Hi ellenator – I’ve recently had to eliminate wheat, dairy, coffee and sugar, so I can relate. I’ve been relying on PCC and Whole Foods for much of what I need. Admittedly, I’m doing it for inflammatory reasons not celiac/IBS, so it’s not like I get sick if I eat any of it, so I do go out to eat a lot and not worry about what’s in my food down to miniscule ingredients – I do have other allergies though, so I know what it’s like to have to analyze stuff.

As for the WS Whole Foods, they are breaking ground for the construction later this month. So I don’t expect we’ll see it here for quite some time.

I did find this link for gluten-free dining in Seattle, although I don’t think any are specifically in WS: http://www.innatehealthfoundation.org/5_d.htm

And this link of reviews on Yelp re: gluten-free Seattle: http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=gluten+free&find_loc=Seattle+WA

Richardson does look the best…

Last night I actually had to turn the heat on and pulled out the flannel nightgown again. And was wishing I hadn’t taken the flannel sheets off the bed 2 weeks ago. This is insane!

LOL on the Advent calendar, flowerpetal. FYI if it makes anyone feel better – I am in Minneapolis today for the first-ever conference of people who run hyperlocal news/info sites … and the weather isn’t any better. Gray and chilly. (But the transit is better! Got from the airport to the university for $1.50 via light rail and bus.) Patrick is out and about as primary WSB reporter du jour so we aren’t expecting a coverage interruption … TR

Richardson has positives and negatives. He may help Obama with an area of weakness – the Hispanic vote. He likely would not help heal the divide between Obama and the Hillary-or-nothing supporters.

Shoring up the Hispanic vote may help a lot in competing for Florida and the Southwestern states Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California). No other candidate can help in this area as much as Richardson. Arizona is almost certainly going to McCain. So is Texas. California is almost certain to vote Obama. So Richardson would be there to help with N.M. and Florida.

Then there’s the blue-collar, rust-belt voters. Hillary played strong there are well and a Hillary surrogate, like Rendell, could help deliver them. That would help with Ohio and Pennsylvania in particular. Maybe even Indiana, West Virgina and similar states. These are all states that could go either way.

The die hard Hillary supporters may not come on board unless Hillary herself is the VP nominee, preferring instead to either stay home, vote McCain or vote for an independent/thirdparty ticket. Even a Hillary backer wouldn’t do the trick. The Clinton campaign fostered such a strong animosity towards Obama in her core supporters that they may be a lost cause in this election. And that’s really sad. The two actually have extremely similar views on nearly all issues. But when you’ve run a campaign based on demonizing and belittling your opponent, as Clinton has, it is very difficult to expect those who supported the campaign to suddenly switch gears and support the former opponent.

I like Edwards. He has a nice, populist message that fits well with Obama’s message of change. However, he has little experience at the highest levels of government. As much as I like Obama, his biggest weakness in the general election will be on the “experience” question. Two decades of public service don’t count in many voter’s minds unless it’s at the federal level or in the state executive branch. Adding Edwards to the ticket probably helps with core Democrats (who will vote for Obama anyway) but hurts with swing voters.

The VP choice is all about strategy to win the White House in the general election. I’m not making any predictions at this point. It has to be a tough decision.

m,

I’ll check that one out. We’re not against arterials as a rule. If there is some good landscaping to cushion noise and it’s safe, then it’s all good.

We are very excited!!! It’s going to be so incredible to spend this summer exploring West Seattle!

[WSMom]

I gave New Res a heads up when we met at the Handbags for Hunger…that we would have a few days of amazing sunshine toward the end of May then we’d go back to rain rain rain through the month of June and then maybe the sun will come back out July 5.

One Labor Day weekend before my son was heading to kindergarten we were having breakfast when my son wistfully remarked “when summer gets here mom, it’s going to be so hot”. It broke my heart to have to tell him that actually, summer just happened and school was about to start. That was 1999, the summer that wasn’t. Let’s hope 2008 is bright and shiny.

Charla- Can you try to sell me on Richardson? I like the guy, but he seems like a tough choice. He was part of the Clinton cabinet, which would be a plus, but he backed Obama publicly and has become a pariah to the Clinton supporters. He seems like the anit-unity candidate right now.

I agree with you- I could accept Clinton. It’s not my first choice, but it isn’t my last choice either. I liked HRC prior to this campaign, and she still shares a number of my beliefs. I don’t think it makes political sense, but I would certainly trust Obama, Axelrod, and Ploufe if they did.

Saturday the 14th there’s another WSB happy hour being planned at Beveridge Place Pub!! There are two big rooms there so we could do one gathering in each room and those of us that play for both teams could hang out in the middle!! :)

This feels just like June to me; which is what May, April, March and some Februarys are like. SeaFair week is historically the warmest and driest week of the year. It might be safer BDG to count down for that week. Why someone hasn’t developed an advent calendar leading up to SeaFair is beyond me; not so much for SeaFair itself but just because it usually means a good week of weather in Seattle.

VP: I still like Richardson best; Chris Dodd if we can go with another senator and I can live with Jim Webb — because he can make minced meat (or turnip, for the vegans) out of McCain’s military and veterans posturing. And, yes, I can live with Clinton — though I think it would be a big mistake. Right now, I believe Clinton will campaign enthusiastically for Obama, and Bill will stay in the background. (In his office in Harlem???? That should be interesting.)

NO REPUBLICANS — no Hagel!! That’s not where we’ll get our winning edge. A Repub in the cabinet? Sure! But not in any elected position. No *reasonable* Repub should be reelected to the house, senate, governorship, or attorney general (are you listening Washington?) They are not on the side of the angels. Ultimately, they vote the party and that’s bad for Americans(sic).

What we owe Clinton is a huge debt of gratitude for running a lameass old-school campaign and, especially, for stubbornly refusing to apologize for her pro-Iraq-war votes. I firmly believe that if she had apologized (and if she had somehow managed not to out-McCain McCain on the dubious issue of Iran) she would be the nominee. And it makes me sad that the first viable woman candidate came so close and lost by her own hand, with ample assistance from her husband. (Remember, up to 3 months ago, I was firmly planted on a painful fence.)

I personally would like to see her on the Supreme Court *OR* Homeland Security Czar until we manage to disband that ridiculous boondoggle — that probably has done more to make us UNsafe at any cost than anything Bush has done.

When we win in November, the torch will truly be passed — the right wing “centrist” democrats be toothless. The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) can be the followers.

There’s a lot of time between now and November. We have to register voters *and* make sure they have the proper ID. Then we have to get them to the polls. We have to find ways to nullify Repub efforts to disenfrancise voters. We have to nullify the outrageous notion that Obama represents the overeducated, over-latted elite.

Good grief, is that who they think he was organizing for the past 20 years on the South Side of Chicago?

It is also great to hear that two of Clintons top supporters James Carville and Terry McAuliffe are ready to not only back Obama but open their wallets to him because they understand that it is time to unite.

[beachdrivegirl]

Obamas team is dismissing the idea that they are considering Clinton for the VP spot, but although i am thankful for that news. I am disappointed to hear that they probably will not talk abouta VP until July so it sounds like we will all be on pens and needles until then.

[beachdrivegirl]

Well I will be like a child waiting for Christmas marking down my calendar for July…

[hopey]

I’ll second the vote for classic kids movies, especially this summer. I’d definitely bring my 8 year old stepson. I’ll vote for Sunday afternoon “classics” too.

A note: as a person with a mild hearing disability, I left the last movie I saw at Admiral (Pirates of the Caribbean 3) mostly because the sound system was so distorted that I could not understand the dialog. It is probably tolerable for folks with normal hearing, but it may be different for those without completely normal hearing. If you are upgrading or re-equalizing the sound systems, I hope you will advertise that fact. Thanks.

[hopey]

Of course EVERYONE is welcome!

Does that include this almost-40 conservative democrat who sometimes has trouble socializing in groups? (I’m much better one-on-one.) charlabob, I’ll bring my service-dog-in-training labradoodle… :D

[jkboison]

Patty, thanks so much for following up on this. I will call you when we are ready! Right now I just need a bid so I can work on the budget. We have a 10,000 sqft lot that needs to be fully (re)fenced!

[jkboison]

I guess the beauty of this forum is that it can take you anywhere! We started with a question about construction on Delridge and ended (or is this the end??) with a dozen replies about what kind of coffee ya’ll drink!

LOL thanks for making it interesting……

ps. I am a double tall soy latte.

Nothing changes, does it?

You are on the brink of victory.. and the conversation still centers on how poorly Hillary ran her campaign and how dishonest/amoral she is.

And now you have picked up a new thread.. how Hillary reflects poorly on all women.

This isn’t even worthy of comment.

But there is something that is.

Have you thought at all how all of this is going to effect the millions of people who supported Hillary.. who still support Hillary… and whose vote for her had nothing to do with her sex or his race?

Now that might be worth thinking about…

of course, you could just condemn them along with all those ignorant people who don’t know what’s good for them and those racists who only voted because of race.. and those misguided old women…

(all your comments… on this thread…)

That’s an election strategy i haven’t seen used before.. and one i am not going to participate in.. but who knows.. you seem to think it will work.

[westseattlefence]

Thank you for all the great recommendations for James at West Seattle Fence. We are overwhelmed with calls for fences and we are very sorry for not getting back to people right away. At this time we are having a family issue that needs to be addressed. We are still taking calls for James to come take a look at what you need done. It just might take a bit longer… In July, we will be running at 100% again. You can call James directly at 206-715-3670.

Thank you and I do apologize for the non-returned phone calls. James is trying his best to return calls.

Thanks to all of you who replied (even the grumpy ones – you know who you are). : )

BTW – My partner was diagnsed with Type 2 diabetes and we made the vegan diet shift as a way of dealing with that and it has worked wonderfully (with no need for medication). So. . . there is more to this. It is a healthy diet and I feel better than I have in a long time – we have each lost a lot of weight too. We are lucky to live here with so many great choices of what and where to eat. Thanks for all of the info. I learned of some places I did not know about.

Gam that is amazing news!

And also debunks everyone saying ESL students have special needs, as well as my assumption that they have a slower learning capacity in English speaking schools due to their proposed un-familiarity with the English language. :]

And The House all I have to say is <3

Glad to see the younger kids are doing better than us teens/young adults ever did. Especially in Mathematics.

Ah, there is hope yet!
