My co-worker is from Russia! YT's story is proof! -- she is absolutely a mail-order bride. I think we all know it (my other co-workers and I) but just never say anything to each other about it. I visited her and her husband a few months ago and i…

I agree. Very strange. Was there anything wrong with the couch?
-
Ha ha ha. Can't really come, although that sounds like FUN! (Actually, I think I work with a true mail-order bride! It's weird because she's this amazing, multi-lingual, independent badass) Ok, feeling better about rent split, esp. since some of…

"As long as the underground dwellers don't know about it" - I hate that. I like transparency. I want to be fair, so that I don't have to worry about keeping anything a secret!

A word of caution re: condo's... those HOA dues are KILLER. To give you some perspective, that condo I orginally wanted cost $220k or something. I remember calculating the monthly payments at around $1400. It was a one-bedroom. In the end I bou…

owls - didn't someone in this thread say that you have to have parental permission to take the tablets? That might be a big barrier for lots of poor kids. I don't know, though!
-
Backing up a second... Dr. WH, you said, "Fluoride tablets cost $.50 per year per person, Portland fluoridation: over $40 per year per at risk kid." Did you mean, "Fluoride tablets cost $.50 per year per AT RISK KID, Portland fluoridation: over $4…

Abe - you should give us more details.

Oh my gosh I want to go with you, Abe! Good luck! You guys. Look at this dreamy Mt. Hood cabin. I want it! But maybe Alex should buy it! http://www.redfin.com/OR/Rhododendron/68933-E-Vine-Maple-Dr-97049/home/45112381

It's in nopo (St. Johns-ish), but it's cute! http://www.redfin.com/OR/Portland/7632-N-Mckenna-Ave-97203/home/26611920

The amount of fluoride they're currently drinking is not enough to provide any benefit.
-
Yeah, YT, I know. I think I simplify what people are saying when they say "we need more access" and "we need more education." I'm a little jaded from working (sadly, for only a few years now!) with people who need so. much. help. And I get a littl…

And did I really just boil it down to diabetics eating chocolate cake? I think I did. Sorry.
-
Oh man. Now I'm regretting my comment. Sorry for bringing it up on UHX!!! We can agree to sink if it would be better for everyone. Obviously I know not everyone is like the parent I described, and obviously I think more access and more education …

When I say "help people make better choices," I'm not trying to sound paternalistic. I just don't know any other way to say it. I don't mean, "Hey! Why don't you eat more organic lettuce?" when, duh, it is hard on so many levels for poor people to…

Re: "access to dental care" - remember, the vast majority of what happens at the dentist's office is *treatment* for *problems.* Fluoride is a preventative measure. I feel like there are two problems getting mushed into one: 1) poor kids don't hav…
-
LT - I've been guilty of using the "you can always drink bottled water" phrase, but I've used it in response to language like, "pro-fluoride people want to shove fluoride down my throat without my permission." Um, no we don't. If you don't want a …

Lolo - what's DM & HTN?

I hear you, UBS.

Oh my gosh I can and will expand! I am definitely pro, but also know that if I were not exceptionally close to someone working in public health dentistry (my sister), I wouldn't have a clue about the realities of what goes on wrt this issue, and wou…

You're welcome! Was it just me, or was Alex more helpful than her mom? Some links in follow-up: More info on ADU's - http://www.portlandonline.com/bds/36676 My friend's blog about buying a 5.5 acre lot (with small house) in Scapoose and getting …

Just realized I never posted a picture for y'all! Here's one: Note: truck is not mine, man is mine.

I have been looking at houses since 2004. I will continue to look until I die, most likely. It helps when I have friends who might actually buy one of the ones I find. It's dangerous now, though, because occasionally I see one and think, "Doh! S…

YES! This will be fun. You will also get to meet my friend/colleague, Alex (female), who loves real estate almost as much as I do.

Don't forget! We are meeting at Sauvage tomorrow (wednesday) at 6pm! Realtor lady is being real nice to meet with us, so I'm hoping you all show up!
