In reply to: Spring Break & Summer Day Camps…
AnonymousInactiveYes, it does remind me of High School too!! I am still trying to find some information on day camps so when I do I will definitely write this blog. I do know at the Seattle Center there will be Whirligig on March 28th – April 13th. Check out this website: http://www.seattlecenter.com/programs/detail.asp?EV_EventNum=23

AnonymousInactiveIt’s just sad that because I have my own opinions and beliefs that are not similar to theirs, they feel the need to attack. I truly hope to continue using this site as it could be extremely helpful to me since I just moved here. It is my husband and I and we know absolutely no one here! My 8 year old daughter is coming for Spring Break and it would be wonderful for her to attend a camp of some kind. Please let me know if you find anything out! Again, I’m sorry that you also have had a bad experience using this blog. It really is a shame. Almost feels like high school.

AnonymousInactiveHi NewResident,
Thanks so much for sticking up for me!! It is very apparent that the regulars on this forum have decided to “gang” up on me because of another users use of exclamation marks and being an excitable person. These people need to get a life that is for sure, but apparently the idea that I have an alter ego as LatteMom is just to exciting and engaging for everyone to stop, think and actually read and listen to what I Cinnamon have to say and to stop comparing me to another user.
NewResident, you are also very right hat in doing so the people who continue to compare me to LatteMom and now believing that you and I are one in the same person have nothing better to do and they unfortunately have lost the true idea of what this forum area is all about. I am glad that as a new resident to this area you are not jaded and do understand the source of information that this forum brings to others.
Thank you!!

swimcatMemberSome couples spend over a year (I’m not one of them) planning a wedding, and I find it appalling (that’s the only word I could come up with) that the invitees can’t take one and a half minutes to check a box, put a slip of paper into a self-addressed envelope, lick it, and drop it in the mail pick-up.

AnonymousInactivePeople are trying to actually use this site for references. You would think, after seeing that cinnamon is obviously still a around, you would realize how ridiculous you all look. Guess not. Who was it that made the comment as to when you don’t know something for fact, it can come back to bite you? Bet you’re all a little sore today, huh? Or, I guess, to ignorant to realize your mistake! Oh well, it’s a shame that some of you are ruining the use of this site for other people. Nice crowd of people you all are!

WSMomParticipantHeard last night on the Colbert Report:
Mitt Romney is making a real case for himself, with his soaring rhetoric he has explained that he understands the importance of the Reagan legacy to the Republican party. Romney says he understands we want to live in the house that Reagan built. Now, what’s so great about the house that Reagan built? Well, first of all Reagan built it in the hardest possible way. Using supply side economics you build the top floor first, you prop it up with homeless people, and you hope the rest of the house trickles down.

February 6, 2008 at 10:08 pm #613634In reply to: Wa Dem Caucus
KenParticipantIf you live here you can caucus.
The Dems use the honor system. You can fill out the form at the caucus if you like or just go ahead and do it online or by mail in/ downloaded form and though you will not have changed it officially enough to vote in the primary (sec of state makes those rules), it is still good enough for the Dem caucus.
There will also be forms to fill out if anyone wants to join the 34th district Democrats.
The online form and info is here:
http://www.34dems.org/members-join.htm
We will also be begging for donations at the caucus since the local district organization pays for the meeting rooms, and all expenses for the caucus which takes a big bite out of what we can give to local candidates (Darcy Burner in the 8th, Gov Gregoire etc..) later in the year. It is NOT tax deductible since it is political and there are many who cannot afford to donate. No one is turned away.
We never carry any more than the required newsletter postage over into the month after a general election.
The next 9 months will be the push for our nominee and the other state and national races. If you want to join with your neighbors and make a difference this is the time.

In the past there has been a meeting at the machinist hall where people gather to watch the results as they come in from various parts of the county and state. This year it might be just CNN.
I have not heard anything about it for this year but I will send out some questions.

KenParticipantAdd
my email is ken@ken-davis.net
My spam filter gets 400-700 spams a day since I use my real name as my email address and it is published on a dozen web sites (political mainly), so try to send plain text and I will reply with my cell phone.
Outlook has a variety of odd behaviors that sometimes precede it failing to work at all.
If you know where your pst file is (or search for *.pst) then you might find a file that you should backup. Outlook keeps damn near everything in this file and if it is deleted or even if it gets too big, it can stop outlook from opening. When it is approaching too big it will cause odd behaviors and sometimes hangs.
Also since you did not define “old” maybe we should talk first. Microsoft mail formats have changed over the years and often not for the better and sometimes in strange ways.
I suspect you are not using one of the really old ones but even incremental changes in outlook can impact certain configurations.
All outlook users should have a backup of their PST files.
Office itself can be a real resource hog even when it is correctly installed and configured.
I trim about 40% of it out at install. Did you max out the memory on your new laptop?
anyway fire off and email and we can figure out whether I need to see it at all.

my candidate is riding a democratic horse.. and i am declared for Hillary.
As for the republicans, i don’t know who is riding who in this race:)
February 6, 2008 at 9:13 pm #613633In reply to: Wa Dem Caucus
JoBParticipantKen, turns out i didn’t get my voter registration changed here in time to actually vote at the caucus, but it is my understanding that i can still come to comment. is that true?

KenParticipantJenV
If you know your precinct you can look up the caucus location on this page.
http://www.34dems.org/news_caucus-2008-locations.htm
If you need to find your precinct number and don’t have your voter card handy, you can enter your name at the king county elections page:
https://www.metrokc.gov/elections/pollingplace/voterlookup.aspx
remember polling places are not caucus locations (though they can be)
My guess would be West Seattle High school if your in the same precinct as Hope Lutheran, otherwise you need to look it up.
There is also a caucus finder for the whole state at:
http://wa-demchairs.org/2008/caucuslocations.php
But it seems to be a bit slow indicating a lot of traffic. Actually after trying it several times it looks like it tipped over from the load…
and finally there is this map from king county. It is a somewhat large pdf file but you can zoom in to your location and see the boundary streets and precinct numbers.

felicialhMemberThank you everyone- HUGE help and makes me feel less anxiety over making this a success. There is still room (this is a new group that I just posted yesterday), here is a link to the group, including the first meeting where we will figure out all the details to how the group will work. Thanks again for the great info!
February 6, 2008 at 8:35 pm #614876In reply to: Spring Break & Summer Day Camps…
AnonymousInactiveHey, cinnamon. Really good to hear from you! Just in case you are not aware, everyone on this blog thinks that I am you. Hopefully someone will respond to your query, as I, too, would be interested in camps during Spring Break. YMCA wasn’t too appealing. Once again, sorry if I’ve ruined the blog experience for you. There were some heated debates going on and not too many people were very impressed by what I wrote and then all of a sudden, you and I are the same person!

in forum Open DiscussionAnonymousInactiveI need some suggestions for day camps during Spring Break and also for the Summer. I have checked into the programs at the YMCA but would like to see other options.

February 6, 2008 at 7:55 pm #614842In reply to: Airport parking
AnonymousInactiveI’m not sure who you are flying (what airline) but I just wanted to remind you that if it’s Southwest, be sure to print your boarding pass 24 hours in advance. Especially since your traveling with a little one. They don’t pre-board families anymore, so you would want to try and be in the first boarding group.
February 6, 2008 at 7:46 pm #614841In reply to: Airport parking
bigmarkMemberThanks everyone. Normally I would take a taxi, but for this trip we are taking our 9-month old daughter, and I can’t really bear the thought of getting her and her carseat, along with all of our stuff, in a taxi. So I thought that driving down to the airport and taking a shuttle over would be the easiest, assuming it’s not too expensive. Turns out that there are some very reasonable options down there. As a couple of people mentioned, AAA offers discounts that can bring the cost down to $7 – $8 a day. If I can park for $50 for the week that I’m gone, I’m already better off than what the taxi would cost me. Not quite as convenient as door-to-door service (assuming the taxi comes when requested), but a pretty good trade-off. For shorter trips, this would be an even better deal. I’m going to try it on this trip and may consider it for future trips. Fortunately, both our departure and return flights are midday, so we can budget lots of time to get there and not have to worry about doing any of this in the dark. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks everyone for your input.

AnonymousInactiveOk, Job….
He was usually known as glibid o, however, even after a day of decafalon, he was feeling intaxication and considered using foreploy at the pub to raise his spirits. As he entered, he had a feeling of hipatits. However, after surveying the other patrons, he suddenly felt the Dopeler effect come over him. He quickly turned caterpallor and exited the pub the same ignoranus as when he entered.

JoBParticipantfelicialh, is your writer’s group still open? I am currently looking for a group.
February 6, 2008 at 6:26 pm #614865In reply to: Where can groups meet in West Seattle?
WSBKeymasterWe were just at High Point the other day interviewing a librarian for an upcoming story and we can verify, that’s a nice meeting room. Probably overkill for this but our other favorite space for bigger gatherings (and it does cost $) is the Camp Long lodge.
February 6, 2008 at 6:25 pm #614854In reply to: Still a horse race…
WSBKeymasterWe encourage everybody to caucus.
It really is a great experience and doesn’t take that long.
Which reminds me, I need to find out how to get results of how West Seattle ‘voted’ once it’s all said and done on Saturday!
