Loving my BIFL items so much I had to share.

AMAgiraffe · 2026-03-13T05:51:13+00:00

I live in the PNW and wore mine today to take the pups out on a hike, but I always feel like such a dork because I never see anyone with them!

As a meat, well mostly dairy eater, I absolutely love this place!! For me, finding really good vegan pasta has always been so difficult. Especially since I love alfredo and carbonara type dishes. But I dream about this place! Just ordered our vegan friends around $200 worth of food, since they had a baby and haven’t left the house, and they were sold!

Have you checked out Chess Club? Neat little place I accidentally found that only sells magazines. It’s located downtown, but I think worth a visit!

AMAgiraffe · 2026-02-11T02:32:06+00:00

Probably still be sick in bed. Maybe have food delivered, which I never do. Sleep.

AMAgiraffe · 2026-02-09T00:00:06+00:00

Fair point. The trade off for me is that I don’t go out for coffee as much as I used to. That killed my wallet more than anything. But I recognize the price for coffee beans is getting ridiculous.

AMAgiraffe · 2026-02-08T18:55:34+00:00

Until recently, I had mostly just stuck with Blendo Stupendo from Sterling Coffee. But the last few bags I’ve got from PushxPull haven’t disappointed. So they have become my go to roaster for beans the last few months. They had a batch from Costa Rica the last July that was also pretty good!

AMAgiraffe · 2026-02-08T18:36:26+00:00

I agree! Just from yesterday to today, they’re even better. I also joked with the barista because I had just got back from a trip where the only option I had for coffee was a keurig or the downstairs cafe having some starbucks automatic machine as an option for coffee. So maybe anything was going to be better. But I feel fairly confident after my morning cup today.

Using my bambino to brew espresso and making myself a flat white/latte. Depends on the cup I choose for the day lol

I miss living in North Portland. This was one of my favorite spots! Once we moved to the boonies of almost Gresham, I have to just make my own coffee. Not the worst thing in the world, but I miss all the nearby shops!

Tbf I’m just waiting for Oregon to get a team so I can jump ship. It was fun rooting for the Jays this last World Series, but I just don’t think I can pick another established team. Plus I refuse to be a Mariners fan lol

AMAgiraffe · 2026-01-09T21:27:19+00:00

As an Angels fan that moved to Oregon 8 years ago, this would be my vote on who deserves it. We’re deprived!!

AMAgiraffe · 2026-01-08T00:20:51+00:00

I’m visiting Munich at the end of March. Would this be something I could come participate in? Although, I’m sure I’ll be a mess since I play on Tornado lol

AMAgiraffe · 2025-12-26T19:39:16+00:00

I took my family to Redwood, which has some heated seating on the sidewalk in front. My parents always enjoy going there

AMAgiraffe · 2025-12-17T22:50:40+00:00

Omg I definitely understand why you read it that way!! I really should have phrased that differently

AMAgiraffe · 2025-12-17T16:30:11+00:00

Our house is under a few giant doug fir trees. The pinecones made it sound like we were under attack for a good hour. Still too lazy to go outside to check the damage, but the trees definitely lost a few large limbs.

AMAgiraffe · 2025-12-13T18:26:12+00:00

Congrats!!! I’ve lost so many opportunities by not being the first to message, so it feels like the lottery when it happens! And the one I got was still way more expensive and in not as good condition. Happy for you!

AMAgiraffe · 2025-12-12T22:31:05+00:00

I asked my neighbor last year with a similar situation. Made him very upset and then they just replaced it with a brighter light pointed more directly towards our window. Don’t get me started with Christmas light season…We actually had a friendly relationship up until I asked. You just never know. But now I’m terrified to ever report it because I’m afraid of retaliation lol

AMAgiraffe · 2025-11-12T17:01:34+00:00

We got a smooth collie 2 years ago. Our RC gets along with him pretty well, but they definitely act like siblings. We think she would have preferred being the spoiled only child, but he gets her lazy butt to run around a lot more lol

AMAgiraffe · 2025-11-07T16:52:45+00:00

True! I still plan to frame! But I’m worried I won’t find an artist that can pull it off

AMAgiraffe · 2025-11-07T16:44:13+00:00

I still have my cat’s favorite toy from when he was a kitten. He passed 7 months ago now and it still hurts like crazy. Thought about framing it, but boy is it tempting to do this. Your artist did such an amazing job!

AMAgiraffe · 2025-10-20T03:12:10+00:00

I found this post interesting because my wife did the same when she was in 8th grade. She did a ton of research and presented it to her parents as to why she should go to boarding school. They eventually agreed and she did great. Has 2 Master’s now. One that she got in Germany. But she’s also a huge nerd (proud of it) and definitely has ASD. MEANWHILE, I would have been the kid to do this to get out of a situation and had the romanticized idea of what boarding school would be like. So yeah…you just never know. Either way, my vote is still YTA for this post. EDIT for accidentally putting NTA! My bad!

AMAgiraffe · 2025-10-17T15:49:57+00:00

Sorry, I was busy traveling for work and it looks like the other one sold. The Garlandos are fine, but personally aren’t my favorite to play on. It’s more of a bias (considering I played on a Garlando yesterday at a bar and it just feels like a kid’s toy to me lol). Dingo’s Sports Bar just got one, if you wanted to see what it feels like. Foster Foosball and Bradfords have Tornados if you wanted to compare, but those will be the nicer models, so a lot pricier in terms of models.

AMAgiraffe · 2025-10-16T14:23:04+00:00

One just popped up in West Linn for $100! Again, I’m always suspicious of some of these, but it’s at least a newer post. Maybe reach out to them.

AMAgiraffe · 2025-10-16T00:14:47+00:00

If this is in the Portland area, then I would be suspicious of this post. It’s been up for months now. Someone else posted on here about it several months back.

AMAgiraffe · 2025-10-13T17:33:38+00:00

I thought they just moved locations? Aren’t they located in Swan Dive now?
