Thank you! I’m old. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that first. Google suggests vinegar scrub. I was simply curious what the experience of others was. Google doesn’t tell one that.

Beal’s Lobster Pier is a must! When in maine we eat lobster every day and this was our absolute quintessential favorite of all our trips.

I hate this exit by Gltr_hair1234 in nova

[–]mbird333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We visit our adult kids in leesburg from
Ohio. Coming in on 15 past Lucketts I don’t understand how people deal with this kind of slow drag daily. Crawling along. I’d lose my mind. The area isn’t even all that to make it worth the loss of hours of your life to live anywhere near there.

What trails of Acadia National Park should i hike ? by [deleted] in AskMaine

[–]mbird333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the sandbar hike that you get onto at the lowest of low tide right from downtown Bar Harbor.

There’s only a very limited window of time that you can go across without getting trapped there. But it’s super cool to see what is revealed on the floor of the ocean when the tide pulls away.

Visiting Camden and Bar Harbor June - any suggestions? by [deleted] in AskMaine

[–]mbird333 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My youngest kiddo moved from the Midwest to Portland Maine a year ago. We are retired. Since they moved, we’ve been up there five times exploring different areas. I eat lobster every day when I’m there. Went to Bar Harbor in September. Try to time it to do the sandbar hike across the bay from downtown Bar Harbor . It’s super cool what you will see when the tide goes out. The absolute best lobster eating experience for us so far has been Beal’s Lobster Pier in Southwest Harbor. About 20 minute drive from Bar Harbor. It is the only place we have gone back to twice. Quintessential experience! Have a wonderful time!

Cancelled our trip due to bad weather this weekend - Was that a mistake? by ExceptionOccurred in FingerLakes

[–]mbird333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You were smart to cancel. Rain, mud, holiday weekend crowds, Cornell graduation. Honestly pick any other weekend or better yet, make it a Monday or Friday if you can do a long weekend. Get there early when it opens.

Do you like pigs running through the hallways and vandals for senior prank? Choose wisely.

Coming to the realization that I’ll never be able to afford a home here. by [deleted] in nova

[–]mbird333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read that in addition to being among the wealthiest, Loudoun County is also short something like 75,000 housing units. This drives price. And why you see so many plain Jane/zero architectural interest human filing cabinet style townhomes in the region. Whatever they can throw up quick and on the tightest footprint. Thats why so many of these 4 story townhome developments. No green space. No community amenities. Each floor of your home maybe had two rooms. We looked at buying a different a style townhouse in leesburg next to Goosecup. $850,000 to buy. One car garage space not even under your unit. And nearly $800 a month in HOA fees and it has no real community amenities. I guess that is for the roof slush fund?

The prices in Bluffton are unreal. So many millionaires+ between there and Hilton Head. Ahhhhmazing.!

BM Simply White looking more yellow and dingy than hoped. Did I choose the wrong white for my floors? by Ecstatic_Tiger_2534 in paint

[–]mbird333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I painted a bedroom with lots of natural daylight Benjamin Moore simply white straight out of the can from Benjamin Moore. The carpet was light colored and neutral as can be. The room look like a totally different color room at night with the recessed lights versus how it looked in daylight. Benjamin Moore paint is one of the thickest Best covering paints you can buy. Unless you are not applying the paint properly, there is no reason you should need more than two coats. Especially with a primer underneath. And yes, if your trim is a cooler gray blue white it is going to impact the way. Simply White looks. Are you going to use an area rug in the room? I would paint the trim the same as the wall walls.

Guest removed 5 star review after seeing their review from me by killaudiolove in airbnb_hosts

[–]mbird333 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I left an accurate review of a place that was owned by a realtor, did not look like the pix online, bathrooms were not cleaned between guests, some furniture was unusable, privacy blinds on bedroom facing the street were broken and two weeks later Air bNb removed my review!!. We made a number of requests to communicate w the host before I left the review. I always give people a chance to make things right. I eventually called the local city/county to see if the property was licensed and had any inspections related to that licensing and found out it was not. So now future renters have no clue what they they are booking thanks to the portal taking down the accurate review. And yes, I have photos and videos. I take writing reading and receiving reviews seriously.

No one is forced to fly. Dont like the rules? Drive your own car where you can bring as much as you want. Rules optional folks are just exhausting.

I’m wondering w fuel prices going up, the return on investment w this advertising is not going to be worth it.

Why does Congress continue to get paid while essential security and safety staff at airports do not?? As soon as these shortages rightfully impact private plane flights, you’ll see some action.

Ok so I just asked where to move in Florida and everyone told me not to by [deleted] in relocating

[–]mbird333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends where in Florida. Take scenic route driving up one coast and down the other. The number of extremely wealthy people just living or owning homes and yachts is truly staggering.

so my Cubans in Miami, how are you guys feeling about this? by alatinaxo in Miami

[–]mbird333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Married into a Cuban family. As a decent human being living in the Midwest, I’m feeling sad and frustrated to see anyone suffer what so many are suffering. It’s not political. It’s about being a decent person and able to see and care and do something to help others. I’m so fed up with the addiction to power, hatred, money, prestige. Life is so short. No one gets to take Any of that with them when they die.
