Thanks for letting people know!

Very cool

😂😂😂

It’s whatever you want it to be!

He was quite dashing!

And people will still just call it “Unity” like they still call Husson “Husson”. And the best name change was UMO to UM. I don’t know anyone who says UM.

Mr. Brountas I believe

Boats and Hoes haha

I saw a photo of the old Millers last night. I was thinking about how much I miss the buffet.

Those are the worst! My BIL’s wedding cost $30,000 back in the 80s. I still can’t believe it.

That sounds like absolute hell!

No problem! This is really troublesome that someone hasn’t found them. I heard earlier that they were going to try to get planes up but there might’ve been a problem with cloud cover. I will be thinking of them and you.

Well, I hope you are right, but that is what we have been directed to do by the owner of our agency. I do not agree with waiting that long.

I have worked for years with people with intellectual disabilities. The term “Intellectually disabled” has replaced “mental retardation”. Sorry to say those words, but many people don’t understand what ID actually means. And yes many of these people have mental illness as well. I would be very interested to find out the backstory to this.

In the last year or so the federal government has implemented new regulations regarding this population’s rights. Of course we want these folks to live as independently as possible and to make as many good choices as possible. However, many live in group homes with 24/7 staff. They may live somewhat independently but with staff coming in for part of the day. And some live with parents for as long as possible. The majority have some type of caseworker.

I, and many others in this field, have concerns about some of the expanded rights. For instance, a client can leave the house anytime they want for whatever reason. We are not allowed to stop them and we are not allowed to call the police for 24 hours. That can be very dangerous for some of the people I work with. In the past, we kept any money they had locked up, and we were required to keep very precise bookkeeping and receipts that were turned in monthly. Now the clients manage their own money and keep their cash in their bedrooms. If money were stolen or lost we have no idea where to even start looking. And you can imagine that sets them up for exploitation. There are a few others that I won’t get into that we are very concerned will end in some type of disaster.

I have NO knowledge of this particular case, but my colleagues and I are wondering if this was a situation where they were not permitted to stop them from leaving, going with them, or protecting them in some other way. We are really wondering how one of the ladies has a drivers license. But she may be high functioning and was able to get a license. I really hope that they are found soon and found safe. This is terrifying.

There is a picture somewhere that shows, that from a certain vantage point, it looks like he’s giving the finger. Maybe that would help you not being scared of him.

Oooh! Yup I misunderstood!

That strip mall behind Bangor Savings and between Miguels and McDonalds.

I didn’t know it moved. It was up by the mall for years. But I haven’t been there in over a year.

Hey that little 10-year-old asked to visit the pole for her birthday! The story is somewhere on this sub.

😂😂😂 Nah, but I got drunk at either Angie’s or the Sail Loft and got kicked out for playing too much Patsy Cline on the jukebox.

And the Canadians loved it!

I miss the old gritty Portland.

Oh they’re just babies here! It’s shocking to me that we are the same age.

😂😂😂

Yup!
