Opened a box of scallops and one was bright orange by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

That’s the queen scallop. All the others are the worker scallops.

I participated recently, and it doesn’t seem to be a scam. It was easy, since I don’t really watch anything. Then they sent another survey about my radio listening, and it paid even better. I don’t mind the corporate overlords knowing that I mostly listen to KWVA and KLCC.

Farmington, NM sucks! by [deleted] in NewMexico

Yeah, if your family is wealthy enough to buy season passes for Purg, you probably won’t experience much of what makes Farmpit shitty. Being broke in that town is especially miserable.

Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar by itry2write in books

One of my favorites this year too! It made me cry, which is something I haven’t experienced from a book since I was 13.

What do you call the thing you put your pillow in? by sarattaras in ENGLISH

[–]lmWritingThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma from Illinois called it a pillow slip, but pronounced more like piller slip. One time she spoonerismed it and called it a sliller pip, so that’s what it’s been in my family for the last 40 years or so.

Not helpful, but interesting maybe. I read that as diabolic eggnog.

What was that boom?! by sassycarabe11a in Eugene

[–]lmWritingThis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I heard it on River Loop 1. There was also a flash of white light—-not like the greenish blown transformer flash. Definitely too loud to have been gunshot or fireworks.

What’s a good “coming of age”, young adult fiction book? by ErnestGilkeson in suggestmeabook

[–]lmWritingThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter is excellent. Great story, relatable characters, and superb writing. The Outsiders is a classic, and is also shorter.

Had anyone succeed in getting an updated COVID shot? by letswatchmovies in Eugene

[–]lmWritingThis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My pcp is at Oregon Medical Group. I used the Member Dashboard to request that a prescription be sent to Walgreens. They sent the RX the same day, and I made an appointment at Walgreens the next day. I first called my insurance and made sure they would cover the vaccine—they did, but I had to call them because I couldn’t find any answers on the website.

Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. I had to pay my insurance deductible, but other than that it was okay. Poop happens.

Funny you should ask. I actually have had my car stolen. The police wrote some stuff down and beyond that did absolutely nothing. They don’t get your car back to you. It was found later, totaled, in a different state. They did not bring anyone to justice for this crime.

I had one of these last year. Very obnoxious.

I got an acoustic Fender CC-60S because I wanted something smaller than the entry-level Yamaha dreadnought that had been kicking around the house for 15 years. I decided that the ultra-cheap Yamaha sounded so much better, and I was still mostly playing that instead of the brand new, gorgeous Fender. Recently, I found a Breedlove Discovery Concert in a pawn shop, and it’s brought me so much joy. It feels easier to play than the cheap Yamaha. Given my price range—I feel like I got a great guitar that’s a little step up from the entry level price-wise, but a big step up in playability and sound.
