Dear Oregon Legislature,

This weak-ass phenylephrine isn't doing a damn thing for my stuffed up sinuses. I have some good old-fashioned meth-precursor pseudoephedrine at home, and it works a treat. Sadly, I'm at work, and had to take what they had in the Big Box Of First Aid Things, and I'm telling you, this weak-sauce phenylwhatever isn't doing a THING. I'd have better luck with a mildly spicy burrito from Taco Bell.

Also, for fuck's sake, my blood pressure is even more unhappy than my sinuses right now.

The score so far:

Sinuses clearing: 0
Blood Pressure Elevation: 40E30

Meaning I'm losing my several hojillion points. Thanks. Much appreciated.

I'm looking to get a tattoo and am looking for an artist that specializes in drawing some kick ass art.

I am looking to combine the following concepts into a woodcut of the Tree of Life:

Also, any comments on the process would be great. I have always designed my own art before getting inked and I'm not sure of the process for getting art done. Do you get some concepts/mock ups? Do you pay for those? Do you tip extra? What's the deal?

Thanks much!

I've been getting my nephews a Silver Eagle each year, starting way back when they were only $10/coin. The kid that's graduating HS this year has quite the pile of them. This year, my regular coinshop is charging $5 more then you can get 'em on line - at $23/coin . . .I dislike shopping online for these things, anyone know of a better local coinshop where I can pick up the 2009 coin? I need to mail soon.

I'd been using http://www.columbiacoin.com/ on Hawthorn & 51st.


(feel free to steal this idea for the tots on your list - a coin per year doesn't break the bank on my end, but the value goes up and the oldest's total stash is worth over $1K right now)

So, back in the day, whem my roomie and I moved in to our house, we bought a used washer off CL. I tried hooking up said washer and then got a frantic "OMG I FLOODED THE BASEMENT" call from my roommate. Since then we haven't tried to use the damn thing.

So either A) the washer doesn't work or B) I'm no handyperson and hooked it up wrong. I'm leaning toward B. So, any handy DP'ers that could direct me to relevant pages on the webz OR someone/some company I could hire to hook it up right? It's a very basic machine so I wonder if maybe the fit was wrong. I'm clueless really and need direction - help?

So, I'm thinking about getting a tattoo for the first time, nothing fancy, just some song lyrics that have special meaning to me. Can anyone recommend a tattoo place that is newbie friendly? Downtown-ish would be preferred, but isn't essential.

Sorry folks but that says it all, this is your early morning weather... today's forcast is cooler than yesterday's
