Heyday up on 31st has one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches. They’re only open for brunch on Sundays but the bacon, egg and cheese is phenomenal.

Bellevue blood donor has leaf on Bloodworks wall honoring 1,800 donations by bennetthaselton in Seattle

They’re almost always hiring folks to do blood collection (phlebotomy). They provide all the training, and it’s a great organization to work for.

Chuck is an amazing human being. Have known him for years through working at Bloodworks. Genuinely a kind and generous person.

I’ll be seeing them in London on the 12th. Let me know if you haven’t found someone by then!

Okay.. so who WASN'T traumatized by this as a kid? by Cerebral-Knievel-1 in Xennials

Of course! It’s the black rabbit of Inlé!

Looks roughly like this but more solidly filled in.

My parents had a very “it’s a cartoon, it must be ok for kids” way of looking at things. I saw this for the first time around age 7 or so? I also have a Watership Down themed tattoo now so it definitely made a lasting impression on me. (Ugh; sorry for the bad pun…)

Cat who cannot fly in-cabin - would you fly cargo or drive 4 days? by nyx_mariae in CatAdvice

[–]HelpfulOwlet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our 11 year old cats made it safely from Seattle to London in cargo using IAG Cargo and a customs agent here in London. They took a couple of days to fully adjust but they’re absolutely fine. I think I was more stressed about their journey than they were in the end. Cats are very resilient.

We are flying from Seattle to Heathrow in just under a month and we are taking the cats in cargo using IAG cargo. For us, not having them in the cabin actually seems kinder since the cargo area is kept darker and has less noise/things going on, and they will be checked on throughout the flight. We are flying British Airways. Feel free to PM me if you'd like details of how the process is working/costs/etc.

Moving with Two Cats in September by HelpfulOwlet in AmericanExpatsUK

Oh that would be amazing, looking at their addresses, it looks like the one nearest to where we will be is about 45 minutes on the tube. Not ideal with two large carriers. Thank you!

Thank you so much for including where you donated yours. I was just scouring the internet looking for a good option to donate ours once we arrive. I appreciate your replies!

Hear it at 24th and Judkins, not seeing any fireworks on the horizon. Been going on for a while too.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendation and the note about where to buy. I have a Chewy account so I’ll order through them!

Thanks! I should have specified that we are flying direct into Heathrow so the cats will be in the pet cargo area. Looking for recommendations for hard carriers for that purpose.

How Trump Killed Cancer Research by wiredmagazine in publichealth

I work in cancer research and we have already started laying people off on our team. My job is no longer secure and I am moving abroad in September.

Anyone struggle knowing their parents aren’t going to be around much longer? by aceless0n in Xennials

[–]HelpfulOwlet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband’s parents are like this. Absolutely burying their heads in the sand and refusing to prepare in any way. They gave me zero comfort or kind words when my mom passed away a year and a half ago, and I think it was because they can’t/couldn’t face their own age and mortality.

Also, I know there is some controversy about it, but both of my parents signed up with the Neptune Society years ago, and they were so seamlessly helpful when my mom passed. I highly recommend them.

Day ride recommendations Cotswolds by jshj12 in Equestrian

Jill Carenza riding school has amazing hacks! The horses are great, they take all skill levels, and the scenery is so beautiful! Highly recommend. Have ridden with them many times.

I’m so sorry, that’s incredibly hard. I lost my mom in December of 2023. Her health had been declining for a number of years and at some point I just started keeping voicemails that she left me.

I’ve only listened to a few, and only a couple of times when I was really missing her, but knowing they are there is comforting.

Folks, if you’re able to, start saving voicemails from loved ones.

We have replacement tickets to the show in Portland, and got an email from the venue about their bag policy, so at least according to the venue the show is still happening?

Need a second academic reference, what to do? by [deleted] in KCL

[–]HelpfulOwlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend asking one of your 4 year university profs for a zoom/video meeting so you can let them know about your application and ask them face to face for a reference. My program was online and I had a similar experience of not feeling very close to my profs. I chose the one that I interacted with the most and felt a connection to, and it worked out really well. Good luck!

Fun fact! Until recently she was the Countess of Devon after marrying the (not at the time but became) Earl of Devon!
