Bears we have around here seem to get the idea they own the town..nothing to see them walking down one of the streets up in the low hills

Since we heard thecteeth popping/moaning..ive got…Read more

Great news for you…don’t think our air quality is quite as good as yours. Wasn’t that a fantastic thunderstorm last night? We used to live in Wichita then Wellington, Ks…and do we miss those thunderstorms! Last night was a real treat, and we had more thunder today as well…not to mention a downpour, that left 4 inches of water…Read more

We had a magnificent (for Corvallis), thunder/sheet lightning/rain tonight…boy did we need it! Don’t know how much of the ash it will clear, but it’s supposed to keep on raining thru the night, and even more tomorrow. Haze/smoke has been…Read more

I am so worried about Pam and her crew…hope she’s safe, and that their home will remain unaffected.

It really is horrible…over a million acres thus far, and that’s from the totals of yesterday…so undoubtedly it’s higher yet.

All we can do is pray for rain, and no wind…a nice, gentle, slow rain…I’ve got every crossable…Read more

Thank you so much for thinking of us….I’ve donated to Red Cross, and figure it’s
probably the best place, altho if possible, make sure you indicate it’s for the fires…whether that be California or Oregon…sometimes you can indicate a preference and other times not.

If you wanted to be really dedicated about making a…Read more

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Hope you are all safe, and don’t have to up and head to the desert. Amazing how much has burned. We are still safe here…no fires nearer than about Sweet Home area. Husband had a hell of a time getting back to the DIB yard…up one highway, only to get turned around…no way to cross over…an…Read more

We got ash all over everything…suppose I’ll lose my heavy producing tomato plants
to it…dang!

Smoke is now right down at ground level…ugly yellow-orange in color. Looks lots worse up in Salem, where it’s a icky orange/brown.

Thankfully the humidity stayed a little higher than predicted…which had been 5%, but
it’s gotten up…Read more

May I ask where they’ve told you to evac to? Sitting here in Corvallis and watching it seem to move closer and closer, I figure we don’t have much choice except to evac west if it comes to it. Nearest fire I believe is above Sweet Home. Smoke/ashes everywhere, still doing their best imitation of a Martian afternoon sky.

Hwy 5, at…Read more

Our local group seems to have hied it…tho couldn’t guess where they’d go to…as many have pointed out, perhaps caves? I’d think the heavy smoke here in Oregon would give them some difficulties. I suppose they’d have to head west and over the Coast Range…but that’s as likely to catch fire as any other way. Hope we don’t get an…Read more

Glad you are staying safe and ready to book it. In Corvallis, yesterday morning, it looked like a Hollywood version of, “Morning on Mars”, and it’s no better today.
We have 1/4″ of ash on everything.

My daughter works in Salem, and sent me some absolutely lurid photos from the 7th floor of her downtown office building. Thus far,…Read more

p.s. Interesting that you mention a high school in an active area. This ridge where they seem to hang, is about 1/4 mile away from a high school…and while this year nothing is going on there…maybe they’re waiting around hoping for the cheerleaders to turn up again…and they’re going to have to wait.

When we lived about 20 miles…Read more

Yikes! That must have taken some time off your allotted years. I don’t know how you do it…I’d be/I am, terrified to go anywhere near that ridge, especially with them acting up as they are. Last night was pretty quiet, but Ethan said he had a couple of taps on the window his bed is under…ugh!

Could be that they’ve brought in…Read more

I would love nothing more than one or better ALL of her clients to run into a whole group of…Read more

I’ve heard that too, but as there are many homes between us and them, I can’t see why they’d pay much attention to a place as exposed as my home is. I’m on a relatively
busy street, and on the main drive into the south side of the park…seems kinda risky to be coming around were you might be seen. The west side of the park is…Read more

Yup, that was me…this is the 2nd time, and from all the noise, “they”, made the first time they beat whatever it was, it didn’t sound like there’d be much left for them to come back almost 2 years later for another go-round. Could be whoever owns the property foolishly had a new shed put up, which, “they”, didn’t appreciate? I’ve…Read more

Glad to see YOU are still around! 🙂 We had that one episode of the, “beat the hell out of the metal shed”, happen once before, almost two years ago, on New Years day I
think. This sounded almost exactly the same. I’ve pranged my own 8 x 10 metal shed with metal shears and that’s what it sounded like. Just like somebody was…Read more

I live in the central Willamette Valley of Oregon…about 50 miles south of Pam.

Our local Winco has been wiped out several times…especially that universal necessity, TP…not to mention Kleenex, and even paper towels. Canned goods also mostly gone, and there isn’t a package of ramen of any kind to be seen. No beans and no rice…Read more

Thanks to Knobby for putting paid to the, “wolf”….what a perfect pain in the podex people like the, “wolf”, were/are.

You don’t like it here, then take your $ 7.00 per month,…Read more

Boy, no kidding! I was utterly desperate at the time…the house was actually too small for as many of us as there were…but I took it nonetheless.

Would I if I’d known what was to come? Yes, I would have…it was down to not having a home for my kids and 4 leggeds. I was just so grateful that the landlord agreed to let me have the…Read more

I’m so glad that you are glad. Often those left behind and that remain, do so because there are things still to be done, and loved ones to still be taken care of.

What a blessing that you found a site that spoke to you.

Stay strong, as I know you are, and treasure those moments that I will hope continue to come for you.

I lost the…Read more

Reading this story this morning, roused two emotions…”oh God, not again”, and “when in hell is somebody going to do something to stop this?”

May Selena soon come home to her family, safe. Like you, I am sending prayers.

Jan B

I have to agree with you in both instances. Glad he comes to see you.

Jan B

I think you are sooo right! I would have loved to have known if others on that long block ever had anything going on at their places?

Maybe they enjoy the reactions they get? Also, always wondered if they came around because we had large gardens in the back yard, along with all the fruit trees?

Jan B

Always keep you in good thoughts…you are soooo adventurous and I DO worry about you!

I think most folks who lived out on that street…which was pretty much a rural, outside the main part of town type of area, probably would have chalked it up to anything other than what it probably was.

There was an old farmer who…Read more

I think you are likely correct…the owner knew. Don’t know what he knew, but he knew something was up with the home. The house had been rented for the last 10 years, and after we left, and in our letter to him letting him know we were leaving, I DID outline a few of the incidents, they then put the house up for sale. Asked if we…Read more

I’d be willing to bet a substantial amount of money that the previous tenant in this rental, left in such a hurry with her children, because they’d bothered her. We found scattered clothing out in the back yard, kids toys there as well…and lots of food in both the cabinets and fridge. Freezer had a large box of those frozen…Read more

Also, GO 9ERS!!!!!

Scared the living hell out of us the first several times it happened. After that, it kinda pissed us off. I went down the street to ask some neighbors with several high school age kids, and was told by the parents, that their kids were in another state visiting relatives…so, no joy there. Next night, it happened again.

Always got…Read more

Was wondering if you have in your database, any cases of them coming up to a house and doing, “creative designs”, close to the house, and managing to keep it totally silent whilst they’re doing it. Also, to include people awake and very close (only outside wall of house between them and us), to what they were doing? They did this with…Read more

Don’t know if they’re always trying to get inside a home, but the door knob jiggling sure seems to be something they enjoy doing, for whatever reason.

The home we lived in previously, we had door jiggling going on at least once a week…made my son so mad he decided to sit by the door every night until it happened again, and then…Read more

Many hugs for you, and keeping you in best thoughts. We’re all here for you kiddo…as Denise said, don’t hold it in…ask for the help you need.

I adored going back to Kansas where she was from, and enjoying so much the holiday dinners, (tho they were very few), around a huge table with 25 or more relatives.

Think that had something to do with the fact that I had…Read more

Wore my, “What to take when searching for Sasquatch”, hoody the other night into our local 7-11. Young man at the counter read it, and started asking me questions…told him to look up Sas Chron online, and that he would learn alot. Hope he took…Read more

We’re all here for you, and I keep you in thoughts and prayers every day, continuing to do so.

Major hugs to you both kiddo!

ROFLMAO!!!!! I’m old, but have never learned wisdom…probably something I should occupy myself with, eh?

Love your sense of humour kiddo!

You could be right, and that was the only explanation I could come up with, that if indeed it was a Sas demonstrating it’s mimicry skills, it sure picked a doozie.

I’ve seen a number of professional programs showing women doing this, and it’s eerie for humans…Read more

Don’t need no kind of yodeling/uulating Squatch round here, thanks! 🙂

Suppose they could have well heard it at some time…there are some pretty steep hills just a block or two behind the mosque.

I tried searching, even tho I’m not technically proficient, and could not find anything like what I heard, as it related to…Read more
