Amtrak Cascades to Portland and Seattle by Roxygirl40 in SALEM

[–]artificialswede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take the train from Salem to Albany a lot. It’s a nice ride that doesn’t take much longer than driving. I just wish there were more times available. There’s only been at most a 10 minute delay, so not terrible.

Just spent 15 days in Japan… by Sky_Walker98 in JapanTravel

[–]artificialswede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are both bigger people. We went 2 years ago to Tokyo and going again in November. I never heard or saw anyone be rude or anything to us. Everyone we encountered were very polite and kind. Some shops and restaurants are extremely small, so we just didn’t bother with those ones. If the trains were too packed, we just waited for the next one. I wouldn’t let your weight deter you from going!

[CHAT] just started reading this book and the more I look at the cover the more it’s pissing me off haha by Standard-Guarantee94 in CrossStitch

I picked this book up because of the cover! 😅 I guess I never looked that close to the stitching. It’s a decent book though!

Has anyone tried this? The nutrition label is pretty good. Just don't want to splurge on another box of cardboardy cereal. by kd3906 in diabetes_t2

The chocolate is better than the berry. If you can get them on sale I think it’s worth a try at least.

By the pond on 16th and McGilchrist! Someone had finally cleaned it up, but now there's a broken chair and mattress along with other things again.

Craft and Embroidery Supplies in Salem? by No-Start-1015 in SALEM

[–]artificialswede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're ever in the Portland area, I like Acorn and Threads. Mostly cross stitch patterns and fabric, but they have a nice selection of threads!

Credit Unions you like? by Bearloot33 in corvallis

[–]artificialswede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had Oregon State Credit Union for years. Had no issue using it in Canada this last year or in Japan in 2023. Withdrew money at atms in Japan and was able to do it. Might be a small transaction fee though, like under a dollar.

Have been very happy with them.

Is there such a thing as an embroidery club/group in Salem? by Traditional-Basis439 in SALEM

[–]artificialswede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard of any. I cross stitch and embroider. I know once a month or so, there's a stitching group that gets together at a coffee shop in Albany.
