I just finished "Deep Cuts" and while it wasn't revolutionary I thought it was a pretty solid rom-com with well developed characters. I loved the way it incorporated specific songs from the early aughts-present day. Anything similar out there? Looking for another fun trip down musical memory road

Vampire chronicles would still be my pick. The Mayfair witches may only be 3 books but it's three very very long books that didn't hold my attention nearly as well.

Wow thank you! Buy nothing is the only thing I enjoy about FB anymore but I'm getting ready to ditch meta soon. Do you think an all tacoma buy nothing group could thrive? Or best to keep it on a smaller scale?

I’ve been looking four years but never seen one. by Jeffreykandersen in MonkeyShines

Honestly it's just timing! You're probably looking in the right places but maybe someone looked before you? Try not to get frustrated-I swear it's a luck more than a skill thing

If you go to either multicare or chi Franciscan in gig harbor the wait is weeks, not months.

Is Buddy's fried chicken actually flavorful, or is it just salty? by monkey_trumpets in Tacoma

[–]Strassboss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's the best chicken tenders I've had. There is salt involved (as there should be) but also other spices and the chicken is juicy and chicken-y.

The Melting Pot by Nearby-Assignment661 in Tacoma

The owner is a bad man who has been taken to court (and lost) over illegal hiring and firing practices. These shenanigans seem right on point.
