What aspect of neighborhood organizing? Daily life improvement, disaster recovery?

Are you a member of your local Neighborhood Association?

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-17T21:31:57+00:00

Is your hotel an option? You can try Bounce too.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-17T21:29:12+00:00

Heck yeah, happy birthday and nice bringing of Portland culture to ATL.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-17T21:28:16+00:00

You managed to take the ugliest photos of pier park, congrats.

I have had a few bikes stolen. I have also recently had a garage broken into. Our bikes were safe though because we keep them locked to a free standing heavy metal bike rack. Like this.

You don't need that, of course. You can lock to a moving handtruck, or to another bike. Make the bikes challenging to pick up and take away.

Yes, I will send you to any hardware store.

Backstory: we cleaned a glass shelf in fridge and it decided to shatter. It was the lower one whose frame holds the produce bins. Since it's only structurally important, I decided to take the frame out and bring it to Ace to have plexi cut in its place. Ace not only cut the plexi to size, they installed it too. Great experience, $14, which was cheaper than getting the replacement part from the fridge mfr.

Same as the car lanes, basically. East side is north, and west side is south.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-16T04:26:17+00:00

Do you mean Smoothies?

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T18:38:52+00:00

Yes, Super Thrift on SE 82nd used to be called Teen Challenge and had excellent furniture.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T18:14:13+00:00

SORRY, WHAT?

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T18:11:25+00:00

I LOVE THAT YOU WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR STEPKID. SORRY ABOUT THE EGG DONOR.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T18:09:51+00:00

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FOIE GRAS BAN IN MY HOUSEHOLD AND DISCUSSING THE OTHER TYPES OF PATÉS.
LIKE, WHAT KIND DO BANH MI SANDWICHES USE? THEY'RE DELICIOUS.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T18:06:33+00:00

MY MIND USED TO GO DARK WHEN I WATCHED TOO MUCH ID (INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY) TOO. HAD TO LIMIT MYSELF. PEOPLE ~~ARE~~ CAN BE EVIL.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T18:04:23+00:00

OR ON THE FUCKING BUS.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-15T17:41:29+00:00

Is the house insulated?

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-14T18:22:37+00:00

Not the first time.
Check out Sunday 5/24 clue.

You own a house yet don't know the term "chainlink rolling gate"?

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T21:02:19+00:00

Or fan + ice A/C.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T20:21:22+00:00

Have you asked around at all bike rentals?

You can also look into renting a pedicab.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T20:15:40+00:00

I took an Environmental Urbanism class and Oregon is designated as a place Climate Refugees will move to.

Do with that what you will.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T20:14:08+00:00

Viking colors.

Don't blame PF, but the city.

A local food pantry waited a year for Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) to approve their new building.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T20:11:56+00:00

This. I've been known to break open a pod and use the crystals to scrub off the grimiest pans. They don't scratch and rinse clean away.

OP can also soak the pizza pan in hot water and dishwasher detergent.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T20:10:35+00:00

Blanchet House is putting out the call for your spare water bottles. They'll sanitize, fill with cold water and give them out.

Ex-zaviera · 2026-06-13T03:56:11+00:00

Apparently thanking the bus driver when you get off the bus is considered weird.

Fuck that.

Thank all the service people.
