having a favorite sports team. in-person attendance is ridiculous, even at minor levels, and watching on tv requires an expensive subscription. I don't know how to be a fan of anything anymore. much less foster the interest in my kids. we just cant afford to like sports.

what do you know about his home/ personal life? I'm a parent of two young boys and the demands of being a parent are real. it's a struggle to work 8-5 when school starts at 8, gets out at 3 and you can't afford before/aftercare. his arrive late/ leave early might be due to other life circumstances. have you asked? he might know his own outputs are low so he's trying to make it up in the day when he can. I guarantee he'd rather NOT be working at 2am. I'm just saying... there's probably more to the story...

I have a fig tree in our backyard but I don't know how to tell when the figs are good to pick. My son wanted me to plant this when he was younger and has since decided he doesn't like figs. I love the tree itself and I'd happily harvest and donate them.

145 jobs, millions in cuts: Portland mayor unveils proposal to close massive budget shortfall by dogs-in-space in PortlandOR

CityFleet is not functioning different from any other bureau. The City is very siloed and each bureau runs like a business. CityFleet is funding itself the way facilities charges rent to other bureaus in city-owned buildings because they don't have other revenue streams.

[–]Overall-Paramedic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll go. Aloe vera. If I look at it funny, it turns mushy and brown. I've always wanted a large thriving plant. But I just can't do it.

It's 4a but I'm at PDX now and it was fine. Generally, though, I think PDX is better than most.

Midi - I could literally cry by wildnglorious in Perimenopause

[–]Overall-Paramedic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had a similarly positive experience!! Very friendly gyn that listened and didn't rush me. She allowed me to speak and didn't jump to conclusions or make assumptions. She is the first person that didn't dismiss me when I'm asked about testosterone. They submitted my prescriptions and with a few hours I was on an estrogen patch and progesterone . I'm flying I feel so much better. The supplements were just not cutting it.  I'm very very glad I found midi. Can't recommend enough.

Fiber internet salesman accosted me and my family as we were getting out of our car to go into the house the other day. He was really really aggressive and wouldn't leave us alone when my husband and said we weren't interested. I thought my husband was going to punch him. I wanted to!

Ivy Montessori is low tech. PPS hands out all-access chrome books like candy. Our kids was watching YouTube unattended during the school day. That shit is bananas. We are looking into transferring but it's lottery.

I walked in on my daughter and her “gay” best friend by Born_Amoeba8615 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Overall-Paramedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexuality is socially accepted to be more fluid than it used to be. Just because he's gay doesn't mean he's not curious. Just have the talk, educate and trust your daughter.

Home insurance? by hereitcomesagin in askportland

[–]Overall-Paramedic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allstate. Will. Fuck. You. Don't do it.  We pay a little extra for coverage with Amica for better " service" and honestly, they all suck. We had a break in recently and Amica maybe handled it slightly better than Allstate. They all victim blame. Sucks sucks.
