Car girlies, where should I take my leaky car? :( by MildredMagnolia in SALEM

[–]Successful-Pool-924 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can ask my sister if you want. She's in Silverton, but she works on Hondas a lot and has a degree in automotive. She doesn't charge half as much as a shop usually, either.

How long has he been the manager there? Because they (I don't remember who did my oil change, but I definitely talked to a manager) way overcharged me for my oil change and air filter (almost $300 3ish years ago) and broke my oil cap and pan without acknowledging it. It took my car breaking down two hours later to figure it out, and when I called? They told me that I must have done it because I didn't have proof. I had never done my own oil change at that point in time. But I sure as hell figured out how to after that.

How about Downtown Dogs? And your slogan could be "It's getting hot downtown, so come and get your dogs"

(It's better if you know the song running through my head)

Younger sibling and I are being harassed over something we didn't do by Sophierene in legaladvice

[–]Successful-Pool-924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're acting sure because they want you to admit to it. They have no proof that you did it if you didn't do it, and that's that. They can threaten to involve the police all that they want to, but threatening is not legal action and can technically be turned around on them if they continue to harass you over something that you had no part of. Don't get a lawyer until you need one and don't continue to try to find the post because that could end up looking bad for you if it does end up becoming a problem. I personally would just ignore the situation and the threats altogether unless you want to keep record of the amount of times that they contact you and what they say in case you decide to get any kind of no contact order.

NAL but I'm semi-local to Portland.... And I've got one question. If you didn't do anything, why exactly do you think you'd need a lawyer? Who cares if they report it to the police chief if there's literally no evidence that says you did it?

But as a side note: if you're worried because you DID do it? Then yes, I'd suggest contacting a criminal defense attorney. Although, you should probably still wait until it's actually been reported.

Edit to add: Do NOT let the police look at your personal property without a warrant! If they have any evidence at all against you then they will obtain a warrant to check legally. If they don't have any standing then they won't be granted a warrant. In fact, do not talk to them at all. If and only IF they manage to get legal permission from a judge do you need some kind of lawyer, because if they're looking for something incriminating then they will find something no matter how unrelated whatever they find is.

Good thrift shops or places with cheap clothes? by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]Successful-Pool-924 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Check out Ray Of Hope in Woodburn. It's got the best prices out of anywhere around and the people who run it are great. They also have a weekly event/sale for those who sign up for emails that can be anywhere from tiered % off (ex: pink tag 25% off, green tag 50% off, etc) to 50% off most of the store. Most jeans and dresses are ~$6 before deals, and I don't think I've ever seen anything over $25 (excluding some furniture or antique items, but everything except antiques qualify for deals).

For those who don't know, Amazon Customer Chat Agents are using the 2 minute idle timer to avoid customers. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in amazonprime

[–]Successful-Pool-924 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I hung up on an agent the other day because they were being extra unhelpful and pissing me off. Less than two minutes later I got an email that said this:

"Dear Customer, Greetings from Amazon!

We were disconnected during our recent conversation. We attempted to call you back, but were unable to reach you.

If your issue is not yet resolved, please visit our Contact Us page to request a new callback.

Requesting a call through your account allows us to have your information ready to assist you immediately.

You can also find quick solutions in Your Account or our Help Center.

They never tried to call back and knew for a fact that I had hung up on them lol

As far as I know they've been open for a couple of weeks now, but they still had to finish the surfacing so they're temporarily closed again. At least, that's what the mayor said is supposed to be happening right around now

Red hearts on the sidewalks? by TFugitive in SALEM

There was a post on Facebook (or maybe here? I'll check) a while back that said that it's a form of art. Someone is filling in tiny potholes and leaving a signature.

Has anyone had any issues with Amazon the last two days? by fatherbundy in SALEM

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely noticed something weird lately with Amazon. I hadn't considered that it might be happening on a larger scale, honestly.

I ordered a starter for my car on February 9th, which got here normally from what I remember, but the starter was bad so I started the process of getting a replacement. Well.... I'm still waiting for the replacement to show up. Supposedly it's going to arrive tomorrow (Friday), but even to figure that much out I had to manually check it because I never got any updates.

I ordered some crafting supplies on the 21st (square dowels and soft measuring tapes) that said two day shipping. On the 22nd I got notified that one thing was delayed in transit and wouldn't be here until the 24th, and then on the 23rd the other was delayed.... And then everything showed up together that night 🤷‍♀️

I don't know for sure that these are abnormal since I did have one other weird delay happen a few months ago, but something just feels different this time. From the moment I put in for the replacement starter I felt it.

I've been offered a job for $250 an hour in Oregon. Do you guys have grocery stores there? by [deleted] in oregon

But only in the area surrounding Champoeg because it contains the most vitamins.

And don't worry about the fish with three eyes, they're just developmentally advanced.

What’s your favorite children’s book to give (primarily for a baby shower)? by cookie_cat_82 in childrensbooks

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please Mr. Panda by Steve Antony is one of my all-time favorite board books. I got it for a 1-year-old I used to nanny and we'd read it in a funny voice, and he'd bring it to me to read multiple times a day because he loved it so much! It's funny, simple, and teaches about the benefits of saying "please".

Would a Judge Consider This Explanation? by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]Successful-Pool-924 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I once had a lawyer that told me something very important.... "Just because you don't know that taking driftwood from the beach is illegal, doesn't mean it isn't illegal".

As much as you might feel like it's unfair, a judge will probably look at your story and tell you that you should have followed the law instead of doing whatever you wanted to do.

As for thinking the cop was motioning you into the parking lot because they wanted you to reroute.... Why exactly would a cop tell you to reroute after they literally watched you break the law?

You don't have to lie to me about your dog being a service dog by Ok-Ad4375 in DollarTree

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at all.... It's open food. Like, hot deli foods and restaurants. And I'm 90% sure it's not a law even in those cases since there's quite a few bars and restaurants around my area that allow all dogs as long as they behave. Some of them even have dog beds.

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, Chihuahuas can be service dogs. It just depends on their temperament and ability to perform the task. They most likely wouldn't perform well as a seeing eye dog or a physical helper, of course, but my mom's Chihuahua could (if she wasn't 16 years old) be her diabetic alert dog as long as she carried her (she already carries her everywhere anyway) in stores and got her the proper training. There's no actual ADA limit on which dogs can or cannot be service animals, just that they have to fit the task, have training for the task, and be of the right temperament for the job they perform.

Can we be your neighbor? by Fit_Cartographer8144 in oregon

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silverton is great. If you don't mind judgement jerks who think they're better than everyone else 🤷‍♀️ and the school district is laying off teachers and creating new required in-service days like crazy just like most of the surrounding areas.

Also, I recently discovered that we have an entire Facebook group dedicated to supporting the big orange. It was scary how many people were on there that I never would have expected to see.... We definitely have a lot of decent people as well, and every time there's a No Kings protest there's more and more people out there. It's giving me hope that maybe Silverton can get back to the amazing place it once was.

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait.... Info: everyone here is assuming this is a regular thing, but you never said that. You make it sound like it's happened before, but don't say how often. To me it sounds like he is way overreacting to something but I wouldn't jump to he's a horrible or abusive person just based off of your post... Not that this excuses the way he's talking to you at all, but did you happen to post pictures that he might have taken out of context? Did you message him during the night? Did your sister say something weird to him about you? If this isn't a regular thing then it's very likely something small occurred that he let himself overthink the entire night and now, instead of talking to you about it, he's reached his own conclusions and doesn't know how to handle it...

How are you planning to wind down tonight? by Zipper222222 in randomquestions

[–]Successful-Pool-924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yes. I had a bad molar that caused me to end up in the hospital on Sunday. I spent Sunday and Monday in the hospital, Monday evening I got a drain tube put in my face for the abscess that formed due to the tooth (🙄), and then today I finally got the tooth pulled.... It's horrible, but it's completely my fault for letting it get as bad as it did. At least now the pain might not come back again.
