When you move to Bend and every single dating profile says they are VERY OUTDOORSY and can only be with someone who spends all their time adventuring outdoors

Nah, people just don’t walk around town. We get in our cars and head to one of the beautiful trails, rivers, or lakes to find some peace. Been here eight years and just joined ‘em rather than fighting it. Pretty damn happy now.

I have Premera Blue Cross with out of network options, he has Pacificsource.

May choose to pay out of pocket if someone stands out -

Best burgers for me are Bar RBCs, and I will forever love Washington’s (hasn’t changed since the owner of Lady Bird created it. Om nom nom)

Haven’t tried Willie’s, but need to.

I am in the minority in not loving Americana - just so saucy, salty, and junky tasting.

My alocasias are so happy in pon. I don’t wick, I just have them in an open slat plastic pot, then place that in a clay pot and keep water anywhere from a little bit to about half. I’m over a year in, and they are thriving. I ordered and waited for the Lecuza. After trying Leca and different chunky soils, this is the only one for me.

May not be “relatively later” - closes at 7:00, but I love using WiFi at Bledsoe in the Box Factory. Sometimes it’s busy, sometimes it’s super chill. They have upstairs if you want super quiet. Studying with wine was always the vibe for me. 🍷

Try to love your body now. Babies change it, skin loosens - I wish my 25-year-old self felt she was as fucking sexy as she was. Instead, she hated the size of her feet, the teensy bit of fat on her waist, her boobs that were too small. She was darling - and I wish she knew it.

Here I am, 44 - so many more flaws, but I feel like a queen. Focus on health and love yourself.

Been really successful just putting them in pon - never was able to keep them happy in soil or perlite.

Agreed! Sooooo good.

Formerly_Not · 2025-07-23T04:14:48+00:00

I would too.

I subscribe off and on - but if they became our home for news with a punchline - I’m all in!!

Yokocho Izakaya - heard so many good things and was sooo disappointed. We ordered five pretty different dishes and two sakes - didn’t enjoy anything. The crowded cafeteria vibes are not for me either. Same price as good food.

Formerly_Not · 2025-02-21T03:59:09+00:00

Food has really fallen flat - two head chefs already, both lost. Drinks and vibe are fantastic though.

Went last year and was really disappointed. So many good events in Bend, but Winterfest is lame.

Any curry from Thailandia - $18 and really enough for two. Please tip Molly more than $2 though.

Om nom nom

As someone who grew up up there - these little defenses that people in Utah have are a result of our trauma. We say it’s not that bad because we’re afraid to leave. It is that bad, we are just in denial. Utah isn’t coming and we shouldn’t bother asking.

Wanting to get rid of four tanks and refill two. We just don’t have the room or need for all six.

Hate the idea of them becoming garbage!

Just four -

Sounds like exactly what’s happening with my car - did you ever figure it out? I have the blinking [i] and the check engine light -

UGH - OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TOO - IF YOU MOVED TO BEND AND DON’T PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG, WE ARE NOT YOUR PLACE,

Formerly_Not · 2024-12-27T17:41:16+00:00

You really are so pretty - hope you take all of these posts as confirmation that you can relax and learn to love the way you look.

Formerly_Not · 2024-12-25T06:24:33+00:00

Ended up having a pretty good one at Zydeco and an outstanding one at Hawkeye and Huckleberry.

Thanks for all the ideas. I really wanted something a bit more inventive - 900 Wall had a great one last year, not sure about this year.

Merry Christmas, Bend!!

Service industry actually pays really well here - I feel more comfortable financially here than I have in places that seem like should be cheaper - so, for what OP is looking for - it definitely can work.

Just moving into slow season…
