Some may chastise me for using the words ‘good’ and ‘attorney’ together in the same sentence, but hey, it could happen!!!!

Anyway...should you know of one (local would be better) who you’d recommend, please do so.

Thanks in advance for your help...

Personally, I would like to see more money devoted to education around issues of animal neglect and cruelty. The $2500 reward money would have gone further if spent on that, I think.

I see lots of adoption events around town, but I see relatively little information on spay/neuter, animal hoarding, irresponsible breeding, etc. And when it comes to cruelty issues, I've learned more about those from some of PETA's stunts than I have from the Humane Society, PAWS, and ASPCA combined.

National animal welfare groups should be spending more of their donor dollars on public service announcements, in-school programs, and workshops. That there are still so many people out there who don't even get the importance of spay/neuter is shameful.

Dr. Velling, on Roxbury

I very highly recommend Dr. George Naden. Great, kind, gentle dentist that doesn't rip you off.

Dr. Chellis charges twice as much, I speak from experience.

I would highly recommend Dr. Diane Savage. I've recommend about 5 people to her over the years and they've all gone and LOVED her. And Mila, one of the dental hygenists, is pretty awesome too (they're all good but I especially like her). I think she works Thursday mornings.

Thank you, Lena. Agreed, JoB!

JoB, I don't know what type of magnets are in speakers, but I have a fairly large supply of magnets from my Health Kinesiology practice, and I can donate some if they are of any use. I have rubber bar magnets (approx. 0.5" x 2.0") and assorted ceramic disc magnets (diameters approx. 0.25", 0.5" and 0.75". If any of them are useful, let me know and I'll see what I can spare.

Its good this creative person is able to move on. Bad that its Nickelsville's loss.

Nickelsville still needs tents and tarps and duct tape and zip ties and garbage bags and sleeping bags and blankets and ...

but the latest request might surprise you

they need speakers... or to be more correct, they will take speakers whether they work or not to harvest the magnets from them.

One of the campers is making electricity generating windmills.. that's what you see peeking up in the garden as you pass .. and he needs magnets to make more.

Unfortunately for Nickelsville, this camper will be taking off for a job soon.. but in the meantime he is a windmill making machine.

i wonder if that funky little store.. Archie something that used to be in Ballard has magnets he can use.

it may be time for a road trip to Greenwood :)

What i think is sad is that a reward that large is required to induce people to turn in this kind of cruelty.

Love the earth and sun and the animals,
despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people,
take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
or to any man or number of men,
go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
and with the young, and with the mothers or families,
re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,
and dismiss whatever insults your own soul;
and your very flesh shall be a great poem....

~ Walt Whitman ~

Another rave for Puget Sound! Worked all the way around for us.

hubby likes the new batter dipped fries
i am a purist
given no other option
i ask for soup instead

lol... when I was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany lo those many, many years ago, there was always pommes frites mit mayo..learned to really like it then...but the mayo there is different than the mayo here..

jan: no.

tartar? if it's good tartar alongside a piece of breaded white fish, i might take an occasional dip.

but ketchup is the man. or a man. or something.

redblack...you don't like mayo with your fries?

ww: but you have to specify - emphatically - if you want non-seasoned fries at EBB.

i don't like anything but ketchup between me and my french-fried 'taters. okay, maybe some salt.

DP: i know it was a lark, but i have an opinion regarding your choice of dining establishments. i'm loath to let it fly in this venue.

I'm looking for a dentist but would like to go to someone that is recommended. Thought I'd turn to all of you :)

They were back again tonight, taking notes but not approaching homes. Awkward? Yes! What's the point?

enough said:)

I may be able to help, as I pick up my daughter daily at 3.

Let us know when you go up again. I think we have fish in our freezer.

No pics... one was just out of surgery, and the other is rehabbing from an electric high voltage encounter. They are on lowest possible stress ... I got a brief glimpse, but they are being shielded from anyone but the food and direct care givers. Good news, those two are going to recover, My critter is volunteering this summer so we will be getting some over the summer I am sure. The fish was very much appreciated.

#120: rise to higher level?

I did not make this one up.

Alki Ave and 60th or so? Water main break or something?

I have no idea how many she has.

Ballpark; 40 Bazillion.

Give or take, a Billion.

This is why I personally have a great deal of affection, admiration and respect for the entire WSB/Nickelsville Donor/Supporter/Advocate/Friend community.

Betty and Ellen are prime examples of the old adage; "The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree", in the most positive respect.

Mike

my bad. please disregard this post. I miss read about the Westwood Liquor Store.

So? No pics!!??!!!!
Was good of you to do this for the birds and Sarvey.Hope they are enjoying the fish you gathered for them.

I haven't heard anything either, but if I have a choice prefer the one at the Junction.

thanks, Kevin, for the good word. I heard about this, and decided to start this Admiral Central Group..hope it works...

miws
Thanks Mike for the praise, but the smiles and thankyous I get are my pay.

Thank heavens my kitchen is an improvement over the one you show! Now with the increase in camp residents, I have friend who holds my large pan of salad for me overnight. I keep the 2 pans to be reheated Sat AM. This friend is also taking me to Costco to buy the supplies JoB and I talked about.I start on Wednesday getting prep work done so when time to cook I can just put it together. I just don't do what I do all in one day or at the last minute.

Since I don't own a car I'm not on the go all the time like JoB. I don't know how she does it, either! I just work on one project, I have no idea how many she has. Just all around helping those who need help.

Nickelsville seems to draw a lot of good from a lot of people who do whatever they can when they can. We're soooo lucky!

Praise goes for Ellen who works full time and raising 2 4 yr. olds. She doen't have a lot of free time but likes too cook for hungry people. Plus she helps residents at times. I know there are others who do a lot and prefer not to be singled out . Thank heavens for all of us. You too, Mike. Your previous experience At Nickelsville gives you a little inside knowledge and you use it to help here.

By the way, I finally put that pantry cupboard to gether and have it full already. Now I need to clean the first one up before putting new supplies in it.Not many of my neighbors would'v attempted that little project but its the 2nd one I've done.

What rumors? I go there all the time and they are always busy.

I hired a henna artist in October for my bridal shower. she was AWESOME.. even did henna for my 90 year old grandma! Her prices were very good for a private party and she was very nice.

Are the rumors true?

Nextdoor.com is a GREAT site! I'm a member of the Arbor Heights Nextdoor site. Membership is limited to folks who live in a specific neighborhood.

Think of nextdoor as a rather intimate venue to to discuss neighborhood news. Things that would probably NOT get covered on the WSB.

The site allows posting links and pictures.

Sign up and give it a try! If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. You also have the option to set up email notifications when some other neighbor posts. Nice to not have to manually check the site every day.

It is probably a little like a neighborhood block watch. In our group, we routinely get the word out about a solicitor on a specific street.

Probably one of the most compelling reasons to join is that you are able to "meet" more of your neighbors!

This deserves a bump to counteract a bit of negative press that doesn't seem to be deserved.

this community is very lucky to have WSB. It's unique to us. Not all communities have something like it. Nextdoor.com obviously helps those communities more. I just look at this as another tool in the tool belt, something specific to the community inside the community that I live in. For those who wonder what it's about, here's the basic link...

https://nextdoor.com/

Wow!

A company that actually gets the old adage; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

I have not used them, nor am I familiar with their work, but they do parties and are based in Seattle.

For those of you who really really need a large tax deduction, check out this catalog from a local landmark. Note the wood stove :)

Thanks, JoB!

Nickelsville loves you, I love you, and the Universe loves you! ;-)

Mike

miws.. tent picked up and delivered.

Neither the initial post nor the link provided gave any compelling information about what unique benefits would be provided by joining. Technically the initial post was a statement, not an inquiry or invitation, which I also found a little strange. Normally people who want others to join a cause or community will have something a little more descriptive to say about it. Thus the "why?" question from me.

My free time is limited, so I would need to understand why I should spend more of it on a different site if WSB is already providing similar benefits to me.
