There are a ton of haunted places. Start with this book in the link. Don’t get it from Amazon — you can get it at The Bat Cave on Mill Plain next to Chucks.

He’s now posting it on Offerup.

He changed his story and is now claiming the engine was replaced with a newer one a year ago. Funny since he bought it a week ago and I never replaced the engine in the many many years that I owned it!
I’ve reported the post and seller. Hopefully this one gets taken down too. Are there any other selling sites I should be looking at?
Get Advion gel for ants from Amazon. Put a 3 inch line on pieces of aluminum foil (to allow it to be cleaned up) near where you see the ants. They will cluster on it for about 2 days, then disappear.

Explain please.
Find a rental home through Craigslist, Padmapper, Facebook Marketplace, Facebook Groups and just exclude anything that is through a company. It's not too hard, just a different set of rules to get used to. I haven't lived in a apartment or home that's not through a private owner since I was in college. Use your common sense and don't sign or pay for anything without being sure about who the landlord is, and that all their ducks are in a row. Craigslist does have an issue with scammers trying to take deposits before they even give you keys type shit.
It depends. Some areas of the city are served and some are not. Enter your address here:

Regardless of the solution (including poison) the source of food needs to be removed or you will just be fighting it forever. The best solution we found that actually worked was an automated chicken feeder so that the food was not available for the rats whenever they wanted it. Point being that unless the kitchen scraps are put out regularly, the rats are probably attracted to the chicken feed if it is always accessible. We used a $30 deer feeder attached to a 5 gallon bucket. I know they are the neighbor's chickens but mayhap a gift of a new timed feeder would be helpful? Here's what we used. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EYIPLC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When your upstream is higher than your downstream (and I've got nothing else using the connection right now), you know something is up. I'm on their gigabit plan and usually test around 950/40. Have noticed poor speeds since school started this week. Suspect we are all experiencing capacity issues
I found a site that allows for anonymous calendar coordination, so I made a calendar here - please put in what works for your schedule:
We got ours from Amazon.
ABCwaters built Fleck 5600sxt 48,000 WATER SOFTENER with Upgraded 10% Resin + UPFLOW CARBON Filtration - Complete Whole House System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCCF9TR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ouVUx9OIjZR7B Just found a local plumber to install it
I used a topper from this company to put on my existing 6' wooden fence in the back. Then I got a few bags of pea gravel to fill in around the bottom of the fence so he couldn't get under either. It's been about 2 years now and we've gone from him getting out every few months to not at all.
I also got Tiles to put on collars. Cats almost never leave your general neighborhood, so a Tile had all the range I need. I have them on all 4 of my cats just in case, even though the other 3 have zero interest in exploring the great outdoors.
I'm sorry your tail light got broken, that really does suck and I would be incredibly pissed if someone was messing with my car.
That being said, no need to go through insurance for something like this. I don't know which light is broken but its easy to change and fairly cheap to get the part. Good luck!

This is going to sound kind of weird, but as an avid backpacker and walk around the neighborhooder, I highly recommend getting yourself a pair of dance pants!
Private != small. Plenty of large brands in the private realm still. AirBnB, for example, is private and doesn't seem to require a degree
And even larger, publicly traded companies like Twitter don't necessarily require a degree
Meetup.com has been a good source for meeting people, for me. Personally I've also made several very good friends from OkCupid, as that seems to be what happens when I attempt to find dates, heh - I wind up meeting genuinely awesome people that I love spending time with don't necessarily feel a romantic spark for. ^_^
Good luck!
You can get one for a child if you have a sand or gravel pit to set it up in. My son had one of these when he was small.
Try Weather Underground: https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/wa/vancouver
At the top, click the "CHANGE " dropdown and select the station nearest you and you'll get damn close to real-time info.
Check weather radar. Wall of shit marching east towards us from the coast.

Just turn on the radar and do a 30x loop.
It's coming.
I have a forward facing and a separate rear facing -

and always combine with a high endurance sd card https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P4HBRMV
This brand also has a combination front and rear facing model. I wanted a higher resolution than the rear camera offers on that model though.
Right, you and I understand this, but for years vaccine has been used as the word for "thing to get so you don't get this disease, so the public at large get mixed signals because they don't care to know the difference. To the general public immunization and vaccine are synonyms.
Also, you're right in that the real problem is the death of the expert. Big recommend for this book if you're interested in the subject: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Expertise-Campaign-Established-Knowledge/dp/0190469412
I use Terro ant traps and I just buy them in bulk from amazon since they come back every year for me . But usually after laying out two traps they stop coming for the season .

When I got it the price was a little cheaper but maybe I had another discount applied or something. But it is a great deal and they were super professional. I am not a car pro or anything but I certainly did not feel like I was ripped off at all and the oil in my car was definitely full. I mean they have honest in their name so I hope they really are honest!
I'm a freelance photographer / writer / speaker who published a book on artificial intelligence and the future of photography. It released a few months ago but I haven't promoted it here before, so perhaps it's of interest.
If you make photos on your smartphone or with a bigger camera, you're using AI already, and it's going to impact how you do so in the future. I bet you'll find it an interesting subject to learn about.
I can't help with the fixing parts, but i I'm curious because my husband had bibs that the seam split on them and need repaired. But for water proofing use this product

We have used this once and it definitely helped, down side you practically have to use the whole bottle.
Vancouver, and the Portland Metro area in general seem like an odd choice to move to without at least visiting first. The weather here is grey and damp for most of the late fall and winter. Many people that move here aren't prepared for it.
>I am hoping to get into a market research analyst position. Is that a thing in the PDX-Vancouver area?
Start checking out job sites to see what the market for that kind of position is. For example, here's a search 50 miles around Vancouver.
>I am in treatment for anxiety and depression and thankfully have lost the suicidal tendency.
>I should mention at this point that I am trying to quit drinking. I feel like getting past that will make this other shit a lot more manageable.
I would also take the distance from your nearest support network (like friends and family) into consideration. It can be comforting to have people that know, love, and understand you close by and not all the way across the country. People here are nice, but not exactly friendly.
Since I have to drive from Vancouver to the coast for work a lot, I like use Windy. com, since it has tidal, wave, wind, precip, temp, and a whole host of other variables to look at. And it also has a 5-day forecast which helps plan the week.
Oh, no... I'm still wearing barefoot shoes.
I used the fancy shoes from Fleet Feet for walking/running on the treadmill at Orange Theory for about 6 weeks, then got a beautiful ~~hideous~~ pair of "Orange Theory" orange Merrell Vapor Glove barefoot shoes that I walked/ran in for almost a year. :D
The barefoot shoes have been phenomenal for me. I mentioned that I walked 2-4 miles per day on my old job - what I didn't mention before was that a very big chunk of that was on the hard granite floors at Denver International Airport.
The uppers on the Fleet Feet shoes were great - it's just that they were designed to cushion the impact of the heel strike you get when running...in a cushioned shoe. For normal walking, they felt like walking on really soft foam. After 10 years of walking (more or less) barefoot, it wasn't a great feeling to be on pillows, basically, and I missed feeling the solid ground under me.
I set the fancy Fleet Feet shoes (I think they were ON brand) aside 100% specifically because I didn't like how the heel strike felt to me while walking and running - not because they didn't fit or were uncomfortable.
(side note: when you run in barefoot shoes, you don't heel strike. You land on the ball of your foot, instead. Think about how kids run around when they're playing outside barefoot. It's like that.)
Here’s the deal, not all insoles are the same. Unfortunately, you have to drop some cash to get the good ones. A couple of years ago my friends in the service industry recommended Aetrex. I have high arches, they work for me. I stand and weld on concrete. They do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CS2GZ7G/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_BZHJ63Q200F85C4KDA1Y
Same with mine, so we settled on one without a hood. My dog wears this one. It is rainproof and most importantly it makes him really visible. Mine needs treats at regular intervals to keep going on a walk in the rain. Good luck with your pup! I’m sure that with persistence and some treats your dog will get used to rainy walkies.
Is your dog a toy breed? If you're just looking for engagement so he doesn't get bored and you can carry him, I'd get one of these space backpacks and a big umbrella and go on an adventure.
You could also look into snuffle mats for indoor engagement.
ebay/groupon actually had a good deal for a portable A/C for $199 but that shipping can be lengthy... I'd expect 1-2 weeks before you get it.

I don't think you're going to find any immediate relief however if you're looking at a brick and mortar and the ones you do will be expensive
In these modern times, you gotta ask that question?
UPS is hiring for the sunrise shift at their warehouse in Vancouver.
Haven't seen this mentioned yet, but one of those portable jump start boxes is a great thing to have all year, but they are especially nice in the winter because lower temps can really zap batteries.
I have one that's an air compressor, flash light, phone charger, and can jump start my car. Any one of those features could save you hours waiting on a tow or someone with jumper cables or even conceivably save your life if you get stuck in the wrong place.
For small trees I have watering bags that you can get online. Large trees the bucket idea works or I just put the hose at the base and let it trickle in for a while. Not full blast. https://www.amazon.com/Tree-Watering-Gallon-Release-Irrigation/dp/B07ZYCCQBB
You don’t need to spend $50 on guitar strings. Get these coated ones for $13
D’Addario EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Light, 12-53 – Offers a Warm, Bright and Well-Balanced Acoustic Tone and 4x Longer Life - With NY Steel for Strength and Pitch Stability https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002E3CJ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_TBAGV4ZN5PHKE2D2AMAH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Hi! I do natural treatment for acne at www.Redfernhealth.com. I'm a naturopathic doctor in private practice who uses hormone balance, mind-body techniques, and adrenal support to help the skin become more resilient and strong in the face of acne.
Currently, my mind-body book on acne is free on Kindle from 4/5-4/9. Please check it out if you're trying to improve the health of your skin and reclaim your life from this stubborn skin condition. Here's the link and description:
Acne: Just Another Four-Letter Word
Reclaim your life from acne.
Are you tired of wasting money and time on creams, pills, supplements, and diets that don't improve your acne? Maybe you've been dreaming of the day when a miracle product will appear that'll actually work. In the meantime, you've been frustrated by the ongoing battle with your skin and having to revolve your life around breakouts.
What the skincare and medical industries don't tell you is that the mind is a powerful tool that can help you defend your skin against acne, as well as boost your confidence and self-image. Why spend another second changing your whole routine around for acne when you can mentally and practically walk away from it, starting now?
Acne: Just Another Four-Letter Word is a book that will show you how to do just that. You'll learn how acne is not only a physical symptom, but also a bully that you can stand up to using a unique mind-body approach. Step by step, Dr. Patel explains how to separate your identity from acne, strengthen both your skin and social boundaries, and take back control of your life. Your full-time job shouldn't have to be tending to this four-letter word. Start writing your goodbye letter to acne today.
Just authored and published my first children’s book:

http://www.99w.com/ Tips for the Newberg drive in:
Gates open at 6:30pm.
There is always a double feature. They give you time to leave between the first and second movie. You can also move your car between shows (lots of people bolt after the first show..it gets really late..2nd movie starts around midnight).
Bring a portable am/fm radio. Don't tempt your car battery going dry. I purchased this Panasonic Am/FM radio from amazon and it does the trick. They broadcast on 96.5 FM
Sundays are the best nights to go due to everyone working next morning. I can't vouch for Thursdays. If you go Friday or Saturday, the following applies:
Get. There. Early. There will be a line around the corner of HWY 99 and Debroah Rd going so far as along Hayes St. You WILL say "holy shit look at this line..." . If you want a semi-decent spot once you're in, be in line NLT 5pm. If you think I'm blowing smoke, I guarantee if you show up at 6:30 you won't get in.
The concession line can be a test of patience. I highly suggest you bring your own. On the sold out weekend nights, we've watched people leave for popcorn and never come back. Just kidding...but still, 40 min waits in line? Not ok.
If you're coming in a hatchback (SUV, wagon, or the like) and plan on parking backwards to lay down in the cargo area, you will need to bring tie-down ropes or bungie cords to ensure your hatch doesn't raise past the roof of your vehicle. The people who are parked in the row behind you don't want to see your hatch. Be courteous.
Hope you have fun!
I'll still be buying and giving out candy. I don't expect nearly as much traffic as usual, but I do expect some and any amount of normalcy for these poor kids would be nice. My costume was already going to have a face mask and I'll be wearing disposable gloves. Only my youngest is interested in trick or treating at this point and he's going as one of those inflatable dinosaur costumes, which feels pretty safe as far as giving or receiving aerosols.
Update: I'm tapped out, but this is where I got my box a few months ago and according to Amazon they are still in stock with no delays. https://www.amazon.com/AIRx-ALLERGY-16x20x1-Pleated-Filter/dp/B01ICSFK2Y?pd_rd_w=Y0osd&pf_rd_p=e812d0ef-1b36-4f1a-82a0-c4ee9d6a45c4&pf_rd_r=ERN9E95FY7F6NF16YC34&pd_rd_r=5b7b3864-edfc-4e9d-8643-5bbfe61dfe5c&pd_rd_wg=swb2P&pd_rd_i=B01ICSFK2Y&ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_1_12_t
There are too many volunteer opportunities. If you want to get volunteer opportunities nearby you then I would like to suggest you to use My selfless act, where you can get too many volunteer opportunities and also you can meet inspirational people through volunteering. This is the platform where you can get volunteer opportunities and also you can share your selfless work on it.
I second the Costco cameras. They have some pretty good deals on systems right now, and a bunch of really obvious cameras would do wonders against this kind of stuff. Also, motion lights. I can't find the ones that I got, but they were similar to this. No wiring needed.
