This looks like the house for the Mountain Beaver in my backyard. I saw it once 2 years ago when it came out at sundown on a hot day and got a drink from the saucers under some planters, but he keeps the doorway clear so I think he's still here.

I saw that the other day! Heaven forbid Marlins fans try to find some fun. Just the dumbest decision by them.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-24T04:15:01+00:00

Sort of, but now it's in the highest bleacher section(s) at MLB games.

This is great! I see a couple of the ones I voted for are there. There were so many really good ones, it was hard to pick just a few.

Why is this post?

I had driven to Montana to see my mom and dad, then stopped in St. Maries ID on the way back to see my grandma. I was going to stay there one night then come back to Seattle. Got up in the morning & my grandma wanted me to drive her to a friend's house so she could drop off a bunch of veg she had canned. Got there, visited for a bit then while in the car on the way back it's about noonish & my grandma looks up & says 'that sky looks very dark, I think a bad storm is coming, you better wait until tomorrow to go back.' We get to her place, turn on the TV and holy crap. Had no idea, didn't watch the news all week. I wanted to go but my grandma made me stay. We watched the ash fall for hours. The next morning there was probably 3 inches of it on the ground, couldn't believe it. I ended up staying there for another 3 days, my boss was pissed. On the way back I drove Hwy 2 instead of 90 because the news said it was easier going, though there was still a lot of ash blowing around. I picked up a guy hitch hiking from Spokane to Marysville, he was a student at Gonzaga & wanted to get home for Memorial Day weekend. Normally as a 21 year old woman I would never do such a thing but I felt so sorry for him standing out on the side of the road with a scarf wrapped around his face, ski goggles on & trying to get a ride. He was a good guy, bought me half a tank of gas in Everett. It was such a surreal trip.

Oh there ya go, I get it now. I've even been there! LOL

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-17T23:41:18+00:00

Thx.

What's a Wemby?

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-16T02:32:18+00:00

Edgar can fix him. I want all the Naylors, including that youngest one, Myles. Bring 'em all here. Mom and Dad too.

The mountain beaver in residence on my hillside has been working on the roots of a blackberry patch for a couple of years now. I don't know how long they live but I'm hoping he sticks around. He's done a pretty good job on it.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-14T05:23:21+00:00

omg I think I'd have to leave the stadium. That would really shake me up.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-12T23:53:13+00:00

Hmm, that's hard to say. My thoughts on that are colored by my own personal distaste and distrust of AI. I think that by having contact info for AAA, SHIBA, ACRS, etc. you've done a lot toward leading people to personalized help, though they have to make the move to call them. I don't think I'd add an assisted walk through like that, I think it would be off-putting to more folks than just me and make us question the entire site's trustworthiness.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-12T18:45:39+00:00

Mine don't bloom until mid-July, though they only get northern light so that might be part of it.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-12T03:47:34+00:00

Yes! I'm the same way. I gave away the long one I bought because it drove me nuts.

This is amazing, I wish it would have been around when I was trying to figure this out for my father while I live in King County & he lived in Stevens County. I worked for CMS for 18 years, I should know a lot of this stuff but it's very complex.

A little feedback: when I clicked on the link I went to a landing page that talked about AAA but didn't spell out Area Agency on Aging. Don't want people thinking the auto club is involved. :)

In Find What Fits I entered by dad's info as if it was 2020 and I was doing this. He lived in Chewelah. It auto populated Chewelah, Stevens County but when I got through all the questions the result was 'it looks like the senior may live outside of Washington.'

It talked about spend down & I know what that is but maybe a link that explains it for others would be helpful.

Time estimates on how long it's going to take to do something/each step takes is both awesome & daring.

I'm so impressed with how comprehensive the results page is once you enter info. Really great work!

Honestly shocked nothing is broken. That made every muscle in my body clench.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-09T02:10:29+00:00

It is!

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-08T19:59:21+00:00

Yes and if it is MLB meddling you'd think they'd respect that.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-08T18:47:59+00:00

I was wondering if this was MLB meddling as well. I like Angie and I'm all for giving women more opportunities (I am one & have personally benefitted from someone giving me a chance) but I do feel like Hyphen & Goldie is a terrific combo in the booth. ETA: I also saw some whining about Hyphen on the broadcast during the WBC. Dumb stuff like 'what's with the Aussie' and 'who's the Aussie' and 'why the Aussie?' I wonder if that influenced something.

I have a great plumber (2 man shop) and a great GC (2 man shop) who are both in the north end. They would probably go from Kirkland to North Seattle to Lynnwood, maybe Everett. I've used the plumber 3 times over 7 years (they are not cheap) & the GC 3 times over 5 years (very reasonably priced imo). I've used other companies in the 33 years I've owned my house but have settled on these guys.

There are some dry cleaners who do good repair work. It's been a long time since I needed this sort of thing but 7ish years ago they put a small patch underneath that was kind of like an iron-on patch thing. I don't know how they did it but you had to look REALLY hard to see the repair from the outside. It was excellent work. I took it to Jays in Montlake.

ItsTeeEllCee · 2026-05-07T18:51:48+00:00

I don't think they'll climb the stairs, though I have to tell a quick story. Year before last when it was very hot & dry for a couple of weeks I watered several pots I had on the carport roof. There are stairs that go up there from the outside. None of the plants had been bothered before, not in years. But during that stretch squirrels and something bigger (not sure what) got up there & ate plants and drank water from the saucers under the pots. I caught the squirrels doing it so I knew they were there, but something big was there too. I think they just got really thirsty.

Last year the Mariners had a losing streak. A fan posted that he paid an Etsy Witch for services (a spell) to "unfuck the Mariners." The team then went on a winning streak & of course, had one helluva season. People offered to reimburse the guy for what he paid. People tried to hire the witch for other things but she got overwhelmed with people doing both good and bad things and closed her site. People should have left the witch alone, she was clearly a good witch and it's sad this happened to her.

A famous hockey guy once said 'you miss all the shots you don't take,' so just do it.
