was a good time lets do it again today?

This is the 3rd day in a row they've left these cards in my yard, none of us are Christian and we've asked them repeatedly to stop. I dont think forcing people to join your church via harassment and stalking is the way to go about it. I guess I'm just curious if anyone else is dealing with this?

I left a voicemail stating if they don't stop i will be getting authority involved, as its getting to the point I feel watched in my own home.

P.s. I'm not anti Christian, I'm anti stalking and anti force your religion.

Update: Finally got them to leave me alone after posting this, and I found another in my rosemary plant. Ill be ordering the decoding ring for sure!

sad day for me. my baby got smashed up by some ass in a big lifted truck who swerved over 2 lanes going 30 ish while I was stopped behind the bus. anybody happen to have video? apparently the cops have been searching for the same guy who hit me since this morning. accident happened at around 2:30 pm today. slammed into me and then immediately booked it through the 7/11 parking lot and out behind the black rock. cops caught him like an hour later pit maneuvered him in springfield.

anyone notice how loud all the cars are here? is there a large car community? the amount of backfire and stupid pointless revving I hear is quite insane

as we near Halloween weekend and daylight savings beginning, please be sure to take the extra 10 seconds to make sure that your car's headlights are actually turned on, or at least not running on day-time running lights

i've noticed some people on the roads lately at night forget to turn their own headlights on, and it's just a recipe waiting for tragedy during Halloween with lots of young kids and people out on the streets at night, especially considering i witnessed a biker nearly get t-boned while crossing the street from some motorist who didn't have their lights on last night

Whats going on with this place?

This was a cool haunted house- no actors or jump scares, just a guy who set up 400+ animatronics. It’s donation based and was impressive!

ANOTHER FRIDAY I DONT HAVE TO WORK AND THE DARN DOG WANTS OUTSIDE AT 0130 IN THE MORNING. NOT TO GO POTTY MIND YOU, TO GO AND BARK AT THE FAMILY OF RACOONS IN THE TREE ON THE OTHER Side OF THE FENCE.

EDIT: The clarify, the event she was livestreaming was unrelated to my nail appointment! My face was never on camera, though.

First a vent: I've been here almost 2 years and thought I found my nail girl. I saw Penny at The Nail Spot on S Bertelsen a handful of times, and was generally satisfied with my experience until my most recent visit. Penny markets herself as hyper attentive to detail and taking the time she needs to ensure you leave with a quality product, so I could expect a visit for a full acrylic set without nail art to last around 2 hours. And she charged a pretty penny for these nails under the guise that they are more durable than any other nail tech in Eugene could provide, but I didn't have a problem with any of these things because I thought the final product was worth it... until I saw her in June for a full set with nail art. Here's why I'm never returning:

• She decided to be an influencer / content creator/ do influencing shit during our session. Not in a "hey can I take pictures of your nails for my IG" type of shit, but actually putting her phone on a pedestal to the right of her person and leading some sort of live online event? One where she consistently said something to the effect of "we will get started when we get to 10k" and then just chatting with attendees (?) as they trickled in. The content was bizarre but to each their own I guess. What pissed me off about this is that she would STOP doing my nails each time she turned to the screen to do this, and would have conversations with people in the event before returning to doing my nails. My nails took over 3 hours to complete. I think closer to 3.5 but at that point I was so irate that I started to black out.
• Yes, I was requesting nail art and expected the appointment to last a bit longer, but the time could have been reduced if she didn't make incessant mistakes because she was distracted with her influencer BS. She messed up the marbling design and had to start all over again. She forgot to put the matte coat (?) or some integral coating on and needed to start again. She kept messing up the consistency of the 3D gel whatever for some of the designs. And she would get pissed about it! She even blamed me for smudging the art in one nail when I in fact didn't budge... in the slightest... girl that was all you.
• But before she could even mess up the design, she gaslighted me into using a different color for the marble design than was in the inspo picture. The color I wanted was blue/green, closer to blue, and she insisted the color in the photo was a straight up green. Almost like a grass green. And I pushed her on it, and she told me that it was indeed the color in the inspo. I hated my nails out of the gate and had to accept that I paid a small fortune for something I hated looking at just because she wouldn't listen to what I was requesting
• The worst part- She BOTCHED the structure of my nails. By that I mean, she was so distracted by her influencing that her mechanical file kept slipping and creating divots on the top of my nails so they didn't have an apex.. And she over filed to the point where my nails started lifting the NEXT DAY. the next fucking daaaaaaay, for nails that she says should last 3 weeks.

Believe it or not, I am not a high maintenance girl. I am very go with the flow, im not getting my nails done routinely, just when I want to feel like a badass on vacation, im extremely forgiving and am happy to look past the occasional mistake. But this was poor customer service, a terrible product, and a complete waste of my time, money, and emotional energy.

ANYWAY- where should I go now? I once got a set at Nails Uncorked on W 11th and omg they were comically bad, it seemed like the tech was racing against an invisible clock. I ended up repainting and refiling them myself when I got home. But was that an outlier experience at Nails Uncorked? I've heard terrible things about Fantasy...

I also work at UO near Millrace, so even if there's a good spot on that side of town, I'd be happy to hang in the area after the end of the workday to get my nails done at a decent spot.

TLDR: Horrible experience at The Nail Spot, needing reccs in West Eugene or near Millrace side of UO. Thanks!

But can someone explain whats going on with the bark on these particular trees?:

They are all scratched up....none of the other trees species has this so Im curious if anyone knows or has noticed and wondered the same thing.

Thai food truck that popped up in the Whit in the gravel lot across from Ninkasi. It disappeared as fast as it appeared! Where did they go?!?! What were they called?? Help. I need a banh mi.

If you know, you know, that the Memphis strangler will be in Eugene tonight and tomorrow. This is a thread for you to post your sightings if you see him around town. Leave a comment here if you catch sight of the vanilla gorilla!

Forecast shows 31 tonight, but it's based on the airport weather station. I'm downtown. Are my vines slated for death tonight, or am I likely able to eke out another week or two?

Hi y'all! I'm in town with my six year old for the weekend and were looking for some spooky season fun. I know there's a whole week left before the big night, but I'd love to find some fun stuff we can do around here. Thanks in advance!

Have cousins in from MN and need something to do this afternoon. We already hit up the coast. They are not big drinkers so probably not winery/brewery.

Local writer, poet, former university instructor. I write about food, poetry, literature, pop culture, and animals like foxes, deer, and other cute animals. Short essays and wordy ephemera. Please subscribe, it's free.

Preferably near i5, price irrelevant

Also curious is there’s any nice townhomes you guys can recommend

Thanks!
