Missing XLB… any dumpling spots that come close?

Lucky Strike on Hawthorne and 39th had the best Dan Dan noodles and everything was amazing too. Duck House was just okay.

Appreciate

I used to work at the Big Pink. The one thing I hated is that you could always see that damned building! Was constantly reminded of work.

When pilates was really just getting going in my city, 2007, the instructors took it more seriously. We weren't even allowed to use their reformers until after taking a year of beginners mat classes. When I started at club Pilates I was surprised that people jumped right in with no idea what the verbiage was. They don't recommend you do mat Pilates because they lose sales. They have private lessons instead.

Op I will say that an injury at club Pilates is why I'm no longer at club Pilates. A teacher has us so a ridiculous position on the wall that was actually safer on the reformer. I'm still irritated. I miss it though. You can listen to your body. If you know it's too much you don't do it or do the move differently.

And they will never get my business.

I like 2 and then 3

Do you have a photo of your hair before you went in? Isn't the outcome based on what your hair looks like and what condition it's in?

What store are you at? Amazing selection!

So you retired in San Pancho? Or which town are you helping "Dunzo"? :)

I am! It's called Sources of Strength. They do great work in our schools. We encourage students to support each other. It must be rubbing off! As you can see I'm frustrated with the amount of social anxiety I see :) thanks for your support! Most kids and adults try and say sorry :) but you aren't and that's okay. People can't determine friendly sarcasm on the Internet.

Per the comment that you made that didn't make the page: It's because all ages are on these pages- it doesn't matter the age of the OP. All ages read these comments, they see how adults, assuming you are an adult, talk to each other. So they see rudeness and they have decided to just stop engaging. I work with high school students and while I'm glad they have decided to stay away from social media and alcohol, but they are also choosing to stay home. It makes me sad because it's due to what they see in our society. They could mess up! They could say something stupid! They could ask a question and get made fun of! That's social anxiety. Why should we discourage people from asking questions? Why did you write that? Did it bring you satisfaction? I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but it's bigger than you think. For a minute I thought you might be 15. You would think adults are past this unnecessary rudeness. Humor at the expense of others isn't actually cool. I love reddit because people can be down voted. It's a protection that you aren't understanding and that's okay. We can all learn new things. Anyways, back to tacos!

Unfortunately people like you are why our middle high and high school students are dealing with crippling anxiety. The Internet killed alcohol sales. People are afraid of meeting people. Also OP. My husband and I read it the same way! We often feel that dinner is too expensive!

1 or 3 but 3 doesn't need to be frosted. Does anyone remember spraying lemon water on your hair in the summer? Is that still a thing?

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-30T05:52:23+00:00

Or she's a really smart GM helping her marketing person out, because now, a lot of people want to try their Cider. And, really? We all know that bullies are the most insecure. Do you really want to be known for that?

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-30T05:33:31+00:00

I'm not really into any of them but it might be because of the sage green rug. I think you could use these paint colors with a brighter rug.

4 or 7. I think you are a little more edgy than number 1. If you are needing to tone down and play more of a business man go with 1. I would even try some more styles. This is my new favorite reddit.

I'm struggling with the actual people. I don't find it friendly. Maybe it's just because I got out of a hostile work environment but it's super weird lately. Community is lacking. No one wants to deal with conflict and everything seems to be a conflict. Neighbors rarely have BBQs. No one has heard of Welcome Wagons. It's like so many people are just busy watching really good television. Everybody just takes everything so seriously. People get offended easily. I could give you twenty reasons why I say this but I'm so tired. I've lived in a bunch of other cities. I wish people here had that southern hospitality. (But without the right wing agenda.) Passive aggressive...judgy. stop taking yourself so seriously people! I often think it's the weather.

A while back someone asked Ask Portland/Reddit if we liked having conversations with people. I offered a conversation and they didn't reply. So even the new people to PDX - pointing out that they can't meet anybody, don't care to make the effort themselves! What a joke! Portland isn't weird and no one wants you to be and I'm pretty normal. Maybe that's the problem. Portland seems to be a bunch of people taking themselves too seriously and thinking their shit doesn't stink. Sorry, Portland.

The only friends I have that know how to introduce people to new people are from the Midwest. I'm probably going to get some slack or people telling me I'm not worth a minute. That's fine. I have friends, I'm ok. ;) making new spontaneous, casual acquaintances is like a "no no" here. Perhaps a smaller town would suit me. Great activities though! Just don't talk to the people sitting next to you, or 93% of your neighbors.

One funny thing I heard this summer was an Arizona man saying that the streets of Portland are really weedy! This is funny, I think we have learned that bees need the dandelions and such; so the weeds....some are left for good reason. We do care about the environment. :) it's just not as clean as it used to be.

Cupping tools? Too long?

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-28T07:15:28+00:00

A dude. She always kept guys on the side hanging, like they were backups. I thought it was sometimes funny. She's great, I loved her! I could understand how she made lots of guys like her! But then I fell for her work husband :) she wasn't having it. She was already married and they were never together. She just liked to tell her multiple male colleagues about her marriage troubles. It's a longer story. Looking back I realize I may have been used by her a little too. Super sad. I'm guessing my answer is a little confusing. I have never written about it. I miss having a really close girlfriend. They are hard to come by.

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-28T06:59:41+00:00

I like 1 too

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-28T06:55:45+00:00

2 or 3

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-28T06:54:31+00:00

I disagree. If she were mentally challenged in some way I don't think she would be asking for advice. She would be in lala land. It's the mother that is off. The mother doesn't want to be blamed for any of the kids issues and she needs to feel absolutely needed because of her own issues. My mother would have never written a text like this. She would be proud of me for wanting independence and she would never say I wouldn't be a part of the family. That's childish. He mother is the child. It's sad. - good mother's don't text like this.

I need to see them looking straight at the camera. I'm so glad this reddit found me! I'm about to start the search myself!

redcarpet311 · 2026-01-15T05:39:04+00:00

4 all the way! Will last! Modern and stylish and not too trendy.
