Just like the 2000 and 2004 elections were shrouded in controversy; lost ballots, people denied votes in Florida, intentionally rigged voting machines owned by private corporations that gave money to the Republican party etc….

What makes you think it won’t happen again? Nothing has been done and it’s already happening in the primaries (the New Hampshire primary).

If you think everything has been hunky dory in the past few elections you just aren’t paying attention.

What do you think??

Thanks Jan. I know my partner isn’t the least bit afraid to dial 911 if need be. I was already warned earlier this evening that there’d be an ambulance on the way if I got any worse.

I’m in bed at this point, just kinda chillin. Things seem to be settling down. We went out for a bit on a roundabout of all the drug stores in the area, looking for a peak flow meter to see if I could keep an eye on it myself.

However, apparently no drugstore in this area stays open past 6pm (pharmacy part anyway) and the flow meters are kept behind the counter. Makes me wonder if they’re a high-theft item or what. and why on earth they would be…

We still need to get a WS Gimpy Coffee Klatch going. I’m thinking maybe in a couple of weeks when things settle down a bit would be good for me.

Thank you.

I am feeling a bit better so haven’t gone in, but it’s good to know where to go just in case.

I can’t believe I’ve lived in WS 4+ years and didn’t know where to find the nearest E.R.

Hope this helps other folks.

Some good shrooms in the park?

[WSB]

I think that’s the closest – from the other end of WS it might be Harborview on First Hill, but I just compared via Mapquest directions, and from Westwood Village, Highline is 5 miles, while Harborview is 8 miles. Hope you are OK now.

Hi Todd – I truly believe that I have the best dentist in the world. Dr. Kari Chellis, (www.smilesecrets.com). She is located at 4700 42nd Ave. SW, Suite 555 (above the Bartell’s store). She has become the standard by which I judge all of my other health care professionals (e.g. expertise, passion, thoughtfulness, innovation, etc.). I can actually say that I enjoy going to the dentist!

Warning: I understand he’s very fond of chicken poodle soup and Thai poodles.

Ok folks, I am probably heading to Highline on Military Road, as that’s what google is netting me, but for future reference, what is the nearest emergency room to WS? Specifically I am in “South Delridge” near Westwood Village, and seem to be having an asthma attack. Diagnosed yesterday, and suddenly having trouble breathing properly.

As I said I will likely head out to Highline momentarily, but is anything closer?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the PEPS page gave me a couple preschool names I hadn’t found otherwise – those are the hardest ones to come up with; I thought briefly of not including preschools but realized that would be silly, sometimes that’s the toughest decision – where should your kid START school!? Ours went to Lincoln Park Co-op for the very first experience of not dealing with parental types – the co-op concept of “one day you (parent) stay and help, the other day he’s here with the teacher and other parents” was also helpful for our transition as well as his!

I’m copying this from the post I made in the “list of schools & links” topic:

Another resource for pre-school info can be found on the West Seattle PEPS website – it’s about 2 years old but still good at-a-glance info:

My daughter goes to Little Pilgrims and we love it. They are at Fauntleroy Church. It’s time to check preschools out now. Don’t wait for spring because registration starts in Feb/March.

[Bonnie]

I like Amante’s. We ordered from them last night. Lee’s used to deliver. I wish they still did.

Nicely done! It would have been a very helpful starting place to me when I was investigating both public and private schools for my children (back in arpanet days, though).

[MissK]

You could always drive underneath the bridge? I think along Spokane? Or you could get on 99 and get off on the Seneca exit? Depends what time you leave your house. If its between 8am-9am you pretty much have to suffer the commute. The cops are really rude and yes the woman motorcycle cop is a royal pain. She has riden along side my car and motioned for me to slow down. WHAT!! I was going the speed limit. I think she just is taking he power she has too far. By any means STAY OUT OF THE BUSLANES!! Unless you want to put up with the coppers.

Good Luck on the commute.

Thanks for the great list of West Seattle Schools. Seattle Times has a good school guide for a citywide perspective that might be useful for those contemplating a private school outside of WS:

I have to get to work near Pioneer Square everday. Taking the WS Bridge to 1st is the quickest option, but it’s a mess 3 out of 5 days a week. There’s NEVER enough time to get over and get off the bridge. Most of the time it forces traffic into the bus lane. Out of necessity, not of want to break the law. Yesterday, madame motorcycle policewoman pulled several of us over, calling us “children who can’t act like adults and follow rules or she would give us 110 reasons to follow them”. Her immediate request was for us all to get out of the bus lane. Had we done that, accidents would have occurred and chaos. Please someone, what is the trick to negotiating our beloved bridge??? HELP???

[WSB]

finally done!

find it from the “schools” tab atop any page

will add some more resources over the weekend but for now we think it’s a fairly comprehensive list of schools with their weblinks and also maps showing where they are. thanks again for the idea.

In case anyone is interested, we had a Reader Recommendation Request thread on preschools back in August:

I was coming up the trail that starts by Coleman Pool and I saw what at first look like a big guy in a fur coat eating something.

As I got closer I noticed he had furry pants on too, except the fur looked real, then I saw it was munching on a poodle! I screamed and it looked up and shot up the stairs that meet that trail. Really swift… I was shaking in my boots. Has anyone else seen the sasquatch??

[JanS]

hey, I totally understand….I live right behind Adm. Safeway, and it gets here quick. The online service is great….and…they remember you.:))

hehe. I got a quote from WS radiator of nearly 500.00

Courtesy tire came in at about 350.

I decided to replace it myself and figured if it would take a real mechanic half a day that I could do it in two.

parts Cost 160.00 + tax for the extra cooling version and I only skinned one knuckle.

I did however find out that a mixture of coolant and transmission fluid makes a Rod Stewart hair gel of great strength.

Here I was assuming standard html 1 did not work. Lets test some stuff.

A cursory glance indicates that most of the cited documents are online At the LOC if a little hard to read due to the 18th century spelling and font and the dark patina of the medium.

The sentence you quote makes little sense outside the context of the preceding and following paragraphs. It’s almost as if one were following the example of a local institute who attempt to cast doubt on an idea or theory by picking at one part of it and then declaring that the entire body of work acquired over decades, must be ignored and the magical explanation is thereby proven.

Let’s post a little more of the chapter and see.

From History Forgotten, the most widely circulated of the internet lists: “Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of the Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed, Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of Scripture, and His personal intervention. It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society.1 Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.”

William Federer’s version of the 1777 Bible story is typical of those found in the majority of religious right American history books. It tells half of the real story, includes a quote from an actual committee report, but ends with a fabricated resolution. The resolution is created to change the outcome of the story from Congress dropping the matter, which is what really happened, to Congress proceeding to import the Bibles. Tim LaHaye’s version, that Congress printed Bibles for the Indians, has absolutely no basis in fact. But, as drastically different as their stories are, both Federer and LaHaye cite the same pages from the Journals of the Continental Congress as their source.

In addition to changing the outcome of the story, none of the religious right American history books fully explain why Congress was considering importing the Bibles in the first place. Most mention that the war with England caused a shortage of Bibles, which is true, but this is only half the story. Congress’s consideration of the matter had to do with the prevention of price gouging.

Not all Americans during the Revolutionary War were the virtuous, Christian citizens portrayed in the religious right version of American history. Many were taking advantage of war shortages and charging outrageous prices for just about anything they could get their hands on. No product was safe – not even Bibles. The widespread problem of price gouging prompted numerous attempts by individual states, groups of states, and Congress to regulate prices, none of which were very successful. With less than half the country in favor of the war to begin with, Congress was very concerned with minimizing hardships like high prices and shortages of items previously imported from England.

In 1777, three ministers from Philadelphia, Francis Alison, John Ewing, and William Marshall, came up with a plan to alleviate the Bible shortage. Their idea was to import the necessary type and paper, and print an edition in Philadelphia. The problem with this plan, however, was that, if the project was financed and controlled by private companies, the Bibles would most likely be bought up and resold at prices that the average American couldn’t afford.

Rev. Alison wrote a memorial to Congress, explaining the dilemma and asking for help. What the ministers wanted Congress to do was finance the printing, as a loan to be repaid by the sale of the Bibles. As Rev. Alison explained in the memorial, if Congress imported the type and paper, and Congress contracted the printer, then Congress could regulate the selling price of the Bibles.
