You could ask West Seattle Nursery, they might have a suggestion. Or a neighbor with a well kept yard.

Sorry for bumping into an old conversation. I completely understand the struggle to find a new tax prep firm after your trusted one retires. I don’t have any personal experience with firms in WS, but I hope you find one soon. Also, have you tried a real check stub maker? It’s a great app to help with managing finances. Of course, you’ll want to research and compare a few firms before making a final decision.

Hello! I am not sure if this is allowed on this forum but I am out of options. I am devastated about this and in desperate need to re-home my two cats.

I am newly divorced and have to re-home my cats due to my new living arrangements (max pets allowed).

I can provide info/pictures to anyone interested, or if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear about them! Thank you!

I was running yesterday & came upon an EV being charged. The vehicle was on the parking strip side of the sidewalk and the owner had plugged in the charging cord so that it crossed the sidewalk somewhere between waist & knee height. I was running just before dusk, but if it had been any later I wouldn’t have seen the cord, would have tripped over it and potentially injured myself very badly. (I have a photo but can’t figure out how to post it here.) It was there again today.

EV owners, please ensure that your charging cords do not create a hazard for pedestrians, runners, people using mobility devices, children on bicycles, those pushing strollers or anyone else using public sidewalks.

During the holidays many people have extension cords strung across sidewalks but most of them place the cord at ground level and put a mat over it to prevent people from tripping. Perhaps that could be a solution for EV owners.

Found in a somewhat soggy pile this morning (Dec 18). We will ask for a thorough description for any claims.

anonyme- Y’all feeling extra snarky this morning? They just asked a simple question, suggesting the answer to their problem is to move and that they have a physical problem is not very nice. It could be with all the covid changes some restaurants have increased their ventilation that could make them colder than they used to be. This person doesn’t deserve your snark because they are cold.

aa, I agree with you; the tipping ‘requirement’ has gotten out of control. The example you gave, pouring a cup of coffee, is also performed by 7-11 employees. Are they tipped? Checkers and baggers in grocery stores actually do far more actual work for each customer and yet are rarely, if ever, tipped. Restaurant workers in Washington state make the same minimum wage as anyone else. There is a certain restaurant in the Junction that has NO table service. Orders are placed at the counter, and the customer either retrieves the order when ready, or someone takes a few steps to drop the food at your table. And yet payment – including the onscreen request for a tip – is made at the time of ordering. Why tip for something that not only hasn’t happened yet but shouldn’t require a tip? If you select “no tip” you’ve just made that option clear to the person about to make your food – never a good idea. My old salon used to charge an additional $5 to cover ’employee health expenses’ back when the law changed. They’ve now redefined the fee as a ‘sanitation’ fee – WTF, you don’t clean your salon and tools unless people pay extra? These are business expenses, not individualized special services. I’m more than happy to tip and tip generously, but the expectation that everyone who works behind a counter is entitled to a tip is unjustified.

Hey, if you ever thought about sending your mother to the special living place instead? I am just trying to be realistic. No offense. I mean, I know that if dementia is light is no danger(i got the same situation last year with my mother, but if the situation gets worse, you will need to hire a specialist for a longer period, so in this case, I can suggest you search for a decent living place in your area. If you decide to choose this option, I would suggest you visit this site seniorsite.org where you can find detailed reviews about living properties in the California area.

I honestly just wanted to hear if others would be bothered. I am not interested in personal reflection on why it bothers me, or at least not here. And I am not looking for suggestions on how to deal with it. Simple question, would it bother you?

[miws]

I can recall at least one occasion of a coworker talking to themselves, which was when I was a cashier at White Center McLendon’s.

We had this one employee who did that all the time. His department and its customer service desk were the closest to the cash registers. It didn’t bother me, it was just part of who he was.

I know you don’t want any advice, and I don’t think this is, per se, but my brain can’t help but try to analyze why it bothers you.

I’m not a sports fan, to the point that I’ll mute the TV when the sports report comes up during newscasts, or any sports-related stuff, like reports on specific games. At the very least, I find them boring, but I especially find things like fan noise/screaming/cheering extremely annoying, and the rapid-fire delivery of the sports anchor, and the game’s radio/stadium announcers. All of the “fast pace” stuff triggers something in me as if I should be getting all excited. It’s almost as if someone is telling me “HURRY!!! HURRY!!! HURRY!!!.

So, I don’t think you’re overreacting, it’s just that it’s annoying to you for some reason.

aa, when I first got a dog in 2007 the municipal code required a 6-ft. fixed leash. Extendable leashes were not allowed within city limits. Whiny, entitled dog owners got the law changed so that it leaves a LOT of wiggle room (i.e., it’s unenforceable). This isn’t to say that laws regarding dog ownership have EVER been enforced – they haven’t. But at least there used to be a recognition that extendable leashes are hazardous to pedestrians and ineffective in controlling an animal 10 ft. away from its owner. And you are also right that it is not a requirement of citizenship, nor does it make you a meanie, to expect that any old dog either be in your face or blocking your path at any time. I love dogs; their owners, not so much.
