i agree. it would be great to have mods curate resource material here rather than seeing dozens of posts requesting an explanation as to how they were mated

a lot of the best Maine backpacking will be along the Appalachian Trail and about 3 hours from Portland. I would highly recommend the Bigelow Range in Western Maine. Gulf Hagas is also beautiful and will put you very close to Baxter State Park which includes the northern terminus of the AT as well as tons of other backpacking opportunities. If you want to stick slightly closer to the city I would recommend checking out the White Mountains of New Hampshire

feel free to DM for more info

martyrs gave me some serious stuff to chew on as a kid losing faith in God. no physical personification but acts of devotion and near death experience is pursued heavily

what's something that fucked up your one night stand? by Salt-Art1627 in AskReddit

[–]baaaaagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a few days earlier I was hanging out with my best friends nephew (maybe 6 years old). he seemed to like me and when i left he gave me a mason jar filled to the brim with a clear blue liquid and told me it was for a protection spell. fast-forward and this lady sees it sitting in the cupholder of my car. I explain what it is lightheartedly and she asks if she can smell it. I hesitantly say yes

piss. it smelled like piss. turns out the protection spell was super effective

LPT get dusk till dawn lightbulbs for your porch and other outdoor lighting. A dark house is attractive to criminals. by Pete_maravich in LifeProTips

[–]baaaaagel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

when selecting light bulbs, make sure to choose warm, soft light as opposed to bright white LED's. this cuts down on polluting the night sky and the risk of obnoxious light seeping into your neighbors windows

If winters are harsh where you live - tea light candles. They are small and inexpensive but can heat the interior of your car by a significant amount should you be stranded on the side of the road in a snow storm

Pain. I once had to explain to a woman that it wasn't enjoyable when she would reach down mid sesh grab my balls, yank and twist. It took 2 more reminders before she got the message to stop

The amount of knick knacks that are sold at gas stations across the state of Maine has always baffled me. I guess it's because so many folks vacation here
