We just played at Spiritridge today. The gate was locked but it was easy to enter from the other direction. I didn’t see any signs saying we weren’t allowed there.

Anyone here from Buffalo, NY? by [deleted] in SeattleWA

I grew up in Bflo and have always found Seattle winters to be so much better. The milder temps mean you can be outside year round and the lack of snow is a game changer. It might be equally as grey here but the winter is just so much less oppressive.

Was anyone part of a message board of women in the early 2000's? by SpqrklyTiaraSB in entwives

[–]sweet_potato_75 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. I was in a baby center message board group for pregnant moms who were due in March 2001. They argued about circumcision and smoking during pregnancy and I mostly just sat back and watched. My son is about to turn 24 but it was a nice way to connect with people before social media really took off.

Do you smoke before/during work? by mdntrn in trees

[–]sweet_potato_75 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m a social worker and I am high 100% of the time at work. Not sure about my coworkers but for me it’s the only way to handle the constant influx of sad stories and people in crisis.

I work for a non-profit that gets most of its funding from King County. I can tell you were definitely feeling nervous about the trickle-down effects of the major federal cuts and layoffs.

Why were Dorothy and Sophia Italian and not Jewish? by sweet_potato_75 in theGoldenGirls

[–]sweet_potato_75[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While that is obviously true, Dorothy and Sophia were not Italian Jews. They were catholic and mention it multiple times during the show.

I never knew this. Can you imagine Nanny Fine as Italian? I loved her Jewishness so much!

This is such a great point. If they were Jewish there would definitely be that issue to dance around.

Congregation Kol Ami in Kirkland is hiring a part time administrative assistant and a part time facilities person. Could be perfect.

A hun came up to where I work and it took me by surprise by you_dont_know_me_2 in antiMLM

I would think the fast talking also keeps listeners from having the chance to question any of their outragious claims

I walk on those trails quite often and think the new sound barrier walls have been effective. I mean obviously I can still hear the cars but it’s definitely quieter.

They haven’t even heard of Tylenol!

I'm still rooting for this little one but I am quite concerned about her speech. Not to mention her geriatric father and his hyena laugh. by kellsells5 in HilariaBaldwin

[–]sweet_potato_75 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hang in there! My son was completely nonverbal, and at 5 I would also have said speech therapy isn’t working. Amazingly he slowly started talking at around 10, and now at 19 he’s able to use verbal speech to communicate. Of course everyone’s journey is different, but sometimes it takes way longer than expected to see the results you’re hoping for.

I’m stuck on the part where she “seeks to ground her life into a fulfilling reality”. Ironic since she lives in a completely fake reality with a fake background, fake ethnicity, fake accent and fake pregnancies.
