Fosters needing forever homes

Thumbnail

91 Upvotes

These sweeties need their new families! My husband and I have fostered them for months and they’re ready to start their next chapters. I’ll list their short blurbs but I’m happy to send tons of photos and all of their info. We’ve had them for months, we know them very well. We’ll be particular about where they go to assure the right fit and not have them bounce around! Thank you for taking the time to look. Please reach out if you’re interested and help spread the word!

They get long great but I am not expecting them to go to a new home together, that would be incredible but not necessary for their happiness. They would do great in a home with another dog to play with and or someone who has experience with the breed!

Montgomery (Monty)-brindle neutered, UTD on shots, turned 1 in August, sweet cuddle bug boy, loves to play fetch, loves water, gentle with cats, great with other dogs, totally up for a hard hike and then lazy laid back nap for the rest of the day! 56-60 pounds

Spicy (Spicy Chicken) -black and white spots with brindle booty, UTD on shots, born on Christmas Eve, very snuggly Velcro girl, loves to sunbathe outside and always finds the sunspot in the house, loves water, loves to play fetch, has loved every dog she’s met, gentle with cats but curious, great recall, like to nap under the covers! 45 pounds

Something to do See Bat Boy the Musical this Halloween!

• Upvotes

Hey Eugenians! If you like weird musicals, campy horror, or live theatre you should check out our production of Bat Boy: the Musical.

It’s playing at the Opal Center in beautiful downtown Cottage Grove. Shows are Thursday through Saturday of Halloween weekend (Oct 29-31) and the following weekend (Nov 5-7).

Just a 25-30 min commute from town, and well worth it to see this piece of theatre that is not staged as often as I think it should be! Our cast features talented local performers in an intimate black-box venue.

Bat Boy is based on the ridiculous tabloid stories printed in the Weekly World News in the 90s! It explores what the Bat Boy’s life would be like if a regular family took him in and taught him how to be a man. The story is hilarious, heartfelt, and tragic.
It is NOT family friendly and we are recommending it for at least ages 14 and up.

More info and tickets here.

This truck just drove down a street and took out a power line on one of the duplexes. There isn't a brand on it, figure it must be a rental. Does anyone know what companies rent these out?

Measure 20-388 would charge large retailers a 2% fee on gross profits from Eugene sales to fund clean energy programs. Lookout Eugene-Springfield checked key claims from both campaigns, including whether the fee would raise prices and how retail plays into the city's climate pollution issues.

Social security scam alert.

• Upvotes

Several calls this morning from random different numbers claiming to be social security. I answered the last one. This individual claimed we had an appointment and missed it. Told me the numbers come up differently because sometimes they are routed from New York or Chicago. Uh huh. Sure. Told me we should have got a letter in the mail. Really. Hmmm. I asked which address. Because we moved a year ago and promptly updated that info at S.S office. He couldn’t tell me the old address. Said I needed to update at office. Or he could do it for me. Sure. I reported the scam to police and social security. He was convincing. I can see how a elderly person could fall for it.

Looking for a specific kind of pizza. Please help.

36 Upvotes

I've had ok pizza in Eugene, but I'm looking for old school crispy pizza. The kind that is flat, and sometimes has cornmeal on the bottom.

It's old school Pietro's style. Ciddicci's in Albany used to be great. Then it was not. Paddington's in Salem style. Wallery's in South Salem was so good, then they weren't. Shakey's, but they closed.

Abby's tried, but failed and costs nearly 50 bucks for a pie.

Do you have any recommendations?

I might just drive to Cottage Grove and order Pinocchio's, because it's really good and exactly what I like. I WAS JUST HOPING TO FIND THAT PIZZA HERE IN EUGENE.

Homelessness Disabled- Housing/Navigation help?

• Upvotes

I am severely disabled & unable to work- without ending up in the ER. Many stacked conditions so it doesn't take much usage of energy/stress before my body malfunctions.

I've been staying with my bestfriend unofficially(not on lease) but I have to find a new place to live. I only get $994 SSI income.

I was wondering what disability resources have been proven to help in navigating housing & acquiring it? I don't to waste time & energy just to realize an organization can't help.

I haven't been a regular cyclist in a long time though I used to be, but I didn't really care about getting cold and soggy buuut now I do. What do you wear that's water resistant and BREATHABLE? I wanna work commute and go on fun long rides, if that makes a difference in answers. Also bonus points for tips on riding in the rain as a glasses wearer! TIA!

Lost & Found Lost Bag on EMX

10 Upvotes

Shot in the dark, but if anybody that was on the 9pm EMX from Eugene station tonight (Oct 14th) that got off after Q street station would let me know something. If you saw anybody take a black Adidas drawstring bag off the front of the bus on the higher seats would you send me a DM? Ive already sent a lost and found request to LTD as well as reported my cards stolen so no fear of the person running them. Sadly the most they will get is free rides through next month unless said bag is recovered. I was so stupid and I NEVER leave without it.

Thank you advance my fellow Eugenians.

Is there anyone in town who can successfully grind this rail at the top, kickflip the gap, and continue the grind down the second section?

There's a substantial hill/runway at the top for building speed, I think it might even be possible with the right set of roller blades....

This probably gets posted all the time but I’m a college student (21) and I’m looking for a job. I’ve applied to so many places online that say they’re hiring but never get anything back (not even a no ??) and i’m going insane, does anyone know of anywhere that’s ACTUALLY hiring? 😭

News Eugene to seek up to $100 million from Legislature for airport expansion

The city of Eugene plans to request up to $100 million from the Legislature next year to help fund a planned Eugene Airport expansion.

The first phase of the expansion — adding 7,000 square feet of seating space to the Concourse A gates, remodeling restrooms and upgrading HVAC systems — is already funded and underway. But the bigger, more expensive second phase, which includes the construction of a third, eight-gate concourse, additional ticketing and airline office areas and an expanded baggage claim, needs funding.

Cheapest lunches?

75 Upvotes

I need your help! I know similar questions get asked a lot, but where are the cheapest lunches in town? Preferably quick. I’m thinking under 10$ - like a bean and cheese from burrito boy.

EDIT: Wow, I came back after an hour and there are tons of suggestions!! Thanks community and feel free to keep them coming. I super appreciate it 🙏 and for those saying to cook, I actually do cook quite a bit but sometimes I don’t have time or leftovers and I also have to drive around a lot for work so it helps to know where I can stop.
