Have a nice day!

Oh, yeah. The weather at Disneyland was nice today. But all that rain yesterday ---that stuff that doesn't fall in California, only in Oregon--- was a pain in the posterior.

And ending your posts with "Have a nice day" does not disguise who the real hatemongerer is.

White people are not meant to tan. In addition to being a hatemonger you are also a bad mother. Pasty is good. Skin cancer isn't any joke. Tanning by young people is being restricted everywhere for good reason. Buy them SPF 45 instead of appointments at Tandemonium. Being shallow, materialistic and brazenly opinionated are at least as off putting to those of us witnessing the spectacle of you being you as the rubes walking around in socks in Birks are to you.

I hate flannel, birkenstocks, wranglers, the Gap and Doc Marten's. and I'm a born and raised Oregonian..... and no one I know that is from here does either.
I guess you don't know everything about Oregon people do you ceeglass?
but please,,, keep posting your slightly embellished stories, (extremely embellished stories) because it is entertaining. and the reason I think it's entertaining? because your so far off base that if anyone believes half of what you stated is more of a (I tried to curse again ) than you are.

but as a fiction novel author.... your a genius.

Now now, California is this magical place where puppies fart candy, every day is sunny, and if anything bad happens the magical pixie comes out to fix it. Oregon is this terrible place of gloom and rain, where everyone is a grungy hippie that has a right to work. Of course it's easy to make assumptions when one just drives through the state instead of living there, but doesn't stop people from posting like they have experienced life in a place first hand.

FYI Subsound - I lived in Portland for 3 years. Is that firsthand enough for you?

One must lead an awfully sheltered life then if one believes all these stereotypes about people in Portland. It reads like an SNL skit.

I live 20 min. from Disneyland and we had a few hours in the morning where it rained on and off - we didn't have "all that rain" and the afternoon was totally sunny. It hadn't rained for 3 weeks before the little rain you're referring to. That's why we enjoy the rain when it comes, because IT GOES AWAY, it doesn't stay day after day after day after day after day after day after day. I don't recall ever saying it didn't rain in California, we have a rainy season, but we have weeks between the rain and if it is intermittant rain over a 3 day period from Oct. - Mar., we think it's a lot. Show me one post where I stated rain doesn't fall here? You can't. The statements were with regard to how much it does rain in Oregon. Portland only has about 144 sunny days a year compared to Orange County with 280. Still have a nice day.

Gosh. Doesn't this post here say you don't have to do it in the rain?

When quite obviously, you do sometimes.

Orange County also has quite a few TV shows based on the shallowness of its people. I'd rather get rained on.

Are you serious. You DON'T have to do it in the rain because tomorrow will probably be sunny and you can do it then. In Portland you may have to wait a week to 10 days to have a couple of dry days to try to work everything in. Here, it comes, it goes quickly.
