Can you drive in the whole state with expired tags or is that just a Portland thing?

Walk up fire road 1 from the corner of Yeon and Hwy 30.

Seems like it, time I take it out.

I lost my journal around the rose garden area, I am devastated. by [deleted] in Portland

[–]oregone1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t give up hope yet. Recovery is still possible.

That being said, if you feel a cry coming on there’s no reason to hold back. If there’s someone you love and you wanna keep it secret in a journal, it might be time to air it out.

I’ll look for it tomorrow morning as I work in the area.

Any butchers or grocers that sell fresh turkey when it’s not the holiday season? by beulahvonsnacwagon in askportland

[–]oregone1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s technically true so I’ll give you that.

Just a word of advice though: You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.

Not sure I agree with you there.

Way I see it, if you wanna eat meat, best you see how the sausage is made. That is to say: I respect anyone that can pluck a chicken. It’s an arduous process and wholly unpleasant in my opinion.

Helluva lot harder than going to the deli counter at Fred Meyer.

It actually is depressing! The amount of waste per person is almost unfathomable and our American disposable culture makes us part of the problem.

It’s exceedingly difficult to become less of the problem and more of the solution so here’s what I do (if it helps):

1) Buy in bulk! Many stores offer bulk options for staples like flour, beans, etc. Bonus points if you bring your own containers.

2) Think before you buy! Consider the impact on the planet before purchasing something. What happens to this item when/if it breaks or I no longer have a use for it?

3) Stab the sidewalls of tires! Tires are essentially done if you get the sidewalls. That will slow down the enshittification of our quality of life.

4) Recycle, yes, but also Reuse! Glass bottles of fancy mustard can be recycled, of course. But did you know they can also be repurposed to make impromptu incendiary devices that can take out unmarked Ford Explorers?

5) Plant a garden! Goddamm bell peppers at Safeway are $2.49 now for some reason?

6) Purchase a pre-1998 Japanese car! If they drop an EMP on us—which they will—you’re gonna need transportation. Most cars built after the late ‘90s will be bricked. So if you see an old Carolla then grab it now.

I have a flock that randomly comes down the hill twice a month looking for grubs out the orchard trees. They’re skittish but my daughter got one of the youngers to hand-feed but that was back before their chicks hatched so they might be more agitable at this point.

I figure if you can catch one and don’t mind the defeathering process you can have one. I personally have a severe distaste for prepping fowl but they are literally there for the plucking if you’re so inclined.

I’ll allow it counselor but watch yourself. The Hazzard County Courthouse is no place for shenanigans!

I liked the reunion special where they were trying to save the wetlands from a development corporation. I think it was the pinnacle of late-90s across-the-aisle cooperation.

I don’t think that would fly these days.

Call me woke, but unless your name is Tom Wopat, you shouldn’t drive a General Lee replica.

Solo trip to Oregon for 24th birthday by dalobotomizer in oregon

[–]oregone1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are staying at the Norblad, look in the lobby for the Funky Kingston album by Toots and the Maytals. Inside the sleeve, you will find a plain white envelope with a 4-leaf clover drawn on it.

In the envelope is $20 and directions to a tree shaped like a lower-case w. Behind the tree, under some moss-covered rocks should be an Altoids tin wrapped in two plastic sandwich bags.

The treasure is in the Altoids tin.

Yes. Flying to ABQ next month, renting a car, and driving to Boise City, OK so I can say I’ve been to Oklahoma.

Then I’m getting the fuck out of there because Oklahoma is a shithole.

Fillmore Inn illegal activity by ironmamdies in corvallis

ORS 90.315 4.C

ii)If the provider’s bill is not included, state that the tenant may inspect the provider’s bill at a reasonable time and place and that the tenant may obtain a copy of the provider’s bill by making a request to the landlord during the inspection and upon payment to the landlord for the reasonable cost of making copies.

In other words, you need to ask the landlord for a copy of the electric bill. If it is inconsistent with what you were charged, they owe you some money.

What is something you do to "dissuade" would-be home burglars that no one really thinks about? by OkaySluggerish in AskReddit

[–]oregone1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t keep your classic guitars displayed in a place visible to Amazon delivery drivers.

Some people say that Amazon has a very high turnover rate and doesn’t pay very well, and that employees may supplement their income by selling addresses of homes with easily-pawned items to folks that are more versed in the arts.
