I know the Liberal Cup well and they recently supplied the drinks for my wedding.

Thanks for the welcome

I don't drive so the only places I go are within walking distance which luckily for me Walmart is only 25mins away on foot. Not bad at all

Hi and welcome to Maine! I'm an hour south just outside of Portland, although my in-laws live in Augusta. How are you finding it?

You need to get a car quick!

Walking in winter won't be fun with the snow banks

I can't drive at home either so I've got to wait till I get a social security number before I can pass here.

Some days have been horrible but other days (like today) have been more than fine.
when it was -12 at the weekend it was a bit tough for me to take. I think I'll just sit next to the fire for the next 3months.

LOL -30 can be a bit of a bugger. Florida always looked nice to me.
