I SAW YOU

PLANNED: Carl, the conversation you need to have isn't with that Preacher, it's with God. You've stated you're just fine with the decisions you're making in your day-to-day numbers game at the "mill." You're not, though. Take a hike or take to your knees. In the quiet of YOUR beating heart, you will hear the voice you've been seeking. He planned it that way. One day it'll be too late, and you'll still be summoned to have that conversation. Better now. Then is too late.


CHEERS

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, LOVE OF MY LIFE: I know I can't say this to you directly right now, but I'm hoping you'll read this... we've had our good times and bad times... we've created memories with our son for years.... I'm broken with how things are right now... I'd give anything to go back and change it... to open up more, to talk more, to love more... looking at it from where I'm at now... I took too much for granted. I took you for granted... I can't change the past, but I can try to make the future better... I'd give up a lot just to be able to call you, or even hug you, omg I'd hug you so tight right now... I don't know what the future holds for us... but i hope there can be an "us" in it, whether it be us as life partners, or us as a co-parenting team... I just want US back... I'm sorry for my part in everything, I'm sorry I might not be what or who you truly want... but my love for you will continue until the last star burns out. Our son needs to see happiness...12.6.15, you'll know. I can't say it enough, but I'm sorry for my part, and I love you forever.

VET TEAM: A special thank-you to the staff at Hunter's Vet Clinic, especially, Dr. Fielding and Dr. Casey. You were able to see my pets on the same day I called, which probably saved their lives. Your compassion and continued care helped complete their recovery. Thank you so much for giving me more time with my pets.

RE: WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO DO? How would we like you to show that you care? The same way you do for any other human, because that is what we are, human.

DOORDASH DRIVERS: For those of you who don't know, drivers are offered two ways to get paid: by offer or by time. So by offer is base pay $2 almost every order 1/100 is higher idk what reason for higher base. By time is $16.50hr active time from selecting offer until drop off. But it's well known that by time dashing is gonna be all no/low tip orders, and it's often long trips out of the zone that you don't get paid to drive back to where you can get orders. Dashers are required to use insulated bags and have time limit for orders. I try to go above and beyond for every customer, but seems like a lot of dashers don't care. Tipping is the main source of income for us drivers, but I don't expect tips all the time and I try to earn them, but generally $1.50-$3 is an average tip, $5-$10 is a good tip, and $10-30 is the highest I've ever got. It can make drivers' day to get good tip over $5. And so you know support is awful! And restaurant is responsible for including all items. Most dashers want $1-2 per mile. And beware which location you place order because I've had many at far off store when there's closer ones.

LOVELY LIGHTS: Cheers to those who add cheer to the dark days of winter. Thank you for putting up holiday lights! I appreciate every single one of you!

BE THANKFUL: Everyday is a blessing.

JEERS

STATESMANSHIP: As the Biden administration winds down, President Biden has accomplished Many things that those who voted in Spokane County can be proud of as Democrats. Recently his telling Ukraine they can use U.S. medium- to long-range missiles to fire INTO Russia! Any of you weeping in your Chardonnay realize what that means to the Russians? You looking forward to sending your sons and daughters off to war in Europe? Oh! That's right, this will be forgotten the minute you realize you can blame TRUMP for the fallout! Now who's the warmonger?

DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS: Jeers to SPD for posting up on Knox and Washington to catch speeding cars near NC H.S., maybe go check out some of the 10 most dangerous intersection in town, ya bums.

BOOMER COFFEE HOODLUM: Maybe the coffee wasn't to you or your wife's taste, judging by the lipstick on the lid, or maybe you just enjoy the graceful arc of a cup of coffee flying into the rocks. Either way you left some confused pedestrians as you casually tossed the full paper cup into Washington Trust's rocks on Grand. I apologize, as I couldn't leave your "artistic statement" and walked a few feet to the garbage can to throw it away. We get that you don't have a long time to walk this Earth, but others would like an unlittered view.

WHO VOTED FOR WHAT? Since the election there has been a lot of hysteria about the coming administration. The people of Spokane may not have noticed or heard that the majority of the country voted for a man that is going to return America towards it's roots. For 8 years Big Media and small (Inlander) has pushed for a "Woke" agenda. Yes there are those that want to come that maybe deserve to be here BUT YOU don't want them to be bothered with legal paperwork. Just let them in! NOW The President-elect wants to clear the streets and send them back. Before the man has even been in the office supposition has run rampant. The hysteric Nazi example used. Don't wait and see, just jump to conclusion!

EVERY 4 YEARS LIKE CLOCKWORK... If a clown enters a palace he does not become a king. However the palace becomes a circus. Wasn't this also true 4 years ago? (I can't take credit for this... read it months ago in a different context. But seems rather fitting.)

YOUTH SPORTS IS A MONEY GRAB: Since when did youth sports become a money grab? Why is there so much pressure to be the best of the best at a young age? What happened to playing for enjoyment and improvement? It's disappointing that we can't coach to help improve our skills and enjoy the love of the game. Instead, we promote that money and winning is all that matters. All these travel teams and tryouts are just causing more damage to our youth's ability to want to be a part of the sports world. What about the average kid that is trying their best and wanting to be a member of the sport. What a sad day for our youth. Maybe one day we can get back into a better mindset of winning is not the end of the world when you're only 12.

BOZO: Bozo the Clown is appointing unqualified monkeys & weasels to join the circus. Hold on tight. It's going to be a sh*t show.

HEALTH OFFICER FOR "BOTH SIDES-IN" VAX ISSUES: In a recent Spokesman piece highlighting concerns over the appointment of RFK Jr, an anti-science conspiracist with no medical or public health experience, as the nation's Secretary of Health and Human Services, Spokane's current health officer, Dr. Francisco Velazquez took the opportunity to let the public know that our local agency tasked with protecting and advocating for public health, has moved away from using the term misinformation because it "may generate a negative response." Really? Should we say "alternative facts" instead? Aside from discredited theories on vaccinations, Kennedy has promoted harmful misinformation for decades. In contrast, local public health expert and emeritus SRHD administrative officer Torney Smith expressed "grave concerns" about Kennedy's appointment, using the word "reckless." Other state officials quoted in the article describe the appointment as "egregious," "irresponsible," "dangerous," and a "catastrophic nomination" "nothing short of a disaster for the health of millions of families." Yet here in Spokane we have a health officer who doesn't like to say "misinformation." Spokane County deserves a public health department officer and health board that promises to uphold facts in the face of the speeding train of fringe pseudoscience or shall I say "misinformation" that is heading our way. DO BETTER SRHD.

GOVERNMENT WAY DRAGSTRIP: Newly relocated to Spokane. Live near Government Way/Whitstalks Way. What's with all the fricking LOUD vehicles zooming by at all hours of the day and night? Some are junkers, but some are little men that have decided that modified loud cars are some feeble attempt to impress themselves. Would love to see a police cruiser tamp down that intersection. ♦
