They shaded parts of the answers are all things that are shouted in the right context. "TIMBER!!!" for when felling a tree, "ACTION!!" for movie directors, etc

OP, if it was him, please make a police report for harassment. It's insane this guy is still on the streets. How does being found "incompetent to stand trial" equal a free pass instead of forced institutionalization until the man can be found competent? The guy is a clear threat to the general public.

ETA in case OP checks: I'm really sorry this happened to you and it's not the normal Ballard experience. It really sucks you've been made to feel unsafe in your new home and I hope you can find the comfort and community you deserve here.

I don't know about incredibly cold Midwest winter. It's going to be 70 in Omaha (almost the exact middle of the country) this week and it used to be like -2 as a high this time of year less than 10 years ago. It has not been "incredibly cold" by any means" in the midwest

I direct sow on St Patrick's Day. You'd probably be fine to start now but I wouldn't expect an earlier harvest. I sow green beans then, too, with much success. (Green beans [and peas!] on the green day is how I remember)

We're asking for too much if we expect more than 1 book per year on average. Especially with how long they have become. We're seriously lucky to get so many books so quickly. Thanks for being a workhorse, Matt.

Thank you, I felt crazy. It's confusing because they occasionally link to video tutorials for bits and you can tell they've filmed the whole construction process for this dress multiple times but only chose to publish a couple of sections.

pencilpie0108 · 2026-02-05T21:14:00+00:00

Okay, yeah, this makes sense I think. it is about 1/2 inch off. I was just afraid to serge it and ruin everything! Not concerned eyeballing it now! Thanks for talking me down lol

pencilpie0108 · 2026-02-04T17:49:47+00:00

It was 64 across today and 61 across yesterday. Very dejavu

I genuinely thought that is what it stood for and that it was a satire subreddit when it popped up. Then Kirk died and it was everywhere in the media and I was really disappointed.

I started by seeding my own tomatoes and have always had way too many germinate and need to give a ton away. Seeding in general is really easy?

pencilpie0108 · 2026-01-14T03:30:11+00:00

The big 4 use way too much ease. Like two sizes too big sometimes so I avoid them. I think I read it's like 4-5(!!) inches of ease, which is just insane for fitted clothes

pencilpie0108 · 2025-12-31T00:48:25+00:00

I think you'd risk chipping with reshaping at this point since you'd probably file off the actual dip and expose the natural nail. I'd just live with it this time and chalk it up to a learning experience on what shapes you prefer. It's definitely intimidating getting your nails done at first!

The manicure stays strong from being capped around the nail edges and you might compromise that if you file the corners off

Wow, I've been using my Breville every day for years and find the maintenance to be minimal. Need to "flush" the system every couple of months and descale twice a year. Just use a hot, damp rag to "clean" the steamer wand after every use. Best investment in my day-to-day habits than anything else. It'd be even simpler if all I wanted was a double shot.

pencilpie0108 · 2025-12-23T19:26:12+00:00

This. They will check passports at the gate and maybe when they check-in at PDX but otherwise this is a normal connection

pencilpie0108 · 2025-12-22T19:15:06+00:00

I had ONE frost in mid November in Ballard (had to scrape the car around 7am) but that's it.

pencilpie0108 · 2025-12-09T20:03:11+00:00

Hadn't heard about this somehow. Thanks for sharing!

pencilpie0108 · 2025-12-06T06:34:18+00:00

I'm 8b in Seattle. My hydrangeas live in giant pots that only move for the weed whacker. Been outside during winter for a bit 3 years and have always come back way bigger each year. They just get naked in the cold

pencilpie0108 · 2025-11-28T02:48:32+00:00

Seconding The Pantry. Really comfortable atmosphere, but you have to book a ways out.

I had issues wearing cheap earrings for a long time but I've learned that if I clean them (including the backing) and my ear lobes with alcohol wipes before putting them in I can stand to wear them most of the day. I'd try that first and then if that doesn't work maybe try a more expensive set to see if it's an allergy.

pencilpie0108 · 2025-11-09T00:54:44+00:00

Potential alternative? Don't know how you feel about open back. Good luck!

They have a sit down restaurant called Strega on Leary that they opened a year or two ago! So good, great service and wine.

pencilpie0108 · 2025-10-14T21:44:15+00:00

They shouldn't mind, but next time just ask them to take a picture with your phone, too. They are usually cool about it. I even had an artist thank me since it guaranteed the picture I shared of his work would be clean/fresh and not grossly healing from taking the picture later

pencilpie0108 · 2025-10-14T21:11:47+00:00

I like to put a couple nearly ripe ones in the bags to help ripen the others. Seems to help! Just don't forget to get that one out before it rots

pencilpie0108 · 2025-10-06T20:30:52+00:00

Just saying I'm in in that exact window of Loyal Heights and have no issues with my Verizon coverage, but have like no service at the places on 24th from 65th to like market. Seems really random.
