ISO Random tile needed

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Artwithmisskaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m trying to find random tile I could patch together to do the bathroom floor. Sort of like an old school scrap quilt. It’s a tiny bathroom. 5’x8’ in size with a big shower pan chunk out of that.
The tiles don’t need to match. Any color or shapes would be fun. So if you have any stuff laying around from a past project. This artist would be delighted to come get them.
Blessings – Karen

CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st! MEET THE CAST: KATIE HACMAN AS MEG MAGRATH

CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st
Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org

MEET THE CAST: Katie Hackman

Back on stage after 18 years, Katie’s a powerhouse of reinvention!

Juggling her thriving small business, Cardman Cleaning Company, 2 kiddos, and husband TJ, Katie finds joy in baking, beach walks, music, and travel.

This play is extra special – sharing the spotlight with her daughter Marisa and marking her debut with Riverbend Players!

CRIMES OF THE HEART:

This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”

Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.

Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.

Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.

As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.

Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.

Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

March 1st – March 17th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center

injured white cat downtown nehalem

I’ve seen this long-haired white cat with no collars around downtown Nehalem for the last couple weeks. Last night (Sunday Feb 11) I saw it again, but this time badly limping..

The cat evaded my attempts to get closer, so i took a photo and have been reaching out to TAS and United Paws to try to get the cat medical help.

Does anyone know if this cat belongs to someone?

Thank you for any help. Jordan

Measure 110

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
RE: Recriminalizing small-quantity drug possession.

I found this report from OPB Radio documenting one person’s OD on fentanyl and a cop saving his life disturbing but also, for me, it raised some questions about the wisdom of the 110 retrenchment.

www.opb.org/article/2024/01/30/oregon-drug-crisis-portland-streets-overdoses-every-day/

The interviewed officer made the point that Measure 110 arrived on the scene at the same time as the spike in fentanyl. So it may be simplistic to make sweeping generalizations about 110 effectiveness.

Connecting migration with the rise in fentanyl availability is even more simplistic. On a basic level, it just doesn’t comport with the physical reality of this drug. Fentanyl is widely used in surgery to put patients under. The typical dosage for a 2-4 hour surgery is 400 MICROGRAMS (1mcg is one-millionth of a gram; a paper coffee filter weighs about 1 gram). A kilogram of raw drug cuts into tens of thousands of doses. No poor Cental Americans lugging 100-pound bales of product across the Rio Grande needed.

Pre-pandemic, Oregon spent $10,000 a year on each K-12 student and $44,000 a year on each prisoner. We’re in the top 10 and moving up. Also, note that $44k doesn’t include the pre-prison enforcement/judicial costs. One way or another we’ll all have to pay for 110 retrenchment.

BOUNDARIES AGAINST PAINFUL SLANDER

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: sheila.bayside@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The BBQ is such an enormous service to our community. Frankly, I don’t know how we would get along without it.

That said, I was painfully disturbed be a recent post in which a resident of Wheeler slandered specific members of our community amidst expressing concern about the troublesome presence of theft and drugs within the area.

My post here is an appeal that we self police ourselves in BBQ posts and restrain from serious, negative comments that identify specific people. Rarely is GOSSIP productive. Often it can be harmful and hurtful. Rarely is it a fully informed account. In regards to the post that upset me, I know two of the people mentioned; I was alarmed by the misrepresentation and lack of accuracy.

It is interesting to note that measure 110 decriminalizing drugs by amount was passed in 2020 – looking at a map produced by the CDC showing a map of the states. It shows that 2020 is the first year that mortality from drugs jumped to a new high in Oregon. See link at bottom.

But who cares? I can find states that have a higher mortality from drugs. So there! Just ignore it. It’s not that hard to step over a body – I can still do it and I am in my late 80’s. CRIME? I have a gun and a compost heap – perfect place for hiding a body. I am not worried.

And most of us know that Trump and Russia are responsible for this anyway – Don’t embarrass the Democrats – they already have so much more to be embarrassed about
