Hi All! I have a Golden Chain tree that needs relocating because it’s in a drainage spot and the soil can’t support it–we don’t have another area where it would fit. I have pics to share if you’d like to see!
Very personal item
Topic: Is tipping out of control?
Last night we went out to dinner at a wonderful restaurant. When our meal was over, the waitress showed up at our table with an electronic credit card reader which displayed a total of our charges with no itemized detail. She handed me the device, which asked if I wanted to tip 22%, 25%, or 28%. Worse yet, we later learned that those suggested tip percentages were based on the total bill, including sales tax. When did it become necessary to tip 22% on an already exorbitant 10.4% sales tax?
I worked as a waiter all through college and have since considered myself a generous tipper and someone who appreciates restaurant staff. But times are different now. Servers are now paid a $21/hour minimum wage and their tips are now tax free income. Despite these changes, how did we get to a point where the suggested lower range of a tip is 22% calculated on food and tax. And don’t get me started about tip jars at fast food restaurants and at my dry cleaners.
I’m supporting a West Seattle family in hiring someone to help their household stating this summer and continuing indefinitely on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and one other morning per week ideally about 6:30am-11am. Responsibilities include some driving of a middle school student to school/activities/camps, light housework & organizing, laundry, and errands. There may be flexibility to add more hours if desired. Pay is $24-$30 per hour depending on experience. If interested, please email Madison.barker@findfaye.com with resume and available start date.
Topic: Crow Feeding (has to stop)
There is a elderly woman who walks the neighborhood and Hiawatha Park, throwing food from a bag feeding the crows. Mind you, this also feeds the squirrels and other vermin….
This is not healthy for the people who live nearby. All these animals can fend for themselves. By feeding them you are encouraging them to live nearby. Crows dive-bomb people when they have young in the nest. Rats and raccoons are a menace to human health. Crows are also loud. My son was dive bombed by a crow – it cut open his head and he had to get a tetanus shot. We have witnessed many people get a “fly by” very close, it’s alarming and not safe.
Please stop. If you see her, please ask her to stop. We have asked many times. It’s usually early morning as I think she’s afraid of too many people witnessing this bad behaviour.
Looking for someone who loves to run and loves to talk about running. You don’t need anything but a passion for the sport, we will teach you everything else. A retail background would be great, but it isn’t necessary. Your job will be to sell shoes and apparel, stock shelves, keep the store clean, and help customers find the right product. Be able to start and hold a conversation, as that is basic skill for sales. Shy, wall flower types will probably not like the atmosphere, as we require you to start and maintain customer interactions.
We are looking for a full time person 30-40 hours a week, and a part time person 2-3 days a week. Both positions will include one weekend day at least. These are long term positions, at least 6 months or longer, as it takes a while to get trained and able to be help customers independently. Pay starts at $20.00 but is negotiable based on experience. We also offer bonuses based on store sales. PTO accumulation starts the day you start. We also have an employee discount, and a separate family discount. Free race entries for all races we sponsor, and it’s a pretty cool atmosphere to work in, as most customers are happy to be here.Please drop off a resume in person at the store. We do not respond to emailed resumes unless we have directed you to send it.
The interview will be done during a 3 mile run, so if you get called back, be ready to tell us your favorite 3 mile route! Don’t worry about pace, we will keep it slow (11-12 minute miles) so we can chat.
If you have questions, please drop in and ask them.
My boyfriend’s car was stolen last night 7/16 from the front of Nova apartments near the YMCA. He drives a black Honda civic with a ducktaped drivers side review window (I know he needs to fix it). We called the police and checked to see if it was towed, or hadn’t been towed. Police are looking but if anyone sees anything please let me know or call/text, my number is 2062454339. Any help is appreciated.

How to Apply:
Please email management-team@m2soutfitters.com with a brief introduction about your outdoor experience and explain why you would be a great fit for our team.This man was turning into the parking lot at the West Seattle Nursery as I was leaving and apparently thought I was slightly over the middle line or something? (I don’t think I was, but that seemed like the perceived slight).
It was very unclear if he was planning to let me leave first so he could have all the space to enter or was going to enter (he of course coming from the street had the right of way), but I could see him making faces in the turning lane, seemed upset out of the corner of my eye, as we both waited for passing cars to leave a clearance to turn in and out of the parking lot. The faces started as cars drove by with no opening to turn, maybe he was just pissed I wasn’t just dangerously jutting out into oncoming traffic rapidly, so that he could enter? He then pretty quickly drove in at the first opportunity, (I’m glad I didn’t think he was letting out in or it would have been a crash).
At which point he stops next to me in the driveway instead of continuing into the parking lot. My windows are all down because it’s HOT, my newborn is in the car (this is our first outing postpartum) and our AC isn’t yet flowing enough. This man is SCREAMING at me. Saying who knows what, definitely full of profanities as he can see AND hear my newborn daughter behind the drivers seat crying – a small baby crying as he feels emboldened to scream at me. Again over what?? There clearly was room for him to turn in because he’s doing that as he screams at me.
Against all good judgement I know, I decided turn around to go back. To ask him in what world he thinks it’s ok to scream at a mom as her baby cries over that no less? Stupid, I know. After getting out with daughter in the car seat and putting the carseat in the stroller I saw the man right next to the parking lot looking at plants. I approached him to try to speak about what just happened, to which he immediately gets in my face about a centimeter or less nose nose while wagging his finger right by my eye screaming that he doesn’t care and saying who knows what screaming in my face. I continue to tell him to get out of my face, after way too long he finally does. I then make clear I am a new mom, out for the first time it is insane and incredibly shitty to speak to someone like they did/are, ever, over what again?! And to do it while you can see a child in the backseat and it’s a baby crying?! How shitty. A man, can’t even have a child, has no idea what it’s like, treating a new mom like that? To which he keeps screaming at me he doesn’t care along with profanities.
A younger man he is clearly with, 30s or so, who I hadn’t seen in the car, who confirmed when I asked if he’s the man’s son, but otherwise had said nothing, then starts to go on about how they waited for me for “so long” to turn. (Patently untrue, but also would that make it all ok…??). And he might have seemed classy just with a crazy dad, they both seemed well dressed, not seemingly on meth or anything else that might explain their behavior, just them being them. Then immediately after I stated I’m a new mom, the son, without pause, says to me that I’m “just a fat bitch.”
The comment didn’t bother me but the shittiness of people, that they would say that to attempt to insult, just the general shitty complete lack of humanity and entitlement of men, who could never handle anything women go through, to treat a woman with her newborn that way, does bother me, to a large degree.
After that the older man tried to come towards me again. I moved the stroller an inch forward to block him, the wheel hit up against his toe and the son starts shouting I assaulted him. The son begins recording me with his phone – to which I point out that’s not legal w/o consent in Washington, to stop. He goes on about how he’s going to get my daughter taken away from me that I used the stroller like that while claim to care about my daughter on and on (my daughter is of course fine, as is the man’s toe. He was not nor does he seem harmed and is busy wandering still with his very scraggly small dog as he is shouting the same insults at me as before, not hurt or in pain. The son continued to claim he can record because it’s a public place (not the law) and claiming I assaulted his dad.
A Good Samaritan woman tried to cut in saying to them, “just leave her alone she’s with her child.” To which the son said she assaulted him. To which I said only after you called me a fat bitch. Obviously not helping anything. The woman is now seemingly just confused probably by the trashiness of this all and encourages us to just separate. I do walk away at that point. Stood in the parking lot for a moment just fuming. Then the old man comes out through the front building, one car away from mine. I put the carseat in the car. Then get in the car myself. I see his son then come out and they sit in the car for a moment. I’m debating if it’s safer to just leave or wait for them to leave first. I decide to just leave.
I’m upset after this all of course. First day out postpartum with our second child and that happens. After I got home and we discussed it, my husband stopped in after to see if they could give any information about the man, name etc. They did not but said the man came in before leaving to complain I was “blocking him in in the parking lot.” Again, just categorically untrue.
Stay away from this man if you see him. Or please kick him in the shin in a way that actually hurts on my behalf.
