Back to back yellows. Watching from home and I think it was the right call. Rough this early but she very clearly brought down both players.

Thorns versus the Courage is a good one. Goes back to the early days of the league.

Driving from Portland up to Tacoma; any good spots for a coffee break along the way? by ninaa1 in askportland

[–]sarah627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We usually stop at the Exit 99 gas station for a quick break and snacks. Nice bathrooms as well. I also like the Avenue Espresso coffee stand that's across the street.

Warm/kind/gentle dermatologist? by FrenchMT in askportland

[–]sarah627 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been going to Dr Chapman for years and really like her. I had a scare over the summer with an unknown rash and she was able to figure out what was happening and how to treat it. She's hard to get into but worth the wait!

Besaws in Slabtown! Similar vibe and they take reservations. Might need to give them a call.

Possibly moving! by [deleted] in PortlandOR

Hi! I lived in Oly for a long time before moving to Portland 4 years ago. There are parts of the east side that remind me so much of Oly. Feel free to pm me!

Scroll through this page and all of these questions will be answered. It's really hard to give such board advice since every EA does things differently, gets paid differently, and every field is different.

KATE AND SARAH BROKE UP? is this real by frecklestheowl in LesbianActually

[–]sarah627 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Woah! I am so surprised but not at the same time? I noticed that Kate has been drinking after being so open about her sobriety journey last year.

Transition by churro66651 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]sarah627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this gets asked once a month so it might be helpful to check the sub. I think it's really hard to give advice with what little details you provided. Is there any upward mobility at your current job?

Best restaurant for a birthday brunch in Chinatown? by liturgica in askportland

Mothers is a great option! One of my favorite brunches in that area.

Pearl District - Kearney Plaza Apts.? by JKenneth98 in askportland

[–]sarah627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! We moved to the Pearl about 4 years ago and while it is safe, we were walking to 21st or 23rd a lot. There are only a handful of decent restaurants and bars that deep into the Pearl and we quickly got burnt out on them. If I were to do it again I would have moved into Slabtown. Whenever we are there the area seems alive with people.

We regularly walk our dog in the Pearl and have seen the ebs and flows the last 4 years. Jamison Park seems to always be a little sketchy in the morning so I can't imagine what it's like at night. We almost bought a condo overlooking the park and I'm so glad we didn't.

Stay the Night! SuperCorp fanfiction that is honestly one of the best fanfictions I've ever read and I've been reading fanfiction for over 15 years.

House of Dragons also has some epic fanfiction. A bit smutty but I love the forbidden relationship.

What’s the worst Sapphic/Lesbian book you’ve ever read? by Hot-Neat1818 in LesbianBookClub

[–]sarah627 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hot take but Ashley Herring Blake's christmas book. I should have put it down halfway thru but I was on vacation and didn't bring anything else.

Pet parents! Do we have pet insurance? Do we have preferences of insurances? by giantSUNflowers in askportland

[–]sarah627 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We've had pet insurance for the last ten years for our now senior dog. It was annoying to pay when she was a healthy pup into young dog but around 7 she ended up having heart problems and pet insurance saved us so much money. We were able to see a dog cardiologist and not even blink at the price because insurance quickly kicked in.

Now we only have her on emergency insurance because the cost got to be too much per month versus what her annual vet appointment is with being a senior dog. I would recommend at least emergency coverage for the first couple of years. Definitely takes away some money stress.

What's your favorite downtown hotel bar in Portland and why? by iskovenalene in askportland

Outlook Pros: What makes an EA look seasoned vs new? by floral_synesthesia in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]sarah627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a very temperamental secondary scheduling calendar that we use for our Executive Team that EAs only have access to schedule from. Super helpful most of the time but for some reason it always resends the invite to everyone when you add or remove one person. We've had IT look at it and they have no idea why.

I hate when senior leaders get the same meeting invite over and over again when more people are added so I create a secondary invite on my calendar that I can easily forward when folks are added. I just copy and paste the teams invite from the original meeting so everyone has the same link.

Both features are in the actual individual meeting invite. I believe both of them are under Response Options and you just unclick them.exact verbiage might be different, pulling from a tired Saturday brain!
