In reply to: What’s with these guys?
JanSParticipantwes…you misunderstood…it’s not about all christians….just those that hide behind the “banner”…..who LEAD the megachurches and are not who they tell you and me to be….or the politicians who LEAD, by advocating one way, stand up and state beliefs one way (and sometimesinfluence and pass laws), and then break those very personal beliefs themselves. I suppose I hold them to a higher standard and shake my head…these are grown men, with choices..they can’t all stand behind “sickness’…they don’t have some big boogieman standing over them twisting their arms to do these things…they put themselves out there as moral compasses…that old saying “methinks they doth protest too much”…so please don’t misunderstand…this isn’t about the christian, spiritual, religious or non-religious or whatever who just live good lives knowing right from wrong , this is about the guys who LEAD that way, and make those choices…hypocrisy.This guy was a pastor…he knew better…but it isn’t just because he’s a pastor…it’s been ultra-conservative politicians, too. It has nothing to do with his being a “church person” per se..it’s about his position in that church.
I deplore this behavior in anyone..but particularly those who seek to influence by “preaching” the “moral” way.
That definition of sin? That’s your interpretation of God’s laws, 10 commandments, the bible, etc…it may not be everyone’s..just a thought…religion/beliefs etc can be complicated, can’t they? You interpret one way that works for you…your neighbor may interpret another way that works for him/her. Neither is wrong..just different.

SueParticipantI sometimes read the housing wanted boards at Craigslist when I’m bored, and I’ve seen your ad on there, Jiggers. One thing I might suggest to you is that you tell a little about yourself. Honestly, if I had a room to rent (which I don’t) and had seen your ad, I probably wouldn’t have called because I don’t know your first name, whether you’re a man or woman, age range, are you working, etc. With a competitive market for inexpensive rooms/apartments, I’d think somebody needs to tell a prospective roommate or landlord why they are worth picking up the phone to call over somebody else. Also, I have a feeling that at the price point you’re looking for, you aren’t going to find anything unless you open yourself up to the WS neighborhoods that you specifically mention you don’t want to consider. As a renter myself, that’s just my observation of the market right now.

JenVMemberAim – I had to go and open my mouth before checking in with the other 1/2. He made plans for us Sunday night. It’s Saturday evening/night we’re open. *self dope slap*

JanSParticipantJenV…that was wonderful…lolol…love Dave Barry
jiggers…how big a place do you get for your $875/mo.?
It’s a shame that you can’t find someone to go halfsies or threesies on renting a house…would cut expenses…but not seem like you’re “renting a room” that you can’t leave for the rest of the place. I understand how difficult it will be going from living alone to living with a stranger…I’ve lived alone since my divorce in 95(except for a few years with my daughter)…and I love it. I’ve made it happen so far…but it hasn’t been easy. I work at home, so would be difficult to share…I see clients here..and don’t see how it would work.
Best of luck..still keeping my eyes open for ya…

JanSParticipantI’ve seen Dr. Lechner, too, for a couple 3 years now…like him quite a bit…very thorough. Have never been to Weinstein, but have heard many good things about him…nice to have a choice close by…

JanSParticipanthmm…as a former Pennsylvanian…I may have to switch chocolates…perhaps something locally made? :)
May 20, 2008 at 5:57 pm #624676KenParticipantTo phrase the issue as a Fox commentator would, Are right wingers fools? or just dumb. We will examine that question in depth right after this message from Lockheed- Martin…
Hint: you must click on the links to get the real facts on the netherlands polygamy story and see the wingnut “journalist” who purposely mistranslated the contract name and associated it with same sex marriage.

JanSParticipantwsblover…we love having you come here…we are a community. I’ve been here in WS for 33 years, and finally feel part of this community because of WSP and the people on here who I have and have not met. Ya gotta admit..original poster was none too friendly…or specific…in their accusations..
no…re: that terlit… some dirt and some flowers? daisies, maybe ;-)

SueParticipantCharla, I see Dr. Weingeist at West Seattle Eye Clinic. I have some unusual things needed in my prescription, and he is one of the few doctors who “got it” and didn’t just tell me I was difficult when I said I was seeing 2 different eye charts. I’ve been very happy with him.

KenParticipantThe cluestick has no preference as to how long someone has posted or lurked here.
Accusations of lawbreaking towards any business need to at least sound credible and may still be met with skepticism or agreement from any who have an opinion.
Smacking around the clueless is what the cluestick is for.
I could pick any business on the right side of the page ad roll and make up stuff that could be neither proved nor disproved. I would expect those who were not convinced by my evidence, or lack of it to comment as their own experience dictated.

AimParticipantJenV – that was priceless.
Email me? We’re thinking about a BBQ next weekend. You guys in?

KayleighMemberNo way—Hershey’s? :-(
May 20, 2008 at 5:26 pm #624805jkboisonMemberWe are thinking about chaining a trash can to the stop sign in front of our house. It is a high foot traffic area and people including our horrible neighbors are always throwing their garbage on the side walk and mow strip.
Has anyone else done this successfully???

JiggersMemberHey house my man… can you rent me a romm dude since you have a home? just wondering. I feel that you and I already have a lot in common just being up here on WSB….lol Call me if you can help. 206-933-3130.
May 20, 2008 at 5:17 pm #624940In reply to: Clean room to rent?
JiggersMemberJenV…I already look there everyday and reply back with my number but nobody calls back for some reason. I’ve posted that I want a room to rent numerous times to no avail. Its frustrating as hell.
May 20, 2008 at 5:15 pm #624939In reply to: Clean room to rent?
JenVMemberJiggers- try on craigslist under rooms and shares and search under West Seattle…you might find something there. Good luck to you!

in forum West Seattle Rants & RavesJiggersMemberI’m still looking for a room to rent here in West Seattle. Its mind boggling how hard it is now to get a place here in WS when just 5 years ago, they were giving you a free month concession just to get you to move in. Call me 206-933-3130. Leave message Thank you.

JiggersMemberI go in just to scope out the cute girls that work there. I usually buy a scoup of ice cream once inside though….lol

JimmyGMemberI love Husky Deli!
They stock Cadbury biscuits (cookies) that you can normally only get in England/Ireland.
And they stock Jaffa Cakes.
They are the type of locally owned business we should all embrace if we want to keep the WS feeling alive. Stop in as often as you can and try to buy something.

JimmyGMemberBeen going for years to Dr. Lechner at West Seattle Eye Clinic.
They’re now in Westwood Village (after many years on 35th SW).

charlabobParticipantHershey’s is moving (offshore) — moving some candy production to Mexico. Guess the folks in Pa. won’t have to worry anymore :-)

in forum WSB Reader RecommendationscharlabobParticipantThe bob needs to find a good ophthalmologist; basically, he needs something beyond the normal eye exam/glass prescription. He can no longer see to read and he loves to read (how’s that for a precise diagnosis?)
Any recommendations? We’re going to ask WS Optix for recs as well.

walfredoMemberIt’s very true. B & J’s does well in Kirkland, and Ballard and seems like a no-brainer for the Junction. Only reason it didn’t make it, was the ice cream shop right across the street that everyone went to…
May 20, 2008 at 4:39 pm #624919In reply to: Stimulus Check?
JiggersMemberI need my check to use as a deposit for a new place next month because I can’t afford to pay the rent increase which was raised almost 3% two months ago, grrrrr. I’m now paying over $875 a month in rent which isn’t worth it unless you own the place which isn’t in my plans for different reasons. So, the stimulus will surely help my cause. I guess though free money is free money and I shouldn’t complain and be patient. But I don’t want to stay and pay that amount in rent next month. Its ridiculous and I’m willing to adjust my living conditions. It was fun living alone for a number of years, but cutting my rent down to almost half would be so much better for my wallet and mind and maybe god forbid make a few new friends. I don’t know about the rest of you millionaires here.
