What Does Conscious Aging Mean to You?

Join us for a conversation about what inspires you and helps you through your aging journey.

We’ll offer thoughtful quotes from a number of sources and from wise people through the ages, as prompts for discussion. In small groups, we will discuss what it means to age mindfully — maybe even with grace, humor and equanimity. Then, all together, we’ll exchange ideas and our combined wisdom. You are encouraged to bring quotes, poems or words of wisdom that inspire you to stay awake to how your life is unfolding.

Your $5 donation at the door supports the Pine Grove Community House.

NOTE:
We announced that we planned to show the film, Wine, Women and Dementia for our March event. Unfortunately, we find we do not have the right to show this film publicly. We encourage you to look for the film though PBS, where it is available to stream at home.

3-Ring White Binders

Do you have any 3-ring white binders, 1” to 2” wide, that you would be willing to donate to International Police Museum in Rockaway?
I think I have depleted all the area thrift shops. If you could drop them off that would be most awesome but I can pick them up if they are in Rockaway.

You will be helping me control the chaos I call my desk at International Police Museum, 320 Hwy 101-S.

Thank you so much, and please come visit after March 7 when we reopen!!

TOURISM SURVEY: Oregon Resident Sentiment Survey – Responses Needed from the Oregon Coast

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
By Lynnee Jacks, Industry Communications & Engagement Manager, Oregon Coast Visitors Association (OCVA)

Take the survey today and be part of shaping the future of Oregon tourism.
Survey link
selfserve.decipherinc.com/survey/selfserve/38ba/260202?list=15#?

Every two years, when the Resident Sentiment Survey is released, the Oregon Coast consistently leads the state in participation. This is a reflection of how deeply our communities care about shaping the future of resilient tourism. With your support in 2024, nearly 7,000 Oregonians across the state shared their perspectives.

The time has come to collect feedback from residents again—at a moment when new research, including a recent snapshot from the OSU Sustainable Tourism Lab, reminds us that resident sentiment is nuanced, bipartisan, and more important than ever to understand clearly.

About the Survey
The Resident Sentiment Survey, conducted by Travel Oregon, asks Oregon residents about their experiences with and perspectives on tourism. Feedback helps guide strategies that support responsible travel and resilient communities, ensuring tourism benefits both residents and visitors alike. The survey is short, anonymous, and open until March 31, 2026—and participants are entered to win up to $1,000 in Amazon gift cards.
How to participate and share:

Take the survey
selfserve.decipherinc.com/survey/selfserve/38ba/260202?list=15#?

Visit or share the Travel Oregon industry site landing page for more details and to see last year’s results

Post on social media:
Here’s a sample post you can use:
ARE YOU AN OREGON RESIDENT? [INSERT ORGANIZATION NAME] needs your help. In partnership with Travel Oregon, we want to hear your perspective on tourism across the state as we work to improve the lives of all Oregonians. Fill out a short, anonymous survey from Travel Oregon by March 31, 2026, and be entered to win up to $1,000 in Amazon gift cards. Your feedback will help encourage responsible travel practices and shape the future of tourism in your community.

Why it matters (and why resident sentiment might surprise you):
Resident perspectives aren’t always as straightforward as they might seem. The OSU Sustainable Tourism Lab’s new One-Pager on bipartisan support for tourism offers a glimpse into how Oregonians across political affiliations weigh tourism’s benefits and costs. With tourism-related legislation on the rise, this snapshot helps explain why some residents support new initiatives while others are more cautious.

research.osusustainabletourismlab.com/bipartisan

The results show that liberals and conservatives show similar levels of support—about 47–48% say the benefits of tourism outweigh the costs—but moderate residents display the most variation in how they perceive tourism’s impacts. In other words, while tourism enjoys broad support across the political spectrum, the conversation is nuanced. Most residents aren’t simply “for” or “against” tourism—they’re weighing tradeoffs, thinking about their communities, and looking for solutions that balance growth with livability.

Why our voices matter:
For industry and civic leaders, and for residents filling out this year’s survey, the lesson is clear: your voice shapes the conversation.

High participation is especially important from smaller, less dense communities like those on the Oregon Coast, where local perspectives often differ from larger urban areas. By sharing your views, you help ensure that strategies for tourism reflect the needs, priorities, and values of those who call Oregon home.

A Month Dedicated to History

Submitted By: jettkeyser@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The thing about a new piece of writing is that it may feel done but in the days to come it will change in important ways. This piece is now 2 days old.

Together

Turning into another sunrise

with thoughts of my mother

and her beautiful gift, a silk

tie from Save the Children.

Almost weightless, it rests

draped over my shoulders,

a vestment and perennial vision.

Offering hope, white clouds

drift and pass as flowers rise up

in every color, a venerable tree

brings its sweet, ripening fruit,

the sun too offers what it can

warming a spring field where

two children are standing

together, joyfully tethered

to a kite and the sky in wonder.

One is dark the other is light.

As I return to remember and

recognize what is imperfect,

I cherish what continues to grow.

Senator Ron Wyden’s Epstein Connections

Submitted By: stayhuman@tutamail.com – Click to email about this post
A huge chunk of the FBI’s files on Jeffery Epstein have been made public.
But none of the files from 1999 – 2001, the lead-up to 9/11, which saw Israeli Judeo-fascists, American Christo-fascists, and criminal elements within the US military fly planes into and then blow-up three WTC complex buildings in lower Manhattan, all in service of Israel’s expansionist ‘Greater Israel’ plans.
The collapse of WTC #7 was so obviously a demolition – it was NOT hit by a plane, yet it collapsed into its own footprint, just like WTC#1 and WTC#2 – that the so-called intelligence agencies have all but scrubbed footage of the collapse of WTC #7 from the internet. (try and find it!)
Epstein, one of Israel’s top Mossad agents, was very active during the years leading up to 9/11. Those files have not been shared by the Drumf Crime Family and may never be shared with the public.
As ranking member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, you can bet your arse that Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, Oregon’s biggest fraud, has seen those files. Or more likely in my view, the Israel-first America-second Israeli-citizen Wyden was aware of Epstein’s crimes in real-time.
Here is a list of the committee members, who are also some of America’s most pro-Palestinian genocide, pro-war and treasonous members of congress:
www.intelligence.senate.gov/about-the-committee/committee-members/
Jeffery Epstein was operated deep inside academia (he had an office at Israel-friendly Harvard), science, tech, banking, gun-running, child-trafficking, billionaire wife-making and blackmail – ALL FOR ISRAEL.
And that is why the yard signs you see calling to STOP ARMING ISRAEL have been erected in vain. Huge swaths of Congress have been blackmailed by Israel.
Ron Wyden is the ranking member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. HE KNOWS FULL WELL ALL OF EPSTEIN’S CRIMES AND BLACKMAIL OPERATIONS!!!!
Whitney Webb is THE journalistic authority on Epstein’s criminal network that not only includes Israel-first Ron Wyden (who provides cover with bogus investigations and more), but Bill Clinton (more involved in the sex crimes) and Donald Drumf (more involved with the financial crimes) and many, many more ‘high-ranking’ (actually the lowest of the low) members of the American political, banking, and science/tech sectors.
Whitney wrote a book years ago called One Nation Under Blackmail. She is the most important journalist of our time in my view.
Here she is being interviewed by Glenn Beck (ignore Glenn):

It is my contention that the ranking member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence knows everything that Whitney addresses in the phenomenal interview above.
We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Virginia Guffre (maiden name Roberts) for exposing Epstein. Guffre is the one who was repeatedly raped by Prince Andrew, who was arrested two days ago. (HELL YES!!!!!!!!) She was also brutally raped by Ehud Barak (former premier of Israel), who maintained a NYC residence a few blocks from Epstein’s luxurious rape-pad, which was given to him by Mossad agent and CEO of The Gap, The Limited and Victoria’s Secret Les Wexner.
Virginia is now dead, murdered last year in Australia, where she lived with her husband and children. First, the Mossad or M16 (in my view) attempted to conduct an “RCA”, or Remote-Controlled Assassination. A school bus hit her at 60 MPH while she was stopped. But that didn’t kill her. And after she posted that she was not suicidal, she was suicided, or so it appears.
Whatever the case, Virginia is dead. Thank you for having the courage to stand up to these Judeo-fascist and Christo-fascist Israel-first monsters Virginia! I hope HEAVEN finds you happy!!!!!!!
Virginia also inspired Anneke Lucas, now in her 60s, to speak out. Here is Anneke doing an incredible interview on the PBD podcast. (ignore Patrick):

It is my contention that Israel-first Ron Wyden has known about the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein all along, and his fake investigations into Epstein’s financing of child trafficking actually provided cover for Epstein’s crimes; smoke and mirrors. Ron Wyden supports Israeli genocide in Palestine, ALWAYS supports arms sales to Israel, and I bet ya a sawbuck he will support Israel and Drumf’s upcoming attempted genocide of Iran. Wyden is a PRO-WAR ANTI-PRIVACY FRAUD!!!!
Epstein is Israel’s number one Mossad asset. If you support Israel, you support Epstein. They are one and the same.
Are there any independents out there that can run against Wyden and help get him OUT OF OFFICE? Personally, I don’t see any Republicans in Oregon that can beat him.
The above is my two cents. If you disagree, please share those concerns on this forum, as I will NOT be reading the low-IQ hate mail this post is sure to generate.
In closing, the news below is 3 HOURS OLD!!! Massie, in my view, is one of the greatest American patriots of all time. That’s why the anti-American organized crime figures Drumf and Vance hate him:

TEP is seeking volunteers to assist with transplanting seedlings that will help restore riparian habitats. By transplanting these seedlings, we can help them grow into strong, resilient plants that stand a better chance of thriving in the wild. Some species that we’ll be transplanting are Western red cedar, pacific crabapple, and evergreen huckleberry.

The events will be held on Fridays, February through March, and will take place at TEP’s Native Plant Nursery located on the Port of Tillamook. Volunteers will be given a brief training and then let loose to help transplant seedlings into bigger pots.

We’re excited to chat with you over a transplanting station!

Steve, a German Shorthaired Pointer Puppy needs a home

Submitted By: ericpetrie4@aol.com – Click to email about this post
Steve is one of a litter of 10 GSP puppies and is 10 weeks old. His tail has been docked, dew claws removed, had his first vet exam, first shots and has been wormed. He comes from purebred field championship bloodlines and has beautiful markings (solid liver head, bright white background) and has a super intelligent disposition. The other homes who have been interested in him just haven’t been the right place, so he’s available at no cost to the ride home. Is that Home yours? Don’t miss your chance to own the best dog you’ll ever have. He’s already minding me and fitting in well with my three dogs so he’s in a good place until he finds his home. If you’re interested in this guy call Rick at 503-863-6946 or email ericpetrie4@aol.com. If you have friends, neighbors or relatives who might be interested forward on my information if you would be so kind. Steve deserves to go to a really good home, maybe that could be your home.
Thanks BBQ for helping to place Steve’s brothers and sisters in good homes.

Senators Merkley and Wyden virtual town hall Feb 24 2:30-3:30

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
From Senator Merkley

Dear Barbara,

After a year in office, Trump has made America sicker and poorer.

We know that Trump says one thing and does another. He promised to lower costs on day one and help working people, but he’s only helped the rich and powerful. It’s red tape for working families and the red carpet for billionaires.

Senator Wyden and I will be speaking with Oregonians during a virtual town hall from 2:30-3:30 pm PT on Tuesday, February 24.

I hope you’ll join us! If you have a question for Senator Wyden and me, you can submit it at this link.

docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFKAPSHvntYZDREE8cCJiiP3KEhHaAwNNv2r1zEwq6BxYDXQ/viewform
