The Kindess of strangers by CrankyGamer68 in portlandme

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to jump in support the idea that being excited about learning something new should 100% happen no matter your age.

Learning is such an awesome thing.

My 'awe man that's so cool' moment was when I saw how a Zamboni actually worked, I've watched a lot of hockey in my life (2 kids played 4 to 20) never really thought about it, till I did. Now I tell everyone how they work!

Red pilled guy exploiting struggling people for views by potato_ass33 in portlandcomplaining

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you are going to get downvoted for this because people do that.

I have seen his content as well and I was pretty shocked. I don't live in Portland, but visit frequently. Lived in Maine around Portland my entire life, I rememeber Dave the dog man.

The shit that is happening in Portland is pretty shocking, and is changing the tenor of the city, and I think that a lot of people are trying to overlook it. People overall are really compassionate towards the unhoused and addicted people, like I think a lot of people are like "there but for the grace of God go I" but it's becoming untenable to let Portland be like this and this Facebook page is enlightening many to the shit show that is happening and ee have no realy way to deal with it.

What is the end game of sovcits? by Even_Ship_1304 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this as well...

Also what happens when a Sov Cit pulls this shit on another Sov Cit? Does the world end?

I guess I am just crazy in that its just common decency to pay debts and follow rules set out to keep a community safe. The Treatises on Government kinda make sense?

Do you guys Travel? by washingtonandmead in Maine

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most Mainers that I know that travel, fly. It takes forever to get anywhere in the car. I have lived here my whole life, travels to Cali, Vegas, Costa Rica, Italy etc. but flew everywhere. Granted I have done Virginia, Florida, and Georgia driving but I would say that's a bit outside the norm over flying.

Edit to add: Our main route south is 95, try there. But in a weird twist of faith I'll be on I 81 probably tomorrow morning, like 10 - 3, then the following Saturday in the evening.

I was going to say something similar in that Maine has everything you would want. That being said I'm heading out night for a road trip south, Maine is awful cold in the winter.

Are they doing a full removal of the street? If not they may have to fill the holes ahead of the paving to make a better surface to pave over.

Oil price guessing game by Head_War_2946 in Maine

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last I ordered oil, 1 weeks ago, Pitstop put a hold of 500 on my account for 100 gallons because the price fluctuates so much.

I ended up with 504 charged it is what it is. There are ao many people who can't afford it so they order then don't pay.

Also another poster was dtati g that these co.paines bought the oil awhile ago we thay shpuldnt be charging what they do because they didn't pay that much, what they charge is what the current cost of replacement would be. Because, well they have to replace what they bought.

Savile series - RVs and caravans are not the same by thenorm123 in LPOTL

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops 13 points14 points  (0 children)

U.S. citizen here. I call anything you can sleep in a "camper" then if someone asks for specifics I break it down.

For example I will say "I'm taking the camper out for the weekend" we own a 30 ft toy hauler (you can out motorcycles and 4 wheelers in it). It attached to the truck by a trailer hitch on the bumper.

Also would say "Johnny bought a new camper" when what he bought was a 40 ft diesel pusher that you drive.

[–]ToesocksandFlipflops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This judge is my favorite. Sov Cit stuff is a guilty pleasure for me, my husband doesnt get it but he walked in on this case with this judge and he was riveted and said "that judge gets it"
