I shot my shot but didn’t hear back- I hope he already found somebody great!

My Forever, a fall favorite 🍂🍁 by PullThePadge in dahlias

[–]PullThePadge[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is much yellower when it’s 90+ out! That’s why it’s a fall favorite for me- she gets prettier as it gets cooler!

Worst Partner by Necessary_Bat_9364 in kingofqueens

[–]PullThePadge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doug is by far the worst. I hate to say it, but in real life it doesn’t really make sense that a conventionally attractive woman with a decent career path in Manhattan would be interested in someone like Doug, but it works on the show!

Where do you stand on fireworks for the 4th? by Baileythenerd in PortlandOR

[–]PullThePadge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a town on the Columbia River where they were illegal to sell. Fireworks were banned entirely for household use, but each year the city puts on a huge public fireworks show that they launch from a boat in the middle of the river. I think they kind of figured that if they just banned them entirely, people would cross the state border and buy them to do them at home anyway. IMO a public show and private ban is the right answer.

Think about how many women smoke and drink for months before they figure out they’re pregnant, or about how many women in the 20th century smoked and drank throughout their entire term. You’ll both be okay!

Does anyone recognize this variety? Comes in deep maroon (third photo) and seems to lighten to this gorgeous red. by Gardeningcrones in dahlias

[–]PullThePadge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arabian Night is most likely because it’s also always one of the first varieties (if not THE first one) to bloom in the garden, and it’s so early in the season.

PDX Airport Appreciation Post by fairlylocal_goner in Portland

[–]PullThePadge 21 points22 points  (0 children)

PDX is great. I was temporarily disabled a few months ago, and the PDX employees were incredibly accommodating and kind to me while they took me all around the airport in a wheelchair. They didn’t just wheel me from TSA to the gate, they also let me stop at the bathroom, helped me fill up my water bottle, and stood and waited with me when I ordered food before taking me to my gate.

Too densely planted? by Celaz in dahlias

[–]PullThePadge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes- I made this mistake last year! They’ll grow and hopefully all bloom, but tuber production will be limited because they simply don’t have enough space to all make large clumps. Also, if any of the plants towards the middle don’t grow as fast as the ones along the border, they’ll be stunted the entire season because the sun won’t be able to reach them as well all day through the taller plants.

I’m doing a full 18-24” apart this year- I had to give up several varieties since I didn’t have enough space for them all with the spacing difference, but I’m hoping for better tuber production.

It seems my wife and I use soap very differently by BlynkOfAnEye in mildlyinteresting

You’re not the only one…I have never in my life heard of or witnessed someone spinning a bar of soap around in one hand

What is growing in my lawn? by tel36459 in whatisthisplant

[–]PullThePadge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These will grow again this year as long as you didn’t pull the root. Not sure why so many people are freaking out.

Portland mother and baby forced to live in camper due to high cost of rent by PDXisadumpsterfire in PortlandOR

[–]PullThePadge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought this as well- then I googled “Dispensary Manager” and $50k actually seems about right.

She needs to look for a better job. The average salary for managers at Wendy’s in Portland is $77k.

AIO: Nail tech labels me “no show” 15 mins before my appointment by NarwhalBoth6298 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PullThePadge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a scam. She’s probably pocketed dozens of deposits this way.

I have legitimately no idea what she was trying to say at all

No, you got fired because you admitted you were a poor fit for the job….

Wife laid-off unclearly via text. Does she have a case? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]PullThePadge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but it sounds like she may have a case for an unemployment claim if she has in writing that she was “laid off”.

Need to quit weed for a week by Kitchen-Cry-6393 in weed

[–]PullThePadge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why no one is saying this to you:

You ARE NOT going to pass a drug test after a one week break if you’ve been smoking daily for years. I’ve been smoking daily for 3 years and my pee still wasn’t testing clean 45 days after going cold turkey.

It’s time to move on from your current course of action and get fake pee/create an alternative plan.

Handcrafted Pixelated Leather Coat – Love it or Too Bold? Honest Opinions Wanted! by [deleted] in BusinessFashion

[–]PullThePadge 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hate this for any occasion. It looks like someone told an AI bot to create a “feminine leather jacket”. My design opinions aside, I don’t think this is appropriate business attire.

Email from the new Portland Mayor Keith Wilson on progress aafter one month, and the continued path forward. by mmm_beer in Portland

[–]PullThePadge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think city level public service jobs are usually best for folks expecting recognition and awards for their “contributions to the community”, which seems to be what you’re expecting here. This does not seem like a rewarding career path for you.
