I consider WS not to be a pick up ground simply because It’s too small and not to many single girls live here anyways. I don’t take a date out in WS because I don’t want her to know were my favorite hangouts are(Tom Leykis rule). I hit Belltown and leave them in Belltown. 1)I never bring a girl back to my place 2) never buy her friends drinks,only her.3) and always use protection. Just my two cents here..lol

I have a friend who owns a business and she has drivers. She always has an instant camera in the glove compartment so that if there is a problem the driver can take a photo (like a fender bender). There are camera phones, now, but all you can do is take a photo at the time when the police can’t come. That way, at least you can prove that your car was not the cause.

I always use Ambassador Limo. 206-903-1221.

They will send a nice town car and wait in the luggage area with a sign for your parents. They also monitor the flight schedule, so they are always on time. It’s about $50 give or take a few bucks.

We keep an old condiment jar (glass) in the fridge, and add to it as we have bacon grease.

Use bacon grease, as austin mentioned, to roast veggies or potatoes. Also it’s amazing to fry or scramble eggs in a bit of bacon grease, or rub the cold, semi-solid grease on the skin of a chicken or turkey before roasting. My favorite thing to do with it was shown to me by soclwrkrinmotn when we first met. Melt a tablespoon or slightly more of it in a big pot, then heat it. Drop one popcorn kernel in, and when that kernel pops, it’s at the right temperature. Dump in a quarter-cup or so of popcorn kernels, and seal with a tight-fitting lid. Shake the pot slightly over the element every few seconds, to ensure the popcorn doesn’t burn. It will begin popping shortly. Once the popping has slowed to more than 2 seconds between pops, turn off the heat and throw the popcorn into a bowl. Add butter or salt to taste. (I usually just add a teeny bit of salt, as the bacon grease adds a buttery salty flavor that’s lovely.)

Enjoy!

We just made a whirlwind visit to two holiday bazaars to grab quick “happening now” pix I’m putting up shortly but I wanted to mention here too. At Delridge Community Center, in the gym, a dozen or so vendors with REALLY unique stuff – two sisters who sell nut and candy items, two sisters selling adorable knit/crocheted hats and these great lunch totes QUILTED out of plastic shopping bags, the Hi-Yu folks with their beautiful glass ornaments … then at C and P Coffee, there’s an arts/crafts fair/sale with everything from neighborhood-pride buttons/magnets to shell art to pet portraiture … and we just saw that by sticking our head in for five minutes. Both events are under way till 3 pm.

They are the Best there! I’ve always had a great experience dealing with everyone there.

NR, people are constantly surprised that I met and worked with them in the late 70’s when my daughter was just an idea…she’s 28 now. I’m sure we’ll always be friends….

My sidekick takes videos. And reception is always good enough to make use of my full keyboard.

Bring it on (in a few more months)!

As my Mother always said, “common sense in not common”.

[JanS]

those friends for life are friends for life, really. I have 2 that I worked with 30 years ago before the daughter was born. The three of us sometimes didn’t talk for a year, or hang out for longer than that. But…we’ve weathered just about everything, and still get together for plays, dinner, hanging out, and on and on. And it’s always like we just saw each other yesterday :)

A singles group…might as well..it could be fun…though I think the holidays may get in the way…maybe between Crimmas and New Years? The weekend after New Years? BPP?

[Zenguy]

Ellenator you may be right about that. I have to disagree with NR thought about friends for life, I have a friend of 25 years and some others that I have known for 17 and these are the king of friends you can call in the middle of the night and they would be there for you too.

I am always up for a meet and greet, you can never have too many friends!

You could always hand out flyers in the Junction, maybe around the time of the farmers market when there’s a lot of pedestrian traffic.

my review is similar to Cj’s. I enjoyed the service very much. The owner and staff could not have been friendlier. They even gave us a miniture bottle of wine to take home with us for coming in. My husband to be’s plate was awesome! My plate was okay – I was not blown away by my meal. (Sorry I dont remember what we ordered.)It was also nice because it was quiet while we were there which you cant always get in West Seattle.I would go back and thought the prices were very very reasonable. :)

[villianale]

Have you let the place know you have had bad service? Or are one of those people that everything is always bothersome? Just curious! Cheers

Lowery. First…and this is my opinion… older women won’tbe playing the games, but will be a bit more cynical about men because of the wisdom one has learned. And…if I’m out with my friends – female types, or couples, and you’re at the bar, how exactly should I approach you so it doesn’t seem that I’m looking to just pick you up for the evening, if you get my drift. So it’s a double edged sword.

And then there’s this. I don’t do the match.com thing because , for me,while I don’t mind a man in my life, I just don’t want one in my home – lol. In other words, I’m not quite looking for a soulmate, for a committed relationship of permanence..I’ve done that already. Now, one must always remember to believe in never saying never. But, for the most part, miss having male friends to spend time with. The dynamic is different than spending time with female friends.

I think maybe it’s (the difficulty) fairly equal for both men and women when it comes to meeting someone out there on the “social scene”.

This is one I may have to try and make. One of the channels (TBS?) runs ACS, non-stop, Christmas Eve-Christmas morn. I always switch between that and It’s A Wonderful Life as I frantically try and wrap the last of the gifts.

I have problems with almost all crosswalks and non crosswalks at this time of the year. It gets dark so early and I get blinded by the halogen lights on cars. Its is so dark and I am blinded that I can’t always see someone who is trying to cross. I try to slow down when I know I am coming to a marked crosswalk and just tonight three people were jay walking across the street and because of the dark clothes and not being in an intersection I almost missed them crossing. I was glad no one was close behind me when I had to stop quickly.

You’re the second person to mention that place to me this week, JenV. I’ll definitely check it out, soon. Thanks! (Can always get an order of TB cream puffs afterward, on the way home. ;)

[carrieann]

Exercise IS always good, assuming you’re in condition to make that extra trip out of your way. I get what JenV is saying here. I agree that the crosswalk is a scary one, and I’ve yet to use it. But as a driver, I always make it a point to slow down quite a bit before I reach that spot, just in case. And I can’t say I care if the temporary speed reduction annoys those behind me. I cringe every time I see cars flying past there, seemingly oblivious to the people trying to make their way across the street.

cruiser – Isn’t that the truth!! Americans are definitely NOT as friendly as people from other parts of the world.

Funny too, our friends in Europe are friends for life. Once you have become friends, you will ALWAYS be friends. Not always the case in America.

Exercise is always good! :)

Sad story – After moving to Seattle I had heard mcuh about the Benbow and finally decided to check it out. Upon arriving with a couple friends we were greeted with a closed sign and learned from some patrons at the TNT next door that the owner had died the day before. Missed it by ONE DAY!!! Oh, and my condolences to the owner’s family…

I’ve heard so many good things about the place that the image I have in my mind is probably better than the actual reality was. Even so, I’m still upset I was one day late. Story of my life — I am a procrastinator and guess I always will be.

I was just at this intersection on Tuesday and had to cross twice – it is always frightening crossing there at night, and I had another incident where I wasn’t sure if the driver saw me or not. I’ve started carrying a small flashlight on my keychain that I flash and wave around when I’m crossing – seems to get more attention, even if it feels ridiculous doing it. I also bought yellow wrist/ankle reflectors from Alki Bike & Board that (when I remember to bring them) I wear on my arms when I’m out at night and walking. But I don’t always have them, which is why the flashlight works well too.

JenV – You could have requested his name and badge number and reported him to his superior at his precinct.

Until this problem at the crosswalk is rectified, you could always cross at a different location. Sure, it may be a little further away, but exercise is always good!:)

Growingjade’s account has been deleted for repeated and obviously deliberate, flagrant rule violations, which is our prerogative, although it is also our prerogative to respond to violations in various ways. He/she may show up here again under some other name, in which case, as always, I appreciate the flags. Thanks.
