No, thank you.

What kind of peppers do we think these are? I planted a random seed I found on my kitchen counter to see what would grow, but there are probably at least a dozen kinds of pepper seeds we've had in the house.

Men will tell us that women only find guys who are over 6 feet tall who make 6 figures attractive. ...then Peter Dinklage will stroll in as an artisan peasant and have the ladies leaning in for him and his handicrafts.

I'm just a girl, watching a Senate race set money on fire in a way that won't take Susan Collins out of office less than 100 days from an election, wanting them to make wiser choices.

My office is separate from the house. However, the duck barn is visible. I'm in a mediation and it starts raining so in the background right here on the screen a whole Benny Hill scene plays out in this window with 13 trying to get the ducks back into the barn as he slides around on wet grass/mud.

15 has been struggling with the no snacks upstairs rule we have so I got him a cookie jar with a lid for if he MUST have something to snack on while doing homework so that there is less temptation for rodents. Friends, would you like to guess what I found in this?

'sup?

I turn 50 next month. We're supposed to do something for that one, right? Except I haven't been a party person for many years. I don't really want to drive/go anywhere. I don't really covet anything from childhood that I can but with my grown up money. I don't care for cake. What should I do?

I had better not end up with a house duck.

My car tweezers have made it back into my vehicle. Nature is healing.

15 is on his very first solo flight. I'm very glad that with minors we can still do the goodbye at the gate. That was one of the most annoying things to lose as airline travel has gotten worse.

Facebook is feeling like a desperate ex

Being an independent/unenrolled voter in Maine feels like being in a shitty relationship where you are trying to give the other person every piece of information they need to make it healthy and they just DARVO you.

Today's unexpected work challenge was locating an envelope in my office (I send things priority mail these days with no internal envelope). Why would I need a regular envelope? To snitch to court on a party for emailing me a photo of someone else's erect junk last night. Never a dull moment.

Husband, who claims to very much dislike the ducks, has taken the initiative to set up a duck-cam. What have we become?

I am pleased to say the ducks are no longer in my kitchen and have been relocated to one of the barns. It's a festivus miracle!

Folks have asked me who I think is most likely to beat Susan Collins in the fall. Of the available candidates, the one most likely to pull the voters that I did when I ran for Congress (who decided CD2 twice) is Shenna.

I’m so excited to launch my campaign for US Senate because flipping the Senate in November is crucial. I’m running to pass Medicare for all, fight for workers’ rights, and protect our neighbors. Join me in this journey at Bellowsformaine.com

If you are not from Maine or currently living in Maine, don't come here to protest ICE or to be a citizen journalist. Please and thank you. Those are valuable things, but they are likely to swing more support to Collins. We've got this.

Maine is not encumbered with Minnesota nice.

Wait...so if my brother dies am I supposed to move to Japan to program software and pick up a fascinating yet overwhelming interest in public transportation?

Come. On.

The stated rationale for the shooting from the Dept of Homeland Security -- overseen by an unqualified Secretary who Susan Collins voted to confirm -- is that a man was killed today in Biddeford for attempting to "flee the scene" of a "vehicle stop." #MEpolitics

Maine is supposed to be our safe place. How dare you take that away from us. We have some of the most conscientiously armed citizens in the country. You're playing roulette if you think you can go shooting at cars here.

It'd be so super if our federal government would stop the murders.

Please remember that others are seeing your posts, and there are literally thousands of other things to joke about without dropping homophobia. Don't cause needless collateral damage to people he already was happy to throw into a wood chipper for a moment of attention.

I keep getting asked why I'm not running for office. Our oldest kid is into this and aspires to be a pro athlete. Our youngest is an aspiring engineer/farmer. Running for office is incredibly time and money intensive.
