Great rant! I didn’t know that the “keep right except to pass” applied on our local arterials such as Admiral. I’m guilty of staying left, since heading eastbound on Admiral the right lane becomes a right-turn-only lane, and heading westbound up the hill the right lane merges to the left after California. Same on California heading both north and south, the right lane disappears.
I can’t fault people for keeping left on many streets in Seattle. However, the freeway driving thing is a bit silly here. In all my cross-country driving trips, the majority of drivers have known to keep right except to pass, until I encountered Washington drivers for the first time three years ago.

Thanks Joanne – I sent you an email.

I did buy some purple organic fingerling potatoes from PCC. I read about a process to make your own seedlings in a book: set in a pan somewhere, let the them sprout a bit ( may take a month), then cut out the eye/sprout, and plant. I am not sure how this will go, and will take a while to yield anything! I might give it a go with a few of them, as an experiment.

West Seattle Nursery did not have any seedlings, but were great about telling me I could make my own, and they said I can plant potato seedlings anytime of year.

[JoB]

i should clarify.. what i will have is potato starts… more than enough to share.. and not all purple… i will check later to see what i planted.

“Free College ? Really ? If i walked up to any Liberal downtown…”

Yes, downtown, where only the liberals go. Oh, I forgot to capitalize the L in Liberal like all the RWNJ emails do. Are people really so dense that they think “free” public education is actually free? Ever hear about “taxes”? We pay taxes and then that money is “redistributed” (as the Liberals would say) for functions that our representatives in Gov’t decide are priorities. Some people think education is a really smart way to use our tax money to improve society for all of us, even the non-liberals. Hence, extending tax funded “free” public education thru college. Sheesh!

Mostly, I just feel sorry for her kids.

if we stopped giving immensely profitable corporations all our free stuff there would be plenty left to fund things like education…

Hi:

I never got an email from you. That is my VIN #, I went onto the listing and don’t see any problem with it. If you’d like to see it, email me at; dinahmite9@yahoo.com

[Franci]

I did file a complaint with the FCC. I guess I didn’t give them my phone # as I did receive a letter in the mail from CL stating that the could not do any research without it.

I do find that a little hard to believe. The account that I had with them for the last 20 years, 14 of which were at my current address, were billed to my name and address that is on the letter itself. Seems like a simple search in their database would give her the phone # I had for this address.

I emailed her today with the phone # that I had with them. I’ll update this thread with any response I receive.

We need to get a new insurance company for term life insurance. Any recommendations for an agent/company in the area? Our last company was sold out to a couple other places over the years and they no longer offer term life.

Franci’s recommendation.

I don’t see free college as being any different than a public K-12 education. If Betty had completed either one, she might be able to present a more rational argument, free of spelling, grammatical, and judgment errors. The United States is no longer the world’s greatest nation, and our declining status has a lot to do with lack of education – not too much of it. More civilized countries, like Sweden and Norway, offer free college. They also are highest on the happiness index. Can’t say that for most Americans these days. The fact is that the safety net and benefits of all kinds have shriveled to nothing, except for the very rich.

Smitty, I do agree that there is a struggle, but I just didn’t really imagine that after having 10 years of experience in my specialty career that I would still be walking a fine line. My car is very used and gas efficient, I don’t take expensive vacations and I bought far below the market price for West Seattle homes selling today. I am aware that I am doing better than most which makes me want a better system for everyone. We all know that trickle-down doesn’t work. The evidence is there that building your economy from the ground-up strengthens the community and fuels a successful economy.

Hi there,

If you’re still in need of a sitter, I am available. I have kidsitting experience and a background in teaching children from the ages of 3 to 18 STEM education in informal ways. I’m a current university student back home in West Seattle for the summer. If you’d like to talk more, you can reach me at: delanceylane@gmail.com

Best,

DeLancey Lane

[Smitty]

LT, you have a mortgage – and a two income household – which is more than most can say in this city. From the sound of it you are relatively young (30?).

We can’t have everything we want right away. Maybe you bought too much home? Maybe you lease new cars every 2 years? Maybe you take expensive vacations? Maybe none of those are the case.

My wife and I struggled until about our early 40’s when after work promotions and cost cutting we finally stopped living check to check. Now we are catching up on retirement savings. It CAN be done, albeit not easily and without sacrifice. Not everyone can be a CEO, and regardless, reducing CEO salaries by 90% won’t make a bit of difference anyway as it’s not a zero sum game.

Just remember that a lot of those high-end German cars are leased by people living in rented housing. You are probably doing way better than you think.

Jan, yes, I do worry a lot about medical catastrophes and any major issue that may go wrong with my home. I’m not sure I could fully recover and would lose the cash value I have paid into the home if I had to sell quickly.

Betty, I’ve worked very hard, harder than a lot of people to get to where I am today. When I was 18 and I held my mom’s hand as she died from cancer, I didn’t give up on my school or my bills or my health. I kept going because I had a vision of having my own family that I could support financially and emotionally. I am not sure what world you are living in, but you would think in a Capitalist Society, where you have paid your dues and worked tirelessly to put yourself through Bachelor’s school and Master’s School and have been a Structural Engineer for 10 years that you would feel safe from the stigma of losing everything. I’m treading water and if I lost my job due to sickness or an accident or the economy, everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve could be gone in an instant. Are you telling me that the American dream is to work hard to achieve all your dreams but ONLY if your life is free of emergencies or some tragic catastrophe? That’s not the American dream I believe in. I do hope that you do more research, talk to your friends and family and discuss their life hardships to begin to get a picture of the daily struggles people are dealing with. I consider myself in the upper echelon of income even though I am barely holding myself above water.

I also think it would be a valuable experience for you and your kids to go live abroad in a Socialist-Democratic Scandinavian country for a few months and come back to let us know how evil it is.

The signs could also be improved where they exist. say “Keep Right Except to Pass” is a little vague. I’d vote for something like “The Left Lane is the Passing Lane. Pass and Get Over.”

If I weren’t so lazy I’d write my representatives, instead of just complaining on a website.

[JanS]

Betty 453…I find your post offensive and insulting, but you are entitled to that, as I agree with the first Amendment. If someone doesn’t believe what you believe, they’re all stupid? Seriously?

This is sad to watch this Liberal infection permeate this latest generation.
Teaching the Classic left wing idea that every Tyrant in History has used to secure power which is that they aren’t prospering because of the ” Rich guy on the Hill ” that has stolen it and that if you give them ( Chavez, Hitler , Stalin etc..) Complete control that they will ” Make it Right “. I would ask if you feel like suckers for believing a former Pornography author that has never had a real job ( Bernie ) but you really are that sad.
Free College ? Really ? If i walked up to any Liberal downtown and was handing out something of significant worth for ” Free ” you would all look over your shoulder and Hopefully ask me if it was Stolen. Yet Someone promising Free College makes sense. See that is what the Liberal sickness does. It makes you deny reality and rationalize things that you normally wouldn’t even consider.
See in the Real world of Economics when something is ” Free ” Demand Skyrockets and Supply plummets. So, What do we do when 30 million more people decide that they want to attend college since it is ” Free ” ? In a Socialist/ Communist system they solve that problem by allowing the Loyal Party members to be first in line and then let the system of payoff’s and corruption handle the rest.
In England they solved this problem by having Children take a test and those that do well get the opportunity to better there lives by attending college and those that don’t do well… Well… Sorry , Here’s a shovel.
Let’s see how that fly’s in Liberal-ville when the test scores reveal that a majority of those given the opportunity of free college are of the Evil white persuasion ? That will certainly Fly won’t it ?
Please help your children out by making them work for there allowance rather than convincing them they deserve it because someone else worked hard and Stole it from them.
This is Sad to watch.

I am a full-time working mother with a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering. I live in Seattle, in a two income household and I surprisingly live paycheck to paycheck. The level of wealth inequality in our country is disastrous. The cost of childcare, for one child, is more than half of my mortgage. I did not get any paychecks when I “decided” to take 12 weeks of maternity leave to nurture and nurse my infant daughter. I don’t have any extra money to save for my daughter’s future college expenses. We are told that if we work hard our entire lives that we can live the American dream, we can buy a house, we can save for our future, we can have ample time to spend with our families. What a lie. I don’t want my daughter to be in debt before she graduates college and before she has a chance to start a successful career. People are overworked and underpaid. There are many more millions of people who are not even as lucky as I am to have a family, a house, a job and education that was not free.

PP, I still need to make contact, but past experience has left me so traumatized that I’d almost rather have my fingernails pulled out than have to contact CL – especially after the response by FieldSup, which clearly indicates that he/she either did not read the comments, did not understand them, or – more likely, doesn’t give a flying turd and was posting as a diversion. But thanks for the prod, it has to happen sometime…
