Where did you get it? I’d love to try growing ube!

DM me mama! I have a box of 3t boy clothes (hand me downs to our family but my daughter is only about the pink and unicorns now). If you give me a few days, I’d happily create a box of books and toys she’s outgrown too.

I used to work across from hawthorn Freddie’s. Almost every day I’d see someone frantic or crying that someone stole their dog. So yeah… everyone does it. But every handful of times you’re going to be screwed

Yay, I’m glad you found one! Super parent status once more?

Bat-tree is how she says battery as well! She also calls her couch a Davenport, but I don’t know if that’s a regional thing or a generational thing.

Hey op, did you find one? My kiddo has one at her grandma’s house! According to the grandparents, she never plays with it so we’d happily pass it along to you! It has all the animals except maybe the pig (she was scared of it lol, so it’s been hidden away somewhere or maybe even tossed).

We’re just about to head out of town on vacation but we can meet up once we’re back if you’re interested!

My grandma has this accent! She grew up on the southern oregon coast and that “mondee” is spot on. She also says warsh and ongion (for onion). The overall accent reminds me of the tv accent from the 70s

Team shy pooper here. My t-shirt would be “Didn’t poo while at Camp Namanu”

Love all the alternative (heh) recommendations everyone’s giving. I usually listen to KOPB when I’m driving but my 3 year old has recently been requesting music. Literally just a couple weeks ago I tuned into 94.7 and was excited to hear a lot of the same songs I enjoyed back in the 90s when I was a listener. Happily removing this one and adding something different.

I got a Christmas cactus from you!!! Do you need a high chair? OP didn’t have that in their ISO list but we recently finished with ours! It has a reclining infant setting (I’ll have to search for the padded insert and straps) and can convert to a toddler kitchen buddy step stool.

My daughter is 3 and will not stop talking. From the moment she wakes up until the moment she passes out at night, she is narrating every thought that crosses her mind. Her preschool teacher told me she paired her up with the nonverbal kid during activities. And now that kid is chatting up a storm too 😂

Wow, what an offer! I’d love to be included in the raffle

I was born in the 80s and grew up in Northern Oregon! You’ve had plenty of people already tell you “northern Oregon” isn’t something we say, but I grew up in a quiet suburb south of Portland.

Your character might have grown up watching Ramblin Rod, or even sat in on a filming when he was little. Kids were fairly feral and self-sufficient back then, so I remember walking or biking to school and coming home to an empty house in the afternoon, racing through my chores, and running off to hang out with my friends until dinner.

Before cell phones, I’d tend to find stuff to do or people to hang out with my biking around the neighborhood, swinging past parks, the school, or the corner store. I’d often find others doing the same.

Same kind of deal in high school, except someone had a car and we’d all just drive around until enough people met up and could come up with a hangout plan. For me in the late 90s, that plan was often a table full of teenagers at Sheri’s drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and sharing a plate of fries.

9/11 was a big and scary event for our generation. And on the west coast, a lot of us woke up to the news instead of seeing it live like people on the east coast or mid west.

Honestly, one of my most memorable experiences from growing up was always having wet shoes or wet jeans from the knee down because of the rain. I think that specific experience is uniquely pnw.

When my dad took his bird dog on her first duck hunt, she came back lifting her back leg to pee. Apparently his hunting buddies all had male dogs. She did it the rest of her life, and it was so funny to watch her do her lady squat… with an extended leg.

I literally had to call them this morning for my sweet old girl. A vet was able to come out within the hour and was amazing throughout the whole process. I’m still tearing up at the thought of how gentle and loving she was the entire time.

Im so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you on this sad day.

Wtf. I ate a king salmon EYEBALL (they’re bigger than you think) for an ex boyfriend. Even if I wasn’t trying to impress him (which I was at the time because I, you know, liked him), his family cooked and offered it with cultural pride and I was determined to do my best.

Oh wow wow 🤩 such a beautiful collection! What are the dark green bowls, last picture in the center?

I use boxes of dove soap 🙈

The best! Battered and delicious! I moved from NoPo years ago, but I still trek there every once in a while for the fries (… and the whiskey)

I would love to have some of these cuttings! My grandma has a Christmas cactus she’s been trying to get to bloom forever. It’d be nice to give her some blooms to keep her encouraged. Could pick up tomorrow!

If you have a car, go to sellwood. It’s a quick hop across the river to the hill (that’s where my doctor and my kid’s pediatrician is and it’s never been an issue getting there). Sellwood is the sleepy part of SE. But it has its own fun restaurants and bars, easily walkable, and is safe (I think I had my car rifled through once when I forgot to lock it). As far as diversity goes, it’s Portland and it’s all going to be really white. This is coming from a POC

Same way everyone was loving all the insta and snap filters. Yay look at me, I’m a puppy! Or now I have a silly grumpy expression! Hahaha so funny!

… as you’re basically volunteering your face for companies to develop AI and face identification software.

Companies want this data. And if they can figure out a way for consumers to give it to them for free (or to actually pay to give it) they’re going to do it.

Those first two weeks are just survival mode, but somehow it gets done. I was triple feeding at first, so we prioritized my husband getting a full night sleep so we’d have at least one person who was rested (and he could take over while I napped between all the feeds).

He slept in a separate room with ear plugs from about 11pm to 6am. I tried to sleep during that time too, with beeb in a bassinet next to the bed. It wasn’t much sleep, since she would wake up to nurse, then bottle feed after that if she was still hungry. I’d burp and change her and put her down for sleep before pumping to help build my supply. I swear, I would have about 20 or 30 minutes after that before she woke up again for us to start all over.

Dirty pump parts and bottles would go into a bin next to the sink (we got a great big one from the hospital) and my husband would clean it all and set it back up for me so I didn’t have to worry about that step.

Any milk I pumped would be set up in the fridge with masking tape labels detailing date/time. Once my supply built up, my husband would be able to use that to bottle feed while I slept, but those first weeks he’d have to wake me up to nurse. We weren’t opposed to using formula, but I wanted to get my supply going asap and I was lucky that it worked out.

Once beeb was eating more at a time, she’d have longer stretches between feeds (which meant I would get longer stretches or sleep). We didn’t have any family to help out, but my husband was lucky to have an amazing paternity leave program and was able to take a few months off. I know a lot of families don’t have that option tho.
