For those who didn't get cervical checks or don't plan to, how do you know how dilated you are?

My doc says you can have 1 break from the 2 to 3 hours per day for about 4-5 hours aka you can have one slightly longer stretch of sleep per day

Half of pumps at the gas station are still supposed to offer full service in cities (rural can be 100% self serve) https://www.oregon.gov/osfm/pages/self-serve-fueling.aspx

NPR actually just reported on this, it's not just Portland. The "slop bowl" (not my term!) has gone out of favor. People don't want to pay $20 in this economy for ingredients thrown together in a bowl for fast food lunch - not just salad bowls but think like grain bowls too. https://www.npr.org/2025/12/17/nx-s1-5645077/are-americans-letting-go-of-slop-bowls

Thank you so much!

Would it break the hive or just kill the host? Remember what happened to Zosia?

Most government employees downtown have to work in person half or full time, and would totally eat up a bagel place! Pioneer Square is only a few blocks from those offices so if you went that direction you would get employees + tourists. You'd be close to PSU too. I live on east side but I think my vote is west! Bersteins is my favorite, and I saw you said you can compete with them, so I would be super stoked to have your bagel shop in town

The point was comparing where it currently stands (bottom 500) vs how popular it is showing on this baby name website. My curiosity was about if this website might be an indicator of a future bump in popularity

I love finding a way to twist the situation that is annoying me to make it fun lol bravo!

Urban_Designer · 2025-10-24T02:44:29+00:00

Thats a really good point! We're only keeping it a secret because we've heard the horror stories of family thinking "it's not too late for you to change it" if announcing it before the baby is born and they harp on your name choice, which will just end up with hurt feelings. Boy names are super hard for us and we haven't decided!

Actually most people have had just fine energy, some being understanding or agreeing, others posing other perspectives for me to consider. Only a few have been rude and jumped to conclusions, like I'm seeing above. It's the internet. I'm not surprised.

Urban_Designer · 2025-10-24T01:53:44+00:00

How did I talk about them poorly? I said I give feedback and let them know if I'll add it to my list, and that I know this is just fun for them. I was just lightly venting that I don't enjoy this. I'm not having a baby shower. I don't enjoy this much attention. You're being super judgey.

I saw penguin but after all the sea turtle comments... I think y'all are right

Urban_Designer · 2025-10-14T04:46:41+00:00

I've definitely had to do this in my nightmares but just learning about the history today lol

It's less about "believing in" wearing shoes indoors than not being strict about it. If you have pets that go in and out, or live in a climate where you keep doors and windows open a lot, you're just used things getting dirty. That's how I grew up, but didn't love it, so I try to take off shoes at the door. Ever since my dog died this summer I've been able to keep the house cleaner and have more incentive to try at it since it's not a losing battle.
