![[i]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lucasmo posting in ![[i]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) damnportlanders: "yard waste" and douchebags
I finally got my new large green yard waste bin today. On the outside, it says "Portland Composts!" but it makes no mention of putting anything in the bin but yard debris. Can I put regular household compost (food scraps, old leftovers) in there? On an unrelated note, I was camping in the Mt. Hood national forest for the past few days, in an area somewhat far from any improved sites. While I was there, some douchebag pried open my gas door (it locks from the inside of the car) yet failed to siphon out any gas. Instead, they made it so that I can't put more gas in the car. Here's to you, wilderness loving douchebags! You owe me $200. What would be the benefit of this? You'd have to burn lots of gas to steal people's gas in the middle of nowhere. Do crazy tweakers hang out in the forest? For the rest of you, if you're camping near the Clackamas river, it might be a good idea to park your car very close to your campsite. Or cover your car in creepy, cliche gun-themed bumper stickers. Thu, Jul. 24th, 2008, 01:40 pm

- Go downtown to the corner of SW 5th and Yamhill. Find the dude in the white pointy hat who is playing a playskool xylophone.
- KEEL HEEM.
- littlebluedog, who works in a nearby building, will then come down and buy you FREE ICE CREAM. You may keep the white pointy hat. The xylophone shall be destroyed.

What bridal shops do you recommend? Which ones would you rather burn down then set foot in again? I looked on Citysearch for reviews and there's a lot of drama there, hard to tell the real reviews from the fake ones. Also, I love to here from anyone who got their dress from Brides Against Breast Cancer! Tell me your experience! :) Thanks in advance! Thu, Jul. 24th, 2008, 12:12 pm
klingonporn posting in damnportlanders: An interesting article in today's Oregonian regarding cyclists
Poll #1229031 Should cyclists carry insurance?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllAs the topic states: Should they? If it came to council, would you vote to approve or deny insurance for cyclists?
I'm trying to raise some money so that I don't starve before I get paid next. I have this new age hippie type gadget game called "Journey to the Wild Divine" that I bought awhile ago. It fits on three of your fingers and measures heart and respiration rate. You wander around a pretty garden doing various tasks and activities by controlling your breathing and heart rate. It's pretty relaxing and cool. I just couldn't really get past the ultra new age hippie aspect of it. I'm selling it for $50. It works on both PC and MAC. Thank you. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ele/762535779.html Thu, Jul. 24th, 2008, 10:29 am

Anyone else watching with a mixture of bemusement, horror, and annoyance as the Great Scrap Metal Spamming/Flagging Festival of 2008 continues? I don't know why I find it so hilarious, but I do. And I can't help but wonder if any Faces of Meth are involved. ETA: and now the dude is going for pathos... http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/wan/768159872.html Thu, Jul. 24th, 2008, 01:11 pm

Iowa Cyclists Sidelined By Tacks In Tires
Cyclists Participating In 400-Mile Ride Across State
POSTED: 9:32 am EDT July 24, 2008
AMES, Iowa -- Dozens of Iowa cyclists were sidelined by a possible prank during their ride Wednesday morning, reported KCCI-TV in Des Moines, Iowa.
"I heard a small pop out of the tire," said Doris Sherman, a participant in the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, or RAGBRAI, which is a more than 400-mile ride across the state.
Sherman pulled over in Colo, Iowa, where she found dozens of other cyclists lined up at a repair shop. That's when she discovered the source of her problem, a small tack.
Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald said tacks were dumped along the white lines of the eastbound lanes in three different stretches of old Lincoln Highway.
"Bikes have been falling off left and right with tires. I've come across some people who have had gone through three or four tubes on their bike tires already," Fitzgerald said.
Dave Hendricks, who was fixing the trashed tires, said his crew had pulled at least 50 tacks out of tires in just a couple hours.
"We got here about 6 o'clock and they started showing up right after that. We've been repairing mostly tubes here, bunches of them," Hendricks said.
County road crews carefully navigated through the crowd of bikers trying to clear the road of any additional tacks.
"It's too bad that some people are inconsiderate of others, but we riders still go on. (It) doesn't stop us from riding," Sherman said.
Sheriff's deputies are looking into the case, but they said it's difficult because while they assume the tacks were intentionally placed along the road, they don't know that for sure. Thu, Jul. 24th, 2008, 09:21 am
drjeff posting in damnportlanders: Person Friday needed!
sistermaryeris and I are in need of someone to help us run our lives and our household! We are losing our beloved hallucinas at the beginning of the school year, and we're looking for someone to replace her. This is not a glamour position, involving mostly dishwashing, floor-cleaning, and driving grubby little kids around from place to place. We strive to be kind and ethical employers, and are pretty flexible people. There may be an extra babysitting shift in there once in a while, too. The job would likely involve two afternoons per week during the school year, picking up a kid or two from school and coming home to tidy up our Gateway-area house. It's not for someone who needs a part-time job, more for someone who is looking for 4-5 hours of work per week to fill in a gap somewhere. Pay is reasonable, I think (15-ish an hour), but you'd have to ask hallucinas. :) Ideally, our full-page ad in this Sunday's NY Times will convince her to stay, as we love her dearly, but I have a feeling that her mind is made up. This may seem a little early to be hiring for September, but she's a tough act to follow and we want to get it right. :) Email me at drjeff at gmail for the deets. Thu, Jul. 24th, 2008, 10:18 am

yourdannybear: On bound foot
I walk around with a limp. I lift my right leg up and hop awkwardly about. My right foot is bound in gauze and bandage to prevent bleeding and I am sufficiently disabled. It's improved throughout today but I know tomorrow will be rough starting at work. I guess I'll just have to be a "man" and wince in silence while my new employers explain to me the bullshit of my new hotel. I have been dreading this all week long, mostly because the hotel industry was never where I should have ended up, but here I am in full front desk agent clothing. I have to fake my life every day to people and pretend everything is GREAT so a guest has a nice stay. It comes with the territory and I am good at it but the whole getting into my 20's thing is creeping up on me. Do I want to do this? Is this my passion? No. It is a paycheck until further notice and I will hop about tomorrow to make them happy. 8 am comes soon enough and I have to be perfect with an injury bright and early. Ashley makes pie and shes cutting me a slice. God I miss her.  Wed, Jul. 23rd, 2008, 10:02 pm
