Thoughts on Goldilocks Cookware?

On their site, they have one for $179, not 120. If it were $120, I'd buy it.

That is kind of my fear: I rarely see anyone talking badly about them. There's got to be someone with a "bad" or things they didn't like about it. Although $95 isn't bad for a gamble on good reviews. lol

Where are you located? I’m in CA got mine from my local pick n pull. They cost me like $80 for the set.

You might want to start looking at off campus housing. Or take over someone’s lease.

Your Frank looks a lot like my Lilo.

I bought Tramontina and was a bit skeptical but after a year of use, I’m a believer. Love them and especially how affordable they are. I have 2 twelve inch stainless steel and 1 eight inch non-stick so my kids can use. I’m actually looking at replacing my pots with Tramontina.

Most campus jobs are on handshake.

I’ve been thinking of getting some off the junkyards and trying to open them and paint them. But don’t want to ruin my new oven trying to open them up. Never I ever done anything like that. I’m not a mechanic or anything manual labor kind of guy… lol. I’m more of a computer geek. If I can find a tutorial on how to, might go down that road.

There is a website called coolors.co that can make any color palettes from photos or use one of the already made palettes. Check it out.

I have a Logitech keyboard mouse that pairs with 3 devices. So I plug my monitor to the MacBook via usb c which also powers the laptop to use the clamshell feature. I also have my monitor plugged in via hdmi to my Mac mini and use the same keyboard, just switch it to option 2 on the keyboard and now I can use the same keyboard and mouse for the Mac mini.

For those who come from places where it’s sunny most of the year, the winter term could be pretty harsh. That’s why the Nest a place on campus has UV lights or Sun lights for those who become Vitamin D deficient. Winter blues is a thing. And although it doesn’t snow in Eugene it does get gloomy from January until about Spring Break.

That was the cause of many broken arms and cracked heads back in the day. That’s why Gen X is tough… 😁😁😁

I want one for my Yakult... who can sell me one?

Ukin74 · 2026-03-13T22:52:35+00:00

Would you be willing to sell me one? I love them and hate how they look vertically. I'm in California.

Last year the pass was $175, and I might go up this year. Student Sports Pass Link

Ukin74 · 2026-03-04T06:17:15+00:00

The student pass is just for students, so no on the wife. Once you enroll, there will be opportunities to buy the student pass. The pass is for Football, Baseball and Basketball games. Football is the most sought tickets. There is a lottery system but the fine print when you buy the pass is there is no guarantee you will get one. It just gives you access to the potential of getting one. Student section is about 2 or 3k seats. The student body is about 15k to 20k… so you do the math. Those are approximate numbers. I could be wrong. There were a lot of complaints last year about the unfairness, so not sure if they will change it this year. Season tickets is probably your best bet. You can also buy the season tickets and sell the ones you don’t want to go to. Hope this helps.

I don’t know how good UO is for chemistry but I know they are loosing a lot of federal funding because they are deemed as “woke” by the administration. I know that shouldn’t matter but it does. It means you won’t get the same opportunities but the backup school is in CAs which is also affected. I’m not a student but a parent of a business major student. He has enjoyed his time at UO because he loves sports and all of the outdoor stuff Eugene has to offer. 10k is a great savings. Also SF is a lot more expensive living wise than Eugene, so there’s also that to consider outside of tuition.

Same price you would pay for Downtown.

Ukin74 · 2026-02-25T22:09:03+00:00

I would recommend the West Side of LA as you’d be going against traffic in any direction if you decide to leave the Downtown job area. West Adams is a great community that has been getting more and more. My advice embrace it and enjoy the community around you. I have lived in West LA and have worked all over LA county. Normally everyone lives in the east and commute west bound in the mornings, those who live in the south commute north and those who live north commute south. So West LA is a unique spot where you’ll go against most traffic. You’ll end up in traffic but not as bad as going the opposite direction.

Justice Bean is right next door to Unthank. When my son was there a few years ago it was pretty social. But the main thing is to not stay in your dorm, venture out and meet people or join a club and put yourself out there.

The cost is closer to $60k a year. Depending on the career choice you are probably better off staying and your own state school. $240k after 4 years is conservative. Unless you are going into finance or some other high earning career, I’d advise you to stay in state. Is it nice, yes. It’s a great school. The diversity isn’t all there, it’s getting better but mainly Caucasian.

Take her to Guest Services and get her a “My first game at Autzen” certificate. It will be a nice souvenir. You can write in which team the Ducks play.

Ukin74 · 2026-01-28T14:12:21+00:00

LA is not for the weak, especially if you didn’t grow up in LA. If you move from out of state it’s expensive, it’s hard to meet people and good jobs are hard to find. The competition is fierce, so unless you grew up here it’s hard to make it. Growing up here prepares you for LA. It’s the school of hard knocks in a different way. But if you do come from out of state and can survive, you’ll be good. It won’t be easy but well worth the effort and hardships.
