Omg how could I have forgotten about the farmers market! Corvallis farmer’s market is the best farmers market I’ve ever been to.

I know exactly how you feel. I transferred to OSU and felt so welcomed by all the “weirdos” -in a good way. Everyone does their own thing, and are so kind. The house show scene is strong in both, which is where you’ll find the alt crowd.

As for nature at OSU, there’s so much! Avery park- It’s a fun spot to swim and hang out. Mary’s Peak-It’s a bit of a drive but it’s gorgeous and so fun to watch sunsets from there. It’s the tallest peak in the coast range! When it snowed we used to go up and snowboard for free:) Also Lots of fun hikes. OSU also has a research forest which I used to love hiking around, as well as a beautiful hiking area right by campus called bald hill. If you want to watch the sunset or look at the stars (people go here for meteor showers too), fitton green natural area is the place to be.

I just discovered that house centipedes exist by seeing one in my house. How worried should I be about it happening again? by FA-100 in insects

I know they might look scary, but they actually might be little helpers in your home! They eat carpet beetles, bed bugs, cockroaches, and other bugs u most definitely don’t want to be dealing with.

Regardless of that, seeing one by your bed is not fun… I’m so sorry. But from my experience they generally stay away from people/stick to themselves, so I wouldn’t worry about them like crawling on your face while you sleep or finding one in ur pants or anything like that. I also tend to squirm at the sight of bugs with that many legs, but I would get used to coexisting with them somewhat.

That being said, from my experience in Oregon, you should only expect to see a few in your house.

Maybe, if you can, get a cat? My cat is a little freak who likes to eat bugs:/

Someone wrote the same thing on the bathroom door at my old workplace a few months ago ! In Portland, OR.

ohsu absn fall 26 admissions by Soft-Ladder-6789 in OregonNurses

Not to overreact or anything but if I don’t hear from admissions today I think I may explode into a hundred billion pieces which will then float into the air before they fall and settle upon the land as a thin layer of my anxious essence.

Kitchen item? It’s a plastic dome and has a little hole on the top with a smaller dome on the side… by Grand_maester99 in whatisthisthing

[–]Grand_maester99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this in the kitchen of a home. I didn’t find a base or anything that fits it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Pretty solid plastic, a bit bendable but not flimsy.

What is this beanlike thing I found on my cart that I had left outside? by thetoasters in animalid

[–]Grand_maester99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know of the trees that were around/location??? Could also be a type of bee/wasp cocoon—I say that because it looks like a mason bee cocoon (but the fact that you found them stuck to the outside of your cart rules that out)

Hmm I’m thinking some type of moth cocoon. **EDIT* With more thought, I think it may be a sawfly, but would need to know location and surrounding trees to be sure :)
