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.

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.

[i]drjeff posting in [i]damnportlanders: Person Friday needed!

[info]sistermaryeris and I are in need of someone to help us run our lives and our household!

We are losing our beloved [info]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 [info]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.

[i]rivermars posting in [i]dp_snark: Aggressive Hippies

Wow, hippies are really aggressive lately. Hopefully aggressive hippies can find some inner peace and resolve within themselves. Do hippies really think that reckless and aggressive drug-taking will cure all their problems? Sometimes you just have to shake your head at those silly folks paying all that money for butthash and polluting everything with the stink of patchouli. Oh well, live and learn. ;)

peace out, ride the snake

[i]mittens_of_doom posting in [i]damnportlanders: Bicycle v Car

Last week in my spanish class we discussed the recent car v biker violence. As an all weather bicyclist I notice the animosity level from auto drivers tends to increase significantly during the summer months. I'm not 100% why this is but I would guess it's due to the pure increase in cyclists as well as the increase in a specific type of rider. I would guess that not only does the number of riders increase but that the number of unexperienced riders jumps disproportionately.

I know that personally I tend to get annoyed by the lack of bicyclists during the nice weather. Lack of bike racks and slow riders in the bike can definitely be a nuisance but so it goes.

So what do all damnportlanders think? Why does the animosity between cyclists and drivers seem to increase during the summer?

[i]penantes posting in [i]damnportlanders: cheap cell phone service?

I am thinking of getting rid of my land line. I don't own a cell phone.
I have heard such conflicting stories from people about what companies are good and who sucks.

I only pay 33.00 for my land line ( Qwest without long distance)...anyone recommend something similiar or better?
Who should I avoid?
Kudos and thank you ahead of time!

Portland related ...well, cuz we are all feeling the crunch!

[i]thirty_three posting in [i]damnportlanders: Jobs jobs jobs!

So, my husband is the cafe manager at Grand Central Bakery in Irvington and due to one of his awesomest employees being promoted, he is going to be hiring in the next couple weeks.

He hasn't put an ad on Craigslist yet, so I wanted to give a heads-up to any interested job seekers. There isn't a ton of turnover, pay is decent (between $9-11 for retail staff) and supplemented nicely by tips. The cafe is open from 7AM-6PM, seven days a week. The crew is super responsible and hard working and my husband seems to be regarded as a pretty awesome boss.

Brad is the store Tuesday through Saturday, generally from 8AM-4PM. Don't take your resume in at lunchtime though, everyone will hate you and you probably won't get hired.
