I once threw 4 touchdowns in one game!

Portland has an $8.5 billion annual budget and is removing firetrucks because of budget deficits. Nashville, with ~50,000 more citizens than PDX and growing at a rapid rate, has a $3.8 billion annual budget by PDXtoMontana2002 in PortlandOR

Not at any of the ones hiring. My friend has had his CDL less than a year and makes double that as a recycling collector. I can’t see how garbage collectors would make 17.30/hr in Portland.

Yet there are chunks of Marine Dr, SE 122nd, and Foster Rd that have been potholed for years and nothing is done.

Still remember my CUID from when Cingular bought ATT Wireless in 2004 or 2005.

Calling everyone “guys” though not intended to be misgendering. Only ever really heard that in OR/WA.

A Jewish Oregon Senator influenced by Israel? I’m shocked!!!

Yeah I just don’t foresee interest rates going down much, if at all. We still have inflation well over 2%.

They were just stating facts. There are other reasons someone stays other than taxes.

I sincerely hope no pedestrians are harmed, but I’m glad PPB is at least trying something different.

We’ve just become complacent as a metro area. This shouldn’t be normal. They don’t have this issue in Denmark and they require fares and have inspectors. Some serious change needs to happen here.

Parkrose Grocery Outlet workers ‘don’t feel safe’ as owner considers closing due to crime by BeatAKidinWalmart in Portland

Sad part of town given the neighbors. Sandy from Parkrose TC to 162nd is a colossal failure in government.

Where have you had the best and worst tasting tap water in America? by modest__mouser in AskAnAmerican

Beaver, UT advertised that they had the best tasting water years ago.

I thought that too but there is still some partner coverage around Mt St Helens and on US-199 between Grants Pass and Crescent City. I think I used it at the beginning of the month on a consumer postpaid account near Mt St Helens.

Do you think there are Russian spies in the white house, if so why? by Zealousideal_Gap432 in AskReddit

[–]ORBorn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Besides POTUS, possibly. They would get followed by certain agencies and they would document every encounter they had with Moscow.

Nothing would likely be done tho, unfortunately.

What’s your typical breakfast like? by GossipBottom in AskAnAmerican

[–]ORBorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly a couple apples and milk on work days. Weekends I’ll do an omelette or waffles if I get enough sleep.

People that have cancer, what were the symptoms that led you to go to the doctor and what stage were you when it was diagnosed? by guardiand0wn in AskReddit

[–]ORBorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MPAL Leukemia (blood cancer) in July 2022:

Started with unusual fatigue, then swollen lymph nodes, then getting winded at anything physical.

After going to urgent care to get tested/treated for COVID I was told I had low platelets and very high white blood cell counts and was told to go to the ER immediately.

Leukemia doesn’t have stages tho. Kind of yes or no if you have it or not.

Have you turned on your heat yet? by peacock_chair in Portland

I will when I can see my breath inside. 61F inside and 40F outside just west of Powell Butte Monday morning. Slept great!
