I’ve had consolidated communications “business class” fiber for two years and it’s been awesome. No downtime and consistent speeds. I’d have no hesitation to try out Fidium based on my experience with their business fiber product.

Ahh, I used to go to the one in Portland, but that was a long long time ago. I live in Biddeford now, no such thing here.

Oh this made me laugh! So true

Apparently there are Viking runes at spirit pond near Freeport.

If she can’t get exactly what she wants, maybe planning to spread her ashes there would be soothing to her? Your mom sounds like an amazing woman. I’m so sorry to hear about a potential cancer diagnosis. I wish you all peace.

There are tidal power stations currently in use, so it does work in practice.

Strong winds? What? No.

Basically. I did it while I was pregnant and went back after the maternity leave. It was short lived, I look back and have no clue how I did it. In my exit interview I let them know their practices were like an abusive relationship, every time we said we couldn’t do it anymore they would offer us more money to stay and deal with it.

I’d recommend living in Portland or South Portland and visiting OOB occasionally when the mood strikes. Portland is a wonderful city with lots going on year round. Your commute would be super easy. Unless you’re into the off-season boardwalk experience on the daily, not sure what OOB would offer you for a living experience that would be better than those towns.

That said, if you’re already locked into a lease, it’s not a big deal. The distance between them is not big and OOB will be a fine place for you and your family to spend a few months.

Nice

No

parts of augusta, too

I know just recently that Green Burials have been arranged.

May want to see how they made this work with which State agencies.

Thanks for the input. I'm planning on being there from September through Dec. I have small children, so I was hoping for a decent area. Would you recommend OOB over portland?

Dude! Came to say this and you beat me to it lol good man.

Thanks!

Wow, divorce is down quite a bit, eh? Where are all of the "Millennials are ruining divorce!!" headlines?

This only works if you are the same socioeconomic class, religion, political ideology, ethnic group, and sexual orientation as most people around you.

I think you took it personally, not them. Otherwise why would you make such a big hissyfit over this?

Edit: This guy did the same thing to me as he did u/misterman-maine with blocking me and then popping the "a redditor is concerned about you"

Portland has a bigger drug problem than OOB. Everything is bigger in cities.

IMO anywhere else in the greater Portland area is better than OOB and Portland in regards to open/noticeable drug use/abuse (and homelessness). Not to say it doesn't exist- in South Portland (separate town from Portland) I notice the unhoused daily, but not nearly to the same extent as the other two places mentioned.

1. Your mom sounds badass if this is her request.

2. Good Ground, Great Beyond is the nonprofit that tried to legalize these. I'd check with them.

Imma comment here because this is what I would like done with my body as well. So hopefully this keeps me updated.

15 minute... You must mean walk? I don't think you could mean drive and be that far away from the beach, and still in OOB. Not a large town at all area-wise.

It's safe, except in tourist season where you may occasionally deal with trashy drunks.

yes absolutely my alt. 100%. definitely that invested in this thread.

literally what the fuck... all i did was make a generalized comment about a common misinterpretation OF AN AREA CODE FOR A PHONE NUMBER and this psycho takes it personally. not my problem! i'm outta here

It's safe. Don't worry. Drive to work. It should take about 20 minutes, half hour. Culture depends on when your four months there takes place. It's a working class tourist beach town that is crowded and busy with a bit of a carnival atmosphere adjacent to the beach in the summer, not bad in fall and spring, and deserted in the winter. BUT, if you're fifteen minutes from the beach, none of that should affect you. A lot of people from Quebec come down in the summer so you'll hear French spoken on the street. Pine Point in Scarborough on the north end of the beach is a nice place to pick up a lobster roll for supper and eat it on the beach on summer evenings, less crowded than OOB proper and quite pretty. Ocean Park is a quaint community on the south end of the beach. I lived in OOB for a year and enjoyed it.
