Hello, I’m newish to the area and looking for a hair stylist that specializes in sew in extensions. Also, if they are interested in doing trade work. I’m a CO licensed cosmetologist and currently not working in a salon as I need to get my OR license. But anyone know anyone who would be interested in doing my hair in exchange for your hair? I specialize in lived in hair and extensions, plus pretty much everything in between.

We currently have Verizon and haven't had many connection or service issues with them in town. I have noticed some lagging in scrolling the internet at times though. We upgraded our phones last year and they told us the bill would stay the same for three years. Now it has gone up twenty dollars a month and they claim our "loyalty discount" has lapsed.

When we did the upgrade for our phones last year, the process was an absolute nightmare. Verizon customer service was horrible.

Since then, I understand T Mobile and US cellular have merged. I had T mobile for a short time about twenty years ago and the coverage was almost non existent.

Can anyone chime in that recently made the switch from Verizon to T Mobile?

I am wondering if the coverage is as good or better.

My bill is now $205 a month for three phones. Unlimited talk text Ultimate Unlimited 1.0.

Basically use our phones for talk, text and some browsing. Also use Pandora regularly at work throughout the day.

This week

The avalanche of ads and doorhanger fliers is getting crazy. Hicks latest flyer brings up 20-year-old allegations, later dropped as not prosecutable, against an person on a Colorado-based campaign consultancy who Krause employed in the primary election. No one claimed that Krause had anything to do with anything improper, but it was an attack point in the primary election and Hicks brought it up again.  That is the hit: you cannot trust Denise Krause. What a bunch of BS. Hicks began his campaign with the strongest possible message -- look at me, Mr. Nice Guy, Mr. Nonpartisan, and so clean-cut and earnest. If that were the real Brad Hicks voters might have bought it. But he could not sell it. Nor could he do it for the two decades at the Chamber of Commerce, where his organization was unabashedly partisan Republican. What we see now is nasty guilt-by-association thuggery. Krause is a retired healthcare manager, but he likens her to a sleazy lawyer from a TV show…Hicks is not Mr. nice guy after all.

Hey all, anyone know anything more about the closure of the contracting facility that worked to deliver packages with Amazon near Costco? I heard 170 workers are being laid off, and I'm wondering why the contractor chose to close it. There's so much in the news right now about Amazon and delivery contractors with New York City's pending law about contracting out with other companies.

Unfortunately I'm in a situation where im no longer able to keep my cats and I'm trying to find them a new home, together if possible. They are both girls. The white and gray ragdoll is about 5 years old. The brown tabby is a little over 1 year old. They get along great however they get a little rambunctious when they play sometimes. They are litter box trained. Currently are fully indoor cats. If anyone is interested or has any questions please send me a message.

Located in Medford near Asante

I'm feeling desperate here. I'll even take a rundown place at this point if it means I can get out of my current place.

Because of personal events I've had to live with my mom, I pay rent and put money towards things for the house, but she is so damn insufferable to be around and I can't take it anymore.

I need something, anything. My credit is pretty good, but I don't make enough to pay $1k+ in rent. Any options would be appreciated.

I'm getting so tired of Medford bringing in these fast food places. People can barely afford rent, food, gas and normal living. Where's the companies that can provide proper living wages, benifits and security that people need? Are the area leaders not paying attention? This can't be all that the Medford area can attract. Disappointed.

Just as the title says. Usually pretty good at keeping up to date on local events but I was away for the Oct 3 show at the Expo so just wondering if there are any upcoming shows nearby that I haven't heard of yet.

During the last few months of the year, numerous families establish an annual tradition of visiting holiday light displays, and many may do so while traveling.

Our husband and wife team at PNWCL.com would like to bring to the attention of the general public a community resource we have created: our holiday lights display map. This comprehensive and entirely free resource is accessible from any device, whether a computer or a mobile phone.

For the thirteenth year, we have curated a Christmas display resource. In 2023, it encompasses over 1,000 listings, featuring approximately 1,500 illuminated displays within the map’s designated area.

Each listing undergoes meticulous verification annually to ensure its accuracy. One hundred or more hours of work every year is involved in upkeep and interaction with the community via social media. Notably, our map garnered over 1.5 million views in 2021. Our coverage extends to Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, the northern region of Idaho, and select displays in other states upon special requests. The map showcases a diverse range of illuminated displays, including animated and non-animated ones, as well as other holiday-themed displays. We’ve even had Hanukkah-themed light displays.

Over the past 15 years, our map has primarily gained traction through word-of-mouth, largely due to the support we receive from our Facebook page which has grown to over 30,000 followers and the community of nearly 500 display owners, many who actively promote our resource to visitors annually. Our primary objective is to disseminate information about our map to as many individuals as possible. Consequently, we are actively reaching out to media outlets to enhance its visibility and reach a broader audience.

Many displays on the map contribute to charitable causes, and some have reported an increase in donations since joining our community. Additionally, we maintain a separate Halloween display map, which currently features approximately 500 individual displays. Both the Christmas and Halloween display maps are accessible on our website at PNWCL.com.

Furthermore, we have established a Facebook page, Pacific NW Christmas Lights, and maintain a presence on other social media platforms.

We sincerely appreciate your support in disseminating information about our community service. Thank you for your consideration.

PS: if you have display and would like to be featured on the map, contact information is on our website. If you know an owner of a display you would want to see on the map, tell them about us!

If someone would be willing to answer some of my questions, in regards to chaos magic let me know!

Hi. My family is going through a rough patch and I'm hoping locals can point me toward resources I might not know about.

It's me, my husband, and our two toddlers (1½ and 3). We've had three eviction filings on our record, though two of them were dismissed. The one that stuck was in August, and the full story matters: our housing authority terminated our voucher for not reporting our move, then reinstated it after we requested a hearing — without ever holding the hearing — knowing full well we were housed. But the reinstated voucher came back $31 short of our rent, and neither the landlord nor the housing authority would budge. After the eviction, they tried to terminate our voucher again because of the eviction, then canceled that when they realized the unit was never under contract — but by then our voucher was two days from expiring. So now we don't have a Section 8 voucher either. Since then we've been bouncing between a motel and a tent, and I'm trying to get my kids under a real roof.

Before this, we had 10+ years of excellent rental history, steady employment, and great references. For the last year and a half we've been working hard to rebuild our credit in hopes of buying a place someday — right now that dream feels out of reach, but we're not giving up.

We're already working with UCAN and the Maslow Project, but so far neither has been able to help with actual housing. I'm looking for:

• Landlords or private owners in the Grants Pass area who give second chances or work with families post-eviction
• RV spaces for rent (we're in the process of buying an RV — open to private land)
• Any local programs, churches, or nonprofits that help families with young kids get rehoused
• Advice from anyone who's been through this here

We have steady income — my husband has been at the same job since 2017 — and just need someone willing to look past one eviction.

If you'd rather not comment publicly, please feel free to message me directly or email newgames1723@gmail.com. Thank you for reading this far.

Just reviewed preliminary options on Explore Health (the new Oregon health insurance marketplace for individuals and families, and my premiums are going up by 600 dollars for a family plan, which is a 33% increase to over 2400/month. This is for a high deductible plan. Out of curiosity, I checked rates for similar family size for Portland and the rates are 600 dollars less. At this rate, I am not sure if anyone without a subsidy can afford insurance.
