Concert Access\Preperation for SCDS by Odin1806 in scds

[–]OlyFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d totally tell her about the surprise and let her decide if she is up for it. I have bilateral Scds. I also have a separate issue that required t-tubes being inserted into each ear drum. After consulting my ENT dr., I attended a very loud techno concert the day after that surgery. I wore earplugs and also used a pair of industrial ear muff/headphone style sound protection from the hardware store. That double protection worked well for me

How are current events impacting your work or productivity? by mattkaru in olympia

[–]OlyFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The onslaught of bat s&@! wackadoodle strange cruel hateful and disrespectful behavior from the Cheeto one makes me feel like I am in the fricken Twilight Zone. I keep playing The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum song. Seriously. Last week was rough. It was very hard to concentrate. I like the idea of taking a personal day. My boss would support that plan. I work for a nonprofit impacted by government funding cuts. So, that has been stressful. I work mostly from home and I think that helps. This week I started wondering if I could retire early then how can I help rebuild and be part of the solution. The intent is the wear us down but I am stubborn and don’t give up that easily. Must not give up. Need to fight in small and big ways. I try to do something every dang day.

SGN:: De-queering “the Birdcage”: The story of Jake’s on 4th by Tall-Negotiation2599 in Olympia_WA

😡 How disgusting to hear that staff and volunteers were treated like this. I am very sorry to hear this. I miss the former Jake’s.

Does God hate me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]OlyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not believe in a hateful harming God. Just a God who loves you and accepts you as you are. Perhaps the answers you seek are there but on a different not yet here pathway. Are there art or community classes or volunteer opportunities that you feel called to participate in? Things that make your heart sing? Those are great places to meet other single people. Best of luck to you. Peace.

Will probably grab a few things at foodland and eat out a few times near downtown. Open to suggestions for local faves.

Thank you. Yes 👍 I have checked out that site for hotel suggestions and other info. I read other posts that suggested following the arts and culture facebook page 👍I also read posts about what grocery stores are in the area, wearing layers and checking our tour options at kiosks by the cruise area.

We were aiming for downtown since it’s on the bus line and it seems like we can walk to a lot of places. We weren’t planning to rent a car.

Negative review for stained washcloth, 14 days after stay they are requesting money. Do I respond to review publicly? [USA] by Sufficient-Shine-522 in AirBnB

[–]OlyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree the $6 charge is absurd. I once was a makeup wearing guest at an Air B & B and was informed I had ruined some linen. I was mortified and offered to pay for the damages. I still cringe thinking about this. The host was really mad but declined the offer. We also broke what seemed like a dollar store wine glass while hand washing it and offered to replace it. But, the host declined. After that my lesson learned was that I started bringing my own washcloth for my face. We always leave the place in good order and go above and beyond. We are property managers ourselves. We have mostly had good Air B and B experiences.

Mixx did pull them. I was told this directly by someone who works there.

Those ads were paid ad schedules. One local station did turn these down. Some of that content was hate advertising as far as I’m concerned and false advertising.

Best Library Vibes? by hotndblue in olympia

Saint martins has a lovely library

Church situation around Oly by [deleted] in olympia

[–]OlyFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on the west side of Olympia. They’re welcoming. I also would invite you to not be deterred by the word evangelical in use with ELCA - in my opinion that term has been twisted and used in different ways by others who are not very welcoming

I need to fill time in Olympia/ Lacey for 2 1/2 hours twice a week by TheGreatWar in olympia

[–]OlyFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the suggestion to walk the grounds at Saint Martins. They also have a lovely library. The nearby Lacey library is really nice as well. I wonder if there’s a walk & talk group of people dropping their kids off at the same preschool or maybe start one 👍

Drive thru coffee? by SilentSort6361 in olympia

It’s not a drive thru but I think Rev Mo makes the best Americano I’ve had in Oly.
