No wait, I thought of something for the Mark Zuckerdude question. I would not let anybody change their names! Or at least prohibit changing names to confusing things. I really hate it! Just when I've figured out who everybody is, all of a sudden y…

Where do you most often check UHX? a) computer What sort of (smart)phone do you have? iPhone 5C Do you use UHX just "once a day" or do you check in multiple times a day? about 4x/week. sometimes I get out of the habit but then I am glad to come…

Thank you, Owly! I will do it!

Hey doods - my team is hiring for a part-time graphic designer. It's time-limited and part-time for now but I think there is strong potential for it to expand/extend. Values match is super important, so we're looking for people who care about walkin…

I hate to distract us all from end times musings, but I'm still stuck on needles. YT, is this the procedure you had? If so, I am pretty familiar with that huge-ass needle, because I've been watching a lot of epidural and spinal tap (h/t to FTP) vid…

Yes, well, that's what makes them phobias, no? Because they make no logical sense at all.

I need an epidural story. Anyone? As you can imagine, Calvin was a drug-free birth because there was NO WAY IN HELL anyone was getting near my spine with a GIANT FUCKING NEEDLE.

That's a good one, FaceTweetPlus. Thanks.

You guys, I'm making really good progress. I can watch videos and photos of people getting vaccinations and acupuncture with minimal anxiety. All the antivaxxer news is giving me fantastic opportunities to stumble upon images of people getting shots…

It's going well. Slowly, since my schedule makes it hard to see her. So far I have done the following homework: - Watch a tattoo reality show - Write the words "syringe" and "needle" over and over again - Watch ear piercing videos - Watch tragus pi…

Another day, another therapy session...this time my therapist gave me a straight-up syringe, y'all. It's in a sealed package. I have to carry it around in my purse so I will have dozens of casual chances to deal with it every day. I hope none of my …

Oh, so THAT'S who Waldo was!

We are reading Farmer Boy (Laura Ingalls Wilder) to Calvin. I never read it as a kid. Last night we read the chapter about harvesting the hay, oats, and wheat. They bring in some extra workers and the whole family works their tails off in the hot su…

I had my second session. We finished my list of stuff that stresses me out about needles, and turned that into homework ("exposure") ideas. Then I put that list in order of easiest to hardest, and now I have to spend 15 - 30 minutes every day doing …

So something interesting happened. I have had one session with the therapist, in which we mostly just talked about how the therapy works, my history with this phobia, and started on the list of scary things. Nothing so in-depth that I would have exp…

Another thing. I think the VERY WORST thing, that will be at the top of the ranked list, is something that has happened to my dad like 7 times (so it feels very real to me). His retina detached, and you only have an hour or two to treat it or you …

So, I have tried acupuncture three times. The first time was for my Reynaud's syndrome, and the needles were only in my back. It was hard but just barely do-able. I think I went 3 or 4 times. It didn't cure my circulation, which is a bummer, but i…

Hm. I've never heard of this. And I track bike media pretty religiously. I think you should read this entire long but fascinating review on Sweethome that resulted in a recommendation for the Krypto Series 2. They interview two bike thieves - a sma…
-
Judar, what price range do you have in mind? If you are OK with used bikes - more bike for your money, but the hassle of the hunt - I pretty much always recommend Sellwood Cycle. Huge selection, honest people. They do post everything online, so you …

J'adore Olympic Provisions for lunch. Admittedly, it's 4 blocks from my office, but I swear it's not settling. Little Bird is delightful too.

YT, only because I think you will care, I believe it would be "font of info."

A friend is renting out an apartment in the triplex she owns. She strongly wants a friend-of-friend situation, not Craiglist. Details below; contact me if you want her email address. - 32nd Ave just south of Alberta - $850 includes some utilities a…

Send me your email address & I'll put you in touch with my neighbor. He's a totally legit and mellow dude.
-
No takers, then?

OMG I would die to have your parents as neighbors! I would just send Calvin over with a book when I was tired of playing Legos, and they could help with our ambitious community gardening project. I bet your mom would like to come on my fruit gleanin…
-
Well, it's not for very long, and I think he just wants somebody trustworthy who will take care of his place. If anyone is interested, I can message you his contact info.

My neighbor is traveling this summer and is looking to sub-let his 1-bedroom apartment from June 9 until sometime between August 18 and 30. If needed, there might be some flexibility in moving in earlier or out later if someone wants to stay in the …

DJ Cheese Please is available for social engagements at very reasonable rates. He will wear his "Mike jacket" over his rainbow sweater unless otherwise directed. He can be returned to the parent company if he's being a butt.

Noun on Belmont has a nice selection. So does Manifesto Shoes on N Miss. Gilt in NW has vintage stuff but also a selection of local designers upstairs. I love Betsy & Iya but their rings may not be what you're looking for. They're on Etsy, thoug…

Boy is it clear who doesn't have kids on here (much less full-time job + house). Literally my only projects are: - Try to get in bed by 10:30 - Prepare for my week on Sunday night - Transfer stupid old retirement account out of exploitative account…
