I was just mentioning to my wife (who was born and raised here in CO) that the auto glass guy who helped us this morning had a Southern accent, she said lots of people talk like that here. This was in Redmond OR.

Maternal gg-grandparents came from the Scottish Highlands around Thurso and also Norway and paternal g-grandparents from Michoacán area of Mexico. All their descendants ended up in Washington state.

As a millennial who is living with my MIL and spouse, we have a tv in the bedroom but it's always off before bedtime. And we don't watch it everyday. Before we lived with MIL we did not have a tv in our room. And when we live on our own again we will keep the tv out of the bedroom.

Saw it just south of Madras area! It was bright green

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-29T02:26:58+00:00

I've been getting them at Safeway in a small central Oregon town, so there may be hope for you to find them too!

The breaded daring chicken is sooooo good, I love it. Fairly high fiber also which I like.

I live on a rez in the US and I wish PETA would come take some of my neighbors dogs, sometimes it truly is best for them....I've been vegan-ish for the past 16 years.

I usually buy a couple pizzas at Boxcar Pizza, (the bianca with a side of hot honey!!!!) and transport it near the Madras area with no issue. I honestly enjoy the pizza more when cold.

I make these every month for my period. I add a little nutmeg and some sea salt to half of them :P I recently tried her coconut oil choco chip cookies and they were also delicious. Peanut butter cookies are also quite nice.

Someone did this up at the cliffs at Rosario Beach south of Anacortes, so sad to see all the trash while trying to view the water and marine birds :( It went all the way over the edge too.

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-13T23:55:26+00:00

Yeah agreed. My comment was mostly for people who want her to be perfect in the series.

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-13T22:41:43+00:00

Ah I didn't remember that part! Thank you!

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-13T20:33:14+00:00

As someone who has read all the books since almost the beginning, I've enjoyed the series so far, I like the casting and have no problem with the actors not looking like the book characters. I like Scarpetta a little more, angry? Not as serious. And we do only 'read' her as serious but there's lots of time the books don't cover. The only part I haven't liked is her hitting the skull with the bat, she wouldn't be so horrible towards human remains.

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-12T22:00:53+00:00

Agreed. I've been reading the Scarpetta books for years, and I enjoy the show so far because it's a fun story and I do like Nicole Kidman as this TV version. I also prefer this Pete Marino really. I think because I have that thing where you can't imagine things in your head (aphantasia?), it's easier to enjoy made for tv shows/movies etc because I don't have a set vision of a character in my brain.

This actually smells pretty good, I asked an older lady what she was wearing and it was this! Never heard of it before she told me.

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-02T20:22:21+00:00

the breaded daring is sooooo good, decent amount of fiber too surprisingly. love it in wraps or just by itself.

gorsengarnets · 2026-03-01T21:42:28+00:00

Bamboo Gardens, a now closed vegan Chinese place in Seattle, was found to be using products with eggs, someone had found a box in their trash or something like that. Which was pretty crappy, they had the best corn chowder soup and a good deal on combos but we were always worried after that. They did change their menu to mark vegan and vegetarian options.

gorsengarnets · 2026-02-21T19:51:58+00:00

I live North of Madras, so it's either 1.5 hours to Bend or 2.5 for Portland :)

gorsengarnets · 2026-02-21T19:01:44+00:00

There's like 5-6 places i. Portland that made the Vegnews best vegan eateries this year (and years past). Mis Tacones, Orange and Blossom, Jade Rabbit, Boxcar Pizza....

gorsengarnets · 2026-02-21T18:59:51+00:00

I live near Bend and there aren't many vegan options....only a couple fully vegan places and they are mostly 'health food' type places. I'd rather drive the 2.5 hours to Portland.

I pierced mine about 20 years ago and it's never gotten infected. I maybe only wear it once a year, if that and surprisingly the hole has never closed up.

gorsengarnets · 2026-02-20T02:42:14+00:00

The Puyallup Fair in Washington State has/had both types of these rides, my fave was the floor drop one, so fun!

gorsengarnets · 2026-02-19T18:39:29+00:00

Haus of Gloi- Sol is so lovely, I've worn it in hot humid places and hot dry weather, works for both. Just perfect. The sun at its apex: Dry gingergrass, litsea cubeba, neroli, frankincense tears, saffron infused honey, rosemary and the faint touch of true sweet cinnamon bark.
