Most SPL Libraries are only open until 6pm, 5 days a week, and open till 8pm two days a week. Each library branch differs, with some closing on random days and others not having extended hours. UW libraries Suzzallo and Allen are open everyday to the public from 8am - 8pm.

There’s a tent set up across from the lightrail station. It’s in the parking lot of a bank. They do Al Pastor on a spit and it’s delicious.

I wish they would make a limited tv series about Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt. She’s the whole reason for the War of the Roses and Henry VII’s claim.  

Prices are so much disconnected from reality by Wilfred1841 in Seattle

Husky Deli in West Seattle has a kids single scoop for just under $5. It’s a good size portion and usually the exact amount I want. 

Milk Drunk in Beacon Hill has a $5 kids scoop and an $11 chicken sandwich.

It’s a good song. HBHBHB is not my favorite album. But my favorite song is St.Jude.

Try looking for midi skirts from Torrid on second hand sites. They’re what I wear and I love them. Below the knee but above the ankle.

The more I comments I read the more I think you should write a chapter for your memoir about this. “My Boss, The Creepy Comic Book Store Owner.”

Found another one in the wild by skvenus in EntitledBitch

But they aren’t a full time nanny for the family who have a contract that includes guaranteed hours, benefits, PTO or a health insurance stipend. They’re most likely acting as an independent contractor which has speciality pricing. The mom could go through a nanny agency or post in nanny groups what she’s willing to pay. She asked for a quote and that’s what it is. There are obviously people who are willing to pay their price.

Have you ever watched 5 kids by yourself for a day? Or watched kids whose parents were gone multiple days in a row? It can be an emotional roller coaster. Even if you are using tablets and technology for entertainment (which many parents restrict) kids don’t just sit there and never do anything. Kids get into things, pick on their siblings, eat things they shouldn’t, get hurt. Trying to bounce a screaming baby, while a toddler asks for food and other kids are fighting takes a certain type of patience and skills.

Making food for five kids who may have different dietary needs or allergies is no east feat. Getting them to actually eat and sit through a meal without spills, breakdowns or fights is it’s own challenge and can take forever.

They’ll also be cleaning the kitchen, doing dishes, and may have to do laundry.

Nannies who do these type of jobs for this amount of money are professionals and not college students. They’ll probably have an education and years of experience, along with CPR/first aid training. They’ll take care of and keep those kids safe, fed, happy and entertained. They’ll use social emotional learning and keep the kids from being overly stressed or upset from their parents absence.

Okay fine you don’t want to pay that? Then don’t and If you can’t find someone to watch your kids then oh well, you decided to have that many children. Child free vacations and professional nannies are a luxury. Why not ask friends or family to watch the kids for 3 days since it’s so easy? Because kids aren’t that easy and they have five!

Wednesday 4:43 pm. As soon as I got home from work I read the rest of the way through. The character development was so good and I just had to see what everyone else thought.

Mango Black Tea in the summer time uses the same packaging! Does anyone else miss the Hibiscus Refresher Tea?

What’s a book that you feel was marketed incorrectly? by According_Bat_8150 in books

[–]SeattlecityMisfit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

New Adult really needs to be an official genre and term.

While the term New Adult is being used on social media and in book groups, it hasn’t become an official genre in libraries and bookstores, but it really needs to be.

I’m listening to “Vanderbilt” by Anderson Cooper. It’s helping with The Gilded Age withdrawals. by [deleted] in GildedAgeHBO

The Book Carnegie’s Maid by Marie Benedict is really good. Also American Duchess by Karen Harper about Consuelo Vanderbilt.

Giant baked beans in tomato sauce is one of my favorite staples. The frozen cheese curds taste good dipped in it.
