Hey Oregon we gotta wake up. We already stopped the urban growth boundary (for now) from going into North Plains. We complain about PGE and their rate hikes but no one’s calling out that PGE has signed contracts to supply 400+ MW that they CAN NOT SERVE due to no open transmission. So what’s their resolution? Chop up the Columbia River to bypass public transmission infrastructure. How about no.

I’m posting this for my friend who does not use reddit. We work together and he was out doing a delivery for our work and he witnessed this happen

This happened off 158th Ave just passed the Fred Meyer and Tualatin Hills Aquatic Center

He stopped a good distance away with his hazard lights on, same with the people in the other lane waiting for the Mama Duck and her little babies to cross the road

He witnessed someone willingly just plow right into the mama duck and her babies. He said this person had to have been going 20-30 mph. This should’ve been enough time and cautious as to why everyone else was stopped on the road. Especially with their hazards

After the duck got hit, he got out of the car to check on her and a couple other people got out to scramble the baby ducks. The Mama duck was conscious only for a little bit before passing away in his hands…

Allegedly one of the babies had been maimed on its leg and the rest were fine. A lady had a box ready to get all the babies in there, which they were successfully able to do. Thankfully she was ready and quick to be there to help.

If the lady who helped in this situation sees this, please let us know how the baby ducks are doing! We felt so bad for him having to see that and deal with the mama duck dying in his hands.

Hello, my husband and I are struggling with good places to buy plus size big and tall mens clothing options at moderately reasonable prices.

•We are middle aged adults gen x old punkers (not uncool but not trendy either)

•We are looking for 4x shirts, office wear and a new affinity for Hawaiian shirts

•46-48" pants, basic relaxed fit jeans and slacks

•12-13 mens WW comfort tennis shoes

We have tried:

BURLINGTON, they do carry his size however its very poor quality and really trendy which is not the vibe or comfort we are looking for

ROSS, they sometimes have some options but its mostly athletic and very very limited.

FRED MEYERS, selection is limited and its expensive

DXL, a plus size mens specialty store (thats awesome!) but also pretty expensive.

WALMART, there is occasionally something that will work there usually a shirt but its luck of the draw mostly sized out of in store selections.

We are willing to shop online but it's a better experience to try things on especially for larger bodies as fit is very subjective!

I need your input portland! Where do other large men find their fabulous clothes at reasonable prices?

Hi, Im in search of finding my boyfriend a decent job in caregiving or warehouse. His problem is he doesnt have a diploma and these are the types of job that seem easier for him to get in.

Just went to Grillworka to get some more pellets for my smoker and it looks like it’s closed. All signs are gone, and there is a paper taped inside the door stating that the landlord has repossessed the property.

Anyone know of additional context? Seemed like things were going on there after they relocated.

Are there any farm stands in the Beaverton/Hillsboro/West Portland area? Looking for fresh locally grown veggies/fruit. Or is the farmers market a good option?

for hot pot at home

I've never worn glasses before and my eyesight is going. Anyone know of a good optometrist?

I highly advise against working for the owners of The UPS Store in Aloha(names removed per moderator). I worked for them for over 12 years. They repeatedly make promises of incentive programs and do not follow through. When I worked for 10 years, the owner announced to the company(their 9 stores) that as my gift they would be paying for my son‘s college. My son was 14 at this time. Over the last six years of my employment, I was doing the job that they used to have three different people doing with no additional pay. I took over the roles of my local store manager and our West Coast and East Coast supervisors. I have several medical problems and after 12 1/2 years I got burnt out. I had to take time off of work protected by our state. Upon returning, I was notified that my accommodation would no longer be available to me and that they would only be paying for my sons schooling if I still worked for them while my son is in college, who was 16 at this time. But they did give the accommodation I was receiving to a new worker that they hired out of India. I spoke to a lawyer who told me to send them an official email requesting said accommodation. Within four hours of sending that email the owners began deactivating all of my work accounts. They also illegally deducted my entire last paycheck. They are liars and will overwork you and then throw you out like nothing. I worked very closely with the owners and they’re constantly trash talking their employees.

The franchise consultant for the company has offered to be my reference because he knows that I was a fantastic worker and on our quarterly visits our local store was impeccable.

Other head people in corporate told me “good luck” when they heard what owners I worked for.

These people own stores 5224, 1887, 4804, 2973, 1671, 0076, 4503, 3948, 5971. Work at your own risk.

Hi, I would like to meet local LGBT people, I'm a 34 year lesbian and am trying to branch out to meet people.

Why don’t Beaverton, Hillsboro , and Portland police enforce vehicle noise laws? I shouldn’t have to hear inconsiderate, testosterone fueled jerk with an after market muffler (or none at all) a half mile away in my house?

Hi there,

What can I expect when it comes to alterations of a button up shirt? I’ve been working out and am pretty proud of my results, so I’d like my shirts to fit a bit better, and that includes when tucking it in.

I see Maria’s on Allen is recommended, but I do not see much else as far as prices, how long, or what to really expect. Can I bring any shirt or pants in to be tailored, do they measure me?

Finally, do I just ask my shirt to be tailored to my size?

People suggest fold over, and especially darts. Is there a better or proper way to request this?

Just an awkward guy looking to get better fitted clothes. Thank you!

look I won’t get into it but I think I need to check myself in for treatment.

is there a place that ppl recommend that won’t decide to keep me indefinitely because I have decent insurance? a place that is good for getting back on track?

Does anyone have a recommendation for where to purchase ~100 cedar fence boards? I have to believe there's a better place than HD and Lowes.
