Very annoyed with coffee shops that do all sorts of coffee/espresso/tea drinks but can’t make a London Fog.
One shop asked me how to make it, at least she knew what kind of tea. The second made it with “English tea” and no sweetener. It’s ok to ask a coworker how to do it correctly.

C (16) sits by the tree, in the seat I normally sit in while reading, he’s looking at the tree, starts laughing and says “was this you!?” He pulls an ornament off the tree and brings it to me. He brought me the one on the right. Apparently @chaddah.bsky.social bought new stuff for the tree. 😂

Boys have the day off, they watched a little tv and the started playing a Wii game. Next thing I know 16yo is coming by my office w/his coat and says “we are cleaning… and playing Wii <something>”
I just nod
I go for coffee and 12yo is vacuuming.
I guess they really are cleaning.

That moment you get a chance to google that thing you’d “google later” but now have no idea what it was.
Was it something from my book?
A Christmas gift idea?
A craft idea?
I’ll remember as I’m falling asleep.

I think far too many new businesses use FB as their only way to communicate/only web presence. You need a website, you need word of mouth, you need customers sharing your social media posts EVERYWHERE.
This is the first I’m even hearing of this business, I’m in brewer about once a week.

Mack’s is the second restaurant in eastern Maine this week to say a lack of customer and community support forced them to close.
Brewer restaurant closing after less than a year
Mack's Restaurant and Tavern in Brewer is closing permanently due to lack of customers and denial of an amusement license for events.

When you’ve written an email and you question if that makes sense, then you rewrite it, and it makes less sense, then you try again and send it to a coworker and ask, does this make sense? Because it’s the end of the week and everything is a blur. He confirmed it made sense to him.

Are you running low on any of your household staples? Don’t buy/reorder yet, keep an eye out for sales, they are starting. I just mentioned it’s time to order a face wash refill and today I get the 30% off Black Friday sale email.
I use YTTP, they do a refill pouch.

We’re in a school district that starts school after Labor Day, the Superintendent sends a monthly email, this month he mentions that Labor Day 2026 is late, so he’s giving people a heads up that school will probably start before. I’m amused by this because you know he’ll get complaints.

Maine knitters! If you’re near Brewer Mardens get there for Jagger Spun at 75% off!
There’s not a lot left but if you like the thinner yarn (or doubling up) it’s a great buy.

Teen is driving, it’s sprinkling, it picks up and it’s raining, me “you should probably put on your… blinkers? WIPERS!”

Coworker calls asking about a specific project, I sit and stare at my computer. Then I say “sorry, I think you broke my brain. I just got my new laptop and I’m so lost. Where should that be…” 😆
He understood, he also just got a new one but he said he doesn’t want to use it.

Asking my 12yo to get the load out of the dryer, I’m mid instructions and he starts moonwalking out of the room. And yes, it’s the Nick Miller moonwalk because that’s what he knows.

My boys are outside playing basketball, it’s snowing. Older one comes in and puts on a long sleeve, I told him to have his brother come in and do the same.
He comes in and argues with me about this. I tell him IT IS SNOWING, which means it’s cold. Just put one on. 🤦🏻♀️

My thoughts, that no one asked for. I’m glad Golden isn’t running for reelection, he’s barely a democrat, only got elected because the other guy was hard right wing. People are threatening our elected officials, this isn’t hearsay, some have even been killed (Melissa Hartman), protect your family.

The problem with an "every man" candidate is that they reflect the values of "every man" and some of those are very very shitty.

This is behind a paywall so I can’t read much of it. If refs let the game get too physical without handing out yellows it will get more physical until a fight does break out. This isn’t an isolated incident and it’ll only get worse.

A fight broke out in a Maine soccer game. It should’ve been a teaching moment.

By not publicly addressing what happened between the Fryeburg and Lake Region boys teams, the schools' leaders miss an opportunity.

After multiple elbows to the back/head, and grab & shoves during tonight’s high school soccer game and NO CARDS. My kid had enough and went for a player. My kid got a red. But you know what? Good for him!
