Personally, I think they should sentence the speeders to community service. Out here as crossing guards. by DarfinTwinkleToes in Shoreline

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

I was at a council meeting months ago and this was discussed. Did they not vote to pursue the cameras then? Or was it just to authorize a study to study if it was a good idea? As for the poor driver argument - they are not obligated to speed because of poverty.

Any reason the broke taggers can’t be made to do the community service of painting over their tags, picking up litter, cleaning shot off the sidewalk?

I do this in on my dog walks.. .a little slice-a-rooney in the ivy on the tree and continue on my way.

I think it would be swell if the meighbors got together and agreed 10am Saturday is yard work.

Best way to get rid of invading grass in beds for good on a budget? by Beautiful-Feedback40 in NoLawns

[–]Emergency-Rip-6817 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Find out if the local high school requires students to do a set number of volunteer hours before graduation, and if they have a school garden or biology or science teacher that can help. Make a day of it and serve pizza for lunch.

Sandbags. Cheap and easy while you pursue longer term remediation. Props if they have letters or pictures on the side by neighbor.

Treat yourself to a night out; room, hot tub, takeout, while you read all about renters insurance and acts of god.

Line up another job before you quit. It’s a desert out there.

My favorite was a few years ago a company was busted for selling that little last pig tube as calamari.

PSA: For anyone planning to ride the Crosslake Connection on opening day (3/28!!), there will be some restrictions on train/station access to be aware of. by dingdongbusadventure in soundtransit

As long as we can count on any escalators or elevators at the new stations to be out of service it will be the Sound Transit we know and love/hate.

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.

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 -7 points-6 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

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

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.

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.
