May 30, 2016 at 6:59 pm #845891eastonterrierParticipantIs anyone interested in a couple of hours of outside work on Wednesday, June 1, from 8-10am? I have a blower truck scheduled to deliver 13 cubic yards of GroCo and we need two people to handle the hose. My husband decided it would be a good idea to break his wrist today, so he is out of commission. I will pay $40 (even if it takes us less than 2 hours). Just need someone to help keep the hose from dragging over and breaking the plants and to relay signals to the truck driver.

May 30, 2016 at 4:47 pm #845874anonymeParticipantJulie, please look up the word “literally”. I haven’t heard of any bodies discovered that have been “shredded up”. And it’s “these”, not “these ones”.
If you prefer to enter only into discussions that are free of intellect, you should have no problem finding some. Alternatively, you and Betty could start one of your own.
I hold some pretty conservative views on certain issues, and I’m not afraid to say so. But when someone initiates a discussion with a post full of wild (unsubstantiated, inaccurate) accusations and assertions, with a healthy dose of proselytizing thrown in for good measure, and does so in a way that is not only factually but grammatically incorrect, then they’ve pretty much asked for any corrections that may come their way. Their, not there.
May 30, 2016 at 1:17 pm #845846JanSParticipantwell, Julie…the OP was not exactly nice in her post…how can you have a conversation with anyone when they start off denigrating other posters, other people? It IS a two way street, you know.
May 30, 2016 at 12:01 pm #845835julie98106ParticipantThanks and well said Betty. You may soon be blocked,I have been for long time periods. Most people with any conservative ideas are literally shredded up.I wish people in Seattle were nicer, but you can see some of these ones are not. I enjoy active online debates, it would be much better without the intellectual elitism.

WSBKeymasterSo far, along with the every-few-weeks visit by Rambo (WSB sponsor but we’d patronize them even if they weren’t) to spray the periphery of the foundation and spots where the ants are observed getting in, we have kept them fairly well in check by immediately wiping down every place they’re spotted. Just water. I am relentless. Even one ant. Ever since I read about how they send out sentinels whose secreted trails are followed by others from the nest, I figured the least I can do is to interrupt those trails. Also, other coping tactics we’ve learned from past years – no accessible food (an opened bag or box of something goes into a ziplock bag … I hate using so much plastic but I hate an ant-ridden kitchen even worse), the cat’s food floats on a small pool of water in a bowl so there’s a “moat” to keep the ants out. Our utility-room trash container is less popular with the ants the past couple years since the city edict to compost food waste – someone in a WSB discussion mentioned the genius practice of keeping scraps in the freezer until it’s collection day, so that’s what we do, and the trash bag therefore has less for the ants. I know how relentless they can be no matter how much action you take, though, so I totally sympathize. We may just be lucky this year in that they haven’t been stirred up so much – the utility crews that often visit the vault out in the street in front of our house haven’t been around, for example – TR

birdrescuerParticipantI have them popping up in places they never appeared before. It is an ongoing battle. I find liquid Terro works well. When they get too bad I call Progressive Pest Control to do the inside and out. That usually lasts a couple of years.
May 29, 2016 at 6:55 am #845721In reply to: Left lane drivers
JoBParticipantI agree that keeping to the right except to pass makes great sense on freeways.. but on city arterials using the left hand lane as a passing lane works only until someone has to turn left.. and then those speeding up to pass have to come to a screeching halt…
i love to watch the road jockeys speed up to wait for me to catch them at the next light.. or better yet to come to a screeching halt behind someone turning left.
i try to resist the temptation to wave at them as i pass ;-)
May 29, 2016 at 6:49 am #845720JoBParticipantit’s easy to become disillusioned
but anyone who thinks the outcome of this election doesn’t really matter has forgotten that in the end the law of this land is determined by our Supreme Court.the likelihood of four vacancies not including the present one in the next 4 years is pretty high.

May 29, 2016 at 1:24 am #845710metrognomeParticipantwait for it … wait for it … a federal judge (Gonzalo Curiel) in a [no-]class-action suit has ruled that internal documents from Trump U must be released by June 2 (a separate suit alleging deceptive business practices brought by the NY AG is underway as well.) Trump, citing his comments about the Wall (no, not the Pink Floyd album,) accused the ‘Mexican’ judge of being biased because of his presumed Mexican heritage (let’s see, a square is a wrecked angle, so anyone with a Hispanic sounding name who appears to dislike rump must be Mexican,) Even still, rump said that being presumably Mexican is ‘great’ and ‘fine.’ (The judge was born in Indiana, which in Trumpworld is a ciudad in Mexico.) Trump suggested that the judge recuse himself because he has made so many ‘negative, negative, negative’ rulings that he must be ‘a hater’ of Trump. Due to the code of judicial ethics, the judge cannot respond.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/internal-trump-university-records-must-be-released-federal-judge-rules/ar-BBtB9Lf#image=1 (warning – put your orange-blocking sunglasses on; when I opened this page, it defaulted to a YUGE picture of rump, which is now burned into my retinas. btw, MSN is a great place for articles from a variety of papers that might otherwise charge for viewing articles.)
and, if you feel the American Dream is more of a nightmare, you shouldn’t read this NYT article … how many palatial homes does vulture capitalist Mittens Romney own while he off-shores his money to avoid paying for his fair share of what makes America grate? (yes, the misspelling is purposeful.)
can’t wait for his taxes to be released … anyone remember that the IRS audited Tricky Dick when he was the sitting president? Over 3 years, his income totaled around $900k but he had only paid $6k in federal taxes. He was required to pay something like $450k in taxes, interest and penalties. Spiro got audited too with similar results. This was how the ‘time-honored tradition’ of candidates releasing their returns got started. (thanks to Rachel Maddow!)
May 28, 2016 at 8:27 pm #845702In reply to: Left lane drivers
KBearParticipantExactly, VVT. I thought the keep right signs were ridiculous until I moved here and became acquainted with Washington drivers. Might as well post the entire drivers’ manual on roadside signs. It would be the first time some of them had ever read it. If they bothered to look up from their phones, that is.
May 28, 2016 at 3:07 pm #845682mpentoParticipantPrudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
I have looked for Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness only to find a career, a mortgage and managing to keep my head above water. The latter being available to me in such an unpalatable form that it excludes the former. The american dream is being corrupted into the corporation nightmare. I don’t know if I will vote in November but I certainly did not caucus or vote in the primary stuff. Republican or democrat, small handed lying misogynist or lying cuckold lush, tv personality or career politician, they are part of the problem. I include Bernie because he ran as a democrat and now harvests the consequences. They are the weeds that have grown in the vineyard. I am disgusted that they are given the time and attention that they get. It is wrong that we vote with hope instead of consequences. We reward politician promises with our future rather than assessing them on ability and past choices and then wonder how they fooled us again. I can only get some solace in seeing the emptiness in their eyes when they glimpse that they are even more mired in the nightmare than the people that vote for them.
WINTER IS COMINGMay 28, 2016 at 12:10 am #845647dobroParticipant“Free College ? Really ? If i walked up to any Liberal downtown…”
Yes, downtown, where only the liberals go. Oh, I forgot to capitalize the L in Liberal like all the RWNJ emails do. Are people really so dense that they think “free” public education is actually free? Ever hear about “taxes”? We pay taxes and then that money is “redistributed” (as the Liberals would say) for functions that our representatives in Gov’t decide are priorities. Some people think education is a really smart way to use our tax money to improve society for all of us, even the non-liberals. Hence, extending tax funded “free” public education thru college. Sheesh!
Mostly, I just feel sorry for her kids.
May 27, 2016 at 8:49 pm #845636JoBParticipantif we stopped giving immensely profitable corporations all our free stuff there would be plenty left to fund things like education…

FranciParticipantI did file a complaint with the FCC. I guess I didn’t give them my phone # as I did receive a letter in the mail from CL stating that the could not do any research without it.
I do find that a little hard to believe. The account that I had with them for the last 20 years, 14 of which were at my current address, were billed to my name and address that is on the letter itself. Seems like a simple search in their database would give her the phone # I had for this address.
I emailed her today with the phone # that I had with them. I’ll update this thread with any response I receive.
May 27, 2016 at 3:32 pm #845611anonymeParticipantI don’t see free college as being any different than a public K-12 education. If Betty had completed either one, she might be able to present a more rational argument, free of spelling, grammatical, and judgment errors. The United States is no longer the world’s greatest nation, and our declining status has a lot to do with lack of education – not too much of it. More civilized countries, like Sweden and Norway, offer free college. They also are highest on the happiness index. Can’t say that for most Americans these days. The fact is that the safety net and benefits of all kinds have shriveled to nothing, except for the very rich.
May 27, 2016 at 2:53 pm #845606LTParticipantSmitty, I do agree that there is a struggle, but I just didn’t really imagine that after having 10 years of experience in my specialty career that I would still be walking a fine line. My car is very used and gas efficient, I don’t take expensive vacations and I bought far below the market price for West Seattle homes selling today. I am aware that I am doing better than most which makes me want a better system for everyone. We all know that trickle-down doesn’t work. The evidence is there that building your economy from the ground-up strengthens the community and fuels a successful economy.
May 27, 2016 at 1:56 pm #845595SmittyParticipantLT, you have a mortgage – and a two income household – which is more than most can say in this city. From the sound of it you are relatively young (30?).
We can’t have everything we want right away. Maybe you bought too much home? Maybe you lease new cars every 2 years? Maybe you take expensive vacations? Maybe none of those are the case.
My wife and I struggled until about our early 40’s when after work promotions and cost cutting we finally stopped living check to check. Now we are catching up on retirement savings. It CAN be done, albeit not easily and without sacrifice. Not everyone can be a CEO, and regardless, reducing CEO salaries by 90% won’t make a bit of difference anyway as it’s not a zero sum game.
Just remember that a lot of those high-end German cars are leased by people living in rented housing. You are probably doing way better than you think.
