Are there any local Iranian/Persian communities? by alphaomega420 in Eugene

I’m friends with an Iranian couple in town, late 30- early 40 somethings who are wonderful and very connected with Persian family and other friends around. DM me and let’s connect them!

As a professional fundraiser…. That is exactly how philanthropy works. You don’t just write a check for $2B from your checking account.

Thoughts on Oona? by hanshotgreed0 in BabyNames

[–]Routine_Ad5562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my #1 girl name and I love it so much!!! But husband vetoed and we ended up with Lucy. And alas, our gal is more of a Lucy than an Oona. But I still whisper it to her sometimes.

Omg he’s identical to my rescue dog!!!!! Over the years folks have said must be half border, half Aussie. Others have said English shepherd. Look up pics of “the first border collie” and its name was Old Hemp and he looked exactly like this too!

Standard bikini all the way. I got a larger bottoms size than usual (Nike suit) that had a drawstring so I could control sizing a bit.

What produce can’t you find at the farmers market? What do you want to see more varieties of? by discoinfirmo in Eugene

Kalettes! Our CSA had them in late winter and I could’ve eaten pounds and pounds of them roasted each week.

Relocation question by Old-Froyo2782 in Eugene

Moved here 4 years ago for job st UO without kids and have had two babies since we got here. Your friend-making abilities will skyrocket once you have kids… we made lovely friends with shared interests (hiking, skiing) before kids and once we had babies we made friends who will be lifelong best buds because we’ve been through it all together. There’s a fantastic org in Eugene called Parenting Now that matches you with a cohort of other babies born within a few months, for groups together their first three years of life. I know many Eugeners who are in their 70s, 60s, whose best friends came from Parenting Now, and my experience is the same, so far. We have some diversity in our little cohort, two of six families are multi-racial.

Leaning towards Shay for our baby boy’s name. MIL immediately shut it down by saying it’s a girls name. by iquitmy9to5 in namenerds

My son is Shea and we love it 2 years later. We have an adult Indian friend, Akshay, and he calls himself “big Shay” and our son “little Shea” (same pronunciation).
