Topic: Funky Jane’s New Drop Off Policy is GREAT!
in forum Open DiscussionfuzzycaterpillarMemberHave you been to Funky Jane’s lately? Angela is doing reserved drop off appointments now! You can reserve a drop off appointment the same day (call at 10:30 to reserve a spot), instead of waiting for an appointment. So far I have seen the quality of clothes BOOM!

KenParticipanthttp://www.northwestradio.net/interceptnw/
Seattle uses trunked. digital and in many cases switches to cell for supervisor calls and “sensitive” traffic.
I don’t have a scanner at the moment but trunked scanners can get pretty expensive last time I checked. Some interface with a pc to match up both sides of a conversation.

January 17, 2008 at 7:46 am #586260Topic: Hmmm..Barter for minor lamp repair?
in forum WSB Reader RecommendationsJanSParticipantHi, all. I have 2 lamps that I need some minor repairs to before I offer them on freecycleseattle One need a new switch, one has a loose wire in the bulb socket. I don’t want to sink money into them as I’m giving them away, but I’m willing to repay in massage (13 years experience). Know anyone who might be open to this? My name links to my website, where you can e-mail me. Thanks.

swParticipantI have two kids at Gatewood and couldn’t be happier. Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. It is nice that there are a variety of schools to choose from – each one will have a bit of different appeal to parents and kids alike. Definitely go to the kindergarten fair so you can check out all of the schools, and you’ll eventually find yourself gravitating toward one or two. I’d also recommend going to an event at each school so you can get a true sense of the community there. Feel free to ping me back if you want your head filled with any Gatewood propaganda.

swParticipantDitto on O’Neill. Also, call Paul at Stalwart Plumbing. There is another thread in the forums about plumbing – check there for a lot more info.
swParticipantWhile I’m at it, I also want to give a shout out to O’Neill Plumbing. I had them replace my main water line while my yard was dug up for a landscaping project. Cevin Farnsworth gave me a good price and excellent service, and their installation crew was friendly and did a great job. Local business to boot. Recommended.
swParticipantAt the risk of piling on…
I called Paul at Stalwart last week thinking I needed to have my water heater replaced. He came out to take a look and immediately figured out that the problem lied elsewhere and said a new tank was not necessary. Had I called anyplace else they would have sent a crew and swapped out the tank without checking to see if it was truly necessary. Talk about professionalism and integrity – if I ever have another plumbing need there is no question who I will call.

January 16, 2008 at 9:54 pm #586259dustinParticipantThis will be my wife and I’s first Valentines Day as a married couple and I’d love to know what types of things are available in the West Seattle area. While were dating and engaged we were either in school or making no money so it was a lot of homemade picnics and scenic drives. Not that those aren’t great, but now that we’re both making real money it’d be nice to do something a little nicer.
Are there any dinner spots that have special Valentines Day menus or maybe spice up the atmosphere? Bay cruises maybe? Just curious since I know there must be a wealth of knowledge out there. Any and all tips/stories are welcome.

SliderParticipantYour school is lucky to have you! The book cases should be easy and free! The district has a surplus website that the school staff has access to. They can either shop off the website for book cases, or call surplus directly (you must be a district employee to do both). Shopping off the website may take a long time, our PTA ordered book shelves in October and they weren’t delivered until April. I’m told calling directly with your pleas for supplies gets faster action. Good Luck, there should be tons of surplus with all the schools that have been closed.

I would be interested in meeting you and seeing if we could work something out for part time help with housecleaning.
January 16, 2008 at 8:29 pm #613929In reply to: Elementary school recommendations??
AnonymousInactiveI would suggest going to the School fair at SSC, as well as making a persoal visit to the schools you are interested in and maybe take your children there. When it was time to enroll our daughter in kindergarten I just called the school spoke with the principals and made some visits with my daughter with me. Sine she was the one that would be attending one of these schools it was important that she feel comfortable and familiar with the school. We were able to observe afew different classrooms at different school, meet the principal, office staff and the teachers. It made going to school on that first day less nerve racking for our child.
Right now I believe we still have reference schools, meaning you have priority to our neighborhood, but going out of your reference area you might not always find room for your children. Our daughters class at Roxhill has just 18 students and I hear from a friend who’s child attend LaFayette there are 30 kids in her sons class!!

JanSParticipantlattemom…you might want to join Freecycleseattle
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreecycleSeattle/
I’d also suggest making a separate ID just for this as the e-mails can be a bit daunting, and if that’s the only thing you’re getting there, it makes it easier to go through. You can offer stuff, you can read what others are offering, you can post wanted items. It’s a wonderful resource for people to pass on things that are usable but no longer of use to themselves. I’ve received quite a few high quality items through it. It’s totally free…you have to go pick things up, but…hey, it’s free :)
if you want more information, e-mail me…my e-mail address is on my website on my profile here…
January 16, 2008 at 6:12 pm #586258Topic: morning meditation group
in forum Open DiscussionjeepersMemberAnyone know of or is interested in developing a morning meditation group somewhere in West Seattle, preferably close to Alki? I’m thinking every weekday morning for an hour or any part of that starting at around 6 or 6:30 but later could be fine, too.
January 16, 2008 at 5:39 pm #613928In reply to: Elementary school recommendations??
karenParticipantMy son is at Gatewood and I am VERY happy there. We have some a little bouncing around because there are some special needs that need to be met. I feel very welcome there, parents are welcome to come in and work in the class. The staff respects my child as a person and works with him to help him achieve his potential. One of the best things is that there is a respect for the child. Children are invited to attend the conferences (if the parent wishes) to talk about their strengths and goals. There is no feeling of negativity, only a willingness to help the child succeed.
Good Luck.

SueParticipantIf you go to the Mosaic website – http://www.mosaichomes.com/seattle – you’ll see that they now have a “Now Leasing” tab with 2 properties, and the “Coming Soon” tab is empty. They don’t even list the West Ridge Park (Gables) property anymore because that conversion did not finish – only part of the complex was updated.
WesMemberI sense your passion Ken, but but please be polite, the personal jabs without really knowing where I stand is a little uneccessary don’t ya think? And you don’t expect me to say, “Yeah, this guy is right!” without checking out for myself do you? I wouldn’t expect that from you. I thank you for the info for us to look at, and I am glad that you have done a lot of research and have friends in lofty places so that you can be so sure that I am an idiot and that you are greater than I, but help me here, not poke at me. Obviously I am no expert in this area, nor come anywhere near having a card catalog and seperate rooms of information at my immediate disposal, so I don’t get the hostility. Be a teacher man. Note the only side I have taken here is the cautious, not sure, should find out for myself one.
To answer your question, this is what I am babbling about.

BonnieParticipantSSCC is having a kindergarten fair to check out the schools. Of course the kindy teachers will be there but so will the principal of each school. You can go check it out.
From their website
Free Kindergarten Fair – January 30, 2008 – 6 – 9pm
Jerry Brockey Center, SSCC Campus, 6000 – 16th Ave SW, Seattle WA, 98106
While this year will mark our 10th annual Kindergarten Fair, this will be the first time that it will be held on a Wednesday evening. Parents of children who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall will have the opportunity to meet with teachers, principals and parents from public and private schools available to West Seattle families. Representatives from Seattle Public Schools Enrollment Services will be available to answer questions and to accept enrollment forms. The public is welcome.

WSBKeymasterSteve – more and more, each school has a special area of emphasis or a special feature, even at the elementary level. So you’ll want to ask about that, depending on what your little ones’ interests are evolving toward. We were just up covering a story at Pigeon Point Park next to Cooper Elementary, for example, last week, and were learning about the environmental/art special offerings there. Our son attended Lafayette for three years and we were greatly impressed with the principal, teachers, staffers, and parent commitment. In our role as WSB editor, we have met and corresponded with people from many schools around West Seattle, all of whom have a passion for and devotion to their schools. I hope more of them will find this thread in the coming days and tell you about the schools they know best!
KenParticipantWhat are you babbling about?
Are you arguing that
“all Americans during the Revolutionary War were (the) virtuous, Christian citizens”?
Come up with some facts of your own if so. I have an entire card catalog of history texts as well as dedicated rooms of revolutionary period pamphlets and broadsheets in the Widner Library at Harvard, or the Dunster House Library at Harvard that indicate otherwise. I cannot afford to have the whole library copied, but if you were to even bother with a credible defense of your view, (and I could figure out what exactly that view is) I could have a friend in Cambridge go in and scan a randomly chosen month of publication which would disprove the theory of all innocent pious citizens.
Are you disputing that William Federer, Tim LeHaye or David Barton are not proven liars and quote manglers by the documents they themselves often cite? Do you need a breakdown of each and every occasion? I could probably do that with google and nothing but links in a couple of hours, but why should I? You’re obviously not interested in the empirical truth when it conflicts with you “faith based logic”. Besides I figure if you were really interested in the real history and how it compares with the revisionism of the above named stooges, you would have ordered the book by now.
Or is this just another example of faiths triumphant victory over facts by virtue of the readers simply disbelieving the facts?
Ah well.
No doubt Age of Reason has been hard on many Christians and Huckabee is promising to do away with it just as soon as we elect him President.
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that’s what we need to do, to amend the Constitution so it’s in God standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family. “
— Mike Huckabee, Jan 14th 2008
WesMemberStill, in context, it doesn’t seem to make it any more true, though I am not saying that whatever person in Christiandom is writing is true either, when it comes to this. But lots of people can spin truth in the way they want it to be rather than what the author intended it to mean.
