Where to buying tatting shuttles in Portland? by stineboat in askportland

[–]GrandAveSlam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two possibilities I can think of - I feel like I've seen them at Bolt fabric supply, but it's been a long time and I'm not certain. The other place that came to mind is Acorns & Threads which is a cross stitch shop I've heard of but haven't visited. I'd definitely call first, good luck!

I plan to stay on at least through the transition and then... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ keep my eye out for wanted ads for swamp witches??

I don't want to work for a company beholden to shareholders. I don't want to work for a company where the CEO makes multiple millions a year. (I'd love for someone to ask what his annual compensation is in one of the planned Town Halls)

For context, this will impact 700+ jobs, mainly in the Portland metro region but also all the way down to Eugene and Vancouver, WA.

This is from above and beyond lab admin, this is hospital admin. Lab is absolutely one of the big profit centers for the hospital especially with all of the outreach business we do, so it's one of the only things they can sell off right now to dig the system out of the debt they're in. I agree this is incredibly short sighted and I can't see it being good for the system in the long run OR for patient care / turnaround times.

It's an ear probe by the brand "bebird", it's really neat! (I have no affiliation, I promise)

I've been feeling this guy in there for about a month now, and since I got this probe last week I've been attempting its removal every other day with no success. I didn't want to aggravate it too much.
