They could... But for over a year I've been waiting :/

Maybe not falling into the ocean, but does the idea of earth quakes, like "the big one" ever freak you out? I'd imagine I'd get used to little ones pretty quick, but the society-collapsing earthquake built up in my brain is very scary! Lol

Also, contacted my work and asked about transferring out there. We might actually be doing this!

It'd be amazing to have my own little secret abandoned city haha

One more thing, how concerned should I be about falling into the ocean if the cascades fault goes?

Wtaf, how are the prices in Portland better than in my little hick town in Tennessee? Jeeze

Just looked it up, and I'll make almost exactly 3 more dollars an hour, too. Honestly, this is worth genuinely considering

I think I may have kept this a secret, had my amazing secret enormous underground city to myself, and announced it's existence in my will.

Anthropology was also my first love, so I probably wouldn't have done that, but it's fun to think about lol

Sadly, I'm in Tennessee. But if you know of anything for 1000 a month or less I'll move there tomorrow!

I believe have a problem with the cuboid bone in my foot, and I've been waiting over a year for a podiatrist. I wonder if I can see if there's a crack in it myself... It's close enough to the surface that it should be visible if that really works? I wonder how no one who works with the stuff has ever noticed this before

Bulbs v switches is actually why it took me so long to get them to begin in. Having bulbs, inherently disposable things, full of tech seems... Less than ideal. But where I live, the electrical is rough. Like, we have 1 circuit, the light circuit. Everything else is messed up and turned off at the box, including all the 220s, except for the water heater. Run everything off power strips and have to turn everything off to cook. Lol. I don't want to mess with the electrical in this house. I want to move. Lol

Similar boat (sans furry), and I've recently decided I'm tired of being lonely. I've started going to a trivia night at a local bar that someone from my church hosts, even though I end up playing alone each week*, and I found a MCC church (basically, gay church) and went there, where I found a gay men's discussion group I'm going to attend on Monday. I have two friends, both straight, but I'm hoping to get them and some people other people either through them or through trivia/discussion group to help start a bowling team.

*Even though I'm the only one playing without a team, I've come in second twice!

In October of last year my mom came home from the ICU, now unable to get out of bed. I replaced all the bulbs in the house with smart bulbs and put the fans on a little smart plug thing. It made me really like the idea of home smart home features, but I'm not techy. They're just Alexa enabled for her to use with the fire stick, and I use google home on my phone for em.

Can you offer any advice for ones that don't require internet? Every time our power goes out (any time there's a storm), I have to go around and reset them while they flash at me like the worst night club

I have no idea. I've got some lidocaine viscous they gave me for the pain. I'm lucky enough to have medical, just not dental. But from experience, it helps temporarily numb the surface pain, but if it's in the root, or if you're pulling the tooth, it does not help.
