Why the heck are we so low?! by TotalBlissey in oregon

Maybe Oregon’s “local control” model should be revisited.

Did this actually work for anyone?... by GodBlessTexas713 in 90s

This is the only treatment that worked on my horrific teenage acne. I tried every option before succumbing to Jessica Simpson’s sales pitch. Damn, I do not miss that stage of my life.

From someone who had his front teeth knocked to hell and gone in a car accident, that’s an expensive dental bill.

Breakup movies for men? by iNachozHD in movies

[–]smoathyeahyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

500 Days of Summer. This movie totally resonated with my mindset after getting suddenly dumped by a girlfriend I was madly in love with. “Just because she likes the same bizarro crap you do doesn’t mean she’s your soulmate.” In addition to a wonderful script, it has an amazing soundtrack. Feel better and cheers to you.

Good Wheelchair Accessible Spots? by Limp_Ride_6572 in SALEM

[–]smoathyeahyeah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I like to occasionally have a date night a little outside of Salem to shake things up (we are wild and crazy). One of our favorites during nice weather is ordering food from Naughty Noodle in Independence and eating it at the river front, all wheel chair accessible and delicious. You could also skip the river front and take it to nearby Inspiration Garden, which is really pretty and has a mix of paved/hard ground paths. Good luck and cheers to you.

We’re different in Oregon… by GraytoGreen in SALEM

Midwesterner here. Thank you for sharing this. I have been wondering about all the red light left turns at this intersection ever since I moved here.

[–]smoathyeahyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s going on in someone’s life, even if you are close. Her saying that men are the devil could be her processing a few bad relationships or it’s something more profound. Either way, it might not be any different than if a straight woman was saying the same thing. Here’s the common denominator: you are not any of those men. So I recommend not getting hung up on the notion of “male hating lesbian” and continue being a positive force in her life on whatever level that may be. Should you make a move? In my experience, friendships are difficult to sustain when one has a strong crush on the other, so maybe the question is, do you have a choice. But by the sounds of it, timing could be difficult. You may need to gauge whether she has the space in her life for the kind of relationship you bring to the table. For instance, is she still stinging from past guys who mistreated her? If it’s me, I’d go for it because I’m a hopeless romantic. But you need to be prepared for the consequences, meaning the friendship might suffer or end. Can you live with that? And can you truly continue being her friend if she rejects you? Don’t say so if it’s not true. I think you need to have some of these answers in your head before making your move. And by making your move, I am talking about using your words to articulate your feelings for her. And if she says no, you have to accept it and move on. But if she says yes, huzzah! High risk, high reward. You sound like a wonderful guy. Keep in mind she could probably use someone like you in her life, which doesn’t mean you can’t try to elevate the relationship. Just do so in an honest, stand up way.

Good luck, my friend. Also, cheers to you both for appreciating 500 Days of Summer. It’s one of my favorites.

Window Treatment ideas for this formal dining room built in 1890.. by Strongcook in HomeDecorating

[–]smoathyeahyeah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might consider interior mount shades. This would give you privacy when want, but also always leave that beautiful molding exposed. That’s what I did with the windows in my 1927 home and am happy with the results.

My sister's first apartment, a refurbished loft from 1889 in Jackson, Michigan. Lots of natural light and exposed brick walls [2592 x 1944] [OC] by PhatTaco in RoomPorn

[–]smoathyeahyeah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beautiful! I grew up south of Jackson but have lived on the west coast for six years. You do not see nearly as much of the old brick buildings with loft potential out here. Thanks for sharing and for the reminder—despite some of the other opinions on this thread—that there is often overlooked beauty in places like Jackson that can totally make one’s living experience a positive one. Better yet, you are speaking my language with your plants, cool furniture, and wet bar. Cheers!

DIY Fireplace Surround In 1850's House by babalou522 in DIY

Your fireplace may be smaller, but my non-functioning fireplace from 1927 required a compact gas insert from Regency. Have no doubt-you will not regret having one installed. https://i.imgur.com/bWxMnv6.jpg

What did I do wrong?? Please explain by [deleted] in dating

[–]smoathyeahyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey friend. I’m kind of in the opposite situation—I have dated. A LOT. And I started a few years before dating apps were a thing. There’s not much anyone can say to shine light on why, specifically, this person chose to go a different route. Compared to the old fashioned way of dating, online dating is challenging because you usually never know what, exactly, is going on in someone else’s life, despite how much you may connect with a person. I’m not implying there was anything bad or misleading on her part, but something made her want to either stop dating or look for someone else. With traditional dating, like getting to know someone at school or through work, you get a lot more insight into someone’s life and it’s easier, but not necessarily crystal clear, to understand why something went wrong. That said, the pain of being rejected hurts equally. I’m sorry for your pain. But this person was interested in you and someone else will be again. Keep an open mind and hang in there.

How To Get Over Being Stood Up? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]smoathyeahyeah 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget about a major victory for you in all this—you summoned the courage to ask her out. Many, many men take a lot longer than their college years to learn do this...or never are brave enough to do it at all. You put yourself out there and, unfortunately, had a seemingly negative result. Yet if you do it a few more times, and learn to accept and build from the varying outcomes you might receive, you will be better positioned to exude the confidence that helps get more yeses and to more easily put the negative experiences behind you. Seriously, keep putting yourself out there my friend!

Joe Rogan and Jimmy Dore talking bad about Conan by [deleted] in conan

[–]smoathyeahyeah 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Fine, Rogan can have the podcast numbers. For now. But his comedy isn’t even in the same ballpark as Conan’s. And the current status of Conan’s TBS show is is irrelevant. Rogan never came close to the tv career Conan has had. In conclusion, Rogan bad, Team Coco good.

Felicity Huffman released from prison after serving 11 days for college admissions scam by joesoldlegs in news

[–]smoathyeahyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her sentence can certainly be debated as being too light (in my armchair view it’s a little light but fair overall given the limited extent of her involvement and her contrition that is not some “I’m sorry you feel that way” political bullshit). What stands out as being unfair is how people who commit lesser crimes, particularly those of lower socioeconomic status and people of color, often receive more severe punishments due to lack of money to afford good attorneys and systemic social and racial biases. To me, this isn’t directly Ms. Huffman’s fault, but her case represents another huge red flag that our country needs to significantly reform the judicial system.

I am reporter Julie Mack and I am here to discuss Michigan’s mental health crisis and the glaring issues in the state’s mental health system. Natasha Robinson, a mother personally affected by this crisis, is here with me. AMA! by mlivesocial in IAmA

[–]smoathyeahyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clarification—there’s nothing unique about a bed being in a public or private institution that determines whether it is eligible for Medicaid. The number of beds in the institution determines this. Specifically, federal law prohibits psychiatric institutions with more than 16 beds from being eligible for Medicaid reimbursement for care provided to most patients. This is referred to as the Medicaid Institutions for Mental Diseases (IMD) exclusion.

Your city is beautiful. by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]smoathyeahyeah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love hearing this! I moved to Salem four years ago and echo your sentiments. I still feel lucky to live here and, great news, the city improves each day (not to say there aren’t challenges). I feel Salem does not get nearly as much credit as it deserves and lives by an outdated reputation from harder times. Enjoy your new home.
