Fucking Facebook. Should have know. It's ruined more good shit than it ever created.

You're not wrong about Susan Collins, she's a devil in a blue dress, and this horror show against women's rights would not be happening if not for her. But, rather than boycott Maine, may I suggest collectively showing Susan Collins the door.

I thought I was hungry enough to eat Arby's one time, traveling home to Portland from my in-laws' in Rumford/Dixfield after a family holiday. My husband still tells the story of me biting into a sandwich and asking, dismayed, "People eat this? On purpose?" He doesn't include that I continued, "It tastes like I already threw up!"

The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas. That is why Kansas is sometimes called the Sunflower State. To grow well, sunflowers need full sun. They grow best in fertile, wet, well-drained soil with a lot of mulch. In commercial planting, seeds are planted 45 cm (1.5 ft) apart and 2.5 cm (1 in) deep.

Salsa, sweet 100s, & sun gold tomatoes. Marigolds, cornflowers, phlox, daisies, & sunflowers yesterday. Going to directly sow in a week or two - summer squash, peas, beans, cucumbers, snapdragons & probably some more of the flower seeds I started seedlings of.

You should check out the Blistered Fingers bluegrass festival. I have been to the one in Litchfield and it is a great time.

Arcadia. People like anime and games there.
Another option is to get a dog and go on frequent walks where people congregate. Even though I’m married I usually end up talking with other dog owners if I’m walking my pups through a park or something. Dog parks can also be a good place to start up a conversation.

It's a Xmas tree. They put it up there with a crane, and normally take it down in the spring when they fire the paving plant up. Those silos hold hottop

I really have nothing to add as a happily married dude, but just to say that I really feel for people that have to deal with the whole dating app scene. From an outsider looking in, it looks awful and I would have no clue how to navigate it.

Facebook groups largely overtook that market

Is the Meetup app still a thing, or has that died away? I met my wife through hiking. A friend I know from work met her on hikes and kayaking trips using Meetup and introduced us on another hike.

The town’s definition of livestock is kinda irrelevant to this.

Honestly, do shared hobbies in clubs where there will be single women, and don’t be too weird if the vibe isn’t right. A lot of anime / table game hobbies usually have women that are taken, because their boyfriends/husbands get them interested in it.
A lot of Women move to / live in Maine to do hiking, biking, Skiing (AT/XC), other light active sports, etc socially to maintain relationships. When I’m out on the trails, it’s usually a large group of women with 1-2 dudes. I hardly ever see a group of chads broing out unless it’s at a mountain bike park.
A lot of Men move to / live in Maine for isolation. Ice fishing, hunting, ATVing, things that require low social interaction. This is a growing problem, because it impacts how people interact in towns and cities. As their social skills deteriorate, they don’t question their incompatibility with others but question others inability to align with the man’s needs.
That type of clash will always leave each sex thinking “why can’t I find a partner?” If women are only swiping through camo wearing fish pics or men wearing all black with katanas.

Matt Brown. He used to be sown in Sanford but I think he's in NH now. Honestly, his work is literally amazing. Like the true definition of the word
