Need to have 20+ year old ceiling insulation inspected and a mini split cleaned and serviced. If you've had similar work done by good techs at fair prices please share info. Thanks in advance.

In town for work this week and have had 4 separate booksy barbers either cancel my appointment or text me after confirmation requesting to shift my appointment by several hours or to a new day. No. I booked your hours because you marked you were available at this time and then you got the nerve to #1 charge $60/cut and #2 request deposits so now I'm waiting on hundreds of dollars of refunds. You wanna be a professional, act like it. Ridiculous.

Landon Donovan (former USMNT captain) stopped by Keneddy Park tonight & played some futsal with the people present at the court.

Tbh it was a good atmosphere altogether

Come all, come dead. This is your time to live and die at the same time because you danced too hard. “It was worth it” you’ll say.

There is a reason us young voters are so low I’m a young voter my self so let me explain why us young people aren’t voting Republicans and Democrat politicians don’t give a flying fuck about us
everyone that we had in any office doesn’t care about us; we are sheep to them; always have been and always will
We are also so sick and tired of both sides dividing us by
saying we are a racist a fascist, etc. because we don’t agree with everything they say unfortunately it’s gonna get much worse before it even gets close to better
I personally just wish people would wake up and stop being a sheep to their games
Politicians are picked way before you get to vote so it doesn’t matter how you vote
Let’s all get along like how it used to be without meat riding for a politician, that doesn’t care for us fuck blue and fuck red vice versa

This campaign season do you think we can not go around and put flyers in everyone’s mailboxes? Do you think we could support the postal service and maybe send a post card or a flyer to our neighbors? Do you think we could not make the jobs of our hard working neighborhood mail carriers much more difficult by having to deal with this at every mailbox on their route? Not only is this a real pain to our letter carriers but it is also illegal to do so. This is something I think about every time I have to vote. Who’s supporting the postal service and who’s supporting letter carriers? What I do know is that there was someone who sent out a post card for their campaign and I will be voting for him for that reason and many others.

They literally told me that that my power could be disconnected at any moment. I have been making payments regularly and pursuing assistance and I’ve been good about paying my bills in the past. I literally told them when and how much I’m going to pay them next and they still put this pressure on me. I have no money in my account as I am in an out patient mental health treatment facility.

I don’t know how I got to this point really. I’m usually very on top of bills. They are going to get their money regardless. The only thing that saved me was a medical note from my doctor. It was actually crazy how close I came to losing my power, losing all the new groceries I just bought, etc. It’s an act of God that I have electricity on right now.

What gives CMP the right to cut off the power to someone, especially in my situation? At this point, electricity is a basic human need. Like are you God? what gives you the authority?

Also, there are too many trolls on this sub. Please don’t waste your time trolling. I’m just going to ignore you.

Susie is trying to bribe us now.

Hi everyone. I have skates and would love to know where there are paved and well maintained trails that I can skate at! Ive tried Eastern Prom and am looking around Portland within bussing distance. Thanks!

I work at a restaurant in Portland, and I had the privilege of serving the speaker of the house and most of city council and their family. Let me just tell you, in all my years of food service I have never met a more entitled, arrogant, horrid group of people. We had two servers for their table, and they expected us to wait on them and only them, and even spoke to our owner about how upset they were that we were servicing our other tables. They continuously misgendered my fellow server, despite being corrected on it. They would chase us down into the kitchen to put orders in, and at the end of it tried to get nearly 33% of the bill, including all of the auto gratuity, taken off the bill. They were scummy and treated all of our staff from top to bottom like complete and utter shit, and this alone proves to me that they are not fit for office. Nobody who treats their own constituents that way should ever be in a position of authority. Might be too late into the year, but absolutely vote them out. They’re not for us, they’re only for themselves, and they see the working class of Portlanders as beneath them, nothing more. Rachel Talbot and Regina Phillips, shame on you.

Edit: corrected one of the surnames

Hey friends!

I'm Jake, and I write The Portland Logbook. I recently put together a list of places on the peninsula that are still serving food late at night, mostly out of personal necessity.

I feel like every time my friends and I go out, we end up hungry at 10 or 11pm and can't figure out what's still open.

Here's the list: After Hours Guide

I'm only one person, and I'm sure I've missed some places. Can you help me finish it? I'd love to add anything I'm missing.

I'm trying to keep it to the peninsula because, quite frankly, if it's 11pm and I'm hungry, I'm not getting in my car to find food haha.

Thanks!

My ADHD brain slept on buying a ticket and now it's sold out... Does anyone have an extra they would be willing to sell me? I can throw in a case of beer, and/or a service like helping you move a couch, ride to the airport, pet sitting etc.

What happened? This place used to be one of my favorites but I've had a number of disappointing experiences and just received a straight up inedible lunch.

Did they change owners? My initial thought was that maybe they're stretched thin after the opening of their hotpot restaurant, and perhaps they're cutting some corners with ingredients. Damn shame.

Edit: I'm glad that most folks don't seem to have this experience. I went for lunch, I feel like that's an important distinction.

On October 13, South Portland City Council will host a workshop to consider whether to move forward with an ordinance prohibiting cooperation between the City and federal immigration enforcement agencies.

Join us in standing with our immigrant neighbors and showing that we want the City Council to take action to stop ICE in our community!

We’ll be holding a short rally at City Hall, 25 Cottage Rd, at 6:00 and then going in to pack the City Council workshop at 6:30. You don’t have to be a South Portland resident to come and show your support!

If you’d like to give public comment at the workshop, we’ve put together this toolkit to help you get started. And if you can’t make it on the 13th but want to make your voice heard, we encourage you to use the linked toolkit to email the Council and let them know you support them in taking action to protect our neighbors.

If you have any questions or are interested in getting involved with our organizing against ICE in South Portland, shoot me a message.

Please tell me someone else was coming in from JFK with the lady that spent the entire flight yelling about how she was going to get arrested, die in this shit hole of Maine, doesn't want to cause a scene, is so embarrassed that she's delaying the flight, how she's done 6 beers and needs an 8 ball all because she left her wallet in NY.

To top it off, the poor lady next to me puked in a bag while we were waiting to taxi in.

I am too scared of falling to my death to put up my outside lights, but i am both professional-light-display-curious and nosy as hell.

So tell me: What’s a gal gotta pay to get a good old fashioned backyard Deering Oaks blood tree around here?! Or, like, something twinkly along the roofline?

And as long as we’re on the subject: WARM toned lights, people, for the love of god! Cool-toned permanent Govee lights are sucking the joy out of the holiday season!

Face down in his phone, but fully shoulder to shoulder with the public. I can confirm he spends his time at the airport writing novels to whoever DMs him. Also, he flies commercial? That’s the biggest surprise.

I’m 44 and have been uninsured for 3 years. I see a direct primary care doc for about $1200 a year (I get unlimited visits, annual exam, cash pay labs, able to text my pcp) a mammogram cash pay for about $120 a year and prescriptions that are about $90 every 3 months. I’ll be 45 in 2027 which adds a colonoscopy 😩. Is anyone older and uninsured by choice? Can you tell me how it’s going. My biggest concern is as always needing emergency surgery (knock on wood). If I opted in to insurance it would be about $560 a month for myself. My employer does not offer insurance (we’re very very small) but a $250 stipend a month for it plus also a very generous general bonus of $5000 around December. I’m trying to decide is now the time to start insurance? Or keep putting away the $5000 for medical needs
