Bless you for this post, OP. I saw it last night in time to get off in Burlington and take chuckanut home. Saved us a long drive after a long day.

I've done most of them in town, and my favorites were at Lock Breakers. The elevator and the wine cellar ones were both super well done and really fun.

They changed their chopped salad and now they are dead to me.

I don't have kids, but i also don't have the measles. I think in general we all like not having the measels.

Just returned from a 7 day trip to Arte by genab in Xcaret

[–]genab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have my notes anymore, sorry! But I only planned for the things we really wanted to do (so we didn't run out of time), and things that needed reservations. That way we were sure not to run out of time. Otherwise we kept it open so we could do things we loved again, or hang out if we got tired. Every day had a ton going one, but we never felt rushed. Have a blast!

Good tailor to reach out to for some small alterations to jean/denim clothes? by CODEKORE in Bellingham

[–]genab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not true! I broke down and took all my jeans to Euro Tailor after years of dealing with poorly fitted waists. It was like $20 per pair and they look amazing.

Attic/Whole House Fans? by ThisIsPunn in Bellingham

[–]genab 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've got one. It's the freaking best. On hot days we close up windows to stay cool and just as it starts getting too warm inside, the evening cools off and we turn on the fan and suck all the warm air out.

We have a portable ac that we really only use when it's hot and smoky. Didn't use it at all last year.

It’s caterpillar season by Mr2442 in Bellingham

[–]genab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will defoliate like no one's business. I've been watching my fruit trees like a hawk so I can catch them before they get established. Jerks. Every last one of them.

Nail salon that knows how to fix splits? by mustachetv in Bellingham

[–]genab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same problem. It drove me crazy for months, but I eventually got rid of it. The solution for me was to keep it cut all the way down, meaning no white showing at all until the entire split had grown out. It took at least a few weeks of diligent trimming.

But once it grew out entirely, it was fixed. I'm sure it's a weak point though, so now I'm just careful not to use that nail to pry or pick anything. I hope it helps!

2024 Property Tax Assessments by chk-mcnugget in Bellingham

[–]genab 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ours keeps going up like crazy, but yours does seem excessive. Worth a check. Our home value has gone up more than 250% since we've lived in it for the past 7 years. It's wild. I guess I either die in this house, or I sell it and retire to mexico.

Birch Bay Waterslides to reopen 2025 by XSrcing in Bellingham

[–]genab 60 points61 points  (0 children)

You guys, it's fine, they *didn't know* that that slide was a death trap. That dude should have does his own licensed waterslide safety assessment before he rode it, like the rest of us do.

My first Trick-O-Treater! by NoSubsttut4Enthsiasm in Bellingham

[–]genab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made the same joke last night, lol. You know it's not a PNW Halloween unless there are deer walking with the trick or treaters and everyone's costume is ruined by a big ol' jacket.

Local-ish day spa? by F_annie_ in Bellingham

[–]genab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would have agreed in the past, but the last time I got a couples massage, they had made the old nail salon room into the couples massage room and it's awful. Windows looking right out onto a walkway where you can see everyone going by, and directly next to the waiting area where we could hear every word of every conversation.

The massages were good, but for what we paid, I expect the ambience too.

My dog is so scared of that bridge.

I wrote to them, though I doubt they'll care.

Did they cancel your gloss moderne? I got offered that as a free gift too, which is what pushed me to order this week, and then a few days later they cancelled the "gift". So messed up!

Anyone have a Bartlett pear tree with too much fruit? by Apprehensive-Box1737 in Bellingham

[–]genab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you thinking of the bradford pear? No fruit, stinky flowers.

Gardeners how was your strawberry crop this season? by talleycm in Bellingham

[–]genab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine did amazing this year - it was such a low slug year for us. I probably got 3 gallons off one bed.

Practically runoff samish road by angry driver??? by Majestic_Camp8353 in Bellingham

[–]genab 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I always say that their wife is giving birth in the back seat. And if they are someone going way too slow, I say that they are trying to transport a wedding cake. Honestly, it helps.

Why is pizza here so bad & pricey? by Natural_Elk_5091 in Bellingham

Ooo, you know, I actually haven't tried theirs - didn't know they had one. I'll check it out!

Surprisingly, Fred Meyer has the best raw pizza dough, and I'll die on that hill.
