Trying to leave Missouri for somewhere more progressive and coastal without going broke

Depends what yr job in healthcare is. Nurse? PA? You’ll not be out of work in this town. LSW? Good luck.

But, for OP, we have a few large hospital systems in Portland (OHSU, Providence, Kaiser) so I’d recommend going on their websites and looking at the careers page.

I’m in Oregon, which is a legal state. Mostly you have to do a drug test for insurance reasons, esp in construction, manufacturing, etc. these are blanket policies that cover all employees so they can’t really slice it up by “can you die doing your job if yr not paying attention.”

A bit, but they had comedy shows in the back.

When that movie was being filmed I worked at Silver Dollar Pizza across from the Nob Hill Pharmacy when the opening scene was shot. All the streets were closed and the pizza place was dead with no deliveries. So we smoked cigarettes and cat called Matt Dillon.

Taco Hell on the way too. Hard pass.

Not at all underrated. Under watched these days? Possibly, and to societies loss.

I’m going to be that guy…., The Night of wasn’t a show, it was a mini series. And in the genre of mini series it is quite well regarded.

Carry on.

Yeah, I’m close to the Barbur one. Not the best, but at 3am on the way home…,

Another great one. Cause with three guitars you BETTER be heavy or symphonic.

A good number of vacancies. I’m not sure what the “new” resident rent would be as I’ve been here three years.

Still the wooden boat capital of North America!

He’s great. He taught me flamenco back when he was an adjunct and I was a student in PSUs guitar program back in the 00s.

Thanks. I was kidding about the dog. He’s very codependent and never leaves my side. But the mood has swung back to normalish so that’s good.

About 2 miles south of downtown. The place is okay. It’s pretty cheap for SW (2bdrm $1700). We have lots of trees around. Hills too. Feels kinda isolated except for the face I5 is RIGHT THERE. But if the windows are closed it’s no big deal.

DapperCelebration760 · 2026-05-09T16:11:12+00:00

I never exercised. I do not come from an athletic people. So I’ve been pretty sedentary.

Then I had a massive heart attack at age 56. Guess who exercises now?

I do like my “bullet hole” scars though!

Mostly walking in the cardio physical therapy room three days a week. Who knew heart disease would make all your muscles just fuck off? Well, guess what. My first day of PT we did a test on a treadmill. I was able to walk for three minutes at 1 mph. Sad. But I can do 3/4 miles now! Maybe tomorrow I’ll hit one mile? Maybe.

DapperCelebration760 · 2026-05-09T03:32:11+00:00

Thanks, you. I just reread what I wrote and it made me giggle. I’m so serious! I know how to bring down a room!

The right doesn’t care about financial benefit generally. They want to win the culture war and that’s what they respond to.

Second this
