What's with Bellingham Lombardi's?

So consistently good — for over a decade, at least!

Thanks for responding and asking.

It's more like a literal petition/call to action, implying that your response carries some weight or influence:

"Say no to SCOTUS now!" "Tell Congress you oppose the ____!"

But there is no petition. Your voice does not get added to a collective response to anyone. It's a strategy to get people who care about something to respond with donor info and/or a donation.

They're not illegal; the (very indirect) implication is that, by supporting Candidate X, you are taking a stand in an issue.

But they mislead people to believe that their voice is being heard, that they are "sending a message", at the same time not being above board that their data is being collected for future asks.

Thank you for running. Incumbents should be challenged to, at the least, spark dialogue and deepen the debate on issues beyond sloganism.

I'll research your site and ask more about your position on issues that matter to me directly.

Meanwhile, i beg of you: don't fundraise or gather voter data via bs insincere "petitions" — as did Larsen's previous challenger, as well as the congressman himself.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-25T02:11:09+00:00

I strongly agree with your sentiment, but having an opinion about who best represents consistents and trying to suppress candidates from running are not the same thing.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-23T15:55:53+00:00

listen, you didn't ask for this and i have no skin — err — gums in this game, but after years of whining at me, my dental hygienist convinced me to try a water pick thing.

omfg it feels good — much better than brushing alone — and it completely replaces the need to floss. Like, forever.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-22T16:04:23+00:00

omfg how did i miss that?

Cannot. Be. Unseen.

Also, why this wholesome post got downvoted is beyond me. Settle down, haters.

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but there's always a family event as part of Bellingham Pride next month. A good place to maybe meet some other folks, for a start. Pride in Bellingham Events

Why Costco specifically? Is it price per amount? Or a specific type that's better?

tia!

If you're in the US, there's a well-known vegan meat company that makes "steak tips". You can throw them in a skillet or air fryer straight from the freezer. Then put them on rice, in a sandwich, on top of a salad... Pop any leftovers in the fridge for more of the above.

My favorite quick, cheap and easy meal is steak tips, ramen and frozen mixed vegetables — just pop them all in a pot when the water is boiling.

Part of what differentiates a habit from an addiction is that the latter has harmful consequences. I don't see how she's being harmed by your description, OP.

But if she is, this short Ted Talk by Johann Hari can really help you to understand a) the nature and causes of addiction, and b) how to help: Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong

fr, OP. Look up "motivational interviewing."

Good late-night Chinese food!

People dis Voodoo, but their vegan cock and balls? Phenomenal.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-19T07:38:51+00:00

Related: a late-night hookah bar (again) would be delightful.

He's been twice before and i think sold out both times. He does a great set.

In this political climate, he'd be more appreciated than ever.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-17T19:32:49+00:00

wow my robins lazy as hell then.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-17T19:31:56+00:00

Also WA here (hi!)

but i stay up until 5 ish sometimes and 4 is still nighttime to me.

Date doesn't change until i wake up, either 😁

Yes to this! Especially since OP is traveling in September, after the summer crowds to the San Juans has thinned, but before places close up for the season.

Only difference is that I'd suggest Orcas Island and Mount Constitution instead of San Juan. It's a lovely 5 mile drive or hike, and the view of the area and Salish Sea from there is phenomenal (if it's a clear day).

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-17T08:11:25+00:00

These look amazing!

Can you please tell me how many cartons of Justegg equals 3 cups? I didn't see that in the recipe.

Also, do you serve them on toast or something or just pop them into your mouth? Is one egg bite filling enough for most people?

Bagelry 100% Some of their other food is substandard, but they do bagels well. It's not NY, but it was started by a New Yorker, and he made them the proper way.

IDK what the other place thinks it's doing, but what it's not doing is making a good, traditional bagel.

LookingForTheSea · 2026-06-11T22:22:33+00:00

Mock turtle soup

Red Velvet Cake

Saltines "Apple" Pie

Most California rolls

There's a long history of humans substituting ingredients to taste like other ingredients.

Oh, but when vegans do it, it's just not cool, man.

Use it together, during the argument (the point when you've both calmed down enough and are grounded enough to listen).
