PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"The Paradise that is Portland (Oregon)" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-08-05 AT 09:48 PM (EST)My Mother's Day bummer did not materialize! Woo freakin' Hoo! I had bought these expensive tickets to take my mother on a brunch cruise down the Willlamette River today, and it was supposed to rain but it didn't! We had excellent food, great champagne, roses, photos, silly entertainment, great piano bar, and beautiful photo ops in the glorious sunshine while cruising one of the most beautiful rivers in these here United States. And THEN it rained as soon as we disembarked. What an incredibly beautiful and wonderful city is Portland. I was born here, raised in California, and I AM BACK. Hopefully to stay. The only thing this state needs is jobs. Now.
Pssst, if you're Republican you will NOT like this place.
Oh, and DON'T call it OREH-GONE!
Infinitely worse than calling San Francisco ESS EFF. (ugh)and *smooches* to Seana for my first siggiepic!

Hi LibraRising! I have libra rising too. That's a whole subject in itself, as you know. My great uncle and aunt (who lived here all their lives and were cute, doddery, monacled, prominent citizens supposedly), wrote a song together called "Don't Call it Ore-Gawn." It got published and everything and I guess it was sung a lot in the 50's and 60's but now it's collecting dust somewhere in somebody's music porfolio. I love Portland because it is old and established and solid and YIN. It's so moist and lovely! People here dress for the weather and they have their noses in books and they ride bikes and walk places and basically lead lives that Californians know nothing about (well, southern Californians anyway). The music scene, the book scene, the indie theater scene, the hiking scene, the political scene, the ethnic music/restaurant scene... it's all here. And I live in one of the coolest, most beautiful sections of town - Ladd's Addition. How lucky am I? Everyday I pinch myself. It's a beautiful dream, from which I don't have to wake up.

LAST EDITED ON 05-09-05 AT 11:43 AM (EST)So, Badger, how did your Mother's Day turn out since you were able to escape testosterone hell at the monster truck show? By the way, my son is 18 now and he spent 12 years playing soccer. I spent many a mother's day on a soccer field. Now, I like soccer and I support it though I'm not a soccer mom, but these maniacs think that everyone should sit on a soccer field on mother's day just because of their precious tournaments. Whatever. My kid missed out on a lot (science museums, rafting trips, summer camp, observatorys, etc. because of frickin soccer. Who needs to play soccer 11 months a year? I mean, AYSO, high school, club. C'mon. My kid ended up not going for a soccer scolarship to college because he's so burnt out on it. His friends didn't either. What a shame. And there were so many ruined Mother's Days for me and the other moms!!!

LAST EDITED ON 05-09-05 AT 12:29 PM (EST)as a former resident - let me reiterate that if you call our state Nevahda, we will kill you. It's NeVAAAAAduh And as a native of Louisville, Kentucky - I must advise you that the proper proounciation is Lou-uh-vull. Not under any circumstances Lou-ee-vill. That is just wrong wrong wrong. Please learn it, know it, live it.
edited because I'm still not quite hooked on phonics.

Yes, Tie-gard.. hee hee! We lived in Beaverton, so that wasn't too hard! We loved being able to drive 2 minutes to a Blueberry orchard? Grove? farm? to pick our own, wild berries along side the road, Christmas tree farms, etc! I think DH would move back in a minute, as would I, if there were jobs, as you say.. Plus, all the grandparents are here, and if moved there would be much weeping, wailing & gnashing of teeth!
