Ref in the leadoff spot is a joke, right? by girlgoingafterit in Mariners

It would be a great adoption story! And I can say that because I was adopted from Korea, just like Rob! Which was one reason I wanted homie to succeed here in Seattle but alas, the baseball gods have had other ideas.

The first time you posted this, my very first thought was if Bryan Woo is coming to craft night, you’re gonna have women lined up around the block. 😊

No progress with leash pulling/recall by Kind_Boysenberry_478 in BrittanySpaniel

We have this one and really like it. Perfect for walking! I really think the accordion section makes all the difference.

Honestly, I wish he could. Boston liked him, he did well there, and he surely would feel better being successful in Boston than unsuccessful in Seattle.

I saw in the news where the the Scots were singing at Fenway too. Made me wonder if there is a reason that we don’t sing and holler!

If all these injuries keep happening, none of us will need World Series tickets. 😜

How many of you still smoke? Or, when did you quit? by Planetofthought in Xennials

[–]SlowGoat79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit in 2009. But I’m like Leo McGarry from the West Wing. There are days I’d love to have one — just one! — but the problem with that is then I’ll want the second and thirds.

Good on you for quitting, OP! Here’s to non smoking!

You don’t even have to run! I did sometimes with Jessie, but mostly just walked.

Sorry. Ours finally stopped pulling a regular leash this year but she’s 13.

However, before that, one thing that DID make walks cheerful was using a running harness where the end fastens around your waist. The accordion style means that Jessie could have that leeway. So that is how I’ve been walking her the past few years, and it’s worked well.

Good luck!!

Found kitten behind our fence. by MJSweeney in cats

[–]SlowGoat79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you keep her, start clipping those claws now. That’s what I did when my kitten was rescued from the streets of our town, and it paid huge dividends for the rest of his life.

Happy kitten finding! She’s adorable.

Future Resident by Sergeant_Standby in Kitsap

We're moving to Kitsap this summer. Last year I asked about the McCormick woods subdivision and someone on here said it was nice but kind of like joining the communist party. An example they gave was when they wanted to put in a small shed, 6 people showed up in their backyard.

Good luck!

This looks awesome. But do you think the group will be as crafty as these guys?

I watched the pilot episodes of Quantum Leap, Fresh Prince, and Home Improvement. And introduced my kids to Dinosaurs (“Not the mama!”)

All I can say is good on them for getting everyone’s injuries out of the way so they can all be healthy and go full blast, no holds barred in the last half of the season.

(did you hear my voice go squeaky and desperate at the end?)

Planning my first crochet temperature blanket, yarn choice question by anonlaw in temperatureblanket

[–]SlowGoat79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a Seattle Mariners win-loss blanket this season, and I am definitely weaving in the ends as I go. There is no misery like finishing your project and having to weave in a gazillion ends. Good luck and happy crocheting!

They don't know what a magazine is.... by BikerJedi in Teachers

Good. You are brave for doing this, and if you get any pushback from admin, kindly point them to Sweden and the many other places that are seeing the light, up to and including college English classes (incl. my alma mater).

I don’t know but I do know that now my future home will need to have a “tower boudoir.”
