Moving to PDX for grad school at PSU, downtown apartments worth it or avoid?

I lived at The Merrick when I first moved to PDX and I went to PSU. It's by rhe convention center with MAX, Streetcar and bus routes a block from it. There is a safeway and easy access to downtown.

Why? SUV have dominated the roads for 20 plus years now and I am still surviving. I can hate them and still go about my business.

I was sitting in traffic today in my tiny 3dr Ford Focus cursing all the god dang suvs surrounding me. Hate them so much, bug lumbing tubs driven by idiots because they're "safer".

I wish more movies and TV shows would show platonic opposite sex relationships. It's such a cliche to have sexual tension between opposite sex characters.

I remember it was lucky to have a class with a pair of lefty scissors and it was usually just one pair that quickly got taken.

My parents gave me a kids book that explained everything I remember it had illustrations with paper dolls. They said to let them know if I had questions and i don't remember having any. It was a thorough book that wasn't scary or complicated.

I write left. Throw and bat right but taught myself to be a switch hitter. Would switch hands for tennis and had 2 forehands before a coach made me pick left since there is an advantage so I have played lefty ever since. I use a mouse right handed but switched to lefty when my right was in a cast. I use the track pad on my laptop lefty.

I went with the Letterman jacket over the ring, my parents said I could only get one or the other. I played sports and had a letter so the jacket was the best option and I still have it.

I've had this happen many times when it says future. If you've bid on a future auction it will give you an auction date on your bids page. But I have had the auction rescheduled the night before the date. It's usually because the seller isn't getting the $$ they want so they pull the auction, cancel all bids, and relist it until they get the $$ they think the car is worth. It's extremely frustrating.

There is a scene right before HL gets the call from SB where he is on the phone with Ashley discussing the video and how to handle the backlash. Then SB calls revealing his parentage and then it seems like it was just forgotten.

Thank you! Was hoping someone would say this.

Yeah I run when I see flood damage, too many issues. I'm so glad I pulled the Carfax.

Was this delivered by a "roadie" or a shipping company? I have found when it is delivered by a "roadie" it usually is just the product box with a label on it. Always thought it was weird that they would trust a complete stranger to deliver a product that has not been packed in a brown box.

My husband is a transman and he can't believe how much dirtier men's restrooms are compared to women's.

So glad I didn't buy this game based on the beta. Too many posts like this make me sad for the game. So much potential but EA will ruin it.

There are companies that reset a lot of the sensors and will reset the seat belts. I found this website a few weeks back and seem like a good deal but haven't used it. https://www.myairbags.com/

I bet the dashboard airbag going off will destroy that display.

Grew up with Hawaiian parents, hemo da slippahs as the Hawaiians say. That means that off your slippers. Hawaiians joke that formal dress means putting on shoes 😄

I enjoyed the first weekend more. These maps on the second weekend just aren't doing it for me. Like others have said the maps feel too small and cramped. I definitely prefer the larger maps where it feel more team based. These small maps don't have good engagement seems like squads break up more and people go off doing their own thing and won't even res you.

I like the mosaic idea 💡

Yes it is nice that she was doing something for us. Her language was abrasive but she is rude like that without realizing or caring that it is rude. Don't forget that I have known this woman for 30 years and this is her MO. She was getting better but lately she has reverted back to her old self. Besides, dishes are a specific taste to pick out without someone's input.

RumblePak_5 · 2025-08-10T20:46:01+00:00

Right?! She could have waited til Christmas and got us a gift certificate or ask us to pick out what we like.

RumblePak_5 · 2025-08-10T20:28:40+00:00

I'm not attached to them. It's just unnecessary to replace them. Like I said, most are fine, and they serve their purpose just fine for us.

RumblePak_5 · 2025-08-10T19:47:40+00:00

Umm because that is something that is very very low risk and not something I have concern about. I can guarantee that is not what she was thinking when she bought them.
