Yea… based on my experience today, everything you just stated was a waste of your time to write and mine to read.
As I’ve already stated, when I did find a business that was open during their normal business hours, they have picked up more business due to others lack of availability. “By appointment only” isn’t available, it’s hoops no one wants to jump through except a noisy few who enjoy ignorance and inconvenience.

There evolution and then there is devolution. Some just prefer the wasteland they have created better, and unfortunately they are the vocal few.

Or, maybe we’ll convince a few transplants to leave. That’s a significantly better option. Not like we want them here anyway.

When the boss said to go home we’re done for the week, I went home. I’ve got more than enough other “work” to be doing.

We’ll the original 5 business’s were a lot more conveniently located.
And it absolutely did. Open your store. Be at your place of business at take my money. If you have business hours, practice them; don’t post them and then slap a by appointment only sign.

Reply to Maine residents - what do you find positive and negative about your state's low population density? by LockedOutOfElfland
Positives are that there aren’t many people up here
Negatives is that there are too many people living here inviting others to move with them.

Your negative statement is actually false.
Negative: there are still too many people here.

Todays particular headache was attempting to get some embroidery done on some sweatshirts. I had the sweatshirts, I had some free time at the end of the week, and I had money to spend. I called 3 business’s that didn’t answer their phones despite Google and websites claiming they were open, and then I drove by 2 more and swung in to find open by appointment only signs taped next to their business hours signs, claiming that they were open.
I finally found someone who was open, I placed my order and told him I was so happy someone decided they wanted to work. He also said he’s picked up more business this year because other places were backlogged or had similar problems to what I was experiencing. It’s working for him, but he doesn’t know what their issues are.
I was glad to give a business who was open and inviting to customers some business.

I like golden. I’m not a democrat, and I’m not in the 2nd district. However that man is what a politician should be. He stands up for his district and he stands up for what he believes in, not just what his party superiors tell him to believe in.

I can’t describe how bad I can’t remember the company name right now. I won’t find relief until I can find that business card

I was in this same exact scenario last summer with my camper. Had the lock, didn’t come with a key.
I think the company we called was prokeys. He’s a mobile locksmith. I don’t have his card on me, I think it’s on my desk at home or lost forever 🤷🏻♂️ but I would call him again in a heart beat

Because dems picked the worst person in their rank in file for the senate to represent Maine when they picked Gideon.
Nobody wanted some liberal from Rhode Island or wherever she was from. Smelled like shit, looked like shit, she was shit.

If I had an array that produces more power than in need I would consider a contract with the power company to keep my array up and running 🤷🏻♂️

I’ve thought this for many years before the cmp hate train came to town.
Of course they don’t want it, they have to pay full price for it. They don’t get a deal or a reduced rate. They have to pay fair market value for something and a monopolistic corporation doesn’t make money doing so.
And why aren’t these solar arrays factored into their power calculations? The meter will be able to tell them on average the amount of power produced by every array.

Right, because that’s what I said.
