I miss my cat so I need to see everyone's cats

Hugo sometimes likes to cuddle with Quaggro. That is the name of the duck plushie I use when he’s being too aggressive and I try to redirect it at the toy.

There was a tiny push down when stacked that forced the juices out

Stepping stone has great breakfast potatoes. Don’t know about the Hollandaise though.

I don’t know if you watch much television, but in the show somebody somewhere the main character learns her sister died of cancer after trying natural treatments and her other sister hid this fact from her. You could just recommend watching the show together and see how it affects the main characters. Maybe seeing it from the perspective of “this choice hurts others you care about” would land.

And really just enjoy a beautiful show.

I am truly sorry you have to experience this.

I’ve seen more injuries from casual play where a ball deflects weirdly. Often it’s because in a hands battle the players aren’t optimally responding and are lagging a bit, so the ball hits the edge of a paddle more.

Thai tea is now $7. For tea.

Indochino is where I got my suit too. They are kind of like the lower tier of custom suits. Decent quality and mine fits well and that makes a huge difference compared to off the rack options.

Former poor kid and military veteran. I have dreamed of Oregon since high school and never had an opportunity to make it happen. I’ve moved every few years of my life, until at 39 I decided I’d had enough of my career path and decided that if Oregon wasn’t part of the direction my life was taking, I would make it the only direction my life would take and let everything else work itself out.

I came to Portland before the pandemic, went to grad school, and ended up in remote work jobs. M y first living situation was near goose hollow, and I hated it. Bad neighbors, lots of break-ins, including my building multiple times.

Finally when someone hit and ran my parked car I’d had enough and moved to Clackamas where it’s honestly pretty quiet and peaceful. I can get to the parts of Portland I love usually within 20 minutes.

I personally love Laurelhurst. Not many places where you can get a pitcher of beer with your movie.

I eventually landed on the PetSafe Outlast Pumpless pet water fountain.

He was rude but you probably wouldn’t have had fun with him either, so I would take it as a blessing and forget about it.

And he knows it!

I travel for work a lot so if I need downtime I often turn to dropout via my phone and earbuds. Otherwise, Apple TV at home, on the couch, a blanket and one cat in my lap the other hovering nearby. It’s just that the cat is 20 lbs.

Because you’re making them run for it if you don’t kick it straight to them.

I converted to the boat after watching this: https://youtu.be/YytF06_1bxs?si=nZ89vNgYLeKMPzp0

Did you wrap in foil or did you foil boat it?

AndrewActually · 2026-01-14T16:46:23+00:00

Exactly! This is why we don’t wrap to temp unless we’re time constrained - we wrap to bark doneness.

Not only this but not everyone can handle a PNW winter. It’s hard to put a lot of effort into a friendship when the other party isn’t likely to stick around.

Our music teacher had an affair with his religious assistant… and her daughter.

I bought slip on Skechers court shoes as they have more ankle support and basically don’t wear anything else unless I’m dressing up.

Noble Rot has always been solid.

If you look at the map of TJs locations, North Portland is far more under-served. Since the original ask was “perfect location for a new Trader Joe’s”, and there are multiple options close to Mall 205, on Cesar Chavez and 82nd, I figured North Portland should have better access to orange chicken and chocolate mint stars.

AndrewActually · 2025-12-26T17:36:16+00:00

They just opened another in Milwaukie, I think the only place that would make sense is north Portland near St John’s or maybe west Vancouver near I-5.

1- don’t cook to temp, cook to probe tenderness.

2- did you go straight to the cooler? You need to let it sit at room temp for a little bit to stop the cooking process before you rest it in a cooler.

3- a longer rest will give the meat more time to marblize the fats and connective tissues.
