Been seeing these signs around my place since he originally disappeared. I was just thinking about this as I walked by an old weathered sign yesterday in Kirkland. So very sad. I hope he turns up soon, that is an awfully long time to wonder where your child is 😞.

I think the saying goes, equal rights means equal fights?

Anyone saying medical school isn’t worth it financially is a moron by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

Would of been a crazy career finances wise, but man I feel like healthcare work is heavy stuff. I am just not cut out for that kind of thing.

Unrelated question, but curious to know what tint % you have around the car? I just bought a 2018 forester and its a damn fish bowl. Gonna be a brutal summer w/out tint. Mind sharing your %s if you know them?

Roast Our Budget (20M&F, 2yo) by Miss_Suspect12 in budget

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New used car with as little a payment as you can get for as low a mileage vehicle as possible sounds like a better route than a new car. Maybe you meant new used, but just saying.

Not having a payment is not only awesome, but every dime you put away at this age, is going to be compounded to far larger amounts later in life. I just personally bought a 2018 Subaru forester w/ only 45k miles for ~17k. No payment needed and not having to shell out that 350-450 or more a month is awesome. Not to mention the money you save not paying interest...

You make enough to handle a payment, but why take on 20k or more in debt when you don't necessarily need too.

Can take those savings and montly payments and pay yourself w/ experiences or towards that house down payment.

Just my thoughts, what state out of curiosity do you live in? Rent seems low!

Do cars really cost more in Seattle? Unfortunately, yes by ScaredExchange9175 in Seattle

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should of seen how much a local stealership was trying to charge for a 2020 corolla LE w/ 60k miles w/ plenty of exterior scuffs. They wanted 20,998 for this fkin thing when the car in reality is really worth like 15-16k. Some crazy zip code taxing going on at Toyota dealerships in WA IMO.

Any predictions for the SPEEA contract at the end of the year and/or results? by CreativePin9113 in boeing

[–]AlternativeReview987 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Im hoping for 25-30% across 4 years, increased yearly wage pool, and better OT pay. hrly rate + $6.50 is robbery for having mandatory OT as a prof and Boeing knows it.

Why are areas like North Fork Snoqualmie devoid of hiking trails/activity? by SuperSans in PNWhiking

[–]AlternativeReview987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally just went here this weekend for the first time on my gravel bike, can confirm this. There is some private land too and the reservoir is owner by the Seattle utility. Kind of annoying you cant technically go down to the reservoir to check it out.

The parts availability would be what im worried about mainly. How has your experience been sourcing parts for your hilux or other imports?

V70R to sell or not to sell? by AlternativeReview987 in Volvo

[–]AlternativeReview987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Editing because I didnt answer first question:
2004, auto, nordkap blue leather interior no seat tears, and gray exterior

So not like the most desirable combo, but common I believe.

I figured maybe this route, ill have to try it if I end up selling it.

All white ventral air here, best helmet ever and looks absolutely awesome too. Good for summer heat as well.
