Patrick Dempsey is from Lewiston and comes back often. Every September he hosts and runs in the Dempsey Challenge, a charitable event where 100% of the funds raised provide personalized, holistic services at no cost to cancer patients, their loved ones, and care partners. 18 million dollars have been raised to date.

Pillsbury, huh? Yeah, that makes sense. But we recently changed our flag. We are now completely toeless. Bodiless, actually.

Maine attempted to change our flag to a single pine tree but it was voted down. Too stark and modern for New Englanders I guess..

I guess that’s what passes for modern there – a revamping of the flag from 1901-1909 using the tree design from a 1939 flag. 😉

The maternity map is an important one. As for the celebrities, Mark Ruffalo might make the top ten for my state, but I’d surely put Spencer Tracy and Les Paul ahead of him; but I’m old.

Just because Beyonce was born in Texas doesn’t make her the most famous person here. I don’t even like her music, or her for that matter. Id’ take Patrick Dempsey over Beyonce any day, lol. And yes, BEACHBOY’S, where is your love for the gal’s from the Southwest, huh? Oh that’s right we don’t need a label, because we’re bitchin!

Ok. Famous brands? Yeah, Florida has its priorities in the right place. 🙂 Most famous person here? Pitbull? Oh please. He is not even the most famous person on his block. As for maternity leave, I agree (with an asterisk). The father of the child should also get equal time off. I know this is going to get backlash, but marginalizing the workload of a new father shows a lack of equality.

I’m fine with dad getting time off if he’s going to stay home and take care of baby when mom goes back to work.

The brands mostly make sense, even if I haven’t heard of many from the midwest. But the celebrities? Kim Kardashian from California?! Surely we have someone with actual talent who is equally famous? Also, Taylor Swift should be on there somewhere. She and Beyonce are probably the most famous/ well-known celebrities, right?

What passes for talent these days is highly subjective.

I don’t recognize the famous people. But I agree with the brands in the state where I grew up, and CA where I lived for 30 years.

I grew up in Nevada and I have no idea what Zappos is. We treat mother’s and newborn babies with the same respect as New Guinea – is that right? Totally believable for a country anxious to make more women pregnant while cutting funds to end childhood hunger!

Well, That was interesting since I had to look up Zappos. I am originally from CA so I will go bybwhat the Beach Boys think of women there, and as for Celebrities?..I don’t even know who the guy is for Nevada.

I pray LL Bean doesn’t sell out to China. I just read a report that much of the farm and forest land up there is now owned by that country 😦

According to Maine –
“By percentage, Maine has more of its privately held agricultural land under foreign control (21.1 percent) than any other state, according to the report.
The vast majority of that land is timberland owned by Canadians or Canada-based businesses.
Per the report, Canadian investors own 2.9 million acres in Maine, while investors from the Netherlands own 187,294 acres, U.K. investors own 717 acres, German investors own 22,605 acres, and investors from “all others” own 314,982 acres.”
Though I did read the Chinese have bought property to grow marijuana now that it’s legal here
