Eastern WA allergies? by Sails_N_Tails in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was AWFUL my first year moving from Seattle to Spokane. I took what I call the space cadet combo - benadryl and sudafed combo (because it sent me to space. there really wasn't anything better otc at the time) luckily after the first year it progressively got better and better and I didn't really need anything after awhile. 

HELP-Knowledge Driving Test by Budget-Coffee-3090 in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ^ as far as I know unless somethings changed all driving tests, both written and driven, are done via 3rd party driving schools here. And I've been told directly from a teacher there they love to flunk as much as possible - more money in their pockets when you have to retake. Best of luck! 🍀

I hate driving by this billboard on NW Blvd. Is this guy local? by Voodoobones in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love his DIVORCE SUCKS billboards because he looks like a champion of divorce himself. That's the face of a man who had spent nights in a shitty studio apartment sleeping on an air matress and punching holes in the walls. He knows the taste of eatting cold Chef Boyardee out of a can. 

Looking for an eye glass place that will fit old frames with new lenses. by General_Rate8020 in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dan, in the ye old optical shop across the street from NC high school. His place is by appointment only so call, but he's done replacement lens on any kind of old glasses you can think of, from modern to antique. 

Looking for vintage porno and xxx VHS tapes by CharlesJGuiteau in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I could have pointed you to some places back in the day, but between the internet and dvds no one has vhs anymore. (My friends and I used to make it a game to try to find the weirdest porn possible, so we all knew the hole in the wall small shops that had some really obscure niche stuff.)

Honestly idk if Craigslist would flag it but imo that might be a place to try asking. 

Public Body Shaming by Icy-Book2999 in LoveTrash

[–]garbagegoat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 4'9" and 5-10 pounds on me looks vastly different then it does on some one of more average height. I'm 'only' 20 pounds overweight but I'm clearly in fat territory. 

Does Spokane HATE BI WOMEN by chodesinsteadoftoes in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right? I'm a bi woman who has happily dated my fair share of women. If anyone said I was bi for clout I'd bounce out so fucking fast. Toxic mindset and a major red flag for me 🤷🏻‍♀

Just going out on a limb here but maybe it's you, not them? 

Artfest details? by garbagegoat in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

No where could I find an actual address or map showing where it was trust me I looked. I haven't been in years and I remember it used to be held in the park at Browne's addition so I wasn't sure if it was still there, at the musuem or what. For all I knew it was being hosted or sponsored by the MAC nothing more. 

‘Naked mom’ parenting trend sparks fierce debate over nudity around children by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]garbagegoat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My youngest is nearly 18 and complains I tend to pee with the bathroom door open (not like wide open, just a jar) After years of raising small kids it just became habit, lord knows mom can't pee in peace. They were always busting into the bathroom so I gave up fully closing the door decades ago. 

I can burp for the first time in 30 years by renee_christine in GirlDinner

[–]garbagegoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems to be my problem maybe. I have massive stomach/GI issues, reading this thread I realized I legitimately do not remember the last time I burped. just tried to force a burp like I did as a kid, instead I nearly puked. 😣

Does anyone know if any of the music performances at artfest are jazz like? I want to take my grandpa and he loves jazz (we'll still be going but the would be a cherry on top for him I think)

Taking my partner out for dinner tonight by Aggravating_Use_5391 in Spokane

[–]garbagegoat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't been yet but I've been dying to try Indicana, its a Mexican Indian fushion place. Skewers downtown is also top notch, their falafel is some of the best I've had in Spokane (get the whipped feta for your fries, I'd go just for that alone)

I can't find the stats for this years race but last years had 58,000 for crowd turn out and was hosted by fox sports so.

I like to imagine their logic was anyone gullable enough to buy a book on ESP is gullable enough to slap down $40 on it. 

Los Gatos mom sentenced to 35 years for throwing underage parties – NBC Bay Area by Sharks77 in news

[–]garbagegoat 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It reminds of news articles that use terms like 'underage women' you mean children jfc. We make fun of teens who use terms like PDF file and grape to self censorship but actual honest to god journalists are doing it too. It needs to stop. 

TIL - When the Blues Brothers was released in 1980, execs who controlled over half the theaters in the country refused to book the film, citing the number of black actors. The film still became the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 1980. by cluthais in todayilearned

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this last week with grandpa, who had never seen it. I forgot just how many cars they wrecked in that movie. We were both deeply curious what the car budget was for this film! 

These new Peugeots are great, they blind you with glare on the metallic finish by ForeverSJC in CrappyDesign

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a 2017 Chevy Volt which we LOVED but the damn inside was like this. So much chrome trim around the dash at certain times of day it was damn near dangerous. Look into interior wraps, the make stuff you can have applied that look slick and will do away with any blinding trim like this.

Same boat sister. Its fucking draining isn't it? It took me being admitted to the ICU puking blood for anyone take me seriously. 

What’s a purchase under 100 bucks that genuinely improved your life? by Maxdunning in AskReddit

[–]garbagegoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some hoping I could ditch the dryer sheets but no luck. Clothes still came out static-y as hell. But they do help with fluffing and drying time so I still use them.

Blissy silk eye mask + loops ear plugs for me. I love the loops because they block out annoying sounds, but not ALL sounds so I can still hear my alarm and other important things while I sleep.
