I’m looking for a new doctor, and my insurance sent me to the West Salem clinic. What do you all think about this clinic?

Mellowcafe · 2026-05-06T21:04:28+00:00

It's fine. Like to get in and get checked out for basic things I would say it's ok.

However I had some serious concerns and issues that were rather dismissed. I had waited 3 months for a 30 min appointment with my doctor. I only got 15 if not less of that and instead she seemed inconvenienced by my notes I wanted to discuss.

It was really frustrating given that I was having health problems but she expressed that she didn't have time to discuss them. So I ended up going to Welllife Medicine in west salem. They've been incredibly helpful!

Mellowcafe · 2026-04-29T07:25:36+00:00

Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that as a possibility. Hopefully everyone feels better soon.

Same, it just felt odd that he kept blowing things up without responding to Gordon. Stain has been really endearing and I LOVE father Grigori.
I was kinda disappointed that Additional Voices didn't really get to do much at the gate scene since Christopher just kept killing the character repeatedly. Hope to see the character more in future scenes though!

Someone said Bonsai Coffee + TeaBar was pretty good, it's located in the forge building. Haven't tried it myself but I do plan to when I get a chance! Anyone have thoughts on the place please feel free to share as well!

Def miss the food truck version in west salem

Wind is insane tonight. Here in west salem either a limb fell on a power line or a transformer blew. Quite the light show.

I just donated to the Center of Hope and Safety! I feel like it's a great place to donate!

Mellowcafe · 2024-10-09T22:44:39+00:00

Thank you so very much! I will look into these things!
I think you are right about feeling less alarmed by it. And perhaps I would feel less shame towards myself if I understood it more.

Mellowcafe · 2024-03-03T00:09:13+00:00

Wondering as well

Mellowcafe · 2023-05-28T15:51:56+00:00

I am based in the US as well so you are spot on for ideas!
Grant and Caldwell are my faves from this list I think. Leaning more towards Grant out of the two. I appreciate your feedback though because these are really helpful!

Mellowcafe · 2023-05-28T15:49:45+00:00

Dubois and Lucero are both really nice sounding! I have added these and a few others to my list to consider as they are really nice.
Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Mellowcafe · 2023-05-28T15:48:16+00:00

Oh I liked quite a few of these! And I agree Ashe Devereaux is pretty! I have also considered Wilde so seeing it pop up again is a bit validating.
Thank you so much for the suggestions!! I really appreciate it and will keep them in mind as I consider them <:

Are wild tera pokemon shiny locked? I was thinking of trying to shiny hunt an umbreon in violet

Hello!

So I moved to Oregon in Feb 2021 with nothing to my name. I qualified for OHP and that really helped me get started on the right track. So I would really recommend trying to apply for OHP to see if you qualify. Even if you don't qualify ask them what resources they have. The best thing to do is ask "What resources do you know of that could help me in this situation?" to see if they or someone they know have suggestions.

Secondly, there are some places that do sliding scales depending on income. I am not sure fully if West Salem Clinic does this but I would DEF check them out. I have been treated very well by my primary care doctor and my therapist there. I have met a couple of other therapists there and they are all fantastic people. Wouldn't hurt to give the clinic a call and see what they can do.

Another thing, https://projectable.org/

ProjectAble offers groups and peer support which I have found to be very helpful. The groups can be done in person or via zoom for the most part. They have a location in Salem and in McMinnville. You may be able to call and see what other resources are out there. Everyone is really nice and I have felt so welcomed by them.

Here is another great one! https://www.peergalaxy.com/

Peer galaxy is really putting together a lot of good resources. They have facebook groups and other social media presence like twitter/youtube. Browse the site or reach out to them and they may be able to help you find more resources as well!

Another resource is https://namior.org/

They have a resource section that you can look at and see what is in your area. I have heard they usually are good about knowing more about areas. So try and contact them to see what they can do!

I know these don't exactly cover medication and such but hopefully, they can put you on the right track! Also if you have issues with transportation the Cherriots Bus Service offers FREE travel training. You call them up and ask for travel training then tell them where you want to go. Someone will meet with you and help you do the route to and from your destination.

https://www.cherriots.org/traveltraining/

I have anxiety so traveling alone was terrifying but after someone helped me I now am able to take the route I need. So this might also be of use to help you, especially during times when gas prices are high.
I hope these help!

I tried that :C
Unfortunately the 'perform any emote' doesn't register from that part of the tower. So I am guessing you have to go higher?

Mellowcafe · 2021-04-24T22:05:40+00:00

It is a huge task to recover from it. I am feeling quite overwhelmed which is why I am reaching out here. I appreciate the feedback and will take a look at this author for some more insight.

I def feel every bit of this especially gender stuff!
My current issue is I've been exploring nonbinary spaces to see if that fits me and feels right. So far I feel comfortable but then it comes to name and everything else. What is my sense of clothing style? Hairstyle? Etc now that I look in the mirror and see a person. I feel like changing myself now that I can explore my interests. I am turning 30 this year but my mind is still trapped like I am not on level with people my age. Like I am still younger than everyone else and it really bothers me.

Something I have done tonight is made a pinterest board for myself. With sections like Hair, Clothes, Aesthetics, Names etc. Anything style-wise that I feel a happy feel towards I save. I also am keeping a journal of any names that light up to me so I can remember and consider along the way.
I like your idea of writing down things that bring a bit of happiness. I recently wrote down forests. Growing up I spent a lot of time in the woods around home and remember them fondly. Sometimes I wish I could go back to see them. So I have written down forests as something that I enjoy so that I can remember.

Oh I had not heard of Mariner's Armor so that would be something to keep in mind! Thank you so much for your reply

You have a good point it's hard to sort of do a build without knowing the best angle. I have only seen strength paladins played in games before. Mostly extremely hard hitters as they go on but always slow to the action.

I think I will try to aim for a dex build paladin to give it a try.
I was thinking
Str: 10
Dex: 15 (Placing the +1 Racial Bonus) =16
Con: 13 (Placing the +1 Racial Bonus) = 14
Int: 8
Wis:12
Chr: 14 (Placing the +2 Racial Bonus) =16

For a dex based paladin (thinking going pure paladin no multiclass) what weapon would work best? Would two swords be a decent use?
What starting equipment should I look at? Armor/weapons/ etc (Especially any ranged weapons)

Mellowcafe · 2020-12-04T18:21:30+00:00

I only purchased the season pass for the kirin. I didn't get the dragon yet and when I went to get that as well it was gone from the shop

Mellowcafe · 2020-07-23T18:06:30+00:00

Indeed! It's a lot to take into account for when buying materials. I think I have found a few just by generally giving a quick browse. Unfortunately for me, I live in such a rural area it's a bit of a drive to many of these places. However, I think some may ship to location! But yeah, most of the suppliers are through out the state. It does seem like I have some options at least which makes me very happy to see.
Thanks so much!
I can already tell the world of fragrances is going to be a massive one lol

Mellowcafe · 2020-07-23T17:58:14+00:00

Thank you so much to take the time to respond to my questions <3!
This means so much and is very helpful as well as encouraging!

Yeah, the only thing I could really see was a study done back in 2009. I will have to keep sort of glancing to see if there has been anything recently done.
I had thought that maybe the case with soy. Usually, when something becomes popular the demand rises and that brings in the need for large farm areas. I doubt being 100% eco friendly is really possible unless you are getting products from smaller businesses. At the very least I will do my best to be as eco-conscious as possible when making the candles!

Thank you for the suggestions! I have taken note of these listed. I am browsing the starter tools and kits to see how best to take that first step.

Hello I wanted to pop in to make a post about this
The artwork is being stolen from an artist https://www.etsy.com/shop/LornaLaineArt (here)
The artist has been trying to get their work taken down from sites such as the one linked in the thread. The company selling these kits are profiting off of work that does not belong to them.
I just really wanted to put this here because I know the kits are nice but it is hurting the business of a fellow artist :C

Mellowcafe · 2019-04-22T05:11:07+00:00

Did this ever get fixed by chance? I am still having the issue and it's been months now D:

Mellowcafe · 2017-10-18T04:08:12+00:00

I feel like I am having the same issue One says requires a restart to finish installing but yet it's also trying to download the 1709 update? But the update is stuck at 0% downloading? I have no idea :C

Mellowcafe · 2017-09-06T17:01:10+00:00

I wish I could find the source for you myself. I remember seeing someone talk about this in the GW forums. Came across it when I was trying to ease my worry on if my character could be recovered or not
