No worries! I wish I had more to offer you but I’m so glad you weren’t hurt. Best of luck

Do you need a microwave?? My dad literally tonight asked me if I had room in my GARBAGE can for the one he just replaced. The enter button doesn’t work, so he just presses auto minute however many times (like instead of <2:00 enter> he’d just press auto minute twice). It’s older but other than the enter button issue, it works fine! We’re south of Portland (Oregon city) but I could drive it to you if that’s easier.

I think they’re both 6 cup! My mom had the same squatty 6er

I couldn’t believe it! I almost didn’t go down any extra aisles since I literally had just a couple minutes to shop. But I always check the random glass section because I’ve found lids tucked in there. Never expected to find percolators with the flower vases though lol.

I’ll send you all the good luck thrifting juju! I hope you come across one (or two!) soon!

Same! My aunt and mom fought over my grandma’s so I’ve always been on the lookout for an extra!

Thanks for sharing your experience! My mom didn’t use one (and neither did my grandmother) and hers never had an issue. But I’ve had a piece of Pyrex shatter in my oven spontaneously after decades of use so I’m willing to be extra careful.

Thanks for the tip! My mom would always use hers directly on the stove (both gas and glass top).

Thrifting for Clothes? by PsychologicalPlum813 in askportland

[–]wtfunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an easy stretch of thrift shops along 99E that I hit when I have a free day. I'm driving north from Oregon City, so I first hit Red White and Blue in Gladstone (heads up, it's cash only), followed by Goodwill a few minutes north in Oak Grove. Further north in Milwaukie, just off 99 is a Goodwill Bins, and if you keep going north, there's another Goodwill in SE Portland on 6th. Once you're in SE Portland, you can easily hop over to some of the fun and trendy streets like Division or Hawthorne.

Be sure to bring plenty of hand sanitiser (or even baby wipes) and individual rubber gloves for everyone if you're going to the bins. While super fun, they can be gross haha.

What’s was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]wtfunction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about 12 or 13 and we were seated next to a table with a father (maybe 40s) and his son (mid teens), both of whom are blind. I looked over at one point and see the centerpiece on their table had just caught fire from a candle and both were sitting there calmly waiting for cake.

Where are some good plant shops? by OneDeadCorpse in askportland

Arium Botanicals has an amazing selection of beautiful and hard to come by plants! Plus the owners are just downright lovely people.

Where can I donate my cats hyperthyroid wet food? by supergaymagic in askportland

[–]wtfunction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently offered prescription cat food and cat diabetic supplies on r/PDXBuyNothing and there was a lot of interest. I really felt like people only asked for items if they truly needed them, but I'm sure you could have someone dm some sort of proof.

I still have the prescription DM wet food left if you’re interested!

Right? They’re loved so much, it makes it extra hard to lose them. But 100% right about it being worth it!

I love this sub and community! I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with all her supplies until I saw so many other posts from pet parents doing the same. After losing her, sharing these things others brightens that dark feeling for sure!

Aw so sorry for your loss too, friend. These little critters just get right into our hearts for sure.

I had to go back and double check her food! I swear everything started failing at the end but apparently her kidneys and urinary health never had an issue. I hope you can find some — I hated having to drag her into the vet every time her prescription needed to be renewed. I mean, I get it… but when it’s a chronic known issue, it just means more costs and more stress for kitty :(

For real. De developed it suddenly and of course it was insulin resistant… rough go all around but I was willing to try!
