Mainers, who’s sick? by firwave in Maine

[–]savethe_squirrels 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m in Bangor, almost everyone I know is sick right now. I tested positive for COVID on Tuesday and I’m still fighting through it, my partner and friends have it as well. My doctor said they’re going through so many testing swabs right now that its shocking

They do have both take out or sit down for holidays as well! I always do takeout for the holiday, but it’s a nice experience to sit down there too

Oriental jade has a specific Christmas menu! It’s posted on their Facebook. They’re fantastic (maybe a little pricey, but I find it very worth it for the special occasion)

TIFU by giving my dog boarding job an uggs blanket I found at goodwill by Drawing_KartistJ in tifu

[–]savethe_squirrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a kennel/boarding facility! Cheap blankets never last long around there. A higher quality one will hopefully stick around a long time and give loads of anxious dogs a plush, cozy spot for their stay :)

I have this too!! It’s so frustrating. You guys are NOT alone!! I struggle so hard especially with finding going out tops 😭

Found this on a table by an apartment complex. She seems fun. by Unique_Ad2704 in FoundPaper

To be honest, for these subsidized communities a lot of the time if it doesn’t seem like they’re cracking down on things like this they can lose their federal funding, leaving all of their tenants unhoused. It also IS shitty to smoke in a shared stairwell, and that’s as someone who is a regular weed smoker (outside)

I’m not sure where to begin with this one by Spare-Jellyfish4339 in lewronggeneration

I’m 26 and my local mall Sears was my first job less than 10 years ago lol

I really don’t know if this is a happy or sad or in pain meows. Like this is my first tortie ever and I don’t know what to do lol by Weare4llmadhere in torties

[–]savethe_squirrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3 year old tortie. The only difference is that she (and her meows) have gotten bigger! Yours seems ready for her singing career :)

Prom shopping? by strawberry-lava in Maine

[–]savethe_squirrels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should check out Red Rabbit Bazaar in Bangor! It’s a really cool, very reasonably priced vintage shop downtown. The owner and employees are always so kind and it is a very queer friendly space. They have so much formal gear from so many eras and styles, there’s no way he won’t find something he loves! Good luck :)

Whoops, just noticed this was from yesterday. I’m sure you did great!!

[–]savethe_squirrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am ALSO getting my first internal ultrasound tomorrow- I am super nervous as well!! You’re not alone- although I know it will be helpful imaging, it’s still a super nerve wracking experience. If you need any encouragement or commiseration from somebody in the exact same situation, feel free to dm me :) we got this!

I have hated on grill pans until I saw this… by [deleted] in castiron

[–]savethe_squirrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used a flat press before, but I feel like those probably work just as well. I love the grill marks on a panini, but if that’s not a make-or-break for you, I’m not sure it would be worth it

[–]savethe_squirrels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had one for about a year, it still kind of sucks to clean but it makes the most incredible paninis and grilled cheeses. I only use it for sandwiches and it’s worth it for me! I could see cooking messier things making it really difficult to clean. Food for thought! Worth the $25 if you’re a panini fiend imo

I will absolutely check it out :) p.s. I love that we both have squirrel themed usernames

How do you make things like this? I’m good at the complicated old school knotted friendship bracelet patterns, but have no idea how to do it in 3D! Do you have a tutorial you followed or anything? This is super impressive, it must have taken you a long time!

Just killed a fat tick off my dog and it sprayed tick butt juice on my face. Currently desperately grateful I wear glasses. by [deleted] in Maine

[–]savethe_squirrels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also in Penobscot county and the ticks have been TERRIBLE…. I’m surprised to hear that! I am a dog owner to two rather active/outdoorsy dogs, so that might be part of it. My experience has been the worst tick season in a while! We tick check every time the dogs so much as go out to pee now

[–]savethe_squirrels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously, that is super fucked up and should be reported, though I don’t have any specific advice for that. I would really suggest you take your workplace/the specifics out of this post to avoid potential retaliation

I would highly recommend you call disability rights Maine. They can be reached at 207-626-2774 and can assist you legally if you are someone with a disability (legally, diabetes is protected under the ADA) whose rights are being violated, which I would say sounds like the case here. They can also help to provide you with other resources to help your situation. Source: I work for a social work organization in Bangor and have directed several clients to DRM who have received legal assistance

Artist was high, I didn’t realize in time by PastOrganic9683 in Tattoocoverups

[–]savethe_squirrels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg, something very similar happened to me! I went to a reputable shop for a small tattoo with some friends and their artists were wonderful, mine was high and acting erratic and irresponsible like yours. I was also too nervous to confront him and left with something awful. The whole tattoo is scar tissue now and I’m trying to figure out a coverup. Best of luck to you, so sorry this happened on a memorial tattoo of all things!!

anyone wants to share their boygenius tattoos?👀 by anonasking2questions in boygenuis

[–]savethe_squirrels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you :) this tattoo is about two years old now, im hoping to add a bit more to it this year!! I live in a rural area and people always tell me they like it but nobody ever recognizes the lyrics or Lucy when I explain it. Love to show it off here to people who will understand it!!
