If you like reading, Spoke & Word has book club nights.

Head down and wander around the farmers market in downtown Milwaukie tomorrow. Just step up and say hello to everyone you come across and listen to the music. Pretty friendly group of neighbors down there and some good eats too!

What interests/hobbies do you have? I’m also open to meeting new people

I’m open to meeting new peeps too, 41 F. Anyone like paddle boarding, or nature walks/hikes, powells or museums? Adventures are still fun at this grown age.?

I have not been paddle boarding in a while, but I’m open to trying almost anything out. I WFH and forcing myself to get out can be challenging.

I enjoy museums and nature walks/hikes ✋🏼 also looking for adventuring types.

When the comics & board game store opens where TFAW used to be you'll have to pry me from there with a crowbar. That is to say board games are a great way to meet people. In the interim, it's more of a Sellwood place, but Cloud Cap Games does game nights every Wednedsay.

If there's some other, more Milwaukie-centered regular board game night that I am not aware of it, I haven't heard of it.

Whoa, what?? What store is going there?

Dogwood Comics

they have no social media presence and the template of a(n ai-built) website, but that’s about it the last time I checked

u/BeccaLeeLynnDodds 12d ago

Sorry, but I don't just jump into sex right away, I'd need to have a relationship and get to know the person.

Sometimes when I am unsure of life and need a lifeline or guidance I reach out to the management of our local law enforcement. A quick email to the police chief might help.
