Welcome!

I have a family member who has some health issues and a few times a month needs to go to a the urgent care clinic or hospital. I'm the only person they know locally... but it's too much for me. Tonight I'd been asleep for two hours and they called saying they couldn't breathe well. I didn't want to say no, (and didn't) but I also don't think me getting out of bed, then driving tired through snow, is wise or fair. I'm not young anymore and now I'm stressed that where I parked, which was the only place I saw, I'll be stuck in the damned snow when I try to get out - although that's not usually a problem here.

I looked up medical transport but only see the kind you schedule ahead of time - like days ahead. The problems generally don't justify an ambulance, but often can't really wait (or shouldn't) until the next day. Tonight, they need a treatment to ease pain and breathe more easily, and it could advance to an emergency if they don't deal with it. I can tell they feel bad calling me, but don't know what else to do.

All that for this question... is there any type of transport for medical that's not urgent? Like... last time I tried to get an uber here late there just weren't any available. Any 24-7 cab service or something? I can't keep doing this.

Just got the email that it may be postponed because of the snow

Hi Everyone,

I am building a house and I am thinking about using Hukills as my plumbing contractor, however I have heard mixed reviews. Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Power outage in the Old Stage/Old Military Rd area of the West Hills. Not sure how many are affected. Power Co. estimates power to be restored by 2 a.m. tomorrow morning. Gonna be a cold night if that’s the case.

Married with a child (under 2) and soon to have a second.

Currently live in South Carolina making 85k. No car payments. No significant debt. Never been to Oregon but I’m considering it with this offer.

Advice?

I want to go to San Francisco Now. Is the highway not closed?

Such a heavy snow, the United States postman actually wears shorts, he should not be afraid of the cold, this point out part-time delivery should be OK, the mountain is not too snowy to drive at all.

Any business closed today due to the snow?

This is how they describe themselves

“We aim to defend and support LGBTQ+ spaces, reproductive rights, and marginalized communities through education, countering bigoted rhetoric, and providing gender affirming (and other) supplies.”

And yet they decide to propagate bigoted rhetoric, while silencing their opponents.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your replies! We will not be moving here and I’m glad we got to receive blunt and honest feedback!

Hello everyone,

I was hoping to hear about what’s it’s like living in Medford. I also have some questions!

For context I’d be moving from San Diego, CA. Rent is $3k for a 2 bedroom apartment here and it is suffocating. I have some family in Medford who love it, but I wanted to see what others had to say before I actually make a move.

We (my fiancé and I) have exotic pets (parrots and an iguana) and I was curious if the vets out there are good?

Also, what job opportunities are there? We are hoping to find work in HVAC or procurement.

Thank you for your time!

Currently renting in a nearby rural area, but considering moving to Medford in the foreseeable future.
What are a few noteworthy groups, meetings, centers, or activities in the area?

Just like the title. Any recommendations to good nail techs that work with acrylic that’s anywhere from White City to like Medford, Grants Pass, Ashland?

Thank you to those who came out yesterday and stood with me in the rain! I said we would protest again next Saturday, but I will be going to this one instead please join me.

Hi everyone! My boyfriend (35) and I (30) are wanting to find some friends to play Fortnite with! We play after work most of the time! We’re hoping to find players around our age. TIA!

Update.

It appears as though i have made a mistake and put the blame on Burton's towing when they had nothing to do with any of this dilemma.

My friends kid is the one that made the mistakes.

The tow company is only guilty of doing their job.

They didnt ask for the tow, the tow was chosen on a rotation.

I didnt think that my rant was actually quite slanderous and going to affect people that are actually innocent.

And i didnt mean to call my friends son a fat ass

My friend let her son drive her car last night and he got pulled over for driving 69Mph on southbound I5 between exit 30 and exit 27.

The police asked him to step out of the car and they started giving him sobriety tests. My friend's son is a weirdo but he never drinks. He is a fat guy and he did fine with the tests but he has shit for balance and absolutely flubbed the balance tests. The police said he was drunk and arrested his fat ass.

They took him to the breathalyzer station and he blew a zero.

He got his tickets for speeding or whatever and tjey let him go. AFTER his car has been towed..

Now here we are saturday morning he calls the sheriff department to pay them $241 to release the car and he was told that the records dept is closed and he has to wait until MONDAY.

If the sheriff can tow your car 24 hours a day 7 days a week how come we can't get a release 24/7 7 days a week?

And it costs $241 just to be released.. not counting the tow charge..

What really blows my mind is that they say if the car was to be released right now... like 13 hours after the tow it will cost $1100 dollars!!

I think it is amazing that the charge can be so high... how can the sheriff department do business with a company that is so expensive. And even worse.. how can they close the office for the weekend and basically force people to pay for more storage time.. i thoughr the police were supposed to protect us. My friends kid didnt do anything wrong. Now it looks like they are going to lose their family car. His mom is elderly and needs that car for doctors appointments.

How can the county or whoever just let this stuff happen? Shouldnt there be some kind of regulation or price limits on towing charges? I hate to think about just how many lose their cars just because the sheriff decides to punish us by making us pay for shit like this.

And when ypu are dealing with this stuff its like every place you go you are denied something for one reason or another and they just hide behind someone elae.

My friend is going to need $1650 on monday or they are fucked. They dont have money like that and i have a feeling that its going to be all bad.

Any opinions?

I am a beginner and I am interested in taking the classes. Does anyone have information or contact information for who I can go to?

I've looked at the usual places like Best Buy and Walmart, but they don't have any locally. Any place else?

Is there anywhere in the valley where you can buy resistors, leds and circuit boards? I miss RadioShack.

Been in Medford a year and a half coming from the coast. Trying to find a local bar that’s not full of tweakers. I like Johnny b’s for the music but I heard they shut down. Any recommendations are welcome. I’d prefer somewhere with more good old boys, wouldn’t mind finding a handsome farmhand in the meantime.

Anyone know why the mall is closed so early? It normally closes at 7pm but I just popped in and every store is closed and security was locking doors at 5:15pm. Just curious if anything happened.
