    skeeter..

    ask and you shall receive …

    all those years thumbing through card catalogs really helps when diving the google dumpster

    http://www.oecd.org/gender/data/genderwagegap.htm

    the short answer as to what most affects the gender wage gap is collective bargaining.. though this author has thrown plenty of other variable in as well.

    i am sure you will find some place in this to hang your hat.

    Jan … I did actually try to walk calmly through the law with both Spaulding and the Secretary. The former overtalked me the entire 5ish minutes and the latter went to accusations of harassment about 1 minute into the 2-minute phone call. Because I didn’t want to harass … or demean or curse or lose my cool … I chose to just be sorta gob-smacked.

    KBear … That is what an adult would do, but I’m not feelin’ it. *lol* Seriously, though, I really don’t want these folks to target me as “their enemy” and it was a reaction of hostility and condescension when I spoke with them years ago, so … not pleasant. So I guess like all rants here, I’m purging through griping.

    Kgdlg … I briefly weighed what you are saying. I disagree this qualifies as a rule-breaking rant. Spaulding has been “in charge” of this neighborhood for well over a decade; he is consistently shown, quoted, self-promoting, and recognized by the Delridge Council as a “leader” of this community; and my complaints are very much honed into his and the Gang’s decisions and actions (all documented on their website, the Delridge Council’s site, and the WSB) as they affect the neighborhood, not who sleeps with whom, who sleeps off hangovers til noon, who runs around in their underwear to mow the lawn, ala the Harper Valley. I know zero about any of these people’s personal lives, with the exception of Spaulding’s birthday, because his party was featured on the Gang’s site as of interest to the neighborhood. While their volunteer time is to be commended, they are also sanctioned and supported by a city department (too lazy to go look it up right now) and receive taxpayer funding at times for some projects here and there. They’re political figures.

    West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day was created by an organization called Megawatt 11 years ago, in the vein of Greenwood Garage Sale Day, which was at the time the biggest such day in the region. WSCGSD was an immediate success but they decided to call it quits after a few years and asked if anyone wanted to take it on. We did. We cut the fees they had charged and made some other changes such as adding an online, clickable, etc. map to the printable one and maintaining a website. We also promote it around the region with as many paid and unpaid ways we can find. We have not raised the fees since setting them at lower rates in 2008, even as it’s grown. (And the basic $12 fee is less than the $15/$20 basic Greenwood fee.)

    Anyway, yes, the fees cover the costs of coordination, map creation, promotion (including the time we spend on it on our site). The map is available to, and promoted to, people from far beyond West Seattle as we have adjusted the deadline over the years so that it will be done one week in advance (more typical for community garage sale days is for it to be ready a day or two ahead). People have told us they’ve had shoppers from as far away as Wenatchee.

    Anything left over from costs supports continued WSB operations in covering and publishing community news 24/7/365, as well as our efforts to support the community via paid sponsorships of multiple events each year.

    But if you don’t want to support WSCGSD, no law says you have to pay to have a garage sale on May 9th. While we’re driving around on WSCGSD with “as-it-happens coverage” every year, we notice some here and there that we know weren’t on the list/map. We don’t stop and wag a finger. Maybe they didn’t know.

    P.S. We also offer free garage-sale listings (and job listings) here in the forum year-round, and have for years.

    Thanks for asking – TR

    I came home last week to find a Pigeon Point Neighborhood Council (PPNC, aka the Pete Spaulding Gang) newsletter hanging off the flag of my mailbox. More than 10 years ago, I explained to him (then “President”) and the then “Secretary” that this was a Federal offense and to knock it off … pretty please … with sugar on top. He scoffed at me and was willing to draw down on that not being true, as did the “Secretary,” who upon being encouraged to go read up on this law said I was harassing her. I called both Spaulding and the Secretary the next time the newsletter was put in my mailbox and was met with the same indifference and demeaning attitudes. I then called the Delridge Council and spoke to the then “President,” who apparently was only feigning concern, because newsletters continue to be disposed of in my mailbox, on the flag of the mailbox, and/or on my porch.

    Aside from the fact I consider this group of five or so narcissists to be … just that–yeah, some people like to create power positions when they can’t legitimately earn them–my primary beef with the Gang was that they publicized in their newsletter that the solution to cleaning up their neighborhood of drugs, junk cars, barking dogs, and general nuisances was to contact the “owners of the properties to report renters.” Uh … I was a renter then and found that more than offensive. In addition, on their website at that time, they posted the home phone number of a commercial property owner and encouraged residents to call his number “at all hours” to complain about light pollution coming from one or two of his industrial-strength lights. I called this gentleman about this, solved the mystery for him of his numerous crank calls he’d been getting, and also learned from him that he had been made aware of the problem and in fact it was not his property with the offending lights. He, too, was unable to reason with the Gang. I have all of this printed out in hard copy.

    Back to last week. I was prompted to go deeper into the latest Gang shenanigans on the WSB and found their most recent “we are above all laws” stunt–the posting of an illegal sign on city(??) property regarding dogs at/near Pathfinder. No surprise there. I could not care less about the dog issues and illegal or legal signs pooping or popping up around the hood–I do care about a self-selected few who think they own the joint … and don’t. Further digging reveals the Gang is getting ready to paint a “mural” on 21st and Genesee to “pretty up the place” and “calm traffic.” How is this any different from graffiti that some errant teen tags on a wall? It’s not as far as I’m concerned. And if the art style is to follow what this neighborhood typically endures on the signs posted periodically on the sacred Gang-sanctioned sticks, we’ll probably be seeing Spaulding’s mug every time we enter or exit our community.

    All of this has been discussed with “the management” (see above) and while I at one time freely bandied about my name and particulars with these folks I choose not to do so now because I genuinely worry about retaliation–gawd forbid if a stray dandelion or abandoned car engine oozes out from the grass in my yard.

    So there’s a Car2Go parked in front of my house, since yesterday afternoon, and the radio is on. I can only hear it outside, so it’s not a nuisance, but I’m sure the battery will be dead soon.

    I’ve emailed them and not heard back. Does anyone know of a better way to contact them? (I’m not a subscriber)

    I would start by getting recommendations for contractors and kitchen designers and get at least a few to come out and take a look at your space. We ended up not going with a general contractor for our own kitchen remodel which had its pluses and minuses. We did some of the work ourselves to save money which allowed us to splurge in other areas (better quality cabinetry and counters). We did have a fairly clear idea of what we wanted to do with the space which helped (and also didn’t have to make a ton of structural, electrical or plumbing changes – we removed one non supporting wall and added lighting). I’ve heard great things about a number of WS contractors and also have friends who’ve used these folks with great and affordable results. http://www.smystore.org. If you really don’t have a clear vision yet, do lots of research and definitely talk to a designer. Good luck! Remodeling our kitchen was the best money we’ve spent on our house and I am sure you will feel the same when it’s all said and done! I am sure others will have recommendations for local GCs or architects who can help.

    I highly recommend Laurie McKechnie here in West Seattle. I worked with her after my divorce and through a couple of other life changing events. I really appreciated her ability to guide me through these events, gaining clarity, accepting responsibility and eventually, moving forward with my life and not allowing past events to be the determinants of my future.

    HRT45, I’ve been through a divorce too, after an almost 20-year marriage and I may be able to relate to a lot of what you’re going through right now. If you’d like to email me I’d be glad to talk – me email address is my name on this forum, at gmail dot com. (I’m female, late 40s, if it’s a concern.)

    In any case, know that it takes time but once you’re through the worst of it, things do get better.

    JTB, There is no longer a PM function here on the Forums, but if one of you is willing to post an email addy, that might work. Perhaps create a “disposable” (like gmail) addy just for this.

    In any case, be sure to take the proper precautions of typing it out with any combination of safeguards such as spelling out “at”, and/or “dot, and/or putting spaces in your posting of the addy.

    HRT45, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m divorced a year now, and two years ago I started seeing Laura Tsang who is on 41st between Alaska and Edmunds. She’s been really great and helpful and helped me to sort things out before, during and after the divorce. http://lauratsang.com She is also an in-network provider for Premera (don’t know about others), if that’s relevant to you.

    I wanted to say that I also felt very stuck at the beginning of the process and wasn’t sure what I wanted. Time and therapy helped me to sort stuff out. Good luck to you.

    Our happy little family is looking for a babysitter to look after our sweet 7month old baby girl in our home while I (Mom) work from home. Primary duties are to provide stimulation and entertainment, read books (she loves being read to), change the occasional diaper, and give the occasional bottle. In other words, hang out with the baby for a couple hours so I can focus on work.

    Babygirl is easy-going and happy but starting to be more mobile, and I am finding it more challenging to keep an eye on her and get my work done. Myself and my hubby are happy, active and educated folks who love to ski and mountain biker. Babygirl is our first (and only) kid and we live far from family, so we need some help.

    This would be a great, easy, and fun summer (or after school) job for a mature high school or college student, or anyone who loves babies.

    We are looking for someone to help 2 or 3 days per week on the weekdays. Exact days are totally flexible based on your schedule. Ideal hours are 2:30/3:00 to 5:30pm, but again, we are flexible on exact timing, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if another time works better for you. There will also be an opportunity to work during the weekends and evenings. Evening weekend hours are not necessary, however, so don’t let that deter you if you only have daytime availability.

    Please contact Nikki at nikkiplatte@gmail.com if you’re interested and tell us a bit about yourself.

    Hourly rate DOE. Must have own transportation or ability to get to our home without our help. (We live on 38th near the Alaska Junction)

    Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks!

    i posted these in a new topic because i didn’t want to add fuel to an existing fire but did find these germaine to a greater conversation

    and.. i did so before i saw that the other topic had been closed…

    i considered deleting the topic after i had posted it once i saw the other topic was closed… but i won’t remember tomorrow or the next day where i found them so i am letting them stand.

    fire away or ignore them

    i am unlikely to be offended either way

    The seven steps.. distilled

    1) I didn’t do it

    2) It’s not my problem

    3) It was a fluke/ out of character

    4) I am not guilty by association

    5) you’r over-reacting/ hyper sensitive

    6) You’re thinking i am a _____ based on an actual thing i have said or done can’t be allowed to stand

    7) Your mentioning ______ is an affront to our sensibilites

    ok.. i lifted this from a facebook post that came from a daily kos article..

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/10/1376881/–Redneck-s-viral-video-calls-for-other-whites-to-post-their-own-white-racial-responsility-videos

    for context in these specific 7 steps, the guy (dmitcha) overhears racist slurs against latinos while standing in a group of people that includes latinos…

    “The Seven Steps of Denial that next unfolded took less than 20 minutes (this sometimes happened over the course of days in college):

    1) “I didn’t do it.” Wide-eyed stare and shrug from one of the listeners.

    2) “It’s not my problem.” The other listener walks away.

    3) “It was a fluke/out of character.” The man I addressed said, “I’m sorry, I never say things like that.” (I reply, “It’s not my business if you say it, but you can’t say it here where I live.”)

    4) “I’m not guilty by association/One of my best friends is___.” The man I addressed said, “I’m sorry. My uncle is Hispanic, I mean not one of THOSE Hispanics, he didn’t come over on a boat–” I cut him off, admittedly. I said, “You are sorry you were overheard. And I’m guessing your uncle does not know you call Latinos w***.” I turn to the wide-eyed guy, who is muscular, covered in tattoos and has short-cropped hair. “Can you relate to this a little? I’m guessing people see you and think you’re an ex-con or just cross the street.” The tattooed man says, “Why are you making this about me?” I reply that “it’s everyone’s responsibility to say something.”

    5) “You’re overreacting/hyper-sensitive.”The tattooed man says, “People are too hyper-sensitive to this stuff.” I reply, “No, people are under-sensitive.” He walks away.

    6) “I’ll just assert my inherent entitlement/dominance/superiority over you.” The man I addressed steps up and firmly says, “I said I’m sorry. You want to call the police?” I say just as firmly, “Are you kidding? You’re in my home. You can go.” Another resident comes over and asks who invited him and whose fault he is (literally). I walk back to watch the race.

    6) “Your thinking I’m a racist, based on an actual thing I’ve just said or done, cannot be allowed to stand.” The man I addressed does not leave. He keeps coming over to apologize, to say he isn’t a racist, to mention his Hispanic uncle again, etc. Another resident, who is White and married to a Latina, tells him he’d have punched him in the face if his wife had been outside. I ignore the man I’d originally addressed and watch the marathon.

    7) “Your mentioning race is an affront to our sensibilities.” No one at the gathering speaks to me for the rest of the marathon, and the resident who’d invited the man I addressed stops speaking to me in passing.”

    i don’t know if he lifted them.. i couldn’t source the 7 steps of denial on google.. but i love how they could be applied to most instances of “insensitivity” to color/race, sex, sexual orientation and/or any other form of differentness we could name.

    well done.

    Job- I also dont click on every user name that pops up and check to see if it is their first visit, maybe I should. I didn’t relise that it was ok to be disrespectful only after they have properly been welcomed. Because we have all been acquainted it’s ok to infer that i am guilty of; “I’m really not a fan of seeing kids slapped around verbally or otherwise, to toughen them up so they can face a harsh and cruel world in as cold a manner as possible.” or this ” I don’t think we should be teaching women that either… or the elderly.” If you want to talk strictly about courtesy to all who post, I’m listening and will re evaluate my interactions. But the second you start accusing me of singling out certain groups or kids, ya I’m going to take it personally. So if you want me to take you seriously, let’s stop trying to make me out to be something I’m not.

    Ok, for those of you explaining what children need in their lives and how to treat them. I assume this is directed at me because most of this discussion has been. You are taking one comment I made prior to knowing age, sex, race, religion, etc. It was a user name to me, I don’t make assumptions about those things based off of a persons writing style. Now that this turned out to be a student, I am suddenly bullying children and this must be how I treat them in all situations. Talk about making assumptions about people. Would everyone have preferred me to tare through the OP’s post in the usual way that some of you having a problem with this are known to do? Would that student have left feeling heard and accepted as most of you feel she should have? Let’s be real here. If that had been someone posting about how women shouldn’t be allowed to get abortions or gays should not be allowed to marry and it was full of completely unfounded statistics, I’m sure everyone would be totally polite and accepting of their thoughts. It’s easy to come along after all the information has come out and tell everyone how you would have known it was a student and how it would have been handled had it been you. But for some of you, based off of your past interactions around here, what you say you would have done is not consistent with what you typically do. As I said before, had I know it was a student I would have approached it differently. But it seems many of you ignore that statement and won’t miss a chance to jump all over someone.

    I also agree children need love, support and encouragement to voice their views. But if the OP was 16 as JanS states, they are fully capable of understanding there are people that don’t share their views and it will be expressed in a multitude of ways. Preparing kids and “toughening them up to face a cold hard reality” are two completely different things. I understand twisting my words makes for a better argument, but it’s not what I said.

    This:

    I’m really not a fan of seeing kids slapped around verbally or otherwise, to toughen them up so they can face a harsh and cruel world in as cold a manner as possible. This isn’t doing anything to change the world for the better, only fostering more harshness – cause I guess we don’t have enough callousness to deal with every day.

    ….and pretty much all of JoB’s Post #37, and Jan’s #41.

    I’ve been sitting on my fingers the past few days, very tempted to reply, but didn’t have the time to type up a too much detailed reply, that would likely be too long for what others my care to read.

    So, I’ll try to nutshell this.

    On the issue of how adults treat young people’s thoughts and ideas:

    What is so damn hard about saying “I don’t agree with you…”, and then posting something, hopefully with links to citations, to counter it?

    Don’t have the time? Fine. Either don’t bother replying, or at least outright say; “Sorry, don’t have time to look up sources”.

    This whole attitude that …”kids need to be toughened up, to face the harsh world”, is indeed BS.

    Yes, kids need to know that life will not always be fair and easy; that life/fate/whatever, and people may treat them like CRAP. What they need from parents, and other adults involved in their life, is to have that explained in a thoughtful way; hopefully before an incident occurs, but certainly afterward, if such an event occurs.

    I can speak from experience, on how being treated as a kid, can affect a person’s entire life, and their self confidence, and such.

    I only came to realize in maybe the last 10-12 years or so, why I had this life long “need” to please everyone, why I so often felt that my thoughts and ideas were “stupid”, why I would feel guilty about something I didn’t do; the entire class being sat down and asked: “Who threw that spitwad”, at work; “Who made that mess in the break room fridge and didn’t clean it up?” I didn’t do those things, but often felt nervous that I’d be directly accused (and that in appearing nervous, would be accused based on that)

    The way I came to realize the possible root of these feelings, was that 10 years or so ago, when a lifetime friend of mine, who had been my Mom’s best friend, mentioned how it seemed that in my Mom and Dad’s eyes, I couldn’t do anything right, apparently I was harshly criticized, where my older Brother could get away with all kinds of crap.

    I was actually surprised, because I always thought that *I* was the spoiled, overly protected one, based on how my Dad treated my Brother, and myself, after Mom died when I was 8 1/2. Dad put a lot of responsibility for my care; preparing meals, etc, on him, and my Brother is only three years older than I.

    I *could* see though, throughout later years of growing up, how being treated by others, especially those that are supposed to guide kids as they grow up, such as my Guardian, whom I lived with from around the ages of 15-19 1/2, (along with her family, including three kids very close to my age), after Dad and Step-Mom had separately died. It seemed like she highly favored her own kids (understandably, seems somewhat natural, but to an extent).

    So, in my own case life through no fault of my own as I was growing up, and even throughout adulthood, with much of it no fault of my own, basically taught me that it that it can be harsh at times. I really didn’t need the help of others, many presumably picking up on how easy was to harshly criticize me, without giving a real viable alternative to my thought/idea, because I was so emotionally vulnerable, and they could easily satisfy their own ego.

    Thoughtful, constructive criticism, especially (and hopefully) with some thoughtful guidance is fine. Kids, and people in general, especially when it’s a Newbie, is fine. At a minimum, respect. If you want to have a little more heated exchanges, (but staying within the rules), fine, after some mutual relationship is built, so that each party, and other regulars, will have some understanding of exactly where each party is coming from, based on past opinions and exchanges.

    Finally, (and this has still gone on way too long); my comments here are not to garner sympathy regarding my life experiences, just to share some thoughts on how what we say to others (and how we say it), especially new people should be considered before we say it.

    Sorry if this appears somewhat disjointed, I typed it up while being interrupted by tasks, some of which took me away from the computer for several minutes each.
