Antique metal organizing unit.

I’m just about done organizing my studio and sadly I can’t find a place for this awesome organizer I’ve had for 15-20 years. It’s antique, metal & glass. Perfect working condition. Narrow profile so it can fit in a counter or workbench nicely. Paid 145$ long ago. Happy with 50$ and a nice home where someone else can appreciate its unique usefulness.

I can send more pics upon request.

It’s Patriot’s Day!!!

Here is a fun game to play on Patriot’s Day!


Ask 30 people how many World Trade Center buildings collapsed into their own footprint on 9/11/2001!
I bet ya a sawbuck that 9 out of 10 people will answer two buildings fell. The correct answer is three!
How do I know that? Because this is World Trade Center Complex Building #7 on 9/11/2001.
(good luck finding footage of the collapse of WTC 7, Google (CIA) has scrubbed most of it.)
It was a 57-story building, and it was NOT hit by an airplane! There was a small fire on the 37th floor, then there were explosions, then it collapsed! Doh!

Figure 4.17a Video of WTC 7 Collapse, Perspective 1 in NYC (9/11/01) (5:20pm EDT)
byu/sarge-m inCatastrophicFailure


The WTC complex’s (new) owner, Larry Silverstein (Mossad) was on 60-minutes explaining the destruction of WTC building 7. He said he and the NYFD decided to ‘pull it’ due to the potential of collapse.
But ‘pull it’ is a demolition term, and it would take weeks to rig the building for demolition??? What gives Larry???
Here is Larry on PBS:

Then we invaded Iraq, stole their oil, and destroyed their country for Greater Israel! And then we transferred one-trillion of American taxpayer dollars to companies that make bombs and murder folks, via our ‘Afghanistan Project’!
In my view, buildings 1, 2, and 7 were rigged with explosives. Planes hit one and two, and then the demolition charges were pulled. The plane that was forced down in Pennsylvania? My guess is that it was supposed to hit bldg. seven BEFORE they puled the charges.
Anyway, yeah, let’s never forget what GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Israel, and Saudi Arabia did to us that day, including murdering hundreds of NYC firefighters.
HAPPY PATRIOT’S DAY!!!
🙂
(Next year: What happened to WTC building 6???)

Salmonberry Trail is Coming to Wheeler!

The building process has officially begun—be part of history in the making! Join our volunteer group as we build the very first Coastal section of the Salmonberry Trail right here in Wheeler.

This month, our trail team is hard at work creating a path alongside the rails and constructing a demonstration Rails AND Trails section.
As the saying goes, many hands make light work. Last Sunday, eleven dedicated volunteers cleared a huge stretch of blackberries, Scotch broom, and other invasive weeds along the tracks. The next two Saturdays, we’ll continue this effort—then move on to laying a compacted rock trail surface.

Come lend a hand and leave a legacy for Wheeler. Saturday September 13, 9am – 1pm and/or Saturday September 20.
And, enjoy your FREE LUNCH with fellow Trail builders!

High-price gasoline in Oregon

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: genedieken@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
I’d assert that taxation isn’t the reason for the huge disparity in prices state-to-state.

State taxes per gallon applied in Oregon and North Carolina are identical at 40 cents, yet the current average cost per gallon in Oregon is $4.20 and the current cost in North Carolina is $2.82.

What we have HERE is a failure of the market.

RIVERBEND PLAYERS AUDITIONS:
LARGE CAST NEEDED FOR UPCOMING COMEDY HOLIDAY PRODUCTION

We’re looking for actors of all experience levels who are ready to embrace big characters, holiday clichés, and a whole lot of comedy.

No need to bring a tree, cocoa, or a mysterious stranger from the big city, just bring your talent and your holiday spirit!

THE HOLIDAY CHANNEL CHRISTMAS MOVIE WONDERTHON, directed by Frank Squillo and written by Don Zolidis, is a hilarious spoof of the classic holiday TV movie formula (think Hallmark and Lifetime).

Set in a cozy inn during the Christmas season, the play follows six predictable yet intertwined love stories, filled with small-town charm, romantic misunderstandings, and holiday magic.

From a workaholic executive finding love to a secret prince hiding in plain sight, the show comically embraces every cliché, trope, and heartwarming twist of holiday movies.

With quick wit and festive spirit, this comedy celebrates and pokes fun at the feel-good holiday romances we all secretly love.

Primary Roles:

-Narrator 1 & Narrator 2: These two characters guide the audience through the intertwined stories with sarcastic and humorous commentary.

-Holly: The quintessential small-town inn owner with a heart of gold in Hopewood Falls, Vermont.

-Brett: A charming visitor who is secretly a prince from a fictional European country.

-Joy: A romance novelist struggling with writer’s block.

-Paul: A rival, and somewhat arrogant, romance novelist.

-Carol: A war reporter who has returned to her hometown for the holidays.

-Jackson: A local veterinarian and Carol’s love interest.

-Merry: A driven businessperson from the big city in search of the perfect Christmas tree.

-Blake: A ruggedly handsome Christmas tree farm owner.

-Kris: The son of the town’s former Santa Claus, who is hesitant to take up the family mantle.

-Noelle: The spirited owner of the local Christmas ornament shop.

-Sven: Another secret prince from a different fictional European nation.

-Rita: A famous movie star filming in town while in disguise.

-Bridgette: The sassy and supportive best friend to all the female leads.

Supporting Roles:

-Laertes: An evil real estate developer.

-Jimmy: The ex-boyfriend to several of the female characters.

-TSA Agent: A comedic minor role.

-Various other small roles that can be played by the ensemble to populate the town of Hopewood Falls.

Author Reading with Jane Ashe

Thursday, September 18th | 4:00-5:30pm
This event is free and open to the public.
Registration in advance is encouraged; walk-ins welcome as space allows

Hoffman Center for the Arts | 594 Laneda Avenue | Manzanita, Oregon

hoffmanarts.org/events/author_reading_with-jane-ashe/?

How can a parent find hope and peace in the unexpected death of a child?

Jane will be reading from her memoir, Firefly: Ashely’s Light, which addresses what she has discovered along the way of processing the sudden loss of her 22-year-old daughter, Ashley, who died in a flash flood while trekking in the Indian Himalayan mountains. Unexpected events before, during, and after the search for Ashley unraveled some answers to Jane’s lifelong search for what is real. Surprising gifts along the way helped bring hope in trying to resolve a death where Jane could not see, be with, or say goodbye to one she loves.

Following the reading and presentation, Jane will answer questions from the audience and sign copies of her book, which Jane will have available for purchase at the event.

About:
Jane Ashe is a retired hospital chaplain, embracing all spiritual paths that lead to love and peace. As an ordained deacon in the Presbyterian Church (USA), she has facilitated grief groups for nine years. She has an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University NW. After twenty years working in corporate marketing, she obtained a Master of Pastoral Studies from Seattle University to become a chaplain.

Jane is the cousin of long-time Manzanita resident, Julianne Johnson, who was a friend of Lloyd and Myrtle Hoffman and witnessed their community engagement, which culminated in the Hoffman Center for the Arts.

I am looking for a vegetable spiralizer. The Kitchenaid spiralizer is too expensive at $129 brand new. I see manual plastic one’s for $39ish but worry how they will stand up. I don’t want to spend a lot to try something out. If there is anyone with one sitting in their cupboard that you are not using make me a deal! I just found a mandolin slicer at the Hope Chest for $4 so don’t need that option. Call Jan 503-440-8696. Thanks for your consideration.

mind-reading is very much already here. I hear ‘their’ A.I. already reads minds via ‘smart’ phones and processes a lot of the info on their big super computers. To what end I don’t know, I wasn’t invited to that meeting, but I don’t trust any of these tech-billionaire psychos.

This telepathic/telepathy stuff the tech bros are selling (first to special needs folks – cuz all them billionaires are philanthropists don’t ya know! – and then to the rest of us), works in reverse. Yes, ‘they’ can read our minds via our phones. 


Already here folks, has been for quite some time methinks, as ‘they’ are generally ahead of us by 20-30 years with tech.

And if ‘they’ can get the nanotech in us via vaccines, food, aerial spraying, etc., they will be able to take complete control our minds and make us think stuff, and do stuff.

Do they already? Idk…

And we spent the last four years worrying about what pronouns to use! Doh!

150 year old Ivory Rose Pendant

This ivory rose pendant belonged to my Great Grandmother, who was from Romania. It was passed down to my Grandmother and then my Mother. I am downsizing and hoping to find a new home for this exquisite piece. Measures 2″ x 2″.

There are many cheap copies online. This link refers to a piece very similar to my G-Grandmothers:

Original Camille Pissarro etching, 1891

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: lynnleveringthomas@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
From my mother’s estate, purchased in 1981, an original Camille Pissarro etching, 3/530, dated 1891. This is the famous “Marche aux Legumes, a Pontoise”.

Medium: original etching and aquatint with drypoint. Catalogue reference: Delteil 97. Executed in 1891, this is from the edition on cream wove paper published in 1923 for inclusion in the Loys Delteil catalogue raisonne “Le peintre-graveur illustre. Measures 12 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches (318 x 235 mm).

My mother paid $1200 in 1981. The current price is anywhere from $850-$2000. The lesser priced etchings do not come with a certificate of authenticity, as this print does.

I am asking $300. There is a lovely frame that comes with the print. Can send a photo of the frame if requested. The linen matting will need to be replaced.

As a side note, the Portland Art Museum also holds one of these etchings in its Vivian and Gordon Gilkey collection.
