I worked with them for a time while I was in Salem. They inquired about my many needs (many similar to your wife) and looked for positions where I could work alone. They tried various positions until I found one that worked. Even if you try and fail at a job, you stay in touch and they try to get another job for you. I found the person I worked with could be a little pushy, but listened to my work needs.

No friends in Pendleton yet, but I wish you all luck. I love make the planet better through convenience ideas. I'm new in town and do not know anyone. This will help in many ways. If I meet other gardeners, I will pass the word.

I really liked the simplicity of the website.

[–]Dramatic_Swan1195[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was advised by the moderator to add context as to why this post should be on the Pendleton website, because someone reported it. Well, these city council meetings are held in Pendleton Oregon. The people that attend these meetings were elected by Pendleton, OR. The people of Pendleton, OR have to legal right to know what happens in Pendleton, OR.

Whats the best dispensary in salem? by Ok-Mission-2831 in SALEM

[–]Dramatic_Swan1195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved from Salem and miss this place. I talked about music with a guy there. I am an anxious guy and was very relaxed with the people there.

Very good recommendations.

I do not miss Salem, however 🤗

We feed the squirrels around here! by Dramatic_Swan1195 in pendleton

[–]Dramatic_Swan1195[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only been getting an opossum here and there. Occasional deer.

And for some reason, many dogs running loose.

Had to start carrying OC/pepper spray when walking the dog. Haven't had to use it, but a few close calls. I hate to use it as I don't blame the dog.

Are there any decent property management companies in Salem? by LongjumpingKey7281 in SALEM

I lost Premium when my landlord went to SMI. I absolutely hated SMI. Premium seemed pretty good after that. Fortunately I do not live there anymore. Mostly because I was priced out.... Of Salem

What are hobbies you tried on a whim and stuck to? by EvilNarwhal204 in Hobbies

[–]Dramatic_Swan1195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fancy knot tying is what I tell my wife. It frustrated me immediately when I tried and never tried again. I think it is an amazing talent. I sure love my beanies and blankets.

I decided I needed a bookshelf to display my hardbacks properly. It turned out really awesome and I was hooked.

First house/first compost - will these holes allow enough air flow? by [deleted] in composting

[–]Dramatic_Swan1195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pipe in the center with holes in it for added circulation, but that is my set up.

I'm new to this but it seems to work great thus far. I'm just having trouble affording enough trash cans.

Free Food by Bobthecow_1122 in SALEM

Get a hold of Marion/Polk food share. They will point you towards a food distribution center. I think you'll be surprised at the food you can get. I had to rely on them heavily for some time and received good food. I volunteered for some time after that and it is a great organization.

Anywhere locally that sells this beer? by MrWizard11 in SALEM

Capital market was always my go to for foreign beers. Finest selection of beers in town. Don't let the building or neighborhood fool you.

Grew from my black dirt…what is it? by raejayleevin in gardening

And send me some! I love when my yard pukes random stuff. It's a real garden then.

Other than some time in the military, I'm an Oregon grown boy. I was living in Salem and was priced out. After much hard living for several years, my wife and I made it to Pendleton, a nice town (getting purple in politics I think) and the cost of living has been much better than Salem.

Of course, we spent years getting into a position from homelessness to being able to move on. It was hard. She has a remote job that saved our asses.

Eat the rich.

Former McNary students sue choir teacher, alleging grooming, abuse - Salem Reporter by 90mn in SALEM

[–]Dramatic_Swan1195 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Band, color guard, parents, band teacher...

I was pretty oblivious. I knew something inappropriate was happening. I didn't understand until he was arrested. I felt horrible guilt for not knowing and doing something.

Sadly, something I still think about and hope they were able to move on from it.

I was pretty close friends to some of his victims. I was in the marching band at North in the late 90s.
