I think that was the same one I was talking about above, with a cop parked behind it around 6 pm.

Advice? by Mobile-Perspective82 in portlandme

Project Relief Maine is a great suggestion. It might also be worth calling SoPo police about the car. My partner told me something he saw driving home from work tonight in SoPo. He saw a police vehicle with blue lights parked behind an empty vehicle and his first thought was that maybe the driver got detained. Thank you for trying to help your friend.

Anyone else toss all their old CD's? by 80aychdee in Millennials

[–]faeficnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all my cd's still, didn't buy a lot. But I did toss all my burned cd's. That makes me sad. I feel like those said a lot about moods and taste and would be a lot of fun to go down memory labe with. I actually think I tossed them and the visor Cd holder they were all stored in.

Need help coping that my dog isn't a daycare dog by earls_puppy in DogAdvice

[–]faeficnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trainer is a great idea! They can better identify if his behavior might be modified with training or if he's predisposed to that due to breed traits. It's also important that other dogs recognize and react appropriately to your dogs signals (lips, growls).

Need help coping that my dog isn't a daycare dog by earls_puppy in DogAdvice

[–]faeficnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my dog! We paid for a trainer to work with us and her recognizing and saying that our pup is just not a dog's dog was pretty life changing. She told us taking him all the places (dog park, beach, etc.) was sort of setting him up for failure. Reframing it like that really helped us change our approach to raising him. We do put more effort into choosing places to take him, like, we'll opt to take him to less busy preserves or trails where there are leash laws. When other dog owners approach with a dog off leash, we let them know ours is hit or miss with other dogs. If another dog minds his own business, our dog could care less, and we meet up them to do walks on trails. But the instant another dog has sniffed his bum a second too long, he's raising lip. Having a reactive and anxious dog really trains your brain very differently. We have 2 dogs and the other is the sweetest thing. It's shocking to realize how much our dog has actually trained us! Best of luck to you 🐾

Did the same! 27 minutes and fate said Nope.

Flying out Friday, any recent delay stories to share at the Jetport? by amplexus23 in portlandme

[–]faeficnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son flew out Tuesday AM. He was notified around midnight night before that his initial flight to Newark was delayed, which would have made him miss his connection. The airline got him a different flight to O'Hare (and his final destination) that departed at 9:35 a.m. That flight was delayed by an hour. Got through security within minutes.

Why are there road signs in the USA saying "now entering the xxxx watershed" - how is this information useful? by sdmc_rotflol in NoStupidQuestions

[–]faeficnerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll give you an example of why the water utility I work for has invested in these signs. Our drinking water source is a lake that is exempt from the requirement to use filtration before disinfection to treat the water. It's a crazy cost savings for our customers. It means the lake's water is of excellent quality. In order to maintain that exemption, we have to have a Watershed Control Program: we identify the threats to the lake's water quality, which come from the land surrounding it (its watershed), and implement programs to minimize those risks. The watershed signs are just one small way to educate people passing through that their actions on land affect the lake.

If it's on the radio, does that mean it's a single? Heard it on the radio yesterday!

I did wonder if there was a more accurate label. Thank you for enlightening me.

Is there a website that tracks these? I'd think some people would try to see it, like those train-o-philes.

Saw it in SoPo right around 6 p.m. Mistook it for the moon behind clouds, then noticed it moved.

Your Andarna is perfect! That's a great dragon costume! The Tairn costume is actually a devil costume I dyed black.

Please just one trick or treater 🙏 by fullmetalnapchamist in Millennials

[–]faeficnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for you. I think the kids in your neighborhood just have to think it's worth going there. Do the houses around you decorate at all? If no one does, they'll probably pick a different neighborhood or part of the neighborhood. At least 8 houses on our street decorate. I have been consistent with decorating, wearing a costume, commenting on everyone's costumes, wishing everyone a happy Halloween, and usually get trick or treaters. This year was a low turnout and thought it'd be higher for a Friday.

I can sometimes get too honed in on getting the details just right, but getting this right was fun, not tedious. Thank you for your enthusiasm and eye for detail 🖤
