price range? the unit above me is still open. $1400/ month all utilities included, cat friendly. month to month ok.

Ok, so I’m not *actually* looking for someone to adopt my friend but I am trying to help her find a place to live. She’s struggling to find a rental because she had some credit problems between jobs. She now has a great job but a horrible living situation that has temporarily landed her on a friends couch. (Who hasn’t been there at some point?)

She also has a cat that she can not live without and prefers to find a single unit (no roomates) that’s month to month with utilities included.

Any ideas or options would be greatly appreciated!

How about a bowling party? In2theknight, you in? :)

Good idea JenV! I’m up for another WSB meet-up. We should probably do it sooner rather than later. The closer to the election, the more snarky we’re all going to be! :)

when I was 20, I worked for two days as a telemarketer…or so I thought. It turned out we were calling to garner votes for a political race in Louisiana, of all places. Yes, I lived in Olympia at the time. It was horrifying. We had to call random people and ask them who they were voting for…and why they should vote for “our” candidate – who happened to be a good ol’ boy from the south, right wing, etc. I quit after two days because my stomach hurt to have those words come out of my mouth, and some of the things those ignorant people would say to me. A direct quote: “well of course I’m voting for XXXX- he’s the white one, isn’t he?” Sick and wrong.

Here’s an article about cell phones from Gallup. http://www.gallup.com/poll/110383/Does-Gallup-call-cell-phones.aspx

It seems to be younger voters that have only cell phones, and we all know how their voter turn-out tends to be…

For people who have lived here through multiple presidential elections, is the time difference a big deal? Is it accepted fact that calling the Eastern states in advance of polls closing on the West coast tends to discourage people from voting out here? Having lived in the Eastern and Central timezones my whole life I honestly never thought about that issue until now.

In2theknight – I read your earlier post about the Seattle Freeze – it seems to have been deleted/replaced with this one?

Anyhoo, I have never had an issue with the Seattle Freeze – as a matter of fact, we met all of our closest friends at the West Seattle Bowling Alley! We were all just chillin in the bar, and next thing you know we have friends for life. It can happen. Where do you like to go? Hey, if you knit, we have a great knitting group we just started up on Wednesdays…and keep your eyes open here on the forums – every once in a while we have a big WSB meet-up…as a matter of fact, it’s about time for another one….

Rec it up to higher visibility if you can.

Larry: You should sign up at DK so you can post it in your own diary. There is a 24 hour waiting period though with a new sign up.

The site averages 2 million visitor a day according to sitemeter:

I passed it on the Daily Kos with your links attached. Good work.

I listened and can’t stop crying and smiling. Simultaneously. It’s a powerful frigging song.

Have you sent it directly to the Obama blogs (local or national)? I’ll check out what’s available this afternoon unless someone has already taken care of it. Knowing this blog, wouldn’t surprise me. :-)

Thank you guys.

JenV – I suspect she doesn’t use that address anymore. Given the shamelessness and the pandering I could see McCain sayimg, “Thank you my friend,” and stealing the song. So many days — so many lawsuits.

[miws]

Thanks Jo and WSMom!

I’ll be going grocery shopping around 12:30, so maybe mid-afternoon or so would be best.

I’ll E-M my info to you, Jo.

It really was a great group. So nice to meet you all. I too have knitting homework! Thanks for the DVR, Jen. Loved seeing the non knitting projects, too. Awesome!

[RainyDay1235]

POLL numbers don’t mean much to me – unless anyone has ‘off the street’ #’s. Again, I don’t know anyone in my demographic (mostly Obama supporters) who own a land-line.

However, PUSH-POLLING has now begun. Classy job GOP!

thanks to hackers, we have Sarah Palin’s email address – shall we send it to her?

From Huffington Post this morn:

Bizarre McCain Remarks Appear To Reject Spain As Ally

http://tinyurl.com/4nunbm

If you speak/read Spanish, here is the original report from a Spanish newspaper:

http://tinyurl.com/3gmpwf

Here’s the report translated:

http://tinyurl.com/4xme36

This is part of what tpm has to say:

“In Spain, there seem to be two lines of thinking. The great majority appear to think the McCain was simply confused and didn’t know who Zapatero was — something you might bone up on if you were about to do an interview with the Spanish press. The assumption seems to be that since he’d already been asked about Castro and Chavez that McCain assumed Zapatero must be some other Latin American bad guy. A small minority though think that McCain is simply committed to an anti-Spanish foreign policy since he’s still angry about Spain pulling it’s troops out of Iraq. Finally, a few of those who lean toward the first view speculate that McCain may have confused Zapatero with the Zapatista rebel group in Mexico.”

Larry…

i don’t know Barak Obama personally.. but i think i know who can help with that.. even tho she doesn’t know Barak personally either.

i will see what i can do… in fact, i will see what several friends can do…

and i already sent it to family and friends:) you are probably being listened to somewhere in Virginia, Japan, Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington as we speak:)

[lmsings]

Thanks so much JoB. I guess the thing that would help most is to send the link to friends and family. Do you know Barack Obama personally?

>At least she doesn’t know enough to correct him when he’s wrong.

I dunno. I totally foresee her becoming too big for her britches and McCain losing his temper, LOL. I saw her interrupt him and say she had something to add during one of his speeches. He responded cordially but looked peeved :)

>>Palin jumped right in from the first question directed to Republican running mate Sen. John McCain on how he would address the threat of radical Islam. After McCain gave a short response, Palin interrupted, asking, “John, John. Can I add something? I want to add something to that.”

“Always,” McCain replied, drawing cheers and applause from a crowd of 2,000 packed into a gym at Grand Rapids Community College.

Hope you have had your morning cup o’coffee. These thoughts were confusing even with a cup-a-joe!

[JoB]

Larry..

what do i think…

i think you have found a way to reach those that reason can’t.

more important is what i feel.

I feel hope on a morning when i have been facing my own despair.

i think i need to play this every morning.

now.. how can we help you get this to the rest of America?

[beachdrivegirl]

i myself just think people dont look enough at what these “solutions” (if you can call them that) are doing to other areas of the environment. Do people realize that it uses 70 times as much energy to create reusable plates, glasses etc??? and that altough it is deiffiuclt styrofoam is recycalbe?? Lets also go a bit further and look @ the water that JoB is using to wash her bags out?? How would you feel if you were living in the drought ridden area of Calfifornia? Just b/c plastic bags, which are recycable, can cause some harm does not mean that banning them is a solution. Maybe we should reward those that do recycle them.

Hi West Seattle Blog,

I’m a singer songwriter from West Seattle and I just uploaded a video to Youtube that I think is relevant in these final weeks up to the election. My song “Yes We Can,” cowritten with Hans York (also a West Seattle resident), was uploaded today’. The song is about Americans making change by paying attention, “staying engaged” and getting involved.

The video was filmed and coproduced by Steven Sherrard. The music was also recorded at Steven’s studio in Issaquah. It features most of the musicians (everyone except bass player, Jon Hamer, because we forgot to move the chair between Jon and the camera when we were filming) including drummer, Ben Smith, who is currently out on tour with Heart, Dan Tyack on pedal steel, Greg Fulton on electric guitar and Hans York on acoustic.

Below is the link. If it doesn’t work by clicking on it, cut and paste it into your browser.

Let me know what you think.

Best,

Larry Murante
