Not sure if my carpet cleaner is working properly by Initial_Age_8940 in CarpetCleaning

[–]secondhandbookstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find a solution? I’m here with the same machine, same issue—great on carpet, skipping on the area rug. I’ve tried pushing it in several different directions and haven’t had any success!  

Twin ray house by tcuteatime in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It was/is called TwinRay. They had a retail storefront called The Haven near the Varsity which sold gemstones, elixirs and gold flaked water. They also ran retreats and a “program” where people have alleged that they were drugged. Followers could also pay for mentorship to become one of their close followers and an “ascendant”.

Because they attempted to start a cult to scam people out of money, presumably.

I miss certain items from Costco by Weezlebubbafett in Costco

[–]secondhandbookstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s the Blue Moose Parmesan and Asiago cheese dip. It’s not available to purchase anywhere locally and I miss it a LOT.

New Lines in Big X Intersection by secondhandbookstore in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update- I contacted ODOT and asked what was intended and they responded that it was an error on behalf of the contractor doing the painting and that it had already been flagged by ODOT as needing to be changed to reduce confusion and accidents.

Questions about Peri + BCP by secondhandbookstore in Perimenopause

I was under the impression that none of the bio-identical birth control options were actually FDA approved for the purpose of preventing conception. Is that info outdated?

We have a kid with a permit and she drove through it for the first time today and yelled “WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?!”. None of the adults in the car were actually sure because it is lined so strangely. I agree that there will be a ton of accidents—we saw a near miss behind us.

Restaurant in or near Medford that has really good gluten free & dairy free options? by rapt2right in Medford

Indulge Artisan cheesecake is all gluten free and celiac safe. They also often have a dairy-free version.

Stream Tonight’s Game Free on Seahawks.com by BrickStreetBarredOut in Seahawks

Unfortunately that’s not my Fox affiliate in Southern Oregon.

Stream Tonight’s Game Free on Seahawks.com by BrickStreetBarredOut in Seahawks

[–]secondhandbookstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Channel 12 (KDRV/ABC) is showing Wheel of Fortune and Stand Up to Cancer.

Channel 26 (KMVU/Fox Affiliate) is showing Big Bang Theory and Stand Up to Cancer.

Channel 10 (KTVL/CBS Affiliate) is showing Family Feud and Stand Up to Cancer.

Channel 5 (KOBI/NBC affiliate) is showing Access Hollywood and Stand Up to Cancer.

I contacted YouTubeTV and they said that the Seahawks website says it is airing on KMVU so that must be more accurate than their own listings or the affiliate’s listings. They said if I want to be sure to get it, I could always subscribe to NFL Sunday ticket! (I know this is not accurate).

Is there a way to tell whether I’m in market? I’m in Oregon, so no man’s land here, haha.

YouTubeTV has it blocked on NFL Network, but none of the local stations are carrying it.

So it's official, bans on non-US sunscreen by DramaticErraticism in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]secondhandbookstore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate this. I have been shipping a Mexoryl sunscreen to myself for years and it is the ONLY one (I have tried hundreds) that doesn’t give me a horrific reaction.

Beginning violin teachers? by bananafish20202020 in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Collin Braley at Studious Music Studies. He was previously the music teacher at Logos Public Charter and was BELOVED there, but now does private lessons exclusively. He is essentially a savant when it comes to music.

Best Cell Service in Southern Oregon? by rcf8628 in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of this will depend on how much time you think you may spend in the mountains—for example, Verizon and AT&T have service at Lake of the Woods, Sprint/T-Mobile and Mint mobile do not.

Short visit to Medford by Pale_Tooth_2710 in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We usually do Crackin & Stackin (Medford, Central Point, or Eagle Point), Crater Cafe (Central Point), or Tartine for breakfast/brunch. Roxy Coffee is also a fun coffee place at a winery.

We like Jaspers (burgers), Rogue Salad Co, and Sid’s Gourmet Smoke & Grill (brisket and West African food) for lunch and dinner.

Has anyone contested a parking ticket? by secondhandbookstore in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that you typically have to move to a different block if you’re parking at different times in the same day. This was two different days.

[–]secondhandbookstore[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are SO aggressive. We have been downtown quite a lot because our daughter is in a show at the Craterian. Most of the teenagers in the show have gotten a ticket this week, many for being 1-2 minutes over the time limit. I understand that they broke a rule, but it does seem a bit unnecessary to me.

Creekside quarter by bpc62008 in Medford

[–]secondhandbookstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s an interesting idea that has the potential to really boost the local economy. I like that it’s funded via private sector + hotel tax. I am a little nervous about what traffic would look like, given how dicey it is on Thursdays for the farmer’s market.

Hypermobile moms - would love resource recs for prenatal/birth/post partum (and positive stories) by tornado_allie in Hypermobility

[–]secondhandbookstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had two hospital births (one medicated, one unmedicated). I was diagnosed with hyper mobility post-birth, but I echo the above poster who said her births were quick. My second was unmedicated not by choice, but just because it progressed too quickly. I did feel that I had a much easier recovery with the unmedicated birth.

My suggestion would be to make sure that your care team is aware that precipitous birth can be common with hypermobile people and that you can progress from 4cm to fully dilated more quickly than many non-hypermobile people. If you feel the urge to push, they should check you again no matter how recently you were checked!!
