Oregon Gov. Our businesses want to stay open, listen to them.

Governor Kate Brown
9 mins ·
Small businesses across Oregon want to stay open while keeping their employees and their customers safe. Listen to why they're asking you to #MaskUp4SmallBiz and wear a face covering at their shops, restaurants, breweries, and other independent businesses.

I really appreciate this Governor. She is always having conversation. Most are thinking people here in Oregon. A common goal. Take care of the people and that includes business owners and employees. This is a way to have the conversation respectfully and I see it rub off on the behavior of the community, collectively and even govt employees including our police.

Broadway Star Nick Cordero Dies at 41 After Over 90 Days in Hospital from Coronavirus Complications

Broadway star Nick Cordero has died after a months-long battle with the coronavirus. He was 41.

Cordero, whose Broadway credits include Waitress and Rock of Ages, died on Sunday morning at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he had been hospitalized for over 90 days.

He is survived by his wife Amanda Kloots, whom he wed in September 2017, and their 1-year-old son Elvis Eduardo.

"God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth. ⠀ I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him. Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, everyday," she wrote on Instagram Sunday.

"To Nicks extraordinary doctor, Dr. David Ng, you were my positive doctor! There are not many doctors like you. Kind, smart, compassionate, assertive and always eager to listen to my crazy ideas or call yet another doctor for me for a second opinion. You’re a diamond in the rough," Kloots continued.

I do not care what any one says. It's bullshit telling me to go back to work in this mess. Every one

wear a mask and good luck. I want unemployment extend and here is why. Sue the govt's ass like Trump always does, I think we have a cases.

Experts, Progressive states, Doctors, Scientists all knew we should wait until middle of June, probably end of June. Then open.

Trump started pushing in middle May and the protest and Gov and red states started rushing opening and all the self righteous of the right, can't breathe, Mother day weekend, Memorial Day, Trump mocking reporters that wore them and telling them to take off, going into business without wearing when it was rule for everyone to wear.

Trump and the Republicans created this.

And they are telling me to go out and earn a paycheck of 1300 a month.

While making mask wearing as hard as possible, the only thing that will help me.

No.

They created this, literally. They cannot make me walk into this spike. And they owe me with their greed and stupidity and ineptness. When they start smartening up, being responsible, then I will consider going out and about and back to work. Unemployment end the end of July. It needs to be extended until we see the Govt actually doing what we all know it needs to do to protect us, creating a safer working environment. Just like, the military should just sit down and do nothing, watching and waiting for trump to finally address Putin assassination money that he said nothing about because supposedly he did not know. Now he does. Still waiting Trump. And nothing. Almost a week 5 days), and Trump has said nothing to Putin, done nothing to Putin, does not even care about a bounty on military.

We should have a nationwide sit in the month of Aug, watch the money flow stop. And we all know how to do it, having done it in April, part of May. Really that is all, wasn't very long. Because it was well into March before most started. By middle May people were going nuts.

Trump walking down the ramp. Observation: Trump's left leg takes the step and the right

leg catches up. Left leg take the step and the right catches up. He tried to have the right go forward once and had to pause and went back to left foot and then the right. So, something is up with the right side. It was that side that the right arm could left the water but the wrist could not tip the cup up to drink water and needed the other hand to tip it. He holds his right arm to body without movement on a lot of his walking too.

Oh, the step he was taking down the ramp caught my attention because I sprang my ankle a couple weeks ago and going down the stairs I had to step down with good ankle and then sprained ankle had to come to that step so I could step down on the good ankle.

And as for his bday. I thought the man was older than Biden. I thought he was in his 80's. I really did. He moves like a man much older than 74 yrs young.

Ironic all Confederate statues are being pulled down and removed during the most racist Presidency.

Trump, our most racist president has caused this. I find it delicious. History books will be talking about Trump's racism. And they will be talking about 2020 address of black injustices and systematic racism. Trump helped strongly to fire up the nation, the very opposite of what he represents.

And the Supremacist feared it was going to happen with our first black President.

I have inundated my FB with a thread on articles it is white and supremacists/KKK doing the damage

and not so much the blacks protesting.

I did this because I started hearing from FB friends and family that they were angry about the destruction and it is so unfair for the protest to get ALL the blame. Maybe a small portion, but then, that too, I would argue all this time of abuse/murder and still here protesting the same, meh... But by starting three days ago saying St Paul mayor says people arrest from out of state and Gov saying 80% out of area, I have gotten my people open to other possibilities. Then yesterday started a thread with article after article showing it is a RW effort. It has even confidenced my most rw, but open to information friend. I also did another thread with many articles about the good in this protest and people being their better self.

We just have to get the information out and not let them assume it is blacks doing it because of our inherent racism, that will be the automatic go to of course. Anyway,

Someone suggested I put links in one Op.

I guess the NY woman adpoted a rescue dog. This is from the agency. Now lets hear from the cops

for false reporting.

Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc.
22 mins ·
Thank you to the concerned public for reaching out to us about a video involving a dog that was adopted from our rescue a few years ago. As of this evening, the owner has voluntarily surrendered the dog in question to our rescue while this matter is being addressed. Our mission remains the health and safety of our rescued dogs. The dog is now in our rescue’s care and he is safe and in good health. We will not be responding to any further inquiries about the situation, either publicly or privately. Thank you for your understanding.


Edit: A thread for those that are not aware what woman I am talking about. Cooper. Calling cops on a black man, ratcheting up the hysteria in a call to 911.

May I ask for some personal stories and opinions on dental issues?

Wednesday I am scheduled to have all my teeth pulled and get dentures. Scary scary stuff from getting the procedure done and adapting to life with dentures.

My teeth are strong but I have gum disease. I didn't have money to take care of it for a couple years, I was taking care of health issues. Only so much money so I had to hold off. I could have gotten partials in the back, but it has progressed. The dentist said that she could do partials and then four times a year get a special cleaning that costs so much more. I figure it would be a couple thousand a year. I am minimum wage employee. She said that she could do the partials and hope the cleanings would save my front teeth but a year or two down the road, I could just be spending more money for complete dentures.

That bill two years ago, with insurance was going to be over 5k.

I decided to just get it all done now and that is costing 7k, with insurance picking up the rest. Quality dentures, top of the line and a package that will take care of future care.

I talked to my father who has dentures and he convinced me it was not the end of the world and the procedure was doable. I was talking to a friend and she told me the horror stories of dentures and everyone is living a hell with them and go Holistic and spend money.

Can you all give me the reality and do I want to go the option of partial and try to save most of my teeth? I still have a couple days to decide. Like I said, my teeth are strong but the gum disease has caused so much damage.

Anyone want to help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
