Where would someone go if they needed something soldered? (I mean a piece of jewelry, not a computer chip).

Or, does anyone out there have a portable soldering iron they are happy with and can recommend? I've been wanting to buy one but there are too many to choose from and I don't know which ones are crappy.

OR...does someone want to solder this ring for me? Will pay of course...

Hey peeps, I'm looking for somewhere to play racquetball on a semi-regular basis ... and sadly, I'm not a student anymore, so I have to shell out cash to do this.

I'm thinking about checking out the Lloyd Athletic Club. Is anyone here a member?

Alternatively, is anyone here a racquetball player? Can you tell me where you play, besides at school facilities?

For all you caffeine addicts out there, you can get a free drip coffee tomorrow from 10am-12pm. Yeah, so not all of us like/support/agree with Starbucks, but it IS free!

So, where do YOU find excellent Oregon Springtime desktop wallpaper? I'm not loving anything Google gives me. My Winter scene needs to go away now.

I have some money, and I want to realistically transform it into more money, but sadl, I hve yet to unearth the mystical secrets of Alchemy. Nor am I fond of reading through self-help books. I believe a financial advisor is what I am currently seeking. Any of you have recommendations for good locals of that sort who can give me some solid, sound financial advice/assistance/whathaveyou? Cheap-as-free is preferred, but not at all necessary.

Thanks!

Do you guys know any local multi-store delivery services other than Delivered Dish?

Anyone want a spider plant?

This is a bit of a weird question, but does anyone know where I can get some Chinese exercise balls?

does anyone have an affordable cleaning service that they recommend?
I need some cleaning done in my studio.

Where would I go in Portland to get a inkjet printer cartridge refilled? Is that even possible?

I have an HP C3180, I think it's a #94 black cartridge. I am sick of paying $45 for a new one.

Just so you know, there's an Evel Knieval, aka a Kojak with a Kodak, aka a motorcycle cop, going nuts with the ticket writing on the east end of the of the Burnside Bridge, chasing Westbound.


Keep yer eyes peeled. He's nailed FIVE In the last 20 minutes!!!! A couple of them have been on bicycles, too.

I see Portlanders wearing Dansko's all of the time, so I thought I might get some decent input here. I am looking to get a pair of Dansko's for the first time, and I am wondering about being able to wear them without socks...

This is the pair that I am thinking of purchasing



Does anyone have experience with these shoes in particular, or other Dansko's that might be good to slip on and wear without socks as the weather warms up?
