My birthday is that day so I'm beginning the morning with a good work out at the gym then to my daughter's for pumpkin pancakes. After that we will take the dog on a nice long walk, come back and work a puzzle while cooking stuffed acorn squash, brussel sprouts, stuffing and maybe a tasty birthday cakey. Spending the eve of Thanksgiving trying out the new veggie restaurant on Cap Hill called Plum.</p> <p>Once when I was 9 and my birthday fell on Thanksgiving that year my mother took me aside and said, "Now,plese don't tell anyone it is your birthday because we don't want to spoil the real meaning of thd day...thanks mom...</p> <p>I'm taking the whole week off to celebrate my SIXTY-SECOND year...how is that possible I still feel and sometimes act 18. Life's a mystery. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2660#post-23875 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:30:43 +0000 nannnerrr 23875@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I just watched the best documentary - about the Lost Boys of Sudan.

I still don't see The Wild Orchid in the Restaurants section. It's right behind Larsen's Bakery on 80th and 24th. </p> <p>Hands down the best Thai I have had in Ballard... or Seattle for that matter. Exceptional spicy food! Ever had a 4-5 star thai plate that was bland and mild? Not here, full flavored and can be very spicy (if so desired). I have yet to find a plate that I wouldn't recommend, I am at the point now where I just ask the nice woman working what she would recommend.</p> <p>If you like thai food or want to try excellent thai food, check em out. I can't recommend them enough. Oh, the best part: they deliver! </p> <p>PS: if you like it really spicy, order it "Thai style spice." </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2687#post-24234 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:53:21 +0000 BallardKate 24234@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I need a new PCP (Primary Care Physician) for my new Aetna health insurance.

I tried to learn when I was in grade school and it was a horribly frustrating experience (got so stressed out and tightened up that the metal needles would squeak!). Any chance you would consider teaching a beginner knitting class? I may find others who want to learn or re-learn, and there may be some MyBallard folks interested, too. I was thinking of taking a class at Bad Woman Yarn in Wallingford, but I'd much prefer to just walk to somewhere in Ballard (maybe the library or...?).</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> ballardart </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=1193#post-8100 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 20:17:42 +0000 pandabur 8100@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Does anyone know if the QFC is still scheduled to open in December 2009? </p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2686#post-24231 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:42:12 +0000 edibleballard 24231@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <br /> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2683#post-24138 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:34:53 +0000 impliedobserver 24138@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I've decided to shop local and I've decided that everyone gets Smartwool socks this year for Christmas. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2636#post-23535 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:52:41 +0000 JM 23535@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>What is happening with the old Sunset bowl building?

My wonderful vet retired last year and I'd really like to find a great and caring vet here in Ballard. I took the sweet kitty I adopted last spring from PAWS--after she barfed up tape worms (totally and completely disgusting!!)--to a vet here in Ballard, and he was unfortunately not a bit gentle or seemingly interested in cats. My other cat is way overdue for an exam and I'd really appreciate any recommendations for a local veterinarian who loves cats. Any recommendations??? </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2672#post-24023 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:24:02 +0000 stopthebuzz 24023@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Does Ballard have a running club? </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2674#post-24032 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:57:20 +0000 IStream 24032@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Used to be in the upper right corner of the My Ballard page, above "Events". </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2583#post-22749 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:02:44 +0000 Jules 22749@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>it gets lower....the folks at Bartell Drugs and Joanne Fabrics have reported that "The fat girl with the pit bull" (recently sans scary boyfriend) has, apparently a new squeeze, and they have been having sex in the far corner of the Bartell parking lot this week, right after closing.</p> <p>For the love of GOD, at least take it out of the public view.</p> <p>(cue sound of cat coughing up hairball.) </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2667#post-23925 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:04:48 +0000 phoo 23925@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>::disclaimer:: This rant is not directed at anyone on this forum and is intended purely for entertainment purposes.</p> <p>The other day I posted on a mailing list about a meeting that I organized and also added a second meeting happening beforehand. At the end of the mail I posted the website, addy, and phone number for the pub it is happening at. Shortly after sending I got a private reply from someone who said he noticed the pub info in my signature line and am I the owner, cause he'd like some info. I politely replied back that the info was for the pub I had announced the meeting to be held at.</p> <p>However. </p> <p>WHAT. THE. F! Clearly he had not read the email and *replied* regarding an email that he hadn't even read. I understand skimming emails you aren't interested in, but I heartily believe you should carefully read anything you reply to. Frequently I read something 2-3+ times while replying. This is not in fact the first trouble I've had with folks on this list not "getting" what I wrote, but it is the most blatant case of not reading.</p> <p>I mentioned this incident to a friend (also on the list) and asked for an honest opinion over whether I communicated that poorly. Was it something I am doing that I can change? He said that no, people just don't read and that he's had chronic issues with his boss starting an email thread, then chastising him for overusing email to communicate. He's had a number of incidents (at work) where people read the first line, then comment "why didn't you do it this way?" to which his reply is "I did say I did it that way in the email."</p> <p>People tune out listening all the time, imho it is easier to tune someone out audibly - we've got our own thoughts, maybe my tummy is rumbling in a threatening way or suddenly a thought came up about something I forgot, my attention gets suddenly shifted to an airplane roaring by loudly, etc. Now we've transferred that to tuning out people's written communication as well when we can choose better than ever which is important to us and to focus on that. Why are we not paying attention to something that is important enough to reply to but not to read? Is this the same phenomenon that causes some college students to TRY to get a C rather than all As in class? </p> <p>Why would you not read something that you are interested in or would at least prevent you from looking like a fool?</p> <p>I don't get it. </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2645#post-23655 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:43:33 +0000 DNADave 23655@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I need to replace the laminate floors in my townhome thanks to my younger dog.

A few minutes later she came over to me and told me that she really didn't feel well. So i tried to help her walk around a little and gave her my water to drink (she had none). I was helping her walk around and she passed out hard. I kept her from falling hard on the ground and she quickly came around and we (the aerobic instructor and I) got her seated on a bench. She eventually came around and it seemed ok, but here's my question... Was there anything I could have done/imstructed her to do that would have kept her from passing out? I have always been told you aren't supposed to just sit down right after instense aerobic activity (don't actually even know why this is) but maybe this is the exception? I just felt very unprepared to help her and am looking for advice... Any EMTs or trainers out there? </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2654#post-23802 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:16:36 +0000 thatgirl 23802@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Dear Lady who can't see her dog poo:</p> <p>I understand sometimes leaving for a dog walk and not having a bag when the time comes that your dog goes poo. It happens. I think that most people have at one time left the house without a poo bag.</p> <p>I am sure that you didn't think that someone was looking out a window watching your dog poo. My father and I happened to be in the kitchen watching dogs walk by and when we saw your dog do her business. We placed a bet on whether or not you would pick it up. I was rooting for you, I hoped that you would bend down and pick up the poo, but no, you turned and started to walk off.</p> <p>I hope I didn't startle you by asking you out my window if you needed a poo bag. I am willing to share with those who forget. But what really got me was when I handed you the poo bags you told me that your dog didn't poo this time. I didn't want to tell you that we saw your dog poo because really who wants to admit that.</p> <p>As my father was leaving to go to his car he did in fact find your dogs poo. I just wanted to let you know that yes your dog did take her afternoon poo and not to worry, he picked it up for you.</p> <p>So Lady who can't see her dog poo, your neighbor in ballard cleaned up the poo this time.</p> <p>Sincerely,<br /> Your neighbor who has poo bags </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2589#post-22850 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:02:46 +0000 thewiseone 22850@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>I was dropping some mail off at the outside post office box. I didnt pull all the way up to the post office box. I was close by a foot or two. A lady in this mini van pulls up behind me. I got out to drop my mail in the box because I did not have anyone in the passenger side to put it in the mail box for me. She gets out of her car and she is ticked off and states why didnt you pull up all the way up to the box. I said because I need to get out and put my mail in the box. I told her to drop her attitude. That ticked her off. I got back in my car and she took her hand and tried to close my door!!! I had my hand on the door and she hurt it by trying to close my door. I didn't get her license plate because she was behind me and it was dark. I cannot believe this violence would occur in Ballard! Still very shocked by her attitude and how she handled it. I would of called the cops right away but it happened so fast. She was bigger than myself and I need to defend for myself so I shut the door and got in my vechicle and drove away. She was about 5'8", dark hair (brown) striaght medium lengeth and big build. I am so upset! </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2675#post-24039 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:14:51 +0000 nannnerrr 24039@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>Here is the name of the person to call at DESC...she's the one to call if a homeless person has mental issues.

(if it helps, i used to go to Dr. Stone and really liked his practice on 57th St before it merged with another office further north. now that he appears to have retired, it's time to get out.) </p> http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=2637#post-23546 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:38:17 +0000 deleomeyer 23546@http://www.myballard.com/forum/ <p>My daughter has a old (but not first generation) Imac and just got a new Mac laptop. She'd like to transfer files from the old Mac to the new one, but needs the right FireWire cable. Does anyone have one we could borrow for a day or two? If so, please drop me a line at <a href="mailto:deleomeyer@yahoo.com">deleomeyer@yahoo.com</a> </p>
