King of Wishful Thinking!

I felt my only earthquake around that time, too (I was in Maine). I was working evening hours at a doctor’s office housed in a very old building and we were all sure the boiler had finally blown!

OHHHH! That adds up way easier and sorry for the misunderstanding. Nice to meet you too and also…just it’s nice to have a regular misunderstanding without it going totally off the rails? 😂

And I saw in your profile that you’re from Buxton, I grew up really close to there (Parsonsfield), so hi neighbor!

Hmmm, we I have definitely known that phrase from well before memes were even a thing, so it for sure originated before that! I think it’s just one of those unattributable sayings that gets a lot of play at certain [historical bonfire] times.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all, but that doesn’t make it any less a part of the vernacular of the state and just a general part of the lore. And, it lends itself nicely to “dirigo” and all that.

As Maine goes, so goes the nation.

I’ve been playing a LOT of Fable 2 and I really appreciate how the narrative basically straight up says “once you do this, you cannot go back, go finish your unfinished business” and I’m immediately in side quest mode.

This was one of those books that I was like “ugh, sure, I’ll read it” thinking it was going to draaaag but I loved it SO MUCH. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn was another!

I especially love that this one became lore.

Another classic! I like sets of 3, so besides this one (bullet point holiday party horror) and the ultimate one (I will confront you by next Wednesday) I wonder what I’d pick for third? 🤔

Full on belly! Is it a trap? They must feel very safe.

I wish this was posted a week from today because how funny would that be, seeing as Christmas is a Wednesday this year? 😂 this one always makes me laugh (the update, too! Deal or No Deal? Bonkers!), thanks for reposting!

It’s how I know the holiday season has begun!
