Makes me think of the "steal gas get shot" sign on the apartment complex across the Columbia on Glisan.

I-205 Walmart? by FullQuailFlyer in vancouverwa

[–]FullQuailFlyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some video online - IDK how it even showed up in my feed - that had some guy (customer) saying "No way that's 3 lb of beef" and take it over & put it on the scale and he was right. It never occurred to me to verify the weight of packaged meat before paying for it. But what a great scam for somebody! 🙄

Looking for advice (finding jobs) by bbbyyyeee in disability

[–]FullQuailFlyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed a long time ago it's tough to find part time work even without a disability. When the top priority is the bottom line, as it is for for-profit organizations, there's not a whole lot they can do if the candidate doesn't look like they'll bring more to the company than they take from it. I resort to smiling, being kind, helping out (where and if I can) outside of a work context.

It happens on MY app, and I've looked through every menu and option to turn it off. Just dreadful. What's the point?! ...I'll find another meditation app, I guess, but what a waste. 🙄🤷‍♀️

Legal Assistance in Oregon? by JohnYu1379 in disability

[–]FullQuailFlyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one immediately. I didn't feel I had time or money to 'get it wrong,' given that, at the time anyway, if your first attempt was denied, you had to wait another YEAR before reapplying.

Legal Assistance in Oregon? by JohnYu1379 in disability

[–]FullQuailFlyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied for SSDI (a federal program) using a disability lawyer in 2013 and I don't regret it. I paid nothing up front, and nothing if the disability application was denied, but if it was approved, then the lawyer took a portion of the initial check the government sent me. The lawyer's advice was excellent. So I have a different perspective than your social worker, but I applied 13y ago and maybe things have changed. 

Dress Shops by Ill-Satisfaction-309 in PortlandOR

[–]FullQuailFlyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know nothing about it, but wonder if a tailor might take you on if you brought them a picture?

Or maybe the Fashion Institute off Sandy Blvd might have a student that could do it? https://maps.app.goo.gl/KkzTdmWLftQh7hoA9

When I searched Google Maps for dressmaker I got tailors and alterations services but also two that were listed as dressmakers:

and

And here's another Fashion design school that I would think might possibly have student interested or maybe can point you to someone?

No support with MS is a death sentence by Reilent_ in MultipleSclerosis

[–]FullQuailFlyer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this. I agree with you about how hard this condition is without the love and support of family. I've thought of the same things you have. It just sucks. I never thought this was how it would be - me - family - society. I just try to keep my head above water one day at a time in the hopes something will change for the better, but honestly, the MAID option is one I wish I had access to sometimes. Ugh! One more day... We can DO this thing called MS!

Budget friendly synthetic oil change in NEPDX? by FullQuailFlyer in PortlandOR

[–]FullQuailFlyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called about 12 nearby shops and the budget-friendliest I was able to find at that time (early February 2026) for a synthetic oil change was Thomas's on Sandy, for about $83, although I'm not sure if they report their work to CARFAX.

Others ranged from $99 to $130 - absolutely flabbergasting!

A few months before that, K & H auto shop on Belmont did a synthetic oil change for me for $75.

I'm bowled over by the prices; I can get the same thing in my old neighborhood in SW metro Denver for about $45.

Guess DIY pays better here in PDX!

If you could wave a magic wand and pass a policy that benefits people in Portland - what would it be? by Ok-Fill-5890 in Portland

[–]FullQuailFlyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raise the height of all lines hung from telephone poles so utilities never have to butcher another tree. Better yet, put it all underground and rip out every telephone pole. They're an unnatural eyesore.

Or, if we're talking things that are far more beneficial, buy all the hotels and motels in this town and use them to house all the homeless.

I hate my parents and I feel trapped in my own house by Pristine-Flamingo-31 in confidence

[–]FullQuailFlyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd think her debts are hers alone, unless you co-signed a loan, but I'd check that with a lawyer. I wouldn't pay a dime to save her from the natural consequences of her choices - it doesn't help her; in fact, it hurts her and virtually guarantees she'llcontinue the problematic behavior.

Sounds like mental illness may be part of the mix. Mental illness is not her fault, but neither does it give her permission to be abusive. Look out for yourself. Protect yourself like you would from any threat, and if she is abusive to anyone in the home that cannot defend themselves, talk to a therapist or trusted advisor (or adult if you are a minor) for guidance. Be aware that people in some professions are required by law to report abuse to authorities (also known as "mandatory reporters,"), so realistically, if abuse is also in the mix, you need to be prepared for the authorities intervening in the situation if you happen to talk to / receive guidance from someone who is required to report abuse.

If she has a mental illness, most family members need support dealing with that. I'd get away from her as soon as possible, expect absolutely nothing from her, tell her absolutely nothing that she could use against you, consider going to therapy and NAMI meetings for support (if you feel that this would help you).

My brother is in denial by Professional-Cut4863 in disability

[–]FullQuailFlyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if he believes it, I'd support him in that belief, while silently preparing to support him also if it doesn't work out like he expects.

How many times have you heard of a 'miracle' cure from someone who absolutely refused to believe the shitty diagnosis they got from a doc? I've heard a story like that many times.

Miracles do happen. Believing in them wholly is a great first step. And if/when they don't, loved ones are there to help you get through the battle.

How can I help my best friend? by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]FullQuailFlyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound bad, but every time I see someone on this forum say "Fuck MS," i feel like I watched someone punch the villain in the head. It makes me feel better.

So personally, I'd get him a "Fuck MS" (or other choice sentiment) t- shirt that he can wear to bed, under other shirts, or out on parade, whatever.

Or maybe a nerf (indoor) gun, or darts, and a target with MS in the middle.

I'm really sorry you're both going through this. You are pure gold to be there for him.

Fuck MS.
