I’ve hoped for a long time to see discussions of movies and books and television in these forums, even though they aren’t specific to West Seattle — hey, they’re things people in West Seattle are doing, right? The folks here are so interesting and involved and the discussions would just be fun.

But since many forums have been talking recently about gratuitous violence and trolls with mental issues, I have to recommend a film that everyone should see — available on netflix and elsewhere.

It’s called: He Was a Quiet Man, stars Christian Slater as a nobody who becomes somebody in a horrible way. It’s a low budget somewhat arty little piece — that explains without excusing how some among us get to a place of no return.

And how can you resist a movie with talking fish to expedite the plot? Even my cats watched.

It appears that the Marine is from Snohomish and his family has been getting death threats. They’ve taken down all of their web pages and disconnected their phones.

I must say, the puppy is cute — the Marine, ‘eh, not my type. I’m afraid the stress of battle won’t work, since he’s stationed in Hawaii and that’s where the horror happened.

But I am sad that we (the people, not the people of this blog) aren’t as concerned about the innocent Iraquis who are tortured and killed in horrible ways in our names.

Not sure what the rate is or how often you would need a babysitter; but i love kids! And my niece and nephew are to far away so I would be happy to be an occasional babysitter for you at little or no charge!

[villagegreen]

Just wondering if anyone can give me an idea of the going rate for babysitters these days (3 month old infant). Thanks!

[JoB]

i think there must be some trick to the links…

bonnie, yours worked for me and you are adorable.

and i forgot to tell beachdrivegirl that she is adorable too…

we really do have to figure out some kind f event soon. i think we will be having another official get together soon…

[beachdrivegirl]

Unfortunately my dog will be staying @ home. He gets a little to excited still in big gatherings…

[JoB]

trick.. and it will reach orange.. or maybe we are all still supposed to be basking in those bonus checks we are getting… or…

i’m a little cynical some days:)

[littlebrowndog]

I would love to get a chance to meet all the people here. If there is a get together, I will bring my well-behaved, non-aggressive leashed dog with me as he is my alter ego. I myself should have such good manners.

Erik, maybe my husband and/or I have seen you with your lab. He, I or both of us walk at Alki almost every day with the dogs. They are a yellow lab and a sheltie. The sheltie is the well-behaved one of the pair.

Not sure if this will work, but I’ll try and post my MySpace page here, so you know I’m real too. I’m not a regular poster here, but I am a daily reader (sometimes hourly!). Oh, yeah, this is worth repeating…Go HILLARY!http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=39348837

JanS.. it will come to politics as usual sooner or later and the republicans are counting on it turning off democrats.

you can’t change the same ol same ol unless you get elected.

and i wonder if you can change it then.

Hillary’s campaign didn’t take back off until she hired a new manager who isn’t so squeamish about the high road. As long as it works someone will use it.

i can’t believe i would ever be in a position of justifying the means for the endgame.. but to some extent i am.

It’s absolutely astounding the positions you find yourself at least partially defending as you age.

I am not my parents.. but sometimes i find the d…d things coming out of my mouth.

i can’t find your number after the vacation. call me.

NewRes –

I just happened to notice it was me. I walk the beach every day with my big lab, and often try to catch the sunsets. So they probably were snapping pics and got me. Now I have to come to the site to feed my narcissism.

*Jumps in with my 2 cents*

After seeing the debacle press conference with George and John this morning.

I’m still in bewilderment that being so military minded and distilling the “fear” factor hasn’t proved to be merose by now.

Come November, people will vote their pocketbooks above all else, unless we start seeing the level of fear reach orange, unfortunately.

Wow, everyone’s revealing themsleves. How cool! Way to get the ball rolling House! JoB after looking you up, I still think you’re the coolest, most rational gal around; Jan you are psychic, and of course I know you (Sarah pointed out we were both on here awhile back! :))…i should make an appt one of these days!; and beachdrivegirl I’m a Coug alum too…about 5 years before you, but still very cool! As for me, well I’m just a born and bred WS girl (we are around) who gets far too much enjoyment from this blog. My work day goes by much faster being able to catch up with what everyone posts on here.

I’m thinking (or hoping) more and more that it is fake. First of all, the distance seems unrealistic to me.

My husband won’t stop talking about it (not in a gross way, but sad). It has really affected him.

[JoB]

i really appreciate the heads up on this one because the cute marine holding the puppy was on a page i went to looking for election news and i might have clicked on it had i not been warned. i have a real soft spot for puppies… if you couldn’t tell:)

thanks to you all.. i was spared.

this must be horrible for his family though.

charlabob – What a nice picture of your husband and you! Or should I say, your wife and you? I think this is the c half! Lol.

I don’t have a facebook, or myspace thing and I’m not computer savvy enough to be able to put a picture in a link or anything like that. I’m just going to have to show up at the next get-together.

[JoB]

charlabob.. the picture doesn’t do you justice..

the camera isn’t my friend either.. of about 10 vacation pics hubby took.. one is acceptable… none are lovely. oh well:)

it only means we are such a pleasant surprise for those who meet us after seeing our pictures:)

I noticed it early yesterday morning, and as I was discussing it with a friend, KIRO710 had the sister call in and she was quoted as saying:

“He’s really a warm caring individual”

That video made me sick to my stomach.

And probably won’t leave my thoughts anytime soon.

[JoB]

new resident.. i don’t think of you as interfering at all. sometimes an outside viewpoint is a breath of fresh air…

we can get so busy defending our own little tree that we miss the forest around it:)

and i do think it will be interesting what you ultimately decide to do… i don’t envy your position at all… especially when McCain starts to campaign for those independent and cross-over votes.

If you decide to support him.. i for one will be very interested in your reasons.. and again.. i chose my words carefully.. (i don’t think your reasons will be just rationalizations).

the more we talk to one another about issues, the more we find that on some very basic levels… we have more in common than our political parties would like us to believe.

[JoB]

you and your girlfriends remind me of my daughter and hers… that’s a good thing:)

[Anonymous]

I think I’ve decided to not interfere with the debates between you all. You are going to say what you want about Republicans (just as I could say whatever I want about Democrats). The truth is, it’s politics. It will get ugly. I do really enjoy browsing the discussions regarding Hillary and Obama. But, that is not my discussion to have.

I will say this, though. I’ve said it before. I think the Democrats have a better chance of winning if it’s McCain/Clinton. That’s coming from a Republican.

And, JoB, you are always invited to drink!

[beachdrivegirl]

Thank you. It was from my best friends wedding last summer.

[charlabob]

absolutely, JoB — speaking only for myself, of course, i suspect we’re going to need these drinks long before November.

[JoB]

new resident.. one would think that charlabob’s comment on republican shenanigans gave you renewed hope for your party’s victory ;->

JUST A GENTLE JOKE .. An all in fun poke in the ribs for those who didn’t see that.

can i come drink too? either way i think i am going to need it:)

[Anonymous]

charlabob – you definitely have yourself a deal! The Democrats win, I buy you a drink. Republicans, you buy! I like that plan!
