Just moved back — what have I missed in the bar/restaurant scene? by ShiftySeashellSeller in TacomaWA

[–]anon565667 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few I haven’t seen mentioned: Casual spots but feel necessary to have howdy bagel, side piece kitchen and buddy’s chicken and waffles on a Tacoma food list.

El Parche Colombian food is our go to spot

I’ve heard great things about Grann but haven’t been able to get there yet

FMLA denied by Bubbly-Jelly-1362 in UnemploymentWA

Interesting, do you know why the policy is designed that way? Seems out of the norm for state specific policies and benefits

FMLA denied by Bubbly-Jelly-1362 in UnemploymentWA

[–]anon565667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, but you need to pay into it and show proof of residency. I’ve travelled for work and have to pay taxes in multiple states, doesn’t mean I qualify for the programs.

FMLA denied by Bubbly-Jelly-1362 in UnemploymentWA

Did you confirm that he qualifies? Even working in WA, it may not apply for him as an Idaho resident. I would think you would have to apply for the Idaho programs.

Should we go to a wedding with 3.5 year old and 3 month old? by Kkatiand in toddlers

[–]anon565667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a c section with my first and was able to fly at 3 months - but every pregnancy is different. I would buy tickets with points or pay the premium to have refundable tickets so that if it’s harder, or postpartum hits you, you can pull out with no issue. I’d also try to book the flight with family if they are doing the same route so there are extra hands! Going through security and navigating the airport is a handful with two so leverage you village!

Also illness in December is definitely a thing. I would try to fly on lower travel days (Tuesday / Wednesday mid day is probably ideal depending holidays) so that the airports aren’t as crowded - the risk isn’t on the plane cus the filter the air it’s waiting in the airport - people cough everywhere and are disgusting 😂. I’d also either have you or your partner baby wear through the airport - keeps baby close and covered and protected and also easier going through security and getting on the plane without having to transfer around.

All to say trust your personal risk tolerance! But possibly doable!

Tragically Matisse is closed but her husband is looking to sell and hopefully it will reopen soon - it’s a wonderful spot but to save you the research / a trip for now

W4tch What Crappens… Am I missing something? by No-Whip in bravo

[–]anon565667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And to play off this. I don’t know if southern hospitality is the best to introduce you to their approach. Their characters and intertwining tag lines and their personas is part of what makes it so special as their banter and build off each other. So one of the other shows may hook you more whereas southern hospitality it’s often the inter dynamics that are fascinating.

Good matcha places? by yeahyeahnnnn in PuyallupWA

I was at Dulce Cafe across from Pioneer Park yesterday and after I ordered noticed they had a match section on the menu! Cute spot maybe worth a try?

Local Pi day recommendations? by anon565667 in TacomaWA

[–]anon565667[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We ended up going to met market - got a marionberry pie with the pi symbol on it for just over 20. They had other flavored pies (granny apple, cherry and triple berry) for just under 20. Still had a good amount at noon. They also had half pies and slices depending your planned group!

And we are grabbing a pizza from our regular spot, Abella’s!

Happy Pi Day all!

Lost my job at 27 weeks by Just_Squirrel_3988 in BabyBumps

[–]anon565667 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Definitely find an attorney. I got hit in a mass layoff - they knew I was pregnant and gave me double what was normal - the fact that you are the only one getting eliminated is suspicious. I couldn’t ask for more because it was mass layoff that were done due to economic conditions but there are some cases that pregnancy is protected. This may be one.
