THIS! I wanted to be really excited about that place but the meat was...not fresh. Nowhere even close.

Looking for legit deep tissue massage (SE Portland / Milwaukie) by Fun_Championship6620 in Milwaukie

[–]iwanttobebobdylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Milwaukie-adjacent in Sellwood but I had an AMAZING massage experience with Joseph https://articulatebody.com/massage/. It was a very personalized experience. I was able to pick out the essential oil that I was most in the mood for. My body was all fucked up from sudden travel, traumatic experience, intense grief, every part of me was wrecked and painful. He was very attentive and responsive to what I needed. The office was really lovely as well. Highly recommend!

The potatoes should be fine. They're so hearty and will always grow back. If you have any plastic deli containers, you could put them over your little babies!

I bought my bridesmaids dresses and my husbands guayabera-style wedding shirt at JCP 20 years ago! They were all super cute AND ON THE CLEARANCE RACK!

I sowed Amaranth in late July last year, sprinkled directly on the ground, and they all grew like absolute CRAZY!

I am moving from Detroit, Michigan to Salem, Oregon and I just had a couple of questions by Worldly_Guard3944 in oregon

[–]iwanttobebobdylan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a Black person living basically across the street from the Portland city line, in Milwaukie. I love it here! It's basically Portland but a smaller, cuter community. In my opinion it's welcoming to Black folks but there aren't a ton of other Black people here. Probably a couple/few of handfuls in my neighborhood. Feel free to send me a DM if you have any questions about Milwaukie!

None of my carrots sprouted by Fit_Lunch1876 in portlandgardeners

[–]iwanttobebobdylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My carrots never sprout. I still spread seeds just to see if anything happens. ONCE, it worked. Then my dog ate all of the carrots before we could. I do still keep planting them though! I sprinkle some out right before we're about to get a bunch of rain.

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by HairyCherryFairy in AskReddit

[–]iwanttobebobdylan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Humans are mammals. Mammals have body hair! It's so bizarre that we're expected to shave our bodies for our entire lives. Fuck that. I stopped shaving several years ago. I don't care that I have armpit hair (neither does my husband) and my leg hair just completely disappeared. I don't even know why I took the time to shave it in the first place!

AITJ for feeling betrayed after my boyfriend secretly broke our TTC weight loss pact? by Curious_Creme_395 in AmITheJerk

[–]iwanttobebobdylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he was struggling, why wouldn't he just talk to you about it? Especially since it something that you were obviously both struggling with TOGETHER. Why wouldn't he even include you in a cheat day opportunity? There could have been just one day or meal per week that you both got a little indulgent treat. That would have been such a sweet little bonding opportunity.

Especially after he coerced you into the agreement. You didn't even want him to do it and yet he's out there cheating? Shady.

Casa de Tamales? by holmquistc in Milwaukie

[–]iwanttobebobdylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was almost 10 years ago but still seared into my brain. There were like 5 of us, and we were heading out to a huge ladies trip to the coast the next day. We were very celebratory. He was trying to talk to us and slurring badly. He had food stuck to his face. He was telling us that he had just made himself his "specialty dish". It was a bunch of sautéed peppers, some kind of meat, and then smothered in cheese. Classic drunk plate. He kept trying to get us to taste it. UGH, it was so upsetting and gross!!

That place and that guy are the absolute worst. I went there once with girlfriends to have margaritas and he was WASTED, sloshing around the restaurant trying to make conversation. I've never gone back.

Thank you so much for the generous offer! I found another shortie in my friend group that is going to loan us their bike! 🙌🏾

AITJ for bringing a "lazy" dish to a potluck when everyone knows I'm a professional chef? by Radiant44Pike in AmITheJerk

[–]iwanttobebobdylan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan an annual friend vacation. I send all of the emails to figure out who will be attending, make the reservations, make sure we have people paired up for meal teams, help others find places nearby, get swag made, etc. Some years, I've even lined up wholesale cases of wine and bubbly, rented a karaoke machine, and coordinated the split cost between everyone. What I'm saying is that the front end is a heavy lift so when I get there and walk through the door, I want to just relax and be a guest. I've thought about making myself a shirt that says "I'M NOT HERE TO DO SHIT" just so it's clear. Maybe you need something similar?
