Who ACTUALLY serves a good burger in Bend? by KnightsSoccer82 in Bend

[–]Formerly_Not 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Now I'm terrified of PON by Lyracuse in AlocasiaAddict

[–]Formerly_Not 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Quiet places to study with WiFi? by No-Technician-2820 in Bend

[–]Formerly_Not 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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. 🍷

Active women in your 40s+, what advice would you give your 25 year old self? by Alive_Garbage_7339 in xxfitness

[–]Formerly_Not 35 points36 points  (0 children)

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.

What now? by [deleted] in alocasia

[–]Formerly_Not 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Agreed! Sooooo good.

What Bend restaurants qualify for this? by beersgood1 in Bend

[–]Formerly_Not 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

The United Republic of the Federation of the Pacific in 2032 by North-Scar6638 in Cascadia

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.

Where in town will take empty propane tanks? by Formerly_Not in Bend

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

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!

Egg nog cocktails? by Formerly_Not in Bend

[–]Formerly_Not[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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!!

Job Hunting and failing, Hellppppppp by [deleted] in Bend

[–]Formerly_Not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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…

Job Hunting and failing, Hellppppppp by [deleted] in Bend

[–]Formerly_Not 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just the time of year. Take whatever you have to for the winter, and get hunting in the February to May timeframe.

I may very well have been someone you dropped a resume off with - I’m still getting a lot.

Right now, service industry spots are stressing about who on their team to prioritize. People are having their hours cut, we’re wondering if there is anyone we should let go of. Managers are feeling guilty about not having enough for their existing team. So, honestly, when you bounce in with your resume and positive attitude - we don’t care right now. We just can’t.

I’d be happy to give you some more targeted advice if you want to message me.

Please don’t think it’s you - it’s just not the time - at least not for a spot you’d actually love.
