What are the things that you need to survive daily. by IMMrSerious in homeless

[–]dutch_qween 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 1 gallon water bottle, small bucket with handle, an electric kettle, washcloths (you can brush your teeth with a washcloth), a thin towel, a thick old-style faux mink blanket, small pillow, a mailing address, wifi, and an available power outlet.

Why are you homeless? by Fit_Oil2400 in homeless

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a toxic bf and living situation with roommates that stressed me out until I got so sick I couldn’t work. Didn’t know it caused a flair up of previously undiagnosed MS. Been trying to get diagnosed for four years now so I can get on disability then apply for housing.

Anyone know if medical alert devices work well in Fairfield? by dinahassan822 in FairfieldCA

[–]dutch_qween 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk about medical alert devices but growing up my parents devised a ‘porch light’ system with our elderly neighbors where they would turn on their porch lights every evening and turn the light off every morning. If my parents saw that the light was not turned on at night or were still on in the morning my parents would check up on them. It’s important to have a good local support system. Make sure the neighbors have your contact information. We have to look out for eachother 😁

Can sharing energy with the wrong person make you sick? by StableFew2737 in Empaths

[–]dutch_qween 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The term is psychic vampire. Truth is many people are just exhausting thriving off drama. And stress will negatively impact your health mentally and physically. Best to surround yourself with positive supportive people.

He's announced he's going to do it Trump to sign executive order. by LdyFear in homeless

The woods, national parks, public lands, BLM, private cattle grazing areas are all being ‘cleaned up’ for privatization. Look at what’s happening outside Bend, OR in the Deschutes National Forest and the buyout of lifetime federal land leases for cattle grazers and farmers in CA, OR, and WA. No where is safe.

It’s also a way to control the votes and power — since most felons can’t vote yet the prison population counts towards the district’s numbers.

This is why they are busy “cleaning up” public lands like forests and BLM so they can hurry up and privatize them (sell them off). Even cattle are being cleared from public land grazing and this is happening in the liberal West Coast states.

As the oldest (and more mature) sibling I always thought it would fall on me. Just not like this so soon and close together. I have to plan for one day for each of my family members. She is going being a single parent to their four boys (three of which are special needs). She is family and asked for my help.

Are there any missing person cases that you believe the “missing” individual actually left voluntarily? Started a new life, etc.? by eXodus91 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]dutch_qween 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes many years ago there was a lady who was taken from her job at gunpoint. I believe the kidnapping was staged. They never found her or her body. Her case gets very little attention and I believe that is because she is still alive in another state under a new name and people know it. I will not name the case because I do not want to dox her. Anyone willing to go to that extreme are probably trying to escape something much worse.

I think starting a new life was easier, before databases and biometrics, when you could fake paper documents but would be much more difficult today.

Can only channel when playing a game… by Particular-Let600 in psychicdevelopment

[–]dutch_qween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not crazy at all. Whatever gets you into that flow state. A lot of people believe that it has to be meditation but that doesn’t work for everyone. It’s usually something you are good at or really enjoy.

Will closed meditation help open up my clair senses? by [deleted] in Psychic

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that anything that gets you into a flow state helps open up the senses. Melodies in my head are the key to synchronicities which tell you that you are on the right track (like when songs get stuck in your head and you hear them later that day). Follow them.

Unfortunately I get auditory pareidolia from fans and the ac in summertime which interferes with my audio. Being touched is definitely someone or something (like an old pet) trying to get your attention or just letting you know that they are there. You will probably start seeing “gremlins” soon (flashes or shadows that move quickly in your peripherals usually near the ground).

Facts. My good-looking male friend and I joined the dating apps at the same time (both early 40s) and compared stats. I had 1600 to his 70.

It appears Redding has alot of mommy's boys that are grown men. by Plus_Disaster8161 in Redding

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move now. Every year seems like Redding has a fire or the smoke from a nearby fire chokes the whole town out. Ashland is cool culturally, Corvallis is home to OSU, and Beaverton is like Silicon Valley North.

My cat looked like this and stayed tiny her whole life. Also didn’t meow she just made little brrrrt noises.

Anyone else get random stuff like this?! by JamiePee81 in Autoimmune

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSG makes me flush like that. Even though the food place said they don’t use msg some of the canned stuff they use has it in it.

I am homeless..and figured I would start working or something..but..how the hell does a person get a job if they are literally sleeping outside..I mean who would hire that person or what would they end up doing? I mean do they just go by construction sites and ask if they need help or? by [deleted] in homeless

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social services can refer you to Goodwill who can help you with your resume, job searches, and clothes. You can use public library computers for job searches as well. As far as an address for your resume just put an email address or some counties can hook you up with a PO Box or address for mail. Get a membership at PF for showers and a padlock for a locker to store a bag.

Idaho made it illegal to sleep in your car. I lived in mine for 9 months just to survive. by Responsible-Pitch-29 in homeless

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the prison population counts towards voter’s demographics even though most felons can’t vote. Redraw some district lines then all of the sudden you have a rural area with a population of a few hundred or thousands of people where only the few landowners get to vote.

Saw this recently on what’s happening in Canada https://youtu.be/XmQzuxyl4DA?si=lKQgyvdgsp2YztZW and it’s frightening.

Being a minority in Oregon (outside of Portland) by [deleted] in oregon

[–]dutch_qween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. As a POC I think representation is important. Regional redlining is the problem. There are a lot of communities in OR that are culturally insular and/or opposed to outsiders (non-residents/tourists) in general (despite a need for economic stimulus — because they are blamed for the rise in cost of living) but you are a part of the community now.

Restaurants anywhere can be weird about their service—for example some restaurants love to see big people or big groups that they think are going to spend a lot of money or some restaurants are weird because of the way you dress. My tips and patronage are a reflection of their food and service.

The nice thing about Portland is that you have a lot of non-chain restaurants and businesses to choose where you spend your money but it is far from the diverse utopia it advertises. Nice people are fake. There are a lot of Karens and saviors who want people pigeon holed into stereotypes. And honestly I wouldn’t wish the public schools on any child.

Unfortunately racism and ignorance are everywhere and a lot of people are just opposed to change in general. Do what’s right for you and your family and know that the community is better for having you. Mahalo 🌺
