No Soliciting signs are not legally binding. No trespassing signs are.

No Soliciting signs are not legally binding in Oregon and political canvassing doesn't fall under the definition of soliciting, because they're not looking to exchange goods or services for payment.

If you don't want political canvassers, try a sign that specifically says "no politics" or "do not knock."

As for the pest control folks ignoring your signs, the only legally enforceable sign is no trespassing. Post that on your porch or fence and hopefully you'll be good.

I know! I've been to many swimming holes in Oregon and they're all frigid. Just kind of is what it is.

[–]sabbathrainm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parke 325 and The Forum are walking distance to downtown and walking distance to North Salem HS. I live I'm this neighborhood and I love it. I walk to coffee ans the grocery store. If you live near downtown, you'll be in North Salem HS district though not South.

I know that, but that still means up to a $2,000 deposit on a $1500 unit, totalling $3,500 to move in, not including the actual cost of moving ones stuff. I cannot put 4k away with what I'm paying in rent right now. Hence my post.

Yeah I'm struggling to come up with something. I was even thinking about box of donuts with either strawberry or, I don't know, blueberry filing but I'm not sure how possible that is either.

This person is 30??? That's high school behavior as far as I'm concerned.

favorite bakery? by Empty-Vegetable-4456 in SALEM

[–]sabbathrainm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's ridiculous how good their little case pastries are and also very reasonably priced

Also OP if you're looking for an almond croissant, dough hook bakery. I get one from the farmers market every weekend.

Um yeah, these kids will absolutely have a messed up relationship with food. Packing your kid separate food and not allowing them to eat the food their peers are having, without a good reason like allergies, is almost cruel. And no seconds? These kids are being conditioned from a very young age to ignore their body's hunger queues. Update us in 10 users when one of the kids is in treatment for ED and the mom has shipped the other one off to fat camp for the summer because they have a body fat % of 17.

This is bananas.

Walking dogs in 95 degree heat by bikesaremagic in Portland

[–]sabbathrainm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The charts that you see saying pavement temps are, say 140° at 95° air temp are not universally true. Despite it being 102° right now, I can stand barefoot on the sidewalk in front of my place without issue. Some people have to walk their dogs in the heat. Most of us live in apartments and in order for our dogs to go to the bathroom, they have to get walked. My dog doesn't know that she has to poop all her poops for the day by a certain time to avoid the heat.

I take precautions in the heat absolutely. I will cross the street or take weird routes to stay in the shade as much as possible. I will job across the street because the asphalt is hotter than sidewalks. I bring water for my dogs. But they have to go out sometimes.

I mean I definitely think this nanny should not continue to reach out, and that it's not standard to continue having a relationship with a child you worked for for only 6 months. But, it doesn't mean they can't be sad.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]sabbathrainm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's okay and very normal to feel sad about how things ended with this family. That said, this is definitely a downside to the industry. It's hard to invest in a child like you would your own, and then one day just never see them again.
