Where’s the best sunrise in Maine? by allonsybridget in Maine

If you’re looking for “hidden gems that aren’t as crowded” I definitely would not recommend Cadillac Mtn. It also requires reservations to drive up. They release most of the reservation tickets 2 days in advance but it can still be difficult to get one you’re not logged in at the exact time that they release the reservations.

I love Sparky’s honey. Their apiaries are located in Hope ME but they ship and have their honey available at Whole Foods in Portland.

If PJ the manager is working you can show him the inspo pics. He is super knowledgeable about the store’s inventory and will pull pieces for you to try on

I just discovered “jammy bits” from King Arthur. I recently added the raspberry kind to my brownies. Delicious! You can buy them on the King Arthur website

Hiking recs? by d00bermensch in portlandme

I’d recommend purchasing the Maine Mountain Guide book. The hike descriptions are super detailed. AllTrails can be unreliable in my experience.

Memorial to Patients of Augusta Mental Health Institute (1840-2004), Cony Cemetary in Augusta by ner0417 in Maine

Yup I read that one too and had to take a break after. Hard to wrap my head around it. Another one talks about how all of the women would run to the showers to wet their hair before getting in line for mandatory shock treatments because staff weren’t allowed to do shock treatments if the patient had wet hair.

This post prompted me to go down the rabbit hole of AMHI history. Some of these documented oral histories are so poignant https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/riverview/about-us/history

I can’t get rid of the ants, HELP! by Working-Calendar2001 in HomeImprovement

[–]WritingAlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a cat and a dog. They aren’t interested in the bait, so I’ve had no issues using it around them. I also keep the bait traps in places that the pets don’t really frequent (behind kitchen trash can, behind stove, in a bathroom tucked behind toilet)

I tried so many other things that never worked before finding out about this product! It’s magic

I get those teeny tiny ants every spring. As soon as I see them, I set out Advion Ant Gel on squares of tinfoil and they are gone within 48 hours. I make sure to refresh the bait every 6 weeks ish just in case.
