I understand that you can take knives to be sharpened to the meat dept. at Westwood QFC…you might want to go and see if they’ll do your scissors for you…not sure of the cost, but it shouldn’t be a whole lot

I wouldn’t recommend Amante. We’ve tried them a few times and were pretty underwhelmed.

Luciano’s also has more than Pizza -Gyros, sandwiches, pasta, etc. They are much better than Amante, IMO.

Also, if you like Indian try Maharaja. It’s surprisingly good.

I’ve yet to find acceptable Thai delivery in West Seattle. For now, I’ll continue to get take out from Buddha Ruksa. The garlic chicken is to die for!

There’s a place that has been there about 6 months called the Golden Thread and it is across from Corry’s drycleaner on California. In a small building on the left if you are going West down California toward Admiral. She did a great job, very professional and rates were fairly reasonable. She is my new tailor and I used to drive to the U Village!

Hello,

As the New Year comes upon us so do the resolutions. I would like to kick start my fitness routine. I would love to find a gym or personal trainer that is in West Seattle. I belonged to All Star a few years back. I would like to get your take on the different gyms or your personal trainers. Also if you could include the cost that would be great too.

Thanks so much and Happy New Year

I would like to throw in my two cents and say that Diva Espresso makes a decent cup of coffee. C&P have GREAT baristas and the atmosphere is nice. Java Bean in my books is a NO GO!! I would rather wait in a line of 10 cars up at the 35th SBUX.

Sue…I’ve actually considered printing notes that I can leave on someone’s windshield. The other’s that I so love are the ones who park in the grid next to the handicapped space, like it’s there for them to park on. I need space to open my door all the way, and that sure doesn’t help.

[Sue]

One of my issues with crowded parking lots is when people take handicapped spots when they don’t have a handicapped placard or plate. We went to the farmers market yesterday and saw there was one last handicapped spot, but the woman in front of us pulled in. As we began to pass her, she got out of the car we noticed she did not put up a placard, so we beeped at her and held up ours. She was visibly very annoyed that we called her on it, but to her credit she did pull out of the spot. I can’t stand when people think the rules don’t apply to them because they’ll be there “just a second” or whatever their excuse is.

Cruiser – I concur with this list. Southcenter is the 9th ring of hell. I try to avoid it altogether, but yesterday we had to go there. I experience all 10 on your list, and then this one – people who walk around the mall with zero clue of the space around them!! Like the crazy lady yesterday who was tearing thru Macy’s w/ her stroller, coming right at me. Uh hello, do you even see that I exist, or is your stroller more important than me. Hey, no problem, go ahead and run over my foot…I wouldn’t want to get in your way! Arrrgghhh… Whew, got that out of my system

So the other night I was feeling incredibly lazy and we didn’t have any food in the house. I wasn’t in the mood for pizza, but couldn’t think of anyone else who delivers out here. Any suggestions for future reference? Links to online menus would be most helpful too… thanks!

I highly reccomend JD Johnson Construction located on California across the street from “O’Neil the Plumber”. Great people to work with and do excellent work!

As someone who works at the corp. office of said coffee co, I can tell you for a FACT it’s not a marketing ploy. It happened once a couple of years ago as a fluke thing, and the story filtered up to the powers-that-be, who decided it was a good story to put on the cups for the Holidays, to inspire people to “Pass the Cheer.” Apparently its working, as we’re hearing about it from multiple stores, multiple times a day. Buying the coffee of the person behind you in line is just a nice gesture, and a way to really make someone’s day for a couple of bucks.

On a similar note, there was a man named Jerry who used to stand at the corner of 1st and Spokane every morning. I often got caught at the light, and would chat with him and give him some breakfast or a buck or two if I had it. One day I gave him a $5 coffee card I’d been given as a gift, and he got tears in his eyes. He said “every day for me is about surviving. I get a little money, I get a meal, occasionally someone gets me some new shoes. But coffee. Good coffee is a luxury, and I haven’t had it in a very long time.”

We also have a tradition in my family of buying the salvation army bellringers a hot chocolate if it’s chilly out. Just bring them one, and see the reaction.

I am wondering if there are any groups for the Older Lesbians that meet in West Seattle? Thanks, Happy Holidays. Pamela

[dunderp]

Just moved to Alaska Junction. I would like opinions on a contractor or plumber to switch out a bathtub. I also would like to know if there is a group for older Lesbians that meet in West Seattle. Thanks and Happy Holidays, Pamela

OK, so it took awhile to go through the register/password/DNA test to get logged into the forum, but it sure is great to be here.

Cruiser, I feel your pain, especially #3. I call it “giving me the hey”. If I let you in, especially in thick traffic and you’re yakking on your cell phone, all I ask is that you give me the hey. A tiny little wave in the rear view mirror, it’s not much. Just an acknowledgment that somebody saw you, realized you needed a break, and gave it to you, whether you deserved it or not. If you give me the hey, all is well in the world, the cosmic karma remains in balance. And we all need that this time of year, right? So a big “hey” to all you out in WSB land.

Just did a full Junction walk along California (not to the approval of my dog :) to check restaurant signs and basically everything is either closed or an unknown (meaning they didn’t have anything posted). I haven’t called any of the unknowns, but I’m assuming if they don’t say, they’re closed. Here’s the full list in case anyone has info on the ones w/o posted signs.<br>

• Ama Ama: Unknown
• Tom Young Kum: Closed
• Yummy Teriyaki: Closed
• Elliott Bay Brew Pub: Closed
• Talarico’s: Unknown
• Rocksport: Unknown (Forgot to check)
• Cupcake Royale: Unknown
• Jak’s: Closed
• Matador: Unknown
• Maharaja: Unknown
• Garlic Jim’s: Unknown
• Kamei: Unknown
• Lee’s Asian: Unknown
• Shadowland: Unknown
• Shoefly: Closed
• Pagliacci: Unknown (I turned south after Shoefly and forgot to check)
• Bee’s: Unknown
• Caper’s: Unknown
• Azuma: Unknown
• West 5: Closed (although open on C-Mas Eve)
• Easy Street: Closed
• Great Harvest: Closed
• Poggie’s: OPEN at 5:00 PM, but I don’t think they serve food
• Taqueria Guaymas: Unknown
• Husky Deli: Unknown (although presumed closed b/c they are for other holidays such as Easter)
• Mashiko’s: Unknown
• Puerto Vallarta: Unknown
• Bakery Nouveau: Closed

Sure, it would have been easier to just say “They’re all closed except for Poggie’s,” but you don’t realize how many restaurants we have on one street in a 2-block area until you look at each of them and try to commit them to memory. Looks like we may start a new Christmas tradition this year: Dim Sum in the ID followed by drinks at Poggie’s. :)

at Hotwire the other morning a customer gave the barista $20 and told her to treat the Postal Workers next door to coffee if/when they came in..Said they looked a little frazzled :)

CMP, I’ve eaten at Ho-Win twice. It’s functional. Not the best, not the worst. I wouldn’t say to run there, but you could do worse.

I think my issue with chinese restaurants though is that chinese food in NYC/NJ is *very* different than chinese food here. I think I’m searching for something that doesn’t exist here, like good pastrami. So I tolerate it here and then when I’m back there I eat myself sick on it. :)

I had Southwest come out and quote for some repipe….$1600 for ten sweat joints on copper pipes. That’s $160 a joint!. I hired a retired plumber for the day who taught me how to solder and I did it myself:)

[acemotel]

cruiser, #6 is the winner. heaven forbid you should ever actually tell the clerk what you couldn’t find! “I’m sorry you couldn’t find the low sodium capers, but can’t you see I’m really busy, and there are fourteen people in line behind you, and my performance is based on productivity, so please move through the line in 20 seconds, goodbye Mr. (looks at receipt) A, haveaniceday.”

My #1 pet peeve = drivers who amble along at 40, 45 mph in the left lane of a highway (I usually notice on I-90 over the pass) dum-de-dum without a care in the world. These people, have they never heard of the PASSING LANE?

joetheplumberseattle website or # is 206-285-2434. Had Beacon charge me $300 for a half hour job plus the cost of tool rental. Also billed me for the blade they used “in case” it breaks. It didn’t. I wanted to keep the blade on principle since I payed for it. Couldn’t, of course. Called Joe the next time and he talked me through the problem on the phone. Fixed it myself. Can’t tell you how much I appreciated his honesty that I didn’t really need him. Would not hesitate to call him for a real job.

Just back from hell on earth..Southcenter I need to do this, bear with me my top ten peeves

1)Drivers not using turn signals

2)Drivers using turn signal like a magic wand

3)If I let you out into traffic, acknowledge the fact,take your big mac/starbucks/phone/kid or whatever the hell outta your mouth and wave thanks.

4)For the love of your God or any God please learn to parallel park, if you can’t, get the bus.

5) At the store don’t wish me a nice day or say have a good one, we all know you don’t mean it so don’t say it,ok?

6)If I’m at the checkstand why ask me if I’ve found everything I was looking for??? If I hadn’t I wouldn’t be checking out fool.

7)It’s Christmas,ok. Christmas. Nothing else ok?? Christmas. Not Holidays,or happy season or whatever the hell it’s Christmas ok?? Get a ladder and get over it.

8)If I’m walking towards you on the sidewalk,don’t look at your shoes,open your gob and say hi.

9) No I don’t want another damn cell phone,christmas tree,red candle,frozen turkey,fruit cake,gallon of egg nog,christmas card, candy cane or Christmas pressie especially if you want me to buy you one back.

10) Oh yeah number 10, I really, really hate people who make top ten lists:)

Ahh, now that feels good

Happy Christmas to you and yours:)

Oh interesting. I have read the book sharing the same title and that sounds like it would have been interesting. Thanks for the post.

And BL, if you check back, you should be able to edit your profile. I just tested it with this profile (which is NOT the admin profile) and it worked … even changed my password. Thanks for pointing it out.
