“The President Show,” on Comedy Central, is a funny, fantastic show for these troubled times. Therefore, my partner and I were eagerly looking forward to watching “The President Show Holiday Special” tonight. Instead, they aired a bunch of idiotic “That ’70s Show” reruns from the 1990s. Was anyone here able to watch “The President Show Holiday Special,” which was supposed to air at 10 PM Nov. 30? I already emailed Comedy Central, but I was also curious if anyone else encountered this problem.
P.S. I know I can stream the show on my laptop in a day or two, but we really wanted to watch it on TV.

Jan –

I recall when WSB ran the story about your specific health emergency (a transfusion or transplant in a life-threatening situation). I admired you for having shown the courage and trust in your neighborhood to go public with your full name and your need for help. All the same, you had already established yourself (and continue to establish yourself) as an intelligent and effective voice in the community via your frequent comments and forum postings. I’m sorry if you feel that my comments about scammers were aimed at you or your situation or anyone (most especially West Seattle Blog) who helped you when you were in need.

[JanS]

Desiree, I know how hard it is to swallow your pride and ask for help. It is not easy, for damned sure. I hope that all turns out well for you, and please ignore the jerks that pop up to make you look like a bad guy. Hugs !

[JanS]

Forest,not everyone in the world is out to scam you, for god’s sake. It and this community was extremely helpful to me both through Go Fun Me, and a huge fundraiser locally when I was diagnosed with an incurable kidney disease, and through a transplant. And I can never, ever thank them enough. Here’s some advice…if you don’t want to give anything, then don’t…but keep your rude and cruel opinions to yourself. Until you can walk in Desiree’s shoes, just shut it and walk away. What you posted is ridiculous and not needed. I realize there are negative people, un-empathetic people in this community, and most would just ignore the OP. So, why don’t you, too. Damn ! :(

Go ahead and donate your money and goodwill where you want. Beyond its naming of West Seattle as a whole, with not a detail to suggest a resident’s knowledge of the area in general or its at least five sub-neighborhoods, I choose to not trust the posted story and its request for money to finance a noble but essentially vague cause. I would note the story and request come from someone who has never before posted on the WSB forum.

Yes, I am a terrible and heartless person. So be it. I am also the nephew of an elderly West Seattle native who has paid a good amount of money to sketchy charities that know exactly what to say when cold-calling local residents and inviting them to fund a good and purportedly local cause. Bah, humbug says I.

Hi! I am sorry but I am writing from a different account which I had to create because I locked myself from the old one. Anyway, I was trying to contact the person who was supposed to take care of my cat but he isn’t answering so I’d like to get in touch with you if that is possible?? You can write me an email to: natselane.pic@gmail.com and we can exchange phone numbers? Thank you!

Dear Desiree, thank you for your brave soul, and putting your heart out here on line.

Forest, whoever you are, you are not welcome here. Not in my world. Why in the world would you feel the urge to even respond like you did? How mean can a person possibly be? Shame on you, Mister!

WSB, thank you for pointing out this mean comment and not deleting it.

I had the same experience with Danny Munoz. He charged me $400 up front, was completely unspecific about the scope, and did very little. When I saw how things were going, I fired him and asked for a refund for the remaining balance. He agreed but then invented a new charge for picking up bark that we hadn’t agreed to and didn’t give me my refund. In the month in which he did about one-fifth of my yard, the growth got really out of hand. In terms of his communication, when I canned him, he told me the problem was that my expectations were impossible and that no wonder I had trouble getting people to work on my yard. By contrast, the guy I hired after him did the *entire* yard, including the messy overgrowth Danny left, for $350 and did a beautiful job. Linda, who always recommends him, is his girlfriend.

I’ve also had them close out parking violation complaints without taking any action (and while the violation was ongoing.) Seems like they need to find-and-fix their app support.

[HelperMonkey]

I tried to use the Find It, Fix It app to report a parking violation yesterday. I received an email this morning from parking enforcement letting me know that the CSR system is downloaded once per day, Monday through Friday at 7 am. That makes it fairly useless for reporting parking violations in real time. (I didn’t have much luck with it reporting a downed stop sign, either, to be honest).
.
Per the email: As stated on both the Find It Fix It and Seattle.gov websites, if you need immediate assistance, please call the non-emergency number. The non-emergency number is (206) 625-5011; choose option 6 for faster service. SPD Dispatch will send one of the on-duty parking enforcement officers to the location. This is the fastest response to any parking complaint, day or evening that we can offer.

FYI!

[22blades]

On transportation; I have cared for elderly parents with challenges for a few years now and I can attest to the fact that it is becoming very difficult for seniors and caretakers to function in Seattle. Lack of parking, particularly handicapped on downtown streets and some bus service being curtailed has had a major impact on people with challenges. As JoB said about the future, the age demographics of this city is like a giant ignored elephant. A “bunch” of us are getting older and we’ll have to find a way to keep everyone productive and relevant.

[22blades]

Hmm.. I see. Probably not the best thought out response there. I am actually going through a similar ordeal. The response was from the view of not vetting out a business before proceeding with a purchase. I was in a bit of a urgent situation made worse by my poor choice of business. I’m sick of the situation and I absolutely feel for the person who started that thread. It’s awful and it’s leading to a very unhappy and very expensive end. My apologies if my response came out weird.

cbb~IF things don’t work out for you finding the ‘Capers Santa’, I’d like to offer my services.

This holiday season will mark my 21st year Ho-Ho-Ho’ing as a volunteer to raise money for children-related non-profits. For the past 4 years ALL proceeds go directly from the customer to WestSide Baby.

I have many west Seattle families I visit each season as well as others off the peninsula. I also do phone calls to those kids who’s families will be traveling over the holidays, reassuring the kids that Santa knows they’ll be gone and where he’ll be going to deliver their presents.

One family has even video recorded Santa delivering presents under their tree and eating a cookie the kids left out for me!

This happened one night a week or so before Christmas after the kids were in bed. Afterward the parents hid the gifts until Christmas Eve, then on Christmas Day after all the present were opened they played the video showing Santa doing his deed!!

So if you, or anyone reading this is interested in an experienced and fun-loving Santa AND donating directly to WestSide Baby, please write and lets get a visit scheduled!!! (references available)

Note~Christmas Eve is likely already filled with 3 long-standing annual visits, although I have yet to receive confirmation from those families.

cbb, I just received this on Facebook, from the West Seattle Food Bank, sharing that “Santa” (Tony) is appearing at Capers through December 23rd.

Not sure if you are on Facebook, but here is a link:

Hi (fill in first name) –

Welcome to the (fill in blank) neighborhood. I’ll definitely be sending my credit card information and a blank check to you. Right after I have helped out a deposed prince in Nigeria.

[desiree_squires]

Hi West Seattle neighbors.

I’m Desiree. I’ve lived in West Seattle three and a half years now and love it.

Unfortunately, I’ve met some difficult life challenges lately. These challenges have created a passion in me to speak up for people who may be experiencing the same thing.

Please know my story deals with mental health. I don’t feel mental health is an open or accepted subject in our society. I hope to change that. But if it’s something that makes you uncomfortable, or that you don’t feel ready to support, I would ask you to think before considering reading.

If you’re ready to support the need for education around this subject in our society, this story may resonate with you in a huge way.

While I have created a GoFundMe for my current situation, what’s more important to me than finances is being heard so that others can be heard as well.

I’m reaching out and being brave, even though I am unaware of any negative repracussions I may be subjecting myself to. But I’m ready. More people need to speak up and ask for help. I hope to be a leader in that fight.

Thanks for reading.

Desiree 💛

Well said. It’s really all about getting through the cold, dark winter with lights, food, friends and family, right? Happy holidays, all!

Anyone know the resources if I wanted to renovate/flip a property? A friend offered to sell me their West Seattle tiny house. I do not know the first person to contact for the repairs (and it needs a lot). Everything/soup-to-nuts: roof, windows, flooring, walls, kitchen, bathroom, everything. I’d rather not spend the time interviewing a dozen different contractors for various repairs and such.

Any reputable West Seattle licensed contractor who can work with permits? Maybe a walk-through would help assess the needs?
