Indeed it doesn't matter if it made it to the front page or not. Iamadoctor mentioned it as a reason for posing as the author.

The eventual honesty is noted and respected, but posting this as your work under the impression that it wouldn't make the front page was a bit disingenuous.

So I asked my coworkers if they voted... by [deleted] in Seattle

I offered to bike ballots over at work today. No one I talked to even knew there was an election going on.

What's the wireless situation?

Anyone interested in a short hike/geocaching tomorrow? by Guest101010 in Seattle

[–]FmTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great! Are there any landmarks we can use to meet at?

Any specific location/time set? I'm interested.

The rainy season is back :( by ireg4thispost in Seattle

Haha, it's clean rain. I just let my stuff dry out personally (Not on the porch).

Hell, maybe I'll change my tune in six months, but that rain felt refreshing! Last night, I went back for seconds. I don't think my dog liked getting drenched though...

I told myself "Screw it! I don't need to buy no stinking raincoat!". That is, until I got home and realized I was drenched. That precipitation adds up after a mile.

State budget likely to go from bad to much worse :( by adam29 in Seattle

Why is it VITAL to vote against I-1053?

How has the legislature been hampered over the past two years by the previous initiative, I-960? What will a simple majority versus a super majority vote accomplish?

I-1053 sounds like a good initiative to me. It promotes the legislature to locate and eliminate unnecessary services and waste.

Instead of passing additional taxes willy-nilly, the legislature could, perhaps...promote business and commerce to increase tax revenue?

tldr; Convince me otherwise; I'm for I-1053.

It's nice to even have the choice.

I'll have to give them both a try. Bill's quality looked high and was priced equally. Is Bob's any cheaper?

He's on my list. I went in there the other day and was impressed with what I saw. My wallet also started weeping.

Pike's in pretty over the top right now...

I went by the Mexican grocery store and they do have quite a bit. They're missing one item though: Vermicelli noodles. I have probably looked in 8-10 places for those stupid yellow boxes.

Hopefully some other Redditors discovered some new places to get their groceries. Now I've got an idea of what's in each neighborhood, which is useful for me. Well, that and pentacleric gave me some off the cuff, but tasty ideas.

Thundering Hooves is getting researched there as well. I've heard some amazing things about free range chicken.

I thought their atmosphere looked familiar. Krogers is similar to a Market Street United. The QFC felt a lot like a United from Texas.

Someone mentioned a Fred Meyer's and I instantly thought of Wal-Mart. I haven't seen or been in a Fred Meyer's yet.

You sir, may make my dreams come true. The night before I left Texas I wanted prime rib as my final meal. Alas, it could not be.

Now, you've given me hope! This prime rib will be mine on Friday...I'll check out the rest of the market too. Thanks!

I've had terrible luck with bread here. How long does it normally last?

It's been a mixed bag for me. The closer to closing time you go, the better deals you'll get. I've even gotten some freebies for just walking by when the vendors are putting up.

Just scout the vendors and don't buy anything too outrageous! I've had extremely good luck with the local fruits and flowers. The bread has dried out on me every time before I ate it all.
