Up in the Ballard area is where a lot of the guys from Deadliest Catch live and have their boats. Not sure if that helps.

So we ended up going to H Mart which is gross. The crab was off and we threw it out.

:evil: My coworkers are always talking about crabs and how this is the best place for crabs. Granted I'm 20 minutes south of Seattle but you would think there would be at least 1 place that sold fresh Dungeness Crab. And it's ridiculous because then they have the galls to say things like "Does the E...

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect ...

I did not want to tarnish the 4th of July thread so I'll post this here. Someone on my fb posted they are not proud to be American today because some states don't show fireworks but do allow guns. And she basically said don't shoot of your guns if you can't have fireworks. I just. ..don't know what ...

That's awesome!

One day, I'd really like to make my own carpaccio. Sometimes I watch YouTube videos on how to do it.

I think I just need courage.
...and the right meat.

Preemptive gear grind: SEPTA, Philly's mass transit clusterfck. Over the past few years, they've been replacing old cars with a new model, and this past weekend have found major structural cracks in 95% of these new cars that have been inspected. These new cars - which are uncomfortable as hell, an...

Happy 4th of July!!!! May everyone watch unobstructed fireworks, eat ice cream that doesn't drip, and avoid any corn substance (candy, kettle, cob, creamed) from getting stuck between their teeth. I love this day. The one day you can say, Suck it British Monarch! You lost! :mrgreen: (And not have to...

That is one part of nyc I do not miss. I have to give NYC credit. There are 6 billion people walking the streets of Manhattan, and I find it easier to do there than I do Philly, were everyone walks like they're grazing cattle or lost 95% of the time. Yeah, is it so hard to walk to the right...and n...

That is one part of nyc I do not miss.

Soo Kaiser and I are spending July 4th at the Oregon coast. By luck we ended up getting an ocean view room. They have a fold out bed in the living room and Kaiser and I are camping out here tonight (he's actually napping right next to me). The room has a sign in book and it goes back to 2007. I've b...

I'm loving the new Garbage album.

That sucks, Rev. Lactose free milk doesn't taste any different than regular, if you like cereal. Aww thanks. I do usually drink almond or coconut milk. Starbucks's coconut milk isn't pallatable. Their soy milk is pretty good taste wise but something in it makes me sick as well. Other soy milk doesn...

Lactose intolerant?

Ugh in denial. My mother in law brought it to my attention.

...and I just checked my account. My only options for internet are to downgrade to 25/25 service, or upgrade to 300/300 service for an extra $130/month, or to 500/500 service for an extra $230/month. WTF? Chatted with Verizon today, since I was curious about the lack of 100/100 service. They're tel...

This might be gross but any time I've been violently ill has been from Starbucks. I remember Christmas 2011 my mother and I made a Starbucks run to prepare for Black Friday and we also got some on the way home. I ended up getting sick in the most disgusting and violent way and was sick for days. Yes...

Out of the places I've lived, I almost would say Florida. just so many clueless people doing whatever they want. However, I have to say New York is its own special mayhem. Its not exactly their fault, because none of the streets have any f***ing lines. people just go wherever they need to, and to h...

Sooo my highschool had its graduation recently and they perfectly played the Star Wars Theme Song. I just LOVE my hs. So much awesome!

Perhaps the necessary medicine is in short supply, and perhaps there are people who are willing to abuse a system to prevent others from receiving the necessary care that they need? That's interesting. I didn't consider that. The doctor ended up seeing my friend's fb post and was livid. I tried tal...

I have a friend who is volunteering to help the Syrian refugees. She's been to a number of countries to do this. Apparently a doctor wrote to her and told her to stop getting people their medication bc they should see a doctor first, even if she is just doing refills. I mean seriously, go ahead and ...

I agree!

I was going to complain about the Kanye West song I am a God but DG put things into perspective.

Also, there are ways to train your cat to not use their claws when playing. Stop playing with them and touch their claw so that they know that's the reason why. They don't want to hurt you. They aren't really thinking about it when they're playing. If you do it over and over eventually they will onl...

I keep saying I'm going to leave her claws in (I've always removed them from past cats), but I'm really starting to look like a cutter. My arm is constantly ripped up just from playing and attacking. I guess I could wear a long sleeve, but it's not convenient in the summer. Not sure what exactly ch...
