I live in Portland, Maine, too! And you ain't kiddin', it's breederific up heah. Hubby and I went to Ricetta's today for pizza buffet. We had to cut our lunch short because two breeders with 4 kidz under the age of 6 sat right next to us. The kidz screaming and the mom making it worse by conversing with them in a VERY LOUD VOICE encouraging the little bastards to TALK REALLY LOUD and let out a scream every minute for no apparent reason. It's exceedingly fertile breeding ground in Maine. I think it's because the winters are very long and there's not much else to do.
