Ken – I agree.

But how was the food?

Sorry I did a search on the quote in question.

Do it yourself and you will see the results I saw.

To stretch my sharing of what came up on a Google search into ME trying to make a connection with Obama is inappropriate as that is not at all what I posted. I didn’t say a thing about it either way, just shared the results of the quote.

It isn’t my van.

as a humorous note, the Air Force has adopted as their new slogan “Above All.” In German, that would translate to “Uber Alis”, the same slogan as the Nazi Party.

Not making this up.

Apparently McCains’s getting quite a bang for his buck with THE ONE ads. According to David Gergen, who has worked with White Houses, both Republican and Democrat,

“As a native of the south, I can tell you, when you see this Charlton Heston ad, ‘The One,’ that’s code for, ‘he’s uppity, he ought to stay in his place.’ Everybody gets that who is from a southern background.”

If nobody here gives you a lead then I suggest you call Glazer’s Camera @(206)624.1100. http://www.glazerscamera.com.

I’m sure they’ll give you a great recommendation. They’ve never steered me wrong on any camera/photography questions.

Guidosmom, what an unfortunate series of events; I’m so sorry! When I lived at West Ridge Park, they were letting people move in even though we all knew it was supposed to be going condo, and told nobody who moved it. (Got to the point that whenever I would see someone exit the office after considering a rental, I’d let them know so nobody else would get burned without warning.) So unfair to uproot people with so little notice. I actually put myself on the DPD email list so I could see if my current rental house is put up for conversion at some point, in case my landlord doesn’t mention it ahead of time!

I just found out that the house I mentioned above apparently doesn’t allow pets, so unfortunately that won’t work for you. But if anyone else is looking for a house to rent, this is the Craiglist listing on it that I just found: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/apa/782572923.html

I have nothing to do with this house, nor have I seen the inside – I’m just a neighbor.

Seeing where this thread is leaning, I was reminded the other day of what I told my Brother in Law in 2002 when he was looking forward to war since he could get a promotion out of recruiting.

“I am not anti war, I am anti stupidity.” “Take out the Taliban and rebuild Afghanistan and you will do something good as well as what no army has done in modern history. Go for it. But pretending it was Iraq instead of the Saudis and the Pakistani ISI that set up 9-11 is just freakin dumb.”

There is always the fear of venturing to a new chef-owned restaurant. Either it’s wonderful or it’s not. Spring Hill in West Seattle is not.

There were four of us this last Saturday night, August 2, 2008, all of us experienced around-the-world diners. We gave it 2 months to work out the quirks and decided to venture forth.

The first problem was no substitutions. One of our party ordered an entree but asked for vegetables instead of the starch. We were informed that “the chef allows for no substitutions, whatsoever”. Another of our party requested the entree rare. It was served well done. Then my duck arrived raw. And yes, I know how duck should be cooked, but this was raw. I sent it back, asking for just a minute more of cooking. Twenty (20) minutes later I am complaining as to where my food is. Apologies came but too late. Obviously a bit of “chef attitude” involved.

There are two kudos I can give. The space is sleek and well done. Also, the wine list, though sparse, is excellent. However, none of this makes up for the fact that at Spring Hill, the customer does not come first. I hope this changes, as it could definitely become a destination restaurant. Until then, maybe a course in customer service from Nordstrom would be in order.

Are there any photographers out there who can vouch for a company to go to for b&w reprints? I have a negative that is about 2 X 2.5 from the 40’s, I am guessing, and I just want to get a few prints made. Thanks.

If you guys really want me to bust out the Hitler Quotes I can do it.

Rest assured they have to cherry pick with a long pole to get any that describe Obama or any Dem.

The real dog whistle in the recent McSame ads are aimed at “left behind” readers. “The One” is code for the Anti-Christ for those who subscribe to the John Nelson Darby heresy as fictionalized by Tim LeHaye.

Look for it in an email bx near you.

This is the core swiftboat tactic of the next few months and it will be effective among the Holy rollers the ignoranti and those who don’t want to admit to their hard core racism.

I am pretty sure they were never going to vote for Obama anyway.

Just a taste of Adolf the creationist:

Everybody who has the right kind of feeling for his country is solemnly bound, each within his own denomination, to see to it that he is not constantly talking about the Will of God merely from the lips but that in actual fact he fulfils the Will of God and does not allow God’s handiwork to be debased. For it was by the Will of God that men were made of a certain bodily shape, were given their natures and their faculties. Whoever destroys His work wages war against God’s Creation and God’s Will.

…

The result of all racial crossing is therefore in brief always the following:

Lowering of the level of the higher race; and physical and intellectual regression and hence the beginning of a slowly but surely progressing sickness.

To bring about such a development is, then, nothing else but to sin against the will of the eternal creator.

Even the most superficial observation shows that Nature’s restricted form of propagation and increase is an almost rigid basic law of all the innumerable forms of expression of her vital urge. Every animal mates only with a member of the same species. The titmouse seeks the titmouse, the finch the finch, the stork the stork, the field mouse the field mouse, the dormouse the dormouse, the wolf the she-wolf, etc.

…

Should the same renunciation not be possible if this injunction is replaced by the admonition finally to put an end to the constant and continuous original sin of racial poisoning, and to give the Almighty Creator beings such as He Himself created?

From where do we get the right to believe, that from the very beginning Man was not what he is today? Looking at Nature tells us that in the realm of plants and animals changes and developments happen. But nowhere inside a kind shows such a development as the breadth of the jump, as Man must supposedly have made, if he has developed from an ape-like state to what he is today.

Gerry is running for PCO in his precinct.

Any libertarian or Ron Paul supporter neighbors who want to annoy him, pick a candidate of your own and run against him as a write in. :)

I have an excellent financial advisor who I highly recommend, but he’s not in West Seattle (located near the P.I. bldg on Elliott Ave). He’s helped me with budgeting, investments, benefits, 401K, goals, the works! He has a real knack for explaining things and providing options so I can be comfortable with my decisions.

The initial consultation is free too.

Since it’s not West Seattle, not sure if I should post his info, so contact me (or post a reply) if interested!

Thanks so much you guys. :) I really appreciate it. I am feeling a bit more hopeful. I am just SO sick of moving, SO sick of trying to get my dog used to moving, and really wanted my next move to be into a home I purchase. Urgh… oh well… timing must not be right. Anyway, to those asking if I were in a lease, etc… here is the story:

We signed a 6 month least last November, they told us they only do 6 month leases. They told us no detail about the possibility of the property being torn down and townhomes built. It wasn’t until the mailman said he was surprised to see people living in this duplex again that we learned of this. Apparently other tenants had been living in it, they got kicked out and the property was scheduled to be demolished. Due to the economy they canceled the project and put the property back up for rent. We learned of this in Nov. and called the property manager right away. They claimed to have no idea about this and they were sure the owner would have informed them had this been the case. We relaxed a bit. Then March came and we woke up to find a yellow notice sign in a yard showing that the owner had applied for permits to build or something. Again, we called the property manager who claimed to have no idea and said she’d call the owner and find out. She got back to us a few weeks later and said he was going to be building townhomes in the future but not for a long time and that we’d have plenty of notice. Perhaps a few months later and 30 days is considered a “long time” and “plenty of notice” in their minds. The people in the homes around us are livid, and really don’t want more townhomes built up around them. When our 6 month lease was up, we tried calling the property manager (who never seems to answer unless she really wants something, like to know if our neighbor is home), we then emailed asking if we could have another 6 month lease. She completely ignored our emails as well. We left with friends this past Friday morning to go camping, came back yesterday (Sunday) afternoon to find an envelope with our names on it, with a piece of paper inside with no letterhead, letting us know we need to be out by the 31st because the duplex will be demolished on Sept. 1st. This paper was typed, and had no signature. Oh, it also said they have other apartments available downtown and that they’d give us $1,000 for our trouble. Again, no signature, and it almost seemed like we’d only get $1,000 if we move into one of their apartments. This is the second time in 2 years that my partner has been kicked out of a place for condo conversions or townhome conversions. She is so over it as well. Okay.. enough wining. Thanks so much you guys for caring, and for sending me leads on places. I really appreciate it, as does my partner and our dog. :)

NewResident,

sorry i was grumpy. i shouldn’t have said you deserved anything…

[JoB]

Magpie…

you hit the nail on the head… it’s not about employment any more… it’s not about service.. it’s about shareholder value.. and as long as businesses are in business primarily to cater to shareholder value… employees need all the protection they can get.

[hammerhead]

I couldn’t find a date as to when this is going to happen. It had better not be during the week. I have business and CAN NOT use a bus. This is not fair to those who have to drive there car for work purposes. Sorry if I missed the date. The economy is rough enough on my business I don’t need for it to get any worse.

Thanks. I am looking for someone who could look at our finances and budget and help make some recommendations about how we should be directing our investments and how much we should be investing to hit some of our short term and long term goals.

O’m also going to give Dightman a call. Any other recommendations?

[Veronica]

That sounds great! I’m actually looking for someone who can babysit a few hours this Thursday afternoon, if possible. How do we go about exchanging information? I’m new to this.

I worked for a company that was/is a pretty good company where the union members decertified it the union and became non union. I was in management and we weren’t allowed to even mention the union around our employees during that time period (very strict NLRB rules). The frustration that I had with the union was that they could keep my staff from working if they didn’t pay their dues.

At the same time, I can think of many bad companies that it would help to Unionize as they treat their employees like crap. I guess the bottom line is that ultimately, it all comes down to $.

I interviewed at Qwest for a management job back about 7 years ago. The person who interviewed me asked if I had ever worked in a union shop because the staff I would be managing was union and “they all cheated”. Wow, I came home and prayed that I didn’t get the job because I couldn’t believe that anyone would actually say that in an interview..I ultimately chocked it down to the interviewer as they never even bothered to call or write that I didn’t get the job.

As far as airlines/unions going bankrupt..as long as we don’t want to pay fair market value for flying, they have to do something to keep their shareholder value up. (Ultimately, it is all about shareholder value……..)

[JoB]

charlabob,

they didn’t stick together long enough. When Continental “folded” it took those employees a long time and a lot of concessions to get new jobs… and in my opinion it broke the back of the major airline unions…

continental bankrupted to break it’s unions.. united to break it’s pensions… what’s next?

[charlabob]

Thanks to Mr. JT, JoB, and, of course, Catlbob for the research.

The problem is the airlines began this attempt to get worker give-backs long before the gas prices soared. One thing I admire about the airline workers is, for the most part, they’ve stuck together — that is another hallmark of unions — it’s called solidarity, as opposed to “divide and conquer.”

Do a google search of “McCain+Hitler” and you get two primary sources: John Haggee (McCain’s “pastor” Haggee) saying Hitler was doing G-d’s work” and Ann Coulter, saying McCain wasn’t another Hitler because Hitler had a coherent tax policy. Be careful where you go with this stuff…it may backfire on you. :-)
