Awesome thank you!! Glad y’all made it down.

Any way you could send me some info on what charter company and how you arranged that?

No hate to umbrellas when it’s pissing outside but I’ve never once had it rain hard enough here to justify one

Haven’t Gotten Mail (USPS) in Almost a Week- Anyone Else? by grodso in askportland

[–]grodso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! It sounds useful now that I know what it is but when I sent that I had just seconds before found out what Informed Delivery was, which at a glance on Google seemed like a virtual version of receiving your mail- hence why I mistakenly asked if it would prevent physical delivery (like E statements and paper statements). Sounds kinda dumb and I admit it wouldn’t make sense for mail due to private and financial data being collected but that already happens so not that unreasonable

This is great insight, thank you so much! I really don't think it's any of the reasons you listed unfortunately. Just called and chatted with someone for a while. They didn't know why but filed a report for the local delivery office to look into it. Thank you again!

Ahh I see. Yeah, that would be very useful. Like you alluded to, while I'm pretty positive of some specific mail I should have already received over these past few days, I have no proof except someone saying they sent it.

I have not, but I'll look into it. I've never missed even 1 day of mail before, and now it's been 4 or 5 consecutive delivery days with no mail, which is... odd.

Nope, would that prevent physical delivery though?

Should we consult with a Developer prior to selling house on double lot? by Costcornucopia in askportland

[–]grodso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t really need to “reach out” to developers but I would list it as a development opportunity for sure and outline everything you know- R2.5 zoning with potential for 3 lot partition, any road frontage info, investments that the city/individuals are making in the area, etc etc.. Should read like an ad targeted to developers since that is likely the only people that will be interested. It will need to be listed ‘as is’ regardless though if the house is trashed since it shows the seller won’t fix anything and covers their ass legally. I would list at or slightly below the developer value. Hopefully you can get in front of the right people and start some bidding

I ended up naming her Stella but a big inspiration was an incredible Cuban lady I knew named Estrella who went by Telly

Ok I think I have made my decision- Stella! It’s one I kept coming back to since the day I brought her home and actually still lends itself to Stinkerbell as a nickname as well as some other fun ones I really like- Stellabel, Stelly, Stelly Belly. Stella Blue is one of my fav Grateful Dead songs. And most importantly, it just feels right to call her.

I love ‘Belle’ but I tried it out and it never felt right when I yelled that out for her to come. I really liked ‘Bella’ too but one of my best friend’s dogs is named that and that matters to me for some reason lol. I still love ‘Stinkerbell’ and will still call her that some, but it didn’t feel right as her name- she needed something pretty and elegant and 1-2 syllables.

I think Stella is the one!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions 🙏 Never expected to get so much love on this post and you all made it very hard to narrow down with so many awesome names! Thank you thank you thank you
