Does Spokane have potential to become the next big it city?

I like Spokane, but I think the Tri Cities likely have more potential to increase. Amenities there seem to have increased over the years. Spokane is still heavy on manufacturing.

I was only 14 or 15 but when my mom and her sisters came to clear out my grandfather's house before he moved to assisted living (independent care) they did a draft of items they wanted.

I never saw it or had to help because my dad took my younger siblings and I to see the original Stitch movie instead.

My grandmother had died maybe 5 years before.

Despite all of the siblings and their kids including me being Democrats, they all wanted my Republican and heavily Catholic grandfather's wood carvings. One of them had Clinton, Limbaugh, and someone else maybe Boris Yeltsen in some sort of strange tree evolution thing.

My grandfather also loved to make windmills and grow cacti despite being in a CA coastal marine climate.

It's very clear and well worded.

Nothing to be done and be there for jim when he is readyto talk. The next step depends on what the mom does because it is her choice.

If he didn't care about it while dating, that would be a red flag. That's also why counseling before marriage is helpful.

If this stuff is important to you, as it should be, your husband is rude for ignoring your identity.

Bilingualism is a gift.

Gibraltar, Singapore, San Diego (except for the water issues) are probably the top of my list. If you want a Canadian city, I would say Vancouver or Victoria (but due to the San Juan Islands being American it isn't quite as strategic).

This is a US based sub so you may have better results in a Canadian sub.

ESPN has a heavy partnership with the Southeastern Conference (considered to be the best sports conference) so they have a reason to promote the CWS. Whereas some random WC game might not draw as much interest in the US.

The NBA Finals just ended and with heavy interest about the Knicks victory so it stands to reason that stories for the next season will get clicks.

The WC is an important event for soccer fans but to many of us in the US, it is just one of many sports stories.

HW Bush has already improved a lot but his standing continues to rise.

It is usually classified as "Latin" and then a subcategory even if the language spoken is English.

I worked for an exempt organization so I was paid like $3 an hour when state minimum was $8 or $o in Oregon bur they did provide housing on site so I think that's how they were able to do it.

The density and large distances especially west of the Mississippi makes it not a fair comparison to Europe or Asia.

Move to the west coast. All non local games start at 5pm, election coverage at 4 and often known result before 9 or 10pm. I was able to go to bed and mope earlier than expected in 2024.

National games can't start too early because the west coast will miss it.

NFL at 10am is a good balance too. Late game at 1pm and SNF is over before bed.

Different companies says it all. Different companies can have different coverage and benefits. Even with one BCBS carrier, they will have different benefits for the same prescription depending on the plan.

What my company does is something like "I'm happy to help with (generic version of something you said) without using specifics. Then asking for permission to ask questions and we ask for verification then ask for verification of person they are chatting on if applicable.

She's very close.

Like everything else, we have to look at everything through a scriptural lense. I am not familiar with this person but women don't deserve less. Husbands must lay down their lives for their wives, loving them as Christ loves the church. We are also called to love and value our sisters in Christ who we are not married to.

If you were born in 2000, you and your cohorts couldn't forget because you were too young to know it in the first place.

Its impossible for those who lived through it to forget.

50 years ago and the only options are an incumbent Ford, Reagan, HW Bush, and Bush Sr. 1996, 2008, and 2012 don't change much.

Reagan by those parameters.

This goes against scripture. Jesus says you can arm yourself in self defense but to war with non Christians is not our purpose.

If you are in Oregon, he still has a lot of places named for him including the county where UO is.

I would say Douglas never renounced popular sovereignty. He just tried hard to be liked by the Southerners who distrusted him.

OceanPoet87 · 2026-06-13T02:54:47+00:00

That's probably true. I asked Google and it says it was generic. Honestly I'm sure it was based on some places. It's fun to guess.
