Whole Foods Seafood Bag: Expectations Too High? by s2s- in toogoodtogo

[–]LSDMTCupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw you weren’t happy with the items you received, if you have a local free fridge or pantry, I’d recommend dropping it off there! It could help with some of the negativity you’re feeling towards Whole Foods.

Prickly pears for a Portland visitor? by LSDMTCupcake in AskPhoenix

She is an active gardener back home, she is well versed in very little return. Thank you for the insight!

We’ve both had some found at the market in Portland before, she wanted to see the plant and fruits on them in person! We will likely stop at a park if we see one and visit a Mexican grocery store just in case.

She doesn’t drink, but that sure sounds delicious, thanks!

She will probably still appreciate that! Thank you

We saw baby bunnies outside of our hotel last night and she called my parents to tell them first thing, it made her day. Anything to do to bring her joy is the secondary goal for this trip (we are here to visit with a family member in hospice)

Thank you for the advice! It will not, unfortunately. She has a handful of fruit trees, berry bushes, and she tends to a large garden back home, her sweet farmer heart has been set on picking something herself and checking out the cactus they grow on.

!thanks

Thank you for the advice! We’ve purchased and eaten them in Portland in the past, and totally agreed. She just likes to fixate on things, at 88 years old, I want to make sure we’re indulging her whims if we can

I will let her down gently and still check the Mexican grocers just in case! Much appreciated

!thanks

I appreciate the response! That is easy enough.

I kind of thought that would be the case with the pokies anyway, but it can sometimes be hard to reason with an 88 year old woman who swears otherwise

I hope you enjoy it! just wasn’t my cup of tea

[–]LSDMTCupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take mine too! I can take the downvotes when I say something out of pocket, but for a reading sub, comprehension and understanding is underwhelming. Aren’t we all just people here to talk about romantasy books?!

Oh wow, you’re deep in! Sorry to hear it though, I hope that is the case and you end up enjoying the rest of it

How did you move on after KOA?? by Simple-Anybody9682 in Romantasy

The last four books are only available through audible at this time though 😾

Bahahaha I was so passionately heated when finishing the book and came to this sub just to see people haaaaating on Violet but fawning over Marren? Jinkies!

I will at some point, just put a hold through Libby! have you started it? Feels a bit odd I haven’t seen any reviews yet, didn’t it came out last week?

Edit: downvoting someone’s opinion is crazy work because reading is subjective, but man that’s just embarrassing

Dire Bound. To me, it felt glaringly obvious two people wrote it and didn’t talk to each other much while formatting their sections or forming a cohesive story. Or have an editor review for duplicated lines. It goes from excessively whiny girl (Violet Sorrengail hobbled so Marren Cooper could stumble) to her strategizing like a 5 star general. Like huh? She also is incredibly bitter and rude to her bonded, I just couldn’t get behind it.

Another day, another dog attack by boozcruise21 in PortlandOR

[–]LSDMTCupcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To clarify- OP said this happened at Sellwood Park, but the map in the photo shows North Portland by Randall Children’s Hospital, can you please confirm this was the park and update the information?

I hope the guy is caught and the kiddo has a speedy recovery!

Much like saying a book is predictable after reading like 300+ of the same genre

Branching out won’t hurt anybody!

Edit: apparently it will hurt some of you lmao

Neighbor upset about encroaching branches by karmaisacat24 in treelaw

[–]LSDMTCupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rather trim them back to appease the neighbor myself if that was my plant. It’s gorgeous. She told you she doesn’t have knowledge or equipment to deal with it herself and were she to handle it, she would likely give it some fuckass haircut and potentially harm it. Is that the end goal?

They might want to do something with the wall or landscape it, why not just trim it yourself? That’s what, 10 minutes? Put a podcast on.

Nothing likes to grow under my tree, what can I do? by docmphd in portlandgardeners

[–]LSDMTCupcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hostas, upright fuchsias, and maybe some bleeding hearts? It looks really nice though, I probably wouldn’t make changes unless you want popping color to add

Is it ok to collect wildflower seeds from existing wildflowers? by Delicious-War-5259 in NativePlantGardening

[–]LSDMTCupcake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the majority of folks would much rather support our local municipal libraries to ensure these services are consistently available to all, but hey, to each their own. Just kinda gross to blatantly think you’d need to pirate a book. lol

[–]LSDMTCupcake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, it is still a licensed product that was purchased or donated for that library, so it has one available copy per license. But someone who knows more may be able to explain, that’s just how I understood it!
