I had to send a link to this thread to my partner who’s also from MI, he had a Faygo convo w/another Michigan person last weekend.

Try the Cucina de Santis in Sodo for cannolis, he imports the ingredients from Mike’s in Boston.

OMG, bsmomma!!! I was so excited to see Faygo at Zippy’s. They told me they’d been trying to get Rock n’ Rye, but so far no luck. Speaking of Zippy’s, I always point out the ‘Big Boy’ memorabilia to locals; remember the strawberry pie?

I came out in ’85 after living in Ann Arbor for some time. Do you remember the Rationals? I was married to the bass player…

[bsmomma]

We came out in 83. Besides my fam, the Cold Snowy Winters and Hot Summers are what I miss……well and Faygo and White Castle. But you can get those in the freezer section and Faygo at Zippys! Have you heard about the Fayco Cupcakes?! Just got the recipe…..I’m going to need to whip some of those bad boys up soon! :) Yahooooo Snooooow!

GaryGnu, I hope you’re speaking with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek. You’re describing the (relatively meaningless) adjective “classy,” whereas the discussion here is about socioeconomic “class.” Someone can be “classy” (did I mention how much I despise that descriptor?) yet belong to the lower or lower-middle class in our country; conversely, one could lack “class,” yet be a member of our upper class. Paris Hilton could be an exemplar of the latter.

i would rather not ingest fecal coliform, pneumonia, a common cold, mold, mildew, or any other wee skeerit scuttlin’ beastie from a ride on the metro simply because of other people’s poor hygiene.

in other words, phil, having an immune system is no excuse for not washing your hands or covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze. or calling in sick to avoid spreading viruses.

but to then fondle the fois gras is repugnant. it has nothing to do with over-hygienation, and it doesn’t make me a germophobe.

we have health codes for a reason.

and, no, i’m not talking about anyone’s small kids, because i avoid them like the plague.

Dear hoodie-wearing white guy driver of a beat-up red old skool Honda Civic,

What the hell were you thinking, texting while driving down Lander past the playground right when school was getting out? In the 5-7 seconds between your head popping up to check the road ahead, a child could easily have darted between cars. What would you have done? What the hell were you thinking?!

Consider yourself lucky that I couldn’t cach your entire license plate number in my mirror after you passed. But just so you can identify yourself, it had a 3, an X, and T in it.

I hope you scored your weed or whatever was so goddamn important that you would risk killing a child with your car.

Not recent, but did happen on a bus…

A woman flossing her teeth.

As you can imagine… everyone within two rows of flossing distance were cringing and praying that they wouldn’t be hit with collateral teeth gunk…

What part of of “personal hygiene” doesn’t this person understand?

[redblack]

they can compost those toothpicks along with cheese rinds and fat trimmings. they don’t have to go in the landfill. :)

but i find it best not to eat from unmonitored sample trays. to paraphrase donald rumsfeld, there are too many unknowns that we know that aren’t known.

you know?

just because you didn’t see anyone with poor hygiene and/or low breeding sneezing on or groping the unmonitored cheese cubes before you wandered over doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen.

btw…

many playgroups don’t accept shibas..

and unless the dog is well socialized dog parks are not a great idea for shibas either as they tend to be more dog aggessive than other breeds.

there is a shiba meetup group that meets once a month on saturday…

if the dog is well socialized they are a great option.

I am planning to contact Seattle Parks and Recreation next week. My 2 1/2 yo daughter was playing at the new playground there yesterday. She was under the new ferry play area when she slipped, feel down and hurt the back of her head badly (knocked her head on a metal joint) because the ground was covered with dirt! Why in the world would you place a sandbox right there? It defeats the purpose of the nice playing surface they created. It is so slippery. I saw kids fell down too the other day. The focus of the renovation according to Seattle Parks and Renovation was safety improvement.

I am a concerned parent. I did bring my broom to clean up all the sand spread out everywhere under and nearby the ferry the other day but can’t imagine having to bring it every time. I did not yesterday.

anonyme, i don’t touch anything on a metro (i use my sleeve if i need to hold a hand rail), and i avoid public restrooms whenever possible. in fact, i avoid them because i look at the faucet handles when i wash my hands and i wonder just how sanitary those are. i use my sleeve to open the door afterwards.

then i burn the shirt.

don’t get me started on airplanes.

no matter how put together and groomed people may appear, i think most of us have terrible hygiene – especially the hand-washing.

and anti-bacterials may be overkill, jan, but they do save water.

to sum up, no i’m not adrian monk. one of the biggest reasons that i hate germs is that my sick days are unpaid, and i know that there are oblivious people out there spreading rhinoviruses, and coughing and sneezing into the open air.

[nighthawk]

Let me just add to the opposite side of the rant a thank you to the dog owners that do clean up after their dogs, follow the leash laws and keep them out of places doggies shouldn’t be (like playgrounds).

[flowerpetal]

Yikes, you have concerns for the children at Mt. St Vincent, and for the elders too. I don’t find that disagreeable, in fact it is to me, a genuine concern. Still, I think it is misguided. The homeless encampments have been hosted by several churches and organizations which have daycares and programs for the elderly. This has happened in Woodinville, Mercer Island, and here in Seattle (and just across the hill from us on Beacon Hill) El Centro de la Raza has a childcare program that is top rated and well respected in the community. Their playground abutted with the tent city they hosted for multiple weeks.

I’m all for you writing the Mayor and I bet you will get a reply albeit not as quickly as you wish. You will also get a response from Tom Rasmussen’s office; although it might not be the answer you will want, they will respond.

Yikes: If Mount St. Vincent has child care or day care facilities or is a school or something like that, the law provides for notice to the school/child care facility of sex offenders in the area, and there are also provisions that restrict sex offenders from living near it.

RCW 4.24.550 covers the various public notice options. The nature and type of public notice about sex offenders depends on the risk level assigned to the individual offender. Level I offenders are those that are deemed to be the lowest risk for reoffending, and there’s less notice to the community about them (although I believe you can still find them on the website). For Level II offenders, detailed information about the offender is given to schools, child care facilities, libraries, businesses, service organizatons, and neighbors and community groups near the offender’s residence and near places where the offender “is regularly found.” For level III offenders, information is provided to the public at large, usually by way of mailings and community meetings.

Apart from the offenders risk classification, the statute provides for notice to the community of any sex offenders who are homeless or transient.

The state also has some ability to control where sex offenders live. Washington has not, to my knowledge, adopted any of the draconian measures that basically force all sex offenders to live under a freeway bridge (which is what Miami did). In this state, sex offenders are required to prepare a residential plan before they can get out of prison. They are not released until their plan has been approved. If the victim of the sex offense was a child, the state is authorized to reject a proposed residence that is in “close proximity” to schools, child care centers, playgrounds, or other grounds or facilities where children similar to the crime victim are present.

After an offender is released, the probation officers supervising him or her enforce the provisions of the residential plan. Obviously, sex offenders cannot always stick with their initial plan, and it is true that many end up homeless due to their criminal record. The law does, however, require the state to keep the community where the offender is residing, even as a homeless person, informed, and sex offenders can be force to move away from child care facilities and schools while they are on supervision.

Just asked my husband where he thinks it was coming from, he said it sounded like it was near the Highland Park school playground area…

My nearly 4yr old son recently enrolled at Bluebell Playgarden. I have been impressed with the warm, nurturing and fun environment that Aiko creates. My husband & I have a high regard for the Waldorf style of learning, but we do not parent by a strict definition of Waldorf at home. Bluebell is a great place for our son because Aiko is a great teacher and the school is very small. This school is a gem in West Seattle. I recommend that families jump at the chance to take the few remaining openings!

Thanks so much sillygrrl. I did put in a request to the Seattle PD for the photos. It would be great though to talk to Mike about the status of my request. I know they received it but that’s all. I really appreciate everyone’s concern! It’s really frustrating how dishonest some people can be – but I still believe there are more honest people out there than not :) THANKS AGAIN!

[flowerpetal]

I tried to drudge up the name of the man at SPD; so if Sillygrrl has it and its the SPD phone number for him; its public record and there would be no objection to posting it here.

[aliciabb88]

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice. Yes, I agree, there are about a million things I would do differently – including taking pictures, asking the cars next to me to pull over as witnesses, and make sure the police came. All good tips! Hopefully this won’t happen again – next time I’ll be more thorough.

Sillygrrl – We were traveling South on 35th. I would love to speak with anyone that could help me get the photos from that intersection. My email is aliciabb@ufl.edu. If Mike is comfortable with me calling or emailing him that would be great!

The latest report by HarborView is that TB is up sharply among the homeless community this year because they are forced to sleep in cramped quarters in a shelter and breathe the same oxygenated air. There is a mandatory quaranteened period if one is symptomatic and will undergo numerous blood cultures in a 4 day holding period. Once determined if the individual has contracted T.B, they are given a prescripted medication(not A cure), to help combat their virus and let back out into the public. Most carriers of TB don’t give a damn about giving it to other people around them. The scary thing is that you don’t know who has it around you and hopes no one sneezes within fifteen feet from you. You can get TB just by breathing it in.

I personally have a rare auto-imnnuno deficiency illness which requires life-long infusions which isn’t A cure. I am very nervous being around dirty individuals with nasty habits. Thank gawd I am not on medicaid and have better insurance to pay for my $2,500 an infusion treatments. But one day soon, it will be cut too I’m afraid.

Has anyone ever tried to put a tiny bit of H202 in with the enviro-liquds? I haven’t tried it cuz I’m not sure it won’t eat up cotton, but it is in the “oxygen” products, right?

And, I had not heard about vinegar for static. I’ll try it along with the not-over-drying strategy. I’m guilty of that no doubt, because, good gawd, who has the time to baby sit dryer loads. ugh.

thanks gals for all the Heloise tips! ;)

Edit: B-squared – like the list. thx!
