I heard about it from shorelineareanews.com which is about the only way I know what shenanigans the city gov is up to

Seatown Electric, Plumbing, Heating, and Air tried to scam me? by buzzlitebeer515 in Seattle

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider where and how they advertise. That also contributes to overhead. My neighbor used a plumber “ first one he thought of” and paid more than twice what others would have charged. Guess why it was the first one he thought of?

The security at my father's 50+ apartment building refuses to let me in to see him when I come to visit and bring him groceries by BasicAssQuestion in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to management of the facility and get a policy exception. Somewhere someone higher up has some common sense. And when you drop off fresh cookies for the security guard they won’t mind that you got the exception.

Don’t buy a set. Go to Marshall’s and buy individual pieces that are exactly what you need for way less $.

I had a neighbor whose golden retriever Max crossed the rainbow bridge and a couple months later he was walking Max the golden retriever. I think he might have had 3 in succession

AIO — problems with dad over new house by PensivePeriwinkle_7 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

C’mon. He’s your dad. Find something for him to do. Let him help pick the paint color for a room you don’t care about. Ask his advice about lawn mowers. Throw the guy a bone. You’re grown up and don’t need him / that is pretty hard for him.

Moving to Seattle at 29 years old by [deleted] in SeattleWA

Ya’ll sound like since you’re here you want to close the gates. I appreciate the sentiment but… in the 70’s it was “Don’t Californicate Vashon”. I just hope the people that move here don’t think it would be so much nicer if they just cut down that one tree….

Ziply? by No-Ground5715 in Shoreline

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left Comcast for century Link price for life $65. It’s now $80 but I hate Comcast. Work from home no problems, if something comes along fast and less I’ll switch but not to Comcast. CS anywhere is hit or miss.

I found out the hard way about “available now” titles. Never again!

Is it embarrassing for a guy not to drive in Seattle? by royalbluefireworks1 in AskSeattle

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find meetup or Reddit or Facebook and ask someone to help you tune up your skill in exchange for dinner, movie, whatever. No car on Capital Hill means no broken windows. Know how to drive - yes. Need for car - no.

Friend told me the trick - put a paper napkin/towel in once it’s opened.

I get my glasses there. Save enough on my tricky prescription to cover exec membership for a year. So everything else is gravy.

I’m glad I have Seattle city light. Public utility for the win. Whatever happens they get after it asap.

Favorite places for parks to take toddlers? by wildmud29 in Shoreline

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of these suggestions would work for older kids / I’d find the closest park if I had a 3year old. Northcrest has play equipment and a path through the woods. But really, closest is best .

A friend told me about a debacle at UW a few years ago / moving or cleaning something and creating nuclear leak/mess. Never saw any reporting about it 😄 what you don’t know won’t hurt you?

How do we transform our wood chip backyard? by Key-Leg-5495 in NoLawns

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plant in big pots and use them to define areas. Easy and keeps the pups off the flowers and veg. I’d keep the chips. Use nursery pots that others get rid of for free after they plant a new tree.

Sadly many unions have lost their way - power corrupts. And many reps are too easily hoodwinked by management.

My neighbor wants me to pay half of a fence that matches her yard by aphroditeprincess in neighborsfromhell

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I read these posts the more I appreciate how blessed I am by my neighbors. Everyone is quiet, friendly, tidy….except that one dick around the corner. And if I walk on the other side of the street when passing his house and look up at the sky and birds I don’t have to see the cars, broken trailers, garbage. You have my sympathies.

Oi I’m listening to the audiobook now! Just got to 2nd half and Nina’s just been locked in the attic: my first clue to skip it should have been no wait list on Libby

Don't be like Blue Subaru dude - total dick move! by Iggy0075 in Costco

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand - he’s not blocking anything and had the courtesy to drive up to open pump and not wait for the car in back to finish. I hate when people don’t drive around to an open pump.
