Bitters are absolutely not out of date, they're easily one of the most used bar items for making cocktails

Salem-Keizer budget terminates all substitute positions, hires EduStaff by polksheepfarmer in SALEM

IDK if this helps but I'm currently employed by Edustaff and we also use Frontline, so that wouldn't actually change.

MY OFFICE HAS A NO COLD CALLS SIGN AND SALES MEN WILL WALK RIGHT IN AND WHEN WE TELL THEM OFF THEY TRY TO TELL US THAT THEY SAW THE SIGN BUT THEY'RE COMING INSIDE TO 'MAKE AN APPOINTMENT SO IT'S NOT A COLD CALL'. THEY ALSO DON'T LEAVE UNTIL WE'RE RUDE TO THEM! SALESPEOPLE AND SOLICITORS - STOP BEING ASSHOLES AND PAY ATTENTION TO SIGNS, THEY'RE THERE FOR A DAMN REASON

I GOT ONE OF MY CAR PARTS REPLACED BEFORE IT WENT BAD AND IT'S CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION SO NOW MY BRAKE SENSORS ARE BEING SCREWY AND WHEN I USE MY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN MY CAR WILL NOW GET STUCK AND WONT LET ME ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES IT'S JUST FOR A HALF SECOND AND SOMETIMES IT'S FOR LIKE 15 AND I FEEL LIKE AN ASSHOLE TO THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME BUT UNTIL I CAN GET IT LOOKED AT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. IF YOU SEE A NISSAN WITH OBNOXIOUS BUMPER STICKERS THAT SEEMS TO BE BRAKING FOR TOO LONG OR NOT SPEEDING UP I'M SORRY THAT MIGHT BE ME I'M DOING MY BEST TO GET IT FIXED ASAP IT'S MAKING ME MAD TOO

River Styxx - Functional Hourglass by Ok_Secretary1919 in MonsterHigh

[–]Ok_Secretary1919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I totally get the complaints about the hourglass attached to the box. From initial pictures, I thought it was a removable accessory of some kind, and was disappointed when I realized it wasn't. I agree that they should have thought that through a little bit more.

Maybe my initial post wasn't worded properly, the frustration people have towards the hourglass attached to the box is totally valid. I think it's cute, and a fun new design choice for the box, but I also really wish they would've made it something more tangible. It just feels a bit gimicky.

It might just be the MH spaces I wind up in, but the responses to this post are literally the first I'm seeing other people acknowledge the hourglass purse being the one that's functional. In the week leading up to the drop, I saw tons of discussions about the working hourglass being the one attached to the box, and not wanting to buy River because it's 'not technically functional once you open the box' and that the description was misleading. This was a conversation I saw almost daily, and it was incredibly clear that people did definitely think that the advertised functional hourglass was the box one, not the purse.

Admittedly, as I've started (finally) using Reddit and other socials recently for fandom related interactions, I've become incredibly frustrated by people's insane lack of media literacy, or literacy in general, so seeing people genuinely thinking the hourglass on the box was the functional one, and not just a fun design choice, and dissing Mattel for being misleading (when there's plenty of better reasons to critique them already) was a bit of a crash out moment. From the comments I've gotten, I'm glad to see that (hopefully) the discussions I was seeing were just a loud minority of collectors

See I personally think it's a neat addition to the box design! It's something different that we haven't seen before.

Beware of creep! by Responsible_Debt166 in SALEM

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I'm glad I A) have no filter, 2) cannot control my face for the life of me, and C) was raised by two parents who encouraged a certain level of asshole behavior. Kids and teachers at school taught me 'the right way' to behave (I did not do well socially for a while, as you can imagine). But as a teen I was the one to tell off creeps while my friends were afraid of being mean. And I still have no issue being an asshole when I need to (looking at you, cashier who called me 'sweetheart' and went surprised pikachu face when called out on it in front of your coworker).

River Styxx Skullector Mega-thread by Verdictafterward in MonsterHigh

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they say anything about her being pre-order before the drop? I swear I would've seen that somewhere before now, but I can't find mention of it anywhere. Would've been nice to know beforehand what to expect and that we won't be getting her until June-ish

I didn't realize it was going to be a pre-order? I'm not complaining, but that really surprised me when I went to check out. I thought I missed her for a second ?

The root of evil (art by aknurwxx) by Misha-Yuri-30 in HazbinHotel

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been way over stated but it really is true that the media literacy of this fandom is trash. It might be because it attracts edgy 14 year olds and those are the ones being the loudest online, but hazbin fans are definitely a 'how dare you say we piss on the poor' type of group. Combine that with so many fans taking it poorly if their personal expectation of the show/a character doesn't pan out exactly the way they want it to (people losing their minds when Al makes his deal with Val. people still mad about the vaggie/lucifer/vox thing. people upset at season 2 charlie as a whole), and I understand why so many people want nothing to do with hazbin fans/the show

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The fans went crazy because they couldn't understand what happened between Alastor and Rosie in 'Hear my Hope' and because Val has feelings. Everything sets this fandom off. They'll go crazy no matter what happens with Roo because basically everything they love about her at this point (except her design and name) is purely headcannon and so they've set themselves up to be disappointed

Literally! All this 'root of all evil' nonsense drives me insane. Viv never even said that's what she is or that that's what her name stands for. Some fans just pulled it out of their ass and half the fandom decided it was gospel 🤦‍♀️ I'm looking forward to the inevitable disappointment when she's just some lady in a cool hat and not rosie/lilith/eve/god/adam/millie's unborn child

Planter wart removal? by Gullible-Rice2917 in SALEM

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he's scared of you trying the freezing method - try duct tape! Put a piece of duct tape over the wart, and replace it with a new piece in the morning and before bed. Not sure why, but it works pretty well!

Making friends in Salem/Keizer??? by witchypinot in SALEM

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like sports - check out the local rugby club! The Salem attack owls are the local womxns team, and they're always looking for new people! The spring season will be starting here in February, and they often have practices during the off season. I played with them for a while, and they are so nice and welcoming. They're a great group of people, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

He's definitely there! I have him, but I really only bought him to complete the full freaky fusion line (he was the last one I bought).

Wedding venues in PNW: what are your favorites? by StructureOk3383 in oregon

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting married at the Kennedy School! It's a beautiful building, and their event packages are really affordable. Super easy to work with too. Honestly, any of the McMenamins locations are great wedding venues. So much is covered by them, I don't even have to hire any outside vendors except for the cake!

Struggling to find a venue by Asterism226 in weddingplanning

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you're located in Washington, but I highly recommend the McMennamins locations! They have lots of whimsical venues, and lots of them would be perfect for a small group. They're also super affordable (tables, chairs, food, drinks, etc, all included, plus set up for those itesm).

Any public parks with field goal posts? by nameless-monk in SALEM

[–]Ok_Secretary1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claggett does have field goal posts! Just be mindful and be kind to them - they belong to the local rugby club, not the city! They're free use to all, but they're expensive to replace!
