APRIL FOOL!!!!!!

(good grief, JT — my obstinance even amuses me — I’ll never give it up.)

Am now and will be Obamamaniac to the end, for some definition of the end. (Unless, of course, Edwards returns in a blaze of glory,)

:-)

>>>Well, I’ve come around — JoB is a very >>>persuasive woman….as of today, Hillary’s the >>>one (for me). Thanks for all the good words, J.

There are numerous other great items there too! The only disappointment @ the Alki Cafe is occassionally the wait…

By the way, Aim, I still love stbx and don’t think they’re evil:)

But what if I don’t like green eggs and ham?

[JoB]

Vincent…

choose not to participate if that makes you happy…

i am not aware of anyone behind me passing my gestures on… i make them all the same.

i like to think that one day when they are flush, they remember my kindness and pass what they can along to someone else.

my experience with those who have little is that most have very generous hearts.

A coffee at starbucks apparently doesn’t mean much to you…

but if you were in need.. and had children you couldn’t give Christmas to… and someone dropped Christmas onto your doorstep… believe me.. you would never forget the kindness.

that is only one kindness i pay back to the world every year.

and by the way… it is no surprise that around Christmas people become more generous.. and publicity only gives more people the idea. it doesn’t have to have anything to do with starbucks…

and Aim… with her job… really is in a position to know if it was starbucks…

but lets say, for the sake of argument… some ambitious manager decided to promote the story…

It really doesn’t matter if starbucks had anything to do with it or not.. it is still generosity.

and for generosity… the correct response.. is thank you.

Alki Cafe. Green eggs and ham. The best.

I think there is a little too much of a scarcity mentality in some of these questions, and I do understand the frustration from the townhome owner, who thinks this whole train of thought is a bit insulting…

The idea that there aren’t enough jobs in the Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma area to support West Seattle and its growth is a bit over the top…

Now what you might be more concerned with, is if there are enough roads to get people from West Seattle to these places for work and I could see that.

Shoud public transportation efforts be improved? Sure, but don’t forget that the monorail stop that connects West Seattle to Ballard and everywhere in between that was approved then killed, is going to be bring a bunch more people and development from townhouses and condos, to retail and restraunts. So its not exactly a magic bullet.

Uh oh, shibaguyz! She makes a great point!

“I think the most amazing thing about some of the comments in these discussion forums is when people try to stir things up by making outrageous comments based on little or no facts surrounding the original conversation”-from Shibaquyz post under the RANT-WS Farmers Mkt blog…hmm maybe we should all learn to practice what we preach.

So I guess the fact that cheer chains didn’t get prevalent till after the xmas promotions a couple of months ago by Starbucks has nothing to do with them being conjured up by marketing?

C&P is giving away free coffee (tonight, front page post ) for donating diapers to charity, that’s real neighbors helping neighbors. Cheer chains at Starbucks are like buying the person behind you at Nordstrom’s a belt. Yeah it wasn’t for you but at the end of the day its still pretty empty.

Alki Cafe is great!! I think i just like goign to out for breakfast on the wknds… :)

[beachdrivegirl]

First lets go back to the basic question I asked. What would you rather have a hummer house or a town house in your neighborhood? I stated a hummer house and I stated why. (B/c of parking/transportation issues.)

Shibaquyz,

I am a bit confused about where your comment “it is often those crying out the loudest who are the least motivated”. First, I dont think anyone was crying out about anything. I think I was asking a simple quesion on what would people perfer that is far different then crying out so maybe you should read the entire post before you begin to make assumptions. We all know about those people. Second of all to assume that I am the least motivated to stand up to make a change and that I dont vote “for officials who understand those concerns and help pass legislation accordingly.” Is very far from the truth. Yes I said I am not going to campaign against it but that is not becuase I am lazy but becuase I have a job and other obligations that I am already committed to. And typically when I go to bat for something I dont half ass it. I put 110% into it, and follow it through until a resoltion is made. But it looks like you dont really care about that or the truth.

Again, read the post(s), no one ever suggested that people shouldnt be allowed to move here or buy new constrcution here. It was asked what type of new construction was perferred?

And yes I know whre my house came from, it was built in 1928 and has been updated and the house behind mine is newer and came after my house.

No it’s not a joke!!! Something “funny” about a campaign page with a touch of originality?? ;-)

It’s April 1st, but I AM a precinct delegate and I want to be a state Delegate.

never mind- found one in Burien. :)

This isn’t tantalizing gossip, and this isn’t an isolated problem. This needs to be nipped in the bud before it becomes like John Stanford.

I know there are people out there in the same situation we are in. It doesn’t just impact one school. Every time someone cuts in line, one child is bumped from each school that has more applicants than spaces.

It is north cluster and you can probably guess which one. After looking at the tight entry radius around several of the schools in the north cluster, I don’t think it’s limited to one school.

Charlabob… It’s your obstinance that is the most entertaining. Now what am I going to do with my mornings.

Hi All,

Looking for a diesel mechanic who will be able to change the oil on our 2006 Isuzu NPR. This is a truck with the forward cab and the high dump back. Would love to have this done in the West Seattle/Burien/Georgetown area. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

[charlabob]

Well, I’ve come around — JoB is a very persuasive woman….as of today, Hillary’s the one (for me). Thanks for all the good words, J.

[charlabob]

G-d, I hope it’s not an April Fool’s joke. I say, Go Dina!

Although I find it tough to give any credence to someone who calls him or herself “etherhuffer”, for the sake of this discussion I will. EH, I think you like to preach on matters which you’re not well-informed. I walk both the bluff and beaach of Lincoln Park several times a year and have done so for the last 11 years. I’ve NEVER seen a dog fight. I once saw a dog just after it had been attacked by another. That other had been on a leash at the time, for all of you anti-off-leash people.

I went to the Ballard Market last weekend, where dogs are allowed. The sign at the entrance requests short leashes and people keep their dogs on short leashes. There was no misbehavior, no nipping, and no barking. There was plenty of meeting and greeting, friendliness, and companionability. And there were dozens of people who walked to the market.

All of which is to say: what’s uncivilized about that?

[Shibaguyz]

AGAIN… there was an answer found and posted here on this thread. I have made my choice about what I will do about it. Already stated that in an earlier post too. Anything else you’d like explained to you AGAIN so you’ll get the point?

That’s funny cruiser. But I say let her go. She looks like she’s enjoying herself.

April 1st right?

[dinazina]

Dina Lydia Johnson – that’s me. I’m audaciously asking for votes, votes, votes!

Hello, Precinct Delgates for Obama!

740 of us from the West Seattle area are expected at the next Democratic Caucus:

34th LD Caucus

West Seattle High School

Saturday April 5th

About 33 will be elected to go on. I intend to be one of them.

My campaign page is HERE:

http://citizen-artiste.org/vote4dinajohnson.htm

I’ve put links to the reasons why I deserve the honor of representing Washington State Obama supporters at The National Convention in Denver.

I’m an artist. As a passionate and creative person, I’ve gone the extra mile for the local Dems and for the Peace and Justice movement. I’m a public campaigns advocate, a producer of political theater, a blogger, a neighborhood organizer.

Obama has earned my respect and support. I hope I have earned yours!

I you have any questions, ask away…the email address is on my page.

Thank you!

Too many Sapporos. Hiccup. In all fairness, I went back to the original post. In all fairness, I do hope you get an answer from the organization that sets up the market. But if they give you a reason that counters what you want, will you accept it or continue to try to join the country club that does not want a particular member?

I happen to like dogs very much, have owned them over the years, now stuck with two cats, well taken care of. But I simply find the desire to impose what can be a nuisance to others a self absorbed passtime. Like blogging.

In Paris and abouts, I never saw one dogfight. I never saw a dog snatching food from the table of a restaurant. etc etc(pronounced “eksetera for the linguistically lazy). I can find a dog dust-up in Seattle just about any day of the week, Alki being a particualarly bad spot, followed by Lincoln Park’s secluded beach. Our bright, shiny, politically correct jewel by the sound is simpy not as civilized with its dogs as you might imagine, and the Market organizers likely don’t want lawyers hanging around with photos of dog bite victims and claims for lots of money. Hope you get your answer.
