I was *supposed* to be in LQA at Seattle Center on Friday morning, but I knew I’d be leaving about 1pm and Mercer Street is a disaster after noon at the best of times. So I gave it a miss. Guess I could have tried out the tunnel LOL

Thanks! I was trying to give a sense of how deep the snow around my house is (last week’s didn’t melt hardly at all yet) but I wasn’t even standing in the deep part.

I spent 30 years in So Cal and for some reason I did not think of “hilly” when I thought of Seattle. Then I moved here and the first time I drove down by the waterfront I freaked the fuck out. Those are San Francisco-level hills.

Man, I have taken some wacky detours around Seattle to avoid having to drive up some of those bullshit hills. You’re gonna roll back even on a dry, sunny day with an automatic transmission. Forget if it’s icy.

That’s why Seattle has such a terrible reaction to snow. It melts a little all day and freezes overnight and everything is on a hill. Also we have like 100 plows in the whole state and most of them are not for the Seattle area because it’s not supposed to snow more than 2 or 3 inches here EVER.

We got 5 inches where I am, but it was on top of what hadn’t melted from Monday. So under the fluffy new snow is a layer of packed, slick icy snow.

Hey Seattle Jezzies, how’s Snowmaggedeon treating you? We’re well-stocked and walking distance from a grocery store, but I have so many appointments next week that I might have to cancel because our neighborhood is like last priority for plowing. Also, trash pickup was canceled last week and if they cancel it again…

Also, two kids from Clark County went to Hawaii and developed symptoms after they arrived. So they were probably contagious on the plane and in the hotel there too.

I only ordered water in my clubbing days. A) because saying “I don’t drink” keeps men from constantly trying to buy you a drink whereupon they think they’ve purchased your undivided attention for the evening, and B) anyone in the places I went to regularly would know that I didn’t drink alcohol and if I was acting…

Especially since Spanish has both a male and a female version of “witch.”

Domino’s has gluten-free pizzas cheaper than the good pizza places do. Half my family has celiac and I’m tired of dropping $80 on pizza per order.

I have seen this book mentioned several times and I’m tempted to see if my library has an ebook copy so I can secretly check it out without people actually seeing me do so.

Seriously, she heard the word “escargot” and asked what it was. I said it was cooked snails. She rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips, heaved a huge 4-year-old world-weary sigh and said “No, mom. What is it REALLY?”

Mine would never eat “kid food” as a kid either. Pb&J, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, nada. To this day she still hates both peanut butter and ketchup. Her daycare always thought it was weird that she had like pasta and green beans for lunch. When she was 4, she demanded to try escargot because she didn’t believe me when…

Hey, I got made fun of all through school because my last name was just a couple letters off “Delorean” so I’d like my free time machine now.

I have always loathed milk in my cereal. Vanilla yogurt and granola are okay, but I despise cold, drippy cereal. 

I have, on at least 3 occasions, completely blanked on registering my car or not had the money to do so. At one point I think I went 4 months expired before I got it done.

See the thing about men is, they’ll be like “oh I just cut off a finger nbd give me some duct tape” but then they get the sniffles and it’s like “just ... go on without me I’m not gonna make it”

Jesus fuck, you were just supposed to ignore it for FORTY YEARS?!

Oh my god I wanted a Meyers Manx SO BAD when I was a teenager. My dad kept saying we’d build one and we never did. Hnnnghhh I need this car.
