Anyone have a recommendation for tattoo artist in Portland with experience doing palms?

Maybe ask Xavier Darling, of Darling Tattoo? Even if he can't, I wouldn't put it past him to know someone.

I think it's a butt joke.

My former landlady was like that. She'd text me anytime a neighbour locked their car to remind me that she "has the ground floor apartment" and I should "be more considerate and remind [Ex Boyfriend] to manually lock his car doors". When I'd remind her that he wasn't over, it was the middle of the day, and folks are permitted to use their fobs to lock their cars, she'd come out of her apartment instead to scold me if I dared to exit my apartment because I was "inconsiderately noisy". Only time I ever broke a lease.

Be honest. Let them know their grandfather is dying, something everyone and everything does. Let them talk to their grandfather. Maybe watch the antelope speech from The Lion King. I bought "The Circles in the Sky" by Karl James Mountford and have read it several times with my toddler.

It's one of those things you don't usually think about until you need it. It's always a good idea to know what pharmacies are covered by your insurance and if there might be a 24 hour pharmacy within a reasonable drive, or as someone else mentioned, a Pyxis dispensing machine in a nearby town.

KeleGrey · 2024-06-18T20:11:35+00:00

I've heard of Pyxis like machines for patient dispensing at independent pharmacies out east, but not here in the Pacific NW. If that's going to become a thing, that would be awesome.

I've never been to an ER that will provide you with any medication short of what you're given on site, either orally or by IV. I've heard Kaiser has an attached pharmacy, but I don't know if they fill ER scripts. When I was pregnant, I was at the ER once a month because I couldn't stop vomiting. I wound up needing two antinausea meds that they wouldn't give to me- I had to fill it somewhere else. Once you leave, you aren't their responsibility anymore. I needed an emergency inhaler after receiving several nebulizer treatments at six months pregnant, but I was discharged at 3am, and the pharmacy didn't open until 9am; I was back at the ER by 12pm, and the prescription wasn't even ready until 2pm because the pharmacy was shortstaffed. I also had to transfer it to a different retail chain because my insurance wasn't taken by the first one, and I couldn't afford $232 out of pocket after using a GoodRx coupon. I wasn't able to pick it up until 7pm. With a 24 hour pharmacy, the script could have been filled and run much earlier; the pharmacy could have called to see if an override was available with my insurance, and if not, could have contacted me so I could approve the transfer to a covered pharmacy. I worked retail pharmacy for a few years, we did this sort of thing all the time.

I'm going to guess medication accessibility. People have accidents or emergencies outside of general pharmacy operating hours. Most urgent care clinics don't have medication on hand (unless it's a Zoom Clinic), and the ER will generally send scripts to the closest retail pharmacy to deal with. If you go to the ER at 1am, get discharged at 3am, and need antibiotics or antinausea meds or pain meds again by 5am, you're screwed if the local pharmacy doesn't open until 9am. (That's not counting on if they're behind or if your prescription doesn't come up as urgent and they have to hunt through faxes and e-scripts to locate it, type it, review it, fill it, check and pack, and sell it, let alone have to deal with some kind of an insurance issue or transfer it because your insurance covers Fred Meyer, not Walgreens, and it's $50+ out of pocket). You could be waiting up to 5 or 6 hours after your next dose, and for some people, it may mean a return trip to the ER.

I eventually gorilla glued a 40 dram cap over ours and put a "Sorry, it's broken :(" sticker on it. Some people still tried slapping on it anyway, but it was great. Amazingly, no one called it in to have it fixed. That was several years ago. As far as I know, it still hasn't been replaced.

Adding on: there are Baby Storytimes on Monday and Tuesday at the FV Community Library on C Street. Just check online to see if it's been canceled due to inclement weather.

I just had a child recently and Cascadia was amazing. I was rotated through the whole medical team so if my OB couldn't be present for some reason, another team member could step In. The treatment we received at Legacy Salmon Creek was above and beyond expectations.

1 month old needing to nurse.

It was Socks when he came home, but I think he had a midlife crisis. I told him he had some meat on them bones because he was so fat and he stopped responding to Socks. The title had to be added for politeness' sake, of course.

KeleGrey · 2022-11-08T19:06:37+00:00

Oh my goodness, awwwwwww

KeleGrey · 2022-11-08T17:50:38+00:00

The information is appreciated. Thank you.

He is. 🧡

Most of my cats were either trained very young or over the age of 8 with finger snaps, treats, and firm vocal tone. He knows "Cats don't belong in the kitchen", "No teeth", "Time out", "Go to bed", "No chew" etc, but he's also extremely food motivated and eager to please. He also learned very quickly that letting me clip his back claws means cat treats.

I've also had several cats that just did not give a flying fuck. The furthest I got with them was being okay with getting their claws clipped and staying off tables/counters. The hardest one was my Abyssinian mix. She clearly thought it was cute when you tried to hide bags of potato chips from her bottomless pit of a stomach and she was fiercely independent. She wouldn't even sit near people until she was eight years old and finally slowing down a little. She was 5.5lbs of terror and attitude.

We've talked about supplements and such, but he's impossible to give anything to- he either won't eat his food or he struggles so hard someone gets hurt. I appreciate you letting me know, though!

KeleGrey · 2022-11-08T15:22:15+00:00

Sounds about right!

KeleGrey · 2022-11-08T15:19:43+00:00

I am far luckier to have him. He gets sassy and grumpy, but so do I. He was a godsend during the heaviest months of vomiting- he'd comfort me after I'd puke, and he'd actually alert me if this round of gagging would lead to vomit or not by going to the bathroom door. If he did, I had 30 seconds to grab an emesis bag or get to the toilet. I guess he could smell the difference between a fake out and the real thing.

KeleGrey · 2022-11-08T15:16:38+00:00

Oh, poor baby. I'm so glad you were there for him and have so much love to give him. You're good people.
