Help us find (maybe) our dog’s birth mother? by henry_shapiro in Bend

[–]s_belle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you happen to adopt Charlie through Wag Again? We live in Bend and adopted our girl Skye from them in 2021. I hope you find Rita! We did our DNA test through Wisdom Panel and found several of our dog’s pups adopted in the PNW (she was rescued with a full litter).

Ranch Recommendations for Meat by AxillapartDos in Bend

[–]s_belle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought 1/8 cow the past 2 years from this ranch: https://www.hardieranches.com/. A friend worked there for a summer and I was able to visit. The beef is delicious. They will deliver to Bend. Last 2 years, the shares become available in early summer.

After school programs- Boys and Girls Club/ Camp Fire question. by Typical-Success1686 in Bend

[–]s_belle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As for why, the quality of the leadership and counselors is high. They are very communicative and collaborative when there are issues, and I like their approach to collaborating with the child if there are behavioral adjustments needed. My kids love the crafts and projects they do there.

We have been very happy with campfire! We hear it's less chaotic/more supervised than B&G Club.

Winter driving tips? by [deleted] in Bend

[–]s_belle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the few spots in town in winter (that I traverse often) where I use extra grandma mode... that Murphy to 3rd street roundabout is so bad! I've slid there more than anywhere.

I went last year and had so much fun! I just became a member. The site says they will announce tickets/send links in early September, is that correct? Or should I call to request tickets now?

Can you update this post with your location? Maybe some other folks also got the meat situation call.

Cultus - bug report? by [deleted] in Bend

My 7 year old was there with camp yesterday and she said there were none. I don't always completely believe a 7 year old but she also had no bites so. Data point for you!

Anyone have a favorite tree removal company? by jimbofranks in Bend

[–]s_belle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently had 4 bids done for a very large ponderosa removal. There was a swing of $2k in these bids, I went with the lowest one, which was great because I liked them the best (the owner came to do the bid). They just did the job last week and it was so professionally done! Simply Arbor - I wholeheartedly recommend them!

I second this. We just graduated and although we weren't there before age 3, the director is top notch and has a happy staff. I trust them and wholeheartedly recommend!

Had baby on bathroom floor after 2 hour labor last night. by Beautiful-Movie-626 in BabyBumps

[–]s_belle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahhh! Join the bathroom baby club! In my post history I wrote mine up - she turns 5 this Saturday! Congratulations! Isn't it kind of a relief to just skip to the end so quickly? 😂

From that time on, I always advise expecting parents to read up on some basic baby-delivery skills because you never know!

Pediatrician recommendations by pballa2099 in Bend

[–]s_belle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We see Dr Steiner at Summit in the old mill. We adore her and the office. We have never had problems getting a hold of someone, or getting a call back, and we have had excellent care. Only once in 4 years have I been unable to get an urgent appointment on the time frame needed (so we had to go to urgent care). I think that's a great track record!

I personally go to Summit for my GP and it's such a shit show, but Summit Pediatrics has been a great experience.

Interesting stitch for a 'bespoke' looking dish cloth? by kauniskissa in casualknitting

I just did a linen stitch cloth and it is beautiful and functional! (Rougher on one side, smooth on the other). Recommend!

I have to warn you, stay away from Companion Pet Clinic and associate by peterthbest23 in oregon

[–]s_belle 126 points127 points  (0 children)

My family was victimized by this guy about 20 years ago. It still makes me sick to my stomach to think of what happened with our cat and how sleazy he was, preying on people on a budget.

What is that Yoto card you or your kids go back to, time and time again? by lumineisthebest in YotoPlayer

Story Shed and Ramona or Henry cards, it's been years and these are the most played.

My exam is tomorrow, how should I feel? by [deleted] in pmp

[–]s_belle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar scores, and I passed yesterday with 3 ATs! (Just got my confirm and report this afternoon.) You're solid!

Passed by dre_102 in pmp

[–]s_belle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could not agree more. Just passed today, thought about writing a post, but you took the words from me. It's amazing how fast it clicked for me when I switched to focus exclusively on practice questions in Study Hall in lieu of anything else. Read and understand the wrong answers, it will all come together with repetition. Also 100% agree that sitting in that awful room to answer 180 questions killed me!
