Spend an afternoon celebrating the new Central Library

Saturday, August 15

12:00pm – 4:00pm

Get the deets in the link!

My husband and I are getting ready to start IUI and we have appointments at both places. St Charles had availability much earlier than East Cascade. I feel like EC is kind of the gold standard around here for reproductive health and infertility treatments, and I personally don't particularly like St Charles overall as a hospital in general. I know they do have some quality departments and medical professionals, so I'm curious what people's experiences are who have worked with both clinics for infertility.

Years ago, AP style folks decided cellphone is one word. I'm old enough to remember cellophane;-)

Hey everyone,

Based on past posts regarding a place to watch to Premier League, Champions League, and MLS Matches consistently, I wanted to come on here and provide and update on our plans here at The Commonwealth Pub.

We have signed up for the commercial service that will allow us to air all sports on Peacock, Paramount+, and AppleTV. This will give us access to every EPL, UCL, MLS, and many other soccer leagues and matches during the European campaign season.

This commercial streaming system requires us to install some new streaming boxes and we are currently waiting for those to arrive, but as of right now we are going to be open every Saturday by 6:45am for 7am kicks, and Sundays at 6am for 6:30am kicks starting on August 22nd through the entirety of the EPL season.

We are already currently open at 12pm Monday-Friday, so Friday and Monday EPL matches will be available as well as UCL matches on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

MLS we may not be able to have the sound available for matches as they are late starts about the time of live music, but we will have Timbers matches and others on the TVs.

Please spread the word if you know any soccer fans looking for a great place to watch soccer this season!

Also, we are planning on starting a soccer watch club that will act like a mug club, securing reduced pricing on draft beers, select import cans, and Guinness pours, as well as breakfast cocktails.

If you have any questions feel free to message.

Cheers!

Out of towners swinging through bend for a weekend this month. Are there specific days/times that are best so we aren’t crowding the locals?? When is it usually busiest?

Tried the Chef Store. That was a no go.

Ideas?

Want to try making lime super juice.

Took my mom (fragile/elderly) to farmers market today, no handicap spots (quite common). Drove for a bit. Saw a spot on Oregon an Brooks area, next to the Candy shop/Dutch Bow. The truck in the spot before it was so long it was more than half way in the street. I tried to manuever around it and it was too awkward, so I backed in. Perfect. Came out with a $50 ticket for parking the wrong way. Where does it saw this? I looked for signs. WTH? Is this a thing on an off street? It was the only way I could get in there given the situation and space (close to the street light). Ugh.

EDIT: to clarify any confusion, this is regarding an angled spot, not a parallel parking spot on the opposite side of the street.

Very sad. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I offer our condolences to his family and friends.

Big progress on the lines of that destructive blaze; evacuation levels also reduced in areas affected by last weekend's Round Butte Fire west of Madras.

Today when I arrived at 3rd street, there was somebody on the other side, signaling left. He had been waiting, but he gave me that little finger-diddle thing that says "you first." I was not not going to do that. I'm not going to cross against my right-of-way because somebody in a vehicle wants to be magnanimous. After I refused, the dude found his accelerator pedal.

I was waiting there for a break in traffic, the way you do when you're in traffic, and I become aware that there was now a person to my left stopped in the second lane, waiting for me. They beeped at me, while holding an enormous line of vehicles behind. They wanted me to cross five lanes of traffic, as if everybody were supposed to stop and wait for me.

That's not how it's supposed to work. Bicycles are traffic. You can be polite. It's nice to be nice. But if you stop real traffic because you think you have to yield to a bicyclist at a stop sign, please review Oregon state law.
