back2wsParticipantIt’s not on FB, but try https://seattle.ubrlocal.com/. It’s Seattle-wide, but you can see where each person is located. I’ve made some great produce/egg trades through there.
September 26, 2014 at 1:11 am #612793Topic: We are doomed
in forum PoliticsJanSParticipantAs long as there are people in the US like this, we are doomed. Some wonder who votes for the really loonie politicians on either side of the aisle…here’s your answer..(one or two swear words):
September 23, 2014 at 10:39 pm #814012skeeterParticipantMy previous car was a 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata. I assure you the top was down every day the temperature was between 50 and 90. I sold the car just before my daughter was born. I love being a dad but sure do miss owning a sports car.
September 23, 2014 at 10:21 pm #814010skeeterParticipantNoob, you are correct of course. If one never leaves Seattle a Toyota Yaris is every bit as fun and capable as an Aston Martin. I just drove the priest grade road outside of Yosemite twice last week and was reminded of how insanely fun it is to drive a curvy mountain road in excellent condition with no traffic. What a hoot.

(The video is not me – I wasn’t even on a bike. But still super fun in a decent handling car.)
Thank you for driving safely in West Seattle. I enjoy a spirited drive, but West Seattle is way too dense and populated.
The cars I am currently sort of interested in are the Mercedes Benz C300 (redesigned for 2015 looks awesome) and the Chevrolet Sonic RS and the VW GTI. I know they are pretty different cars but those are the ones that I’ve taken a liking to. The MB is pretty expensive (for me) so I’d only consider it if there was some amazing lease promotion.

JanSParticipantwell, as an alternative right now, you could always shop on Instacart online http://www.instacart.com It’s free to sign up, you get a credit, I think when you sign up, delivery (same day) is $3.99, I believe, for over $35 purchase (1st delivery free). It’s like having a personal shopper – lol.

You can shop at Uwajimaya, QFC, Whole Foods and Costco (no membership needed)

in forum Open DiscussionellenaterMemberHi all.
Have been thinking of starting up a FB group for garden veggies, eggs, compost, etc. exchange here in West Seattle. The group would have a buy, sell, trade, gift option. Very basic. I am just wondering if there is interest. Here is a survey if you would like to participate:

Cheers!

I got kicked out of the BNP just for voicing that we should start a separate group.

September 14, 2014 at 3:53 pm #813506In reply to: Planning Free Mental Health First Aid Class
KenParticipantWhat I find truly creepy is the avaricious nature of the publisher of the training materials.
39.00 to 352.00 per copy? I am tempted to spend the time to create a pdf of the 126 pages of this “flyer” and post it for free. Eliminating the “stock photo” imagery should bring the size down to miniscule. In this country the barriers to health care are always monetary.
The founding institutions in the US version of MHFA -US seem to be publicly financed and tax supported (though I could be wrong about that)
But copyright violation may not be necessary.
The program originated in Australia and those materials are already available for free.

https://mhfa.com.au/sites/mhfa.com.au/files/2nd-Edn-ID-MHFA-Manual-Sept-2012-small.pdf
This is not to take away anything from the OP’s generous offer of time and knowledge and I will pay for one of the official booklets for someone who cannot afford the cost.
In another time and place I would have probably been diagnosed as Autism Spectrum as a child and perhaps that is why I am much more effective working with computers rather than people. I learn from books while I cannot concentrate in a traditional school/class setting
More useful info on this subject can be found via google.

https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/clock-repair-in-west-seattle
The OP doesn’t specifically say they went with NW Art and Frame in their update post, just that they replaced it themselves, rather than to take it somewhere for the repair.
I still stand by my suggestion, though. And so does Jan. ;-)

StringCheeseParticipantAnother piece worth a look if you have 10 minutes or so. You can even skip ahead to 1:28 to get to the good stuff. No colorful language. Just a guy with a marker, a white board, and a very good point…
Hooray for logic!
September 12, 2014 at 5:59 pm #813270In reply to: The Science Was Settled but … maybe not so much…
StringCheeseParticipantI think this piece covers the “debate” pretty well…
Skip to 3:10 if you want to get straight to the arguments for/against but I heartily suggest watching the whole 4:26 segment. Warning – some people may find some of language used offensive.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
