I SAW YOU
SB: I know it was you. I may be a fool, but I am not stupid.CHEERS
KINDNESS STILL EXISTS! Thank you to the kind and caring person who returned my spouse's missing wallet to our doorstep! He dropped his wallet during the snowstorm in February, and it went missing under piles of snow! He looked all over the place and could not find it. Two weeks later, we opened our door to find the wallet there, completely soaked but all cash and cards still in it. We wish we could thank you in person, but I hope you see this!
SUCH A NICE SURPRISE! Thank you so much to the beautiful family who paid for our delicious dinner at South Hill Grill a couple of months ago, just because we offered to switch tables with you to accommodate your larger group. This gesture meant more than you know during a difficult and overwhelming time in life, so thank you!
CHEERFUL FIREFIGHTER: Sunday, 3/30, you were driving a fire engine north on Division and my family was in front of you. We were excited to be driving next to you and then in front of you so our 2.5-year-old son in the back seat would get to see a fire truck. We suggested he wave and you waved back! I was watching from the side mirror and you waving back instantly warmed my heart and filled me with gratitude. Thank you for your impact on our community in the large and small ways!

PERFECT PARENTING ADVICE - FREE: PSA! There is a pink haired woman at Audubon Park who dishes out FREE parenting advice/criticism! It is not often that you can cross paths with a perfect parent. Please make sure to take your kids to Audubon Park in the afternoons, so she can condescend to you about your parenting. It's an exceptional miracle; because when you have four kids, and she has one, she's still much better at parenting and how to deal with crises when one child is bleeding from their face and another is not following you and it's urgent we leave for the safety of the other child. I APOLOGIZE that I TAPPED my daughter's behind to get her attention because she kept getting distracted and we HAD TO GO get my son medical attention. Her ability to judge parenting is genuinely miraculous. And don't worry, while she was yelling at me and creating a scene, her small child was running across the park, by himself, not being watched. Congrats, Pink Hair. You ruined our day and traumatized my kid with your insane accusations. I'm a good mom who would NEVER hurt her kids. I hope one day, when you are in a stressful situation, a stranger chooses kindness, over what you did to me. You make me sick.
PEOPLE SAY... Some people say Trump wants to be king, but that's not possible in a republic. But it is possible in Monarchy. There are different types of monarchies such as Constitutional, Parliamentary or Absolute. Constitutional Monarchies like United Kingdom, Canada and Australia are prime examples. Parliamentary Monarchies are found in countries in Western Europe like Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands. Absolute monarchies are like Vatican City, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the surrounding area. Which type of Monarchy is the United States turning into?
SPOKANE ROAD RULES: If you're new to Spokane, here are a few "rules" that may help you adapt. 1. If you see a sign on the road that says "water over road" that doesn't mean anything currently. If you don't see rain falling, it means that there was water on the road at one time. 2. If you see a sign that tells you that a lane is closed ahead, you have a 50% chance of that occurring. If you don't merge lanes, the lane will probably still be open. 3. Bad roads are all over. When they get patched, they create an uneven surface and the fresh patches get crud all over your car. You will need to replace items on your vehicle more often because the bumps and holes rip them apart. Ask any repair shop. 4. If you see someone who is motionless on a trail by the river, that means they're living on it. Sometimes you can see their home/tent. They're not going to move. You're on their property. So, walk or run into traffic. 5. Buying a WA license and renewing tabs is just a suggestion. Many people here don't care. If you feel like purchasing one, great. But, you won't be penalized if you don't. Start counting the cars on the road with expired tabs, and you'll see that's true. Welcome to Expo 1974!
COST OF SPEED BUMPS VS FUNERALS: Thanks to WA state for the $7,000 allowance for funerals caused by another person's neglect. (Yes it is out there for all to use.) The funeral homes might let you know, but if thi$ help$ you u$e it... Pretty sure several speed bumps on some of these fatal side roads to slow down traffic would be more cost effective. Saving us thou$and$ of dollars, because a sign that states how fast you are going...without taking photos of speeders, sure ISN'T going to slow anyone down. Patrols aren't available 24/7. Neighbors have complained but to no avail. Poor choices will always be made by the invincible, unless there is some immediate accountability for their actions!
ISN'T THERE A PROCESS?! Jeers to a local hospice and assisted living facility for completely mismanaging the notification of the death of a loved one. First, you claim you called the proper contact, who you didn't, then you called to let the wrong contact know the loved one had died, only to then turn around and call an hour later to say, "Just kidding, they are still alive, sorry about that." The process of losing a loved one is difficult enough, but this gross mismanagement and clear lack of following a process caused unnecessary burden, stress, and confusion to someone losing their mother. Shame on you for making this even worse by your mismanagement of this process making an already difficult situation that much worse.
RE: MY BROTHER'S KEEPER: Personally I hold pity for you, that for you love is transactional.
RE: ILLEGAL PLATES: To the person who said they haven't paid for tabs because their car was stolen and "plates ain't cheap." Actually in WA state they are, compared to other places. Much cheaper. But based on your rationale, try telling that to the police when you get pulled over. Good luck with that! Using your words "thx."
TRUMP'S MANDATE: A mandate is an authoritative command that gives someone the authority to carry out their policies. Trump was given three mandates. One from the Supreme Court, one from the Electoral College and one from the popular vote. Trump can do anything he wants because the American public says so.
NO PUBLIC SAFETY: So funding for the COP Shops runs out soon. The City was supposed to have plans by March 1, but didn't. The COP Shops have been around for 30 years, but the City can't/won't come up with funding for the COP Shops, and Public Safety. But they have the nerve to ask taxpayers for $200 Million for schools and $240 Million for Parks. Yet the SPD is horribly understaffed, to the point where it's unsafe. Downtown is an embarrassment, and not safe to go down to. I have three drug houses within a block of me. All three houses have cars, people on foot/bikes coming and going all hours of the day and night. One house has over 100 cars a day. I had a drive-by shooting last Fall, and found 9mm casings in the street in front of my house. The SPD is well aware, but they are too understaffed. The streets are crumbling again, so the City will need money for that, too. Maybe start by ticketing the thousands of junk cars and cars being driven with expired tabs for revenue. Public Safety should be top priority.
THE GAME IS RIGGED: Why DEI? Imagine you are playing a game of monopoly, and there is a white, black, yellow, brown, and red team. Now imagine the yellow team invented gunpowder and fireworks, and the white team used gunpowder and guns to cheat. The white team holds a gun on the other teams and takes 2 or 3 turns for every turn the other teams get to take. They also steal the red team's property and enslave the other teams to build their houses and hotels. Now imagine after all the properties are bought or stolen and all the houses and hotels are built, the white team says they are no longer going to cheat: "that was our ancestors," or at least 2 or 3 times around the board ago. The white team claims that now everyone gets the same number of turns and the same chance to get ahead and win, except inexplicably the nonwhite teams spend more time in jail and do not get to "pass go" to collect more money because they are in jail. Do you think everyone has the same chance to get ahead and win now, regardless of which team they were assigned at birth? Do you think we might be missing the opportunity to tap potential in the nonwhite teams, while we have the clowns with white faces running the game? ♦
