Wasn't someone budget-minded and non-traditional looking for a wedding planner in here? I can't find the entry now and I was going to offer the benefit of my experience, having worked with a number of planners myself.

Where did your entry go and why was it deleted?

 

Hey Guys -

I am looking for a greatly reduced price half decent event space to host my sis's 30th. Needs to be free for children, food, alcohol, and dj.

Any ideas where this ideal space might exist or someone who might be willing to host it?

Hello all! I'm hoping you guys can help me as you've done so many times in the past.

My fiance & I are looking at the Outerbanks for our honeymoon destination this upcoming April. We're used to more extensive travel than this and will be simply driving from Greensboro. He and I have only been to east-coast beaches as far north as South Carolina so do not have any experience with this area of North Carolina. Ideally we would want something more isolated and serene and would prefer a waterfront bed & breakfast. We'll be spending a lot of time in the room (haha *wink*), so it does matter to us the quality/reputation. We usually camp but thought to treat ourselves since it is our honeymoon, after all. In my limited search (I just don't know where to look), this seems closest to what we want, but I'm really looking forward to input from you all.

Thank you in advance!

I live in San Francisco and really want to get out for a day or two, very low budget style. Does anyone know if there is public transportation that could take me out of the city, north maybe, and that would drop me within a reasonable walking distance from a good hitiking and camping spot? I just want to bring a pack and maybe my dog. I'd like to only spend the transit money, so no pay camping places. I just need a break.

I'm listing this for a friend of mine (whom I've lived with in the past and can vouch for), so please email her directly if you're interested. Thanks!

Hey, DPers. Are any of you parents, or recently beholden to them? Are you or your children not as young as they used to be? Do you have books sitting around that never seem to get read anymore, despite the bewildering assortment of words "A" seems to have been for?
If so, or if any number of other more specific circumstances hold, please consider bringing some old children's books to my book drive for the Children's Book Bank. It's this Friday, November 13, anytime from 1:30 to 6:00 PM. Located on Reed College campus (map) in the lobby of the Hauser Memorial Library (map), very close to a parking lot.

The Children's Book Bank, and by extension this drive, aims to collect "new or gently used" children's books (in particular those targeted at children 5 or under) and redistribute them to low-income households whose children might have had few or no books at all beforehand. I love Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel as much as you do, but isn't it possible that some of those other books you just don't need anymore? Not as much as someone else does?

"The Children’s Book Bank is committed to being a source for free "read aloud" books for children in need. Board books, picture books, alphabet books, books about numbers, colors, animals, shapes and words, story books, rhyming books, Dr. Suess (sic) books, and books in Spanish are greatly needed. Please, no encyclopedias, no musty or damaged books, and no school text books. Early chapter books are acceptable, but at this time our focus is on gathering books for children under the age of 6."

Hi! just a helpful hint, if you want a google voice number but are caught up because you want a hellza cool "vanity number", there are some open in the (434)-933-???? (Ifixed-????). Also, obviously, there is (Ifi)x??-????. Also many in (pol)y??-????, though polynomial is already taken, sorry.


Also, I'd really appreciate any feedback on data-only plans. Using the ipod touch as an internet/VoIP phone isn't really working out as well as I'd hoped, mostly due to the lack of ubiquitous free wifi. I'm thinking something like an internet tablet or "palmtop" or something (open pandora, nokia n810.) Any of you use(d) something like this? Also I don't want a voice plan at all.

Hey DP!

20 years ago, some stupid-ass wall came crumbling down by awesome people swinging shit at it.

HELL YEAH.



So are there any crazy parties going around today at bars or where ever?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Our bathroom sink was so clogged that we couldn't use it. My SO unclogged it, which was great, except that now when we use it the water goes downstairs to the living room! Ack!

So, Damned Portland, I need your personal-experience-based plumber recommendations. I looked at the tagged entries, yes I did, but my SO would like more suggestions than the two that were made back in July.

Thanks!
