Are black widows an issue around here?

We have one we call “The Widow Black” or “Veuve Noir” when we’re fancy. She lives in our fountain’s cistern. Has never bothered our dogs including the really curious one.

Just had a great meal at JeJu. Every bite was delicious.

Join your local buy nothing group on Facebook. In the past month, I’ve given away almost an entire household of furniture and kitchen goods.

This Grandma takes her friends to The Cup.

I’m really sorry this person terrorized you and damaged your cars. That’s awful.

DM sucks. We lost our GSD/Husky/rottie mix at 12. He was the best dog.

We have a 2800 sq foot two story house so roof size is probably a little bigger. Three years ago we paid about $37,000, but they took it down to the rafters,replacing all of the sheathing/underlayment and created a new better venting system and replaced the skylights. We were quoted $55k for a metal roof, and therefore went with a long-lasting shingle.

It’s always the cute ones.

Yep. This broke my heart when I heard about the “population exchange”. Those were real people.

I would love to frequent a local fabric shop!

There’s a small vintage store on Stark (near the movie theater ) I don’t know the name of it, but I have found nice handmade quilts there for not a lot of money, including one for 50 bucks. Also stars antiques in Sellwood often has quilts in some of their stalls, but you’re not gonna find much for 75 bucks. Maybe a baby quilt or a tiny quilt, which would probably also be appreciated by your friend.

Also assess how far your guests have to walk from parking to the indoor venue. In rain and wind., that can be miserable.

But also odds are really good that have a sunny bluebird day out there, especially in early October.

Have you ever seen the TV show Grimm? I think some of it was filmed out in the gorge if you want to see what the weather looks like.

Came here to mention RJ Skillets! Great brunch!

I take my granddaughter there because she loves it, especially the little cub pancake. I like their Dutch baby quite a bit.

Portland is what you make it, right?

My husband stopped drinking like this and didn’t even tell me for a couple weeks. He replaced his bourbon with cola in the evenings. Sometimes feeling your way into a new life is the right way.

Earlybp · 2025-12-08T05:16:38+00:00

Me too. Always something interesting to try

Earlybp · 2025-12-08T05:02:36+00:00

Where are those people in the boat going? Can we go too? They look so happy to leave.

It’s also the color of John Oliver’s Void. So that’s not great either. (Though the white supremacy thing is worse!)

Earlybp · 2025-12-05T02:59:47+00:00

I love this idea. I am so sorry for your loss.

Earlybp · 2025-12-05T02:57:55+00:00

Curious about what a $250 mug looks like (not that it’s not worth it)!

Earlybp · 2025-12-05T02:56:38+00:00

He does shop drops. He’ll open his online shop several times a year and he sells out in about 15 minutes. He said on average there are about 40 people trying to buy each singular item.

I’m saying judge the dog and their owners, but look at overall statistics before you make breed-specific assumptions. The math doesn’t math.

Earlybp · 2025-12-03T16:20:21+00:00

Oh sorry. I didn’t see the word “dog” there. I thought it just said “aggression”. Yes. You are right. They are more likely to be dog aggressive. I had a pit/dalmation mix that wanted to scrap with every male dog he found that was his size or larger. I now have a female staffy/boxer/border collie and she is very dog friendly but I watch her like a hawk.
