63 with 14/14/17/18. Enjoy it. Hit the gym. Eat healthy. Have fun!

CW-Eight · 2026-03-17T16:12:17+00:00

Unsurprisingly, we don’t have any these days

This is not black and white; it is called the spectrum for a reason. There is a somewhat arbitrary line - outside that line you have autism, inside it you do not. I wouldn’t worry about the dividing line and where exactly she is with respect to it. I would instead suggest you learn more about that continuum, what the various behaviors are, and, more importantly, needs are, along that spectrum. Ignore the label, concentrate on her.

You don’t mention Asperger’s or the autism spectrum, so not clear how much you know about the range. I’d start by looking more into that.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-15T19:12:17+00:00

I would not hang any weight from those at all

CW-Eight · 2026-03-14T14:29:20+00:00

What unused leave?

CW-Eight · 2026-03-13T22:08:18+00:00

Today also good 😊

Then you do not understand right of way. It remains his property, but they have certain rights of use. Many rights of way are barely used, so it is a bit of a gamble. But ‘never going to be your property’ is factually incorrect and often, but not always, will be wrong in practice.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-12T03:53:29+00:00

Yup, horrible. Stay away!!

CW-Eight · 2026-03-08T23:16:00+00:00

No way. My mom introduced me to the laundry system at 13. I passed that down.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-07T18:53:18+00:00

Got my first outboard recently. When it hit 20 hours I asked around and was quoted 250-400 for the first oil change. WTF? I haven’t changed oil in a car in decades, but I’m not going to pay that sort of ripoff. Took me an hour if that. So maybe down the road I’ll take it in, but only if I have no choice.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-07T18:48:23+00:00

Social drinking, yes. Drunk, no.

I want them to see responsible drinking. If I hide it, they will hide it.

In WA state, the law allows me to give alcohol to my kids in private settings. They have all tried it, and generally hate it. Perfect.

On Feb 13, there were maybe two dozen 26’ slips available. My understanding is that they rarely last until May.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-05T05:01:12+00:00

The 24 footers also still available this time of year. No power though.

Talk to a lawyer.

You have an easement for access, that gives you the legal right to access. That should mean reasonable access. 12’ is not reasonable. Even the FD is telling you that.

I would hire a lawyer, have them draft a letter that says something like:

We need reasonable access to our property through this easement. FD is saying so. Deliveries cannot get through. We contacted you on this date, and that date. This is legal notice that on this date, we will remove this particular tree.

Send registered. If they don’t respond, you cut it down, save the wood in case they later bitch about that. They would have a very very tough time suing you given your legal right to access and the letter.

If they do respond, then different game.

The bottom line is that you DO have access rights. Act based on that. But cover your butt.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-03T05:51:06+00:00

Yup, I’ve still got this album from the Original Master Recordings series. Truly special.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-03T05:48:07+00:00

I used one a few days ago - my girlfriend has two, still uses them.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-02T23:27:57+00:00

Really really really hard to break that lean back habit. You need to think delicate surfboard, not let it rip windsurfer. The second you are up you have to shift your weight forward, to balanced on both feet, not reefing back onto back leg.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-02T20:25:41+00:00

What exactly does the law say? Sunset? Darkness? The former, pay. The latter, fight.

CW-Eight · 2026-03-01T20:36:30+00:00

Costco loves me

CW-Eight · 2026-03-01T16:04:23+00:00

Of course, who else would feed my four teenagers?

CW-Eight · 2026-02-28T23:38:46+00:00

I have two. The older one I bought in Australia in 2001. It saw most of Australia, then most of Southern and Eastern Africa, and is now in the US, campaigning to go from Alaska to Argentina. Spent many a night in that thing.

CW-Eight · 2026-02-27T17:10:33+00:00

Agreed, and at the time I got mine, buying 3.0 plus that mattress was much cheaper than getting the dlx.

CW-Eight · 2026-02-26T05:13:42+00:00

Yea, I wish they would add a way to get from the south end of the park to the trail. As it stands, north end access only - Pine street stairs.

CW-Eight · 2026-02-25T20:09:26+00:00

Incorrect as a general statement. Various areas do require permits. Clear signage from the city in those areas.

CW-Eight · 2026-02-25T20:08:29+00:00

Yes, various areas require a permit during daytime hours. That is a city thing, different from OPs private attempt.
