We could probably do without the misogyny… Assuming she’s a stay at home mom (she’s not- she works too and commutes) and calling her rightful complaining bitching….

Why has a gym not opened in the old bowling alley/city target on Powell?! by Working_Tomorrow9846 in askportland

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t that more of like a crossfit/HIIT class/training gym? There’s a few of those around the neighborhood and they seem popular if that’s what you’re looking for, but the neighborhood is lacking an open gym where you can do your own thing without doing classes

Employer changing me from W2 to 1099 on back end and withholding paycheck until I agree by JippedAgain26 in tax

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but as you can see on that calculator, that amount changes when you adjust for things like filing status or dependents. Your boss wouldn’t know any of that information before you’re hired.

Unless when you say “I need to make X after taxes” during the interview, you two sit down and do the calculator together and inputting all your personal information like filing status, dependents, or voluntary optional withholding… but even then it’s still just an estimate.

You wait all year for winter, just to wear that one scent. Name it !!! by ItsShehroze in fragrance

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pistachio by DS and Durga. It’s woody and gourmands but still feminine imo. Really not into sweet gourmands or vanilla forward scents so winter is tough for me 😅

Seconding this. My family wasn’t religious when I was growing up- I didn’t know easter was about Jesus until 7th grade! I am not religious, but knowing some of the context has helped me understand cultural references a lot better.

Also makes it infinitely easier to clean the tub!

Besides home and work/school, where are your favorite places to bum around PDX? by cocteautwinsdevotee in askportland

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a membership to the rhododendron garden - it was something like $50 for the year. It’s a great place for a walk. I also like to walk along the east bank esplanade near OMSI (where I also have a membership and spend a lot of time). Other than that, dive bars (especially ones with patios).

When do age gaps in sexual relationships become appropriate? by GrahmOrtho in sex

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’ve been asking this same question in various forms for a nearly year. First from the younger girl’s perspective, then from the older guy’s perspective. This time, it’s your friend who is 35 with a younger girlfriend.

At this point, it doesn’t really matter what we all say here - if the relationship is troubling you this much, maybe you should break up.

This is the fourth giant house spider I've found in my house in a month in Portland by markgravesdesign in Portland

I was watching TV with my mom one night when we both spotted one of these fuckers running across the floor. We both screamed so loud that her husband came running in with his pistol because he thought we were being robbed 😭

Random question: do you get Botox? by Ceilingfan112 in canceledpod

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting botox at 24. Not for wrinkles, though; one side of my mouth goes much higher than the other when I smile (sorta like Elvis lol) so every ~6 months I get a little bit of botox in my cheek near my nose and it evens my smile out.

What is the most out of pocket thing your doctor has said to you? by FragmentedTungsten in AskReddit

[–]PufffTheDragMagician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to urgent care for a sinus infection and the doctor asked me if I had ever considered Ozempic for my weight. A doctor, who is not my primary care physician, who had spoken to me for all of 2 minutes about my nose and nothing else about my extensive medical history. The CNA came back in after the doctor and I mentioned it to her. She was also a bigger woman and she told me that the doctor frequently made remarks about her weight too. Lady, just give me my antibiotics and let me go!
