Didn't have power from 6ish am until around 10 pm yesterday.

Hoping that today we have power all day since we are hosting a large dinner party tomorrow night.....

We have our power right now, thankfully. We had our power out the entire day yesterday. Our friends, who also live in Auburn, only had their power out for a few hours in the evening. I'm assuming they are on a similar power grid (or whatever it is called) as you guys.

Woke up to a power outage in Auburn.

My husband took our generator to his shop a while ago and despite my many maaaaaaaany times reminding him to grab the darn generator with him yesterday, he of course forgot it so now we wait.

God bless all the crews working out there trying to get our power back on! Praying for everyone's safety

Dude, what is your problem?

In this day and age, I'd expect talking about mental health would be pretty normal, but I guess not for you. If you need to open up about some feelings, there are plenty of subreddits, if you ever need it.

Seasonal depression does suck and this person from Florida should know what they are getting into because it affects a lot of people up here. Less sun=less vitamin d= feeling unhappy/miserable.

And I'm not even complaining. I'm stating fact. Not only that but I even wrote what had been helping me in order to try to offer up a remedy if this person ever needs it.

Oh boy are you going to have fun (jk). I moved to NH 4.5 years ago from VA.

Seasonal depression.

It freaking sucks but it affects a lot of NH folks. We recently got a dog and going on daily walks with her has really helped with that.

Also, NH is a purple state if that's what you're talking about when referring to "Florida craziness". THATS what makes NH great. Despite what New Hampshire subreddit may seem like, people are much more tolerant of each other despite political differences in real life here. I grew up in a very red district in VA and even though I'm conservative, I love that NH is much more welcoming in that sense. Also, if you're politically left leaning and want to be near people with similar views, I'd recommend staying near the cities because a lot of conservatives live out in the country or in small towns.

Also, be prepared for lots of snow. Driving sucks in the snow. And be prepared for loss of electricity. Get a generator. We have several black outs every year, mostly due to snow and ice. It gets cold if you don't have a generator.

Summers are lovely here! Lakes region is awesome to visit in the summer time! And the ice castles are dreamy in the winter time. The ocean is cooooold but I've heard it's tolerable come August.

Overall, NH is a lovely state! Lots of awesome things to do :)

It was a kid that murdered the mom and two kids so they can't release their information.

(Side note: the story came out right before my husband left on a 2 week trip. I'm a mom with two kids around the same ages as the kids who were murdered. I had nightmares for daaaaaaaaays and couldn't sleep. I feel so bad for them)

A little.

My husband owns a used car dealership and a month or two ago, we had to bring the price down on a lot of cars (ranging anywhere from $500-1k less) since they weren't really selling well.

I haven't asked him how the auction prices have been doing but it's funky right now, if I remember correctly.

I don't think Trump will be a nominee in the 2024. And if he is, he will 100% not win.

Lots of conservative (including myself) are taking a step back from him with the recent events. There are still plenty of people who are rooting hard for him but it's a lot less than it was 2 years ago.

I truly don't think it'll be beneficial to the republican party for him to attempt to run for president in 2024.

If DeSantis runs, he has my vote!
