United Paws’ Kittens of the Week

Submitted By: unitedpawshelp@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Lucy and Cindee were rescued from a Tillamook trailer park where a kind resident had been feeding about a dozen kittens and cats. She asked United Paws to help by taking some of the kittens since she was on overwhelm. Lucy and Cindee are two of those rescues and they have turned out to be two of the sweetest and most loving cats we have had.
Cindee has a luscious black coat with subtle streaks and hints of deep brown. When she first arrived at United Paws, she was somewhat shy and frightened of the new environment, but within a few days of sweet talking and petting, Cindee transformed into a loving sweetheart who greets you and rolls onto her back, waiting for your belly rubs. If you have been dreaming of being greeted like this, Cindee is the kitten for you!
Lucy also has an elegant black coat with subtle markings of deep brown stripes that stand out in the sunlight. Her beauty is matched by her sweet loving personality. No doubt about it, she loves to hang out with humans who adore her! Lucy has a powerful motor—she will purr all day long—and she wants to give you kisses while she snuggles near your face and hair. Lucy and her sister Cindee can both be energetic together at playtime and they love wand toys! They are happy to play with you, but when they’re tired, they gladly will settle into your lap for some cuddles. Lucy, in particular, will purr for a long time like a calming lullaby after a long day. Simply stated, Lucy is the cat’s meow!
These sisters are ready for loving homes. They would love to stay together since they are fabulous playmates. However, they can go to separate loving homes, if necessary. Both are spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a home of their own.
If you are interested in meeting them before making a decision, a “Meet & Greet” at United Paws can be arranged once you have been pre-approved for adopting through United Paws. Contact us by email, phone, or Facebook messenger. You can get an Adoption Application off our website for preapproval: www.unitedpaws.wordpress.com.

Art Project?!?

Art project?!?

FREE to someone who would like to play with it.

Someone gave me this Folbot about 39 years ago and said that it was from the 40s. Being a canoer, I thought it would be fun to restore it as a hanging sculpture without a skin especially since the skin was not in good shape. Also, my only available storage place was damp so the cross section pieces (similar to the ones shown in the second picture of a 50s or 60s Folbot) were damaged and I (foolishly) got rid of them.

New Yoga and Movement Studio In Nehalem – Opening This Week

Submitted By: seadreamnehalem@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Some exciting and timely news this week:

Our Sea Dream space in downtown Nehalem is becoming solely a healing arts space with yoga, dance, Pilates, and creative group movement classes—as well as other healing arts offerings on the horizon (think reiki, massage and more)!

(Our retail shop is moving right next door into REVIVAL.)

Self-care is community care—and we will need to care for each other more than ever in our coming times. Practices that move energy and help connect mind, body and spirit can offer a powerful life raft to help move us through the twists and turns of life. I am very honored to be able to offer this space for our community, along with some incredible teachers and facilitators.

We will have many in-person (and some online hybrid), small-group classes and events. A variety of offerings are already scheduled on our website, and we will only grow in the coming months/years!

2007 Toyota FJ

This is an excellent rig! It has some blemishes but runs very well. It’s been mechanically well-cared for and has a brand-new clutch & battery (summer 2024).
It currently needs brakes and front cv axles.

134k miles
Strong engine & mechanical
Minor issues
Broken mirror and taillight cover
Some small rust spots in scratches

Not much driving the last couple years, about 100 miles so…No recent wear and tear.
It’s priced low. I’ve just been dragging my feet for a while because it’s a hard break up with this sweet sweet ride. I’ve had it for 15 years and love it but needed a pickup. Come get this comfortable-cruising, apocalypse busting classic. I’m letting it go for $10k firm.

mainstream news media

I really don’t want to be a regular poster, but someone recommended an excellent article to me and I thought it would be a disservice not to pass it along.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/07/us-progressive-election-trump-maga

Big tech has replaced news partly because the national news media failed us a long time ago. They’re all only interested in profits. BBC is supported by a surprisingly reasonable fee levied on each household. They aren’t beholden to corporate interests, and they do a fabulous job providing many valuable services.

Yet in spite of all the misinformation we are bombarded with in America, we still have license to consider alternatives and challenge our thinking (for example: the notion that Ukraine cannot win could be contrasted with the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan).

Being aware that there’s a cesspool of information out there is half the battle. The other half is having an open mind and persistently comparing bits of info to refine our perceptions.

Noritake China (Lynbrook pattern)

Submitted By: cheryl.lund21@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I’m selling my mother’s Noritake China. It’s the Lynbrook pattern, 4724 stamped under each piece, except a few of cup & saucer sets, which are the
3 3/4″ (3903 stamped underneath). I can’t see a difference between the two. There’s 10 complete
6-piece place settings (including cups and saucers), shown in the first picture, a covered sugar bowl with creamer set, an 11 5/8″ long serving platter, a 16 3/8″ long serving platter, a
covered serving bowl with handles (8 3/8″ diameter from rim to rim of bowl; 10 5/8″ from edge to edge of handles). There are additional pieces of some of the dishes, if interested in those pieces.
Asking $360 for the 10 six-piece place settings and serving pieces.
Note: the oval serving bowl shown in one photo is no longer available.
