Hey m, I was in the women’s gym at All-Star last night. There is a sign that says “Rerack your weights after use.” Actually, I didn’t see anything out of place. I’ve only gone there twice now (just this week, as a guest, as I’m checking out local gyms) and so far I like it. I am going to try a spinning class next — looks like the Friday evening spins are wide open for more participants! : ) How long ago were you a member there?

The Alki Bathhouse has an interesting space. Of course, there’s Salty’s, which probably isn’t cheap, but they do have flexible spaces on the lower floor.

I think this all depends on how many guests and food… your style. It’s tough having a wedding in winter only because it’s so cold. Just means you may be spending a little more. Wedding and reception in same place? that’s another thing to consider.

If you have a good friend with a cool house, that can be wonderful. Camp Long has a facility. Old Lodge kinda place. The YMCA?? What about the church. Do they have a reception area? They sometimes give a discount if using the church and reception area, also if there is a wedding there the same day, you might be able to share decorations.

Congratulations, may love shine on you always.

Dear Katydid:

Assuming you have new batteries in the one that doesn’t work (I know, but I had to say it), open the cover of the one that does work. Each of those little white switches and the three (i think) positions together form a code. Get a piece of paper and mark down the switch positions of the controller that does work. Close it back up.

Open the one that doesn’t work. Are the switches in the same position as the one that works? If so, you need a new controller. Note the brand and type of opener and you might be able to buy a replacement controller.

If the switches are in different positions, set them the same as the controller that works. Reset the cover and try it.

Good Luck – JD

WSMom,

The folks that are the P-Patch people, can help.

Apparently they can look into different “groups” ie. church, owner of property if it’s on their property, or maybe even the school. Any way, we would first contact the P-Patch people and see about he lot. There is no such thing as too many gardens, in my opinion.

[Alec]

We recently got engaged (only days ago), yeah!

We are hoping for a NOV ’08 wedding with the ceremony at a local West Seattle Church (already have a church in mind).

My question is:

What are some good places to have reception in West Seattle? We are fairly price conscious.

Thanks!

Ken…funny, sad, true…I rent…no mortgage…hehe…

“Prayingman’s comments are exactly why it’s frustrating and futile to discuss religion.”

It’s only futile because you make it so. You’re the one who is closing off to it, not I. Where I’d like to find common ground with you, you’re opposed to it for only reasons you know.

“The friendly I’m just stating my opinion routine is a fallacy. There is no mutual respect for my choices.”

There’s mutual respect, certainly. Does it mean you’re right for it? Nope. Does it mean I’m going to hold you to the fire for it? Nope! You know, JT, there used to be rumors of molestors who wanted the right to be able to love young male kids. Let me guess, you respect them and their right to want to do so, right?

“In the end, you still turn your “opinions” into a sermon and an attempt to recruit. You still choose to not accept my beliefs by stating you know god works through EVERYONE. Really? That insults me. Keep your god to yourself or to those that ask. It’s not like there is a living, breathing person that hasn’t been made aware of religion.”

You mean like the sermon you responded with? Again, I will voice my opinions as much as you or anyone else will. Accept your beliefs? What might those be exactly, JT? I’m listening. And if you don’t believe in *my* God, that’s for you to deal with, but don’t be so insulted by somehting / someone that doesn’t exist. Welcome to the real world, JT. Intolerance hurts, doesn’t it? And, if you don’t want to hear about it, don’t bring it up or give me reason to post specifically about religion or God. Think about it the next time you say His name in vein. Like it or not, I bet you say it, don’t you? Just remember, that saying is in reference to God.

“People like to use the line “you’re just anti-christian” to excuse their constantly bad behavior.”

JT – I feel for you, if that’s what you got from my other post. Do yourself a favor and read it over, so that you can see you’ve got me pegged totally wrong. But if you insist, go on, tell me my constant bad behavior. Jaded, jaded, jaded, are you, JT.

“It’s rude to try and sell something to those who aren’t interested in buying. I can’t believe how many times a discussion has turned into someone listing bible verses on how to get saved.”

You’re 100% right. It’s just as rude for others to respond the way they do. How about something along the lines of what Jan might say? She differs in her views but at least has the decency to be polite and cordial about it. Give a punch, take a punch!

“Would it be ok to turn every new sponsor thread into a personal pitch for Amway and Mary Kay? I’m really surprised this is such a hard concept to comprehend.”

Keep trying JT, you’ll get it. No, it wouldn’t ok.

“Sorry Ken. Can I start a new thread for you to get back on topic? “

And next, you’ll want to preface it with, “Christians Not Welcome”. Again, if you want to stay on topic, at least be cordial about it. Just don’t expect for me to be quiet when you open up this topic. Read my posts, JT and Ken, and you’ll see that I’m as interested in our community and what’s going on as much as anyone else. Not everything has to be about religion or God for many reasons, but mainly out of RESPECT for others views.

How does next Saturday work?

Anyone else want to jump on board?

[PrayingMan-tis-i]

Sorry, Ken, but this conversation has gone a different direction, and points were brought into it in spite of you or I. I will not sit by and allow JT and others to be the only influence around here. Either way, from my standpoint, I addressed my opinion about evolution / creation. I will say to you, Ken, that the idiots walking amongst us are as much *Christian* as they are ANYONE ELSE! No corners the market on being a hypocrite or anything else of the sort, even if that’s how some may wish it to be. Again, Ken, this is bigger than you or I and ultimately, we all stand to win or lose because of it.

Whether this matters to you at all I cannot say, but I try not to lump you into any one label because I do not know you. Can you carry this conversation by doing the same? What about my statements do you not understand? Here it is again, one paint brush stroke doesn’t paint an entire wall.

What I see in your words is fear that perhaps who you thought were bible-thumping people that you seem to dispise may not actually be true. Believe it.

I hear some of you say that Christians are close-minded folks. Guess what? You’re right there with me. Fairy tales? Okay, if that’s what you think. But I bet you have your own. Try living life by loving people and attempting to get along with them.

I certainly do not have whatever fears you think I have. Sorry to disappoint.

There’s a patch of seemingly unused land at the south end of West Seattle HS (next to the Episcopal church) that I think would be a wonderful spot for a pea-patch. It’s already fenced and gets lots of sunshine. I wonder how one goes about siteing a new pea patch? It could be a great opportunity for the high school students to learn hands-on organic gardening etc.

JoB, many many young women I know don’t care for Hillary (and I am referring to Democratic women here, in our 20s and 30s.) To imply that because we disagree with you, we must be victims of the right wing hate machine is insulting. Reasonable people can disagree about the best direction for the party (which I still think would have been Edwards, actually). The Old Democrat ways don’t work any more and have not stopped the neo-cons from doing their damage to the country. We have to try a different way, and maybe Obama can offer that (maybe he can’t, but I know Hillary can’t, or she would have showed it by now.)

NewResident, are you even a Democrat?

[JimmyG]

So did you call the city?

I’m not sure what law the owners would be violating by not fixing it right away–probably waiting for insurance $$ to fix it.

[JimmyG]

Call Seattle Animal Control and make a complaint. They base their patrols partly on complaints and people tend to use the same parks over and over again when they illegally “exercise” their dogs off leash.

[BobLoblaw]

Screw Hillary. I’m voting for JoB.

Keith, Yes they are planning on moving to South Lake Union. I don’t remember the timeline off the top of my head, or actually if it’s a 100% done deal that they will be moving there.

.

They’ve been planning a move from their current location for quite some time now. Maybe close to ten years. They were going to move to the WA State Convention Center, and that space was used by the Seattle Library as a temp location for their Downtown branch as the new one was being built. I believe MOHAI actually owns the space, and was renting it out to SPL.

.

Being a native, and as much of a traditionalist I am, and that I generally hate to see change, i think a move to larger quarters is great. They could bring ,ore exibits out from “the back room”, plus a tie-in to the Maritime Museum will be great. Especially since the curent location will likely be affected by the 520 expansion/replacement plans.

There’s also one just east of Sealth high school.

I did not start this thread to discuss religion.

Religion seems to be involved because it is pretty much only the subset of christianist who think the literal interpretation of genesis and other tales from the Bible should trump not only paleontology and biology but geology, cosmology, astronomy, genetics and a hundred other fields of study, who also seek the political power to ram that insanity down the throats of the rest of is.

If you want to experiment with the living conditions inside a whale, be my guest.

If you want to attempt to breed animals of various coloration by controlling what they see when they drink water, go for it and the best of luck to you.

http://bible.cc/genesis/30-37.htm

But if you expect sane humans to allow the idiots among us to control the education of public school children in a way that denies all reason and rationality, all measurable evidence and observable interaction, and tries to equate astronomy with astrology, then we shall have a fight for the future.

Children can recover from the fairy tales of youth as long as they are allowed to think and learn.

They may not recover from dogma taught as science.

Now mainstream Christians seem to get upset when I point out the ugly side of the Fundamentalist Bibliolatry. I can only assume it to be for one reason. Your particular sect or denomination has been slowly poisoned by the same heresy. The worship of the Bible rather than the Deity.

http://www.newreformation.org/heresy3.htm

Science and especially Evolution has nothing to say concerning the origins of the universe or matters of faith. But it torments those who would use peoples spiritual nature as a means to control them, and enslave their God given minds and intelligence.

“If we go back to the beginning we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned or disfigured them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them, and that custom, respect and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of men serve its own interests.”

— Paul-Henri Thiry, baron d’Holbach (1723 – 1789)

I recommended her in another thread and I can’t say enough good things about her, but Eileen with Go Paws Go is WONDERFUL! I don’t know about the short notice, she has always been able to accommodate us, though. She is really great. I would check into it.

[hopey]

I unfortunately need to go out of town soon, on short notice, and my regular dog walker/sitter will not be able to care for my two dogs while I am gone.

I am open to sending my dogs someplace for overnight care, but will only consider a home-like environment. I have one 14 month old 60 lb. dog and a 5 month old puppy.

Does anyone have an in-house overnight dogsitter they trust who might be available on short notice? or a “home pet care” service to recommend? Thanks!

Friday the 22nd. Roxhill park. Man in black Subaru with a large black standard poodle (poodles! thats another rant) playing catch in the soccer field with no regard for the rules that say dogs need to be on a leash.

Ok, so we do have a P-Patch, but…would anyone be interested in saving a vacant lot hopefully from development, and trying to secure a spot for a second WS P-Patch, or community garden?

Thanks to Jill I found more info and the P-Patch folks could help by finding a way to buy or lease the land, and getting it started. Maybe this is a lot to take on? But if we could save some of WS from development…?

[Crowe]

Jill, thanks for the info! I had NO idea there was one so close. I put myself on the waiting list. :0)

I probably walked by it 100 times.

thanks again, Cheers.
