Hello,

Here is a Kundalini support page.

Everyone knows what Kundalini is though, right?

If you don't think you know *everything* about it, this is a great page.

It offers a great service and there is a beautifully rendered,
musical animated video on the process of the Kundalini Awakening.

If you want to increase your healing abilities, raise your resonance, etc.. this is also a great place.

If you are interested in becoming a reiki master but can not afford to do so, check it out.

If you think reiki sucks, oh, do please check this out because the activation offered here
is at least 300% more effective than traditional Usui Reiki. :)

After spending time with my niece today and seeing how excited she was to see me and how sad she was to see me leave (she refused to hug me goodbye, but finally did when I promised I'd come back soon), I realized that I really want to spend more time with this little girl. I absolutely adore her.

So, I promised her that one of these days I would take her and we would spend a day together. Just the two of us. Thing is, I have no idea what to plan.

Details:
-She's three years old. So it absolutely has to be toddler friendly.
-I want it to be something we can do and engage in together. Not something where I let her run off and play and I watch her (so not Chuck E Cheese).
-Something not terribly expensive. As much as I want to completely spoil this child, I can't afford to too much.


So DP, any advice on having an Auntie-Niece bonding day?

ETA: I need it to be indoors or at the very least covered. I don't want to have a wet and cold three year old on my hands.

Hey DP. Two questions for you tonight:

1. I have some books to get rid of. I was planning to sell some to Powells, but I know they won't take them all because some have highlighting in them, a few are old textbooks, and some aren't in the best condition. What do you do with books that you don't want and can't sell? Can I donate them to a school or library? Throwing a book in the recycling just feels totally wrong to me.

2. Any recommendations for moving companies? We're moving from the Tron to NE in a couple of weeks, and we've decided to let someone else do the heavy lifting. We'd like them to be licensed/insured and fairly priced. We don't care if they're vegan. (In fact, it's probably better if they're not because I might offer them baked goods that contain butter!) I've never actually used a moving company before, so any advice on these helps.

Thanks!

Hey Everybody!

I know it's a little early, but I figured I would let you know a little early so you can plan ahead.

There will be a Christmas Tree Sale on Dec 5th + 6th at the Woodland Elementary School in Fairview. (21607 NE Glisan St, Fairview, OR 97084) from 8am-4pm.

Christmas trees for $20 each!!!

ALL proceeds will go to the Multnomah County Animal Shelter. We will also be having a donation sleigh for food, litter, blankets, treats, toys, etc for all of the animals in the shelter.

Pets are welcome to this event!!


Also, starting Dec 1st, if you bring 2 cans of people food to the MCAS shelter when you adopt a pet you get $10 off of your adoption fee!

Have happy holidays!

I'm looking for two very unique ornaments for the tree this year. One I know can be found, the other... might be more of a challenge.

I need a pickle and a turkey ornament. The pickle and the turkey is an inside joke with the significant other. This will be our first Christmas, so I thought it would be neat to get these things.

The pickle, as luck would have it, is actually an ornament from a German myth that is still going strong. (See story here: http://german.about.com/library/blgermyth11.htm). So I know it's possible to get the pickle, I can get it online. But we want to go to a store to buy it together, so I'm hoping someone knows where to get a pickle ornament. Distance, within 2 hours of PDX.

The turkey? I think that will be a little harder to find a turkey ornament. But you know what would work? Just a small plastic turkey, like the kind you would get for Barbie or some other small doll. I can always put a hole in the top and make an ornament out of it.

Please and thank you!

Hey there, DPers! I come to you with a question, and digging through the archives didn't lead me to any similar posts, so here goes.

Because of a series of unexpected expenses that caught me off guard recently, I need to be super frugal for the next three weeks, and one place I'm hoping to save money is on food. Thus, my question:

What is the cheapest place here in town to buy groceries?

I currently do a lot of my shopping at WINCO, and have had pretty good luck finding good deals there, but I'm not really certain if there is a better place to get cheap stuff.

Location isn't so much of a concern. I figure that, since I have a vehicle and will be making one grand shopping trip out of it, I can drive pretty much anywhere in the area, from Gresham to Beaverton to Oregon City. So...what do you guys suggest?

Thanks so much for your help, DP.
