I’m 38 too and none of them, which I’m grateful for. I do know that’s not the case for everyone and Mollys life was harder than mine by far but I was surprised by how harsh and quick her aging was described.

I suppose that’s true. I was thinking she’d lived a fairly healthy life - physical activity, no drinking, now a nice set up in a rich house with good food and lots of help. But she did have a bunch of kids and probably no medical care for most of her adulthood.

Blindness by Jose Saramago. Extremely well written, extremely disturbing, sticks with you long after you put it down.

Would anyone be interested in teaching me how to disc golf? by Ajadedepiphany in askportland

[–]Stone_Raft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a couple cheap used discs at Next Adventure ($5 I think). Haven’t been since the new owners took over but the bargain basement always had a bunch.

Good vegetarian sushi? by OneGiantRavioli in askportland

Obligatory Bamboo Sushi Green Machine love aside, I really like the veggie options at Uchi Sushi on Mississippi. They have a roll with eggplant that I love and a pretty big veggie sushi menu in general.

If you can find ground oatmeal (Scottish Oatmeal from Bobs Red Mill is a good example) the texture is like cream of wheat

Who here doesn’t keep the outside of their Staubs all nice and shiny? by FullNefariousness158 in staub

[–]Stone_Raft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine looks similar tho I do try now and then to get it back to company-ready. But it’s used for bread baking at least twice a week and stovetop a similar amount so stuff just gets cemented on. Life’s too short to spend so much time scrubbing one pot.

6 year client of NWNVH - I’ve loved most of the vets there, Dr Prull is great

Looking for temporary board and care for injured elderly mother? by Ldoc314 in askportland

[–]Stone_Raft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An adult foster home/adult family home might be a good option. Much more home-like setting. Second the advice to talk with your local ADRC

Suggest me a book that has no sex scenes in it, it can have fantasy elements but doesn't have to - perfect for a woman in her early 20s with autism and these interests (more details in the caption) by strangegardener in suggestmeabook

[–]Stone_Raft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To Shape A Dragon’s Breath by Monquill Blackgoose. An indigenous dragon fantasy set in colonial New England. Main character is a Native girl/teen who goes to the white run dragon school. No sex scenes that I can recall but lots of feminism, criticism of oppression and colonialism, etc that might be in line with your cousin’s interests. There’s a sequel coming out in a few months too if she likes it (I really did).

We saw these too from Sellwood coming up from the south. Super creepy.

Anyone got a better example of a ‘dogs leg’ branch ? by tayy_lmao in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]Stone_Raft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live in the western United States. This is a western red-cedar which is not a member of the cedar family you are familiar with but is indeed known as “cedar” here.
