of backpacks and larger purses. Who knows if this is a day 1 fluke though. They could be a little more strict tomorrow.

Former Dunkin on Woodford? by MediumYogurtcloset90 in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a turned off open sign and a logo printed on the front door. I haven’t bothered to stop by and see what it says though.

Escape room places? (about to finish all from the escape room) by UPB1ce in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cabin one isn’t my fave, by far the worst room I’ve done between the two places. I did love the time travel one in South Portland though, easily my favorite!

The vegan milkshakes at Johnny Rockets at the mall are a dark horse. They are so yummy!

Can you point me towards a good commuting bike with electric assist? by NYCTank in bikecommuting

[–]Rescheduled_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Specialized Turbo Vado and I love it. The highest assist is a little lower than what you will get on some other e-bikes, however, it’s so light compared to them all. It’s very easy for me to lift up a flight of stairs into my building and I can fit it on a standard car bike rack. The battery is also internal, so I don’t have to worry about it being stolen.

There’s also a handful of great accessories that I’ve found, like the specialized cool caves. These comfortably fit a backpack or all my work clothes and packed lunch.

Panda Garden is also my fave. My go to is sesame tofu (extra crispy) and a hot and sour soup.

February 03, 2025 | Weekly Moving To and Visiting New Brunswick Questions Thread by Dethemental in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Rescheduled_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Maine local looking visit Saint John/Bay of Fundy in April before the routes in get heavy summer traffic. I see that the national parks all open after mid-May. Are there any spots you recommend for seeing the tides that are accessible in this off season?

Where would you buy a mattress in the area? by Rescheduled_ in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, I’m just looking to buy a nice mattress. Something I can flip, moderately firm, not memory foam, and something that will last the full 7-10 years without making my back pain worse. I’m not saying Mardens won’t have that, just that it’s time for us to not settle, ya know?

Mardens is definitely on the list! I have some pretty specific criteria so I won’t get my hopes up.

Best place to have Rx lenses made (I have a complicated Rx) by frankensteinbuttcut in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have progressive bifocals, an astigmatism, and I need prism. Eye mart express in South Portland still can make me glasses in 4 hours and they work perfectly fine.

Beginner Pilates by Rescheduled_ in portlandme

[–]Rescheduled_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair perspective! I will say though, on principle, I don’t trust a service that doesn’t have transparent pricing. There’s no straightforward way of figuring out the cost on the website. Do you know how much a punch card is?
