I'm a lifelong cat owner who recently lost my cat to genetic heart disease and my bond with her was so special because it felt like she chose me . When I adopted her it was in San Diego where the shelter had a large open playroom of a bunch of cats walking freely. All I had to do was walk in and she ran right up to me and licked me. I knew she was the one. I'm now looking to adopt another cat but have never been to the shelters or rescues up here. All of the pictures I see of various places just show the cats in little locked boxes where I assume you just get a first impression by asking an employee to let you greet them individually. Does anyone know of any open playroom shelters, OR have personal testimonies recommending a specific shelter they have been to? Does it really not matter if they are in individual little quarantined areas for you to get a vibe on whether the cat you meet is one who chooses you?

Want to know general places to avoid, I grew up in lower Los Angeles county and have good common sense and awareness. So far, I have seen avoid 3rd Ave, pioneer square, Belltown, little Saigon, aurora Ave north. Are there any others and what to watch for? Also, places to make sure to check out. Also, which month is best out of those two? For flying in? Should we rent a car?

Any chance anyone has an extra Hello Kitty happy meal toy from McDonald's and is willing to trade? I'm specifically looking for #1 Hello Kitty. I have #2 Keroppi, #3 My Melody, #4 Pompompurin, and #5 Kuromi available for trade

By no means, am i expecting to live luxuriously, but comfortably at least. I'm would be looking at renting for the first two years, getting settled in, then buying a house. My line of work has the state of Washington as the highest paying state for my occupation. At first I would be non-union followed by eventually a union job. I quoted 120k-140k bc that's worst case scenario. My wife also works, but she is currently not working bc her job got automated and looking for another field to work in.

I'm scoping out the area within a decent range of Redmond, where a potential new job might land us and Sammamish came up. We'd be relocating from Orange County in Southern California, with a family in tow, so the suburbs are fine by us. What caught my eye is the number of homes available and the price cuts around the lake and to the east, is that driven by tech layoffs, or is something else going on? Do people use the lake, is boating big there or is seasonal? We're still weighing options if this comes together, including renting first to test the market rather than buying right away. I already know about the weather difference and it's not a dealbreaker. No family keeping us here either, though good schools matter to us, and that area seems to deliver on that front. We like where we are, but don't love it, and the job market here tends to pay below the SF Bay Area, where we lived before. Going back there feels like a step backward given housing costs, and Washington has its pluses, financial, scenic, and otherwise.

Hi! I’m coming from Vancouver (Canada) for Noah Kahan tonight. Where is best parking? I’m good with parking outside of the area and ubering too.

Randomly walked upon a lovely gathering of alternative folk throwing some kind of concert?Anyone know any details? I only got to stay for like 3 songs before I had to go but I would love to go again if it happens. Thanks!

Hey, i know this is the most first world stupid problem ever, i acknowledge that, and i wanna start by saying if your business DOES prioritize in-person orders, that is totally understandable and okay. Now let me paint you a picture. Let's say, I wanna try Sally Sue's fresh sandwhiches, but only have time for a quick stop before work. I use the business recommended online ordering platform and get a turkey sub and chips. Online ordering says it will be ready in 15 when i order, it takes 12 minutes to get there. I head out. Let's say, it is 1pm. I arrive, Sue's is PACKED, super busy, there is no customer accessible pick up area, so I go up to the counter, don't see a bag with my name on it, so wait a bit but eventually i have to grab an already super busy employee, ask them if my order is ready by name, they are doing a million other things. Then they tell me they prioritize in person orders, look mine up, say they will start on it, but it will be ready in 30 minutes. It is now 1:15 I gotta get back to work but don't want to ask for a refund over this, or waste my money. It is actually 1:45 before my order is ready. Now I'm late getting back to work. This has happened multiple times to me. I am not saying it is not okay to prioritize in person orders, but i am asking, why no heads up that they do this? Why are the pick up times so inaccurate, or worse, bait and switch you. Why not refuse to take online orders in some cases if it is too busy? Why am i seeing apps claim your order will be ready at 1:15 when you are ordering, suddenly changing the ready time to 2:00pm after i placed it? What is the point in ordering ahead, when in some cases it seems restaurants only start making orders when you go up and ask in person for them to start making it? I used to work in customer service, though not in food, and imagine its not fun for the employees either. i know this seems impatient, but can someone in the restaurant industry explain why this happens?

Hi! Me and my husband have recently moved to Ohio and settled in Lakewood. There are two one-month-old looking stray kittens and their mom outside my window. (The pic was taken in a rush and portrays one of the two kittens). I need urgent help trapping, neutering and rehoming them. They look healthy, mom doesn't look older than a year. I don't want to contact the local animal shelter, as l've read that 9 times out of 10 they deem the cats feral and euthanize them. It would be awesome to trap them and deliver them to a local pet store/vet clinic where they have a vet on site and adoption spots available (we've adopted our cat from such a store). Yet we own no trap cages or a car, and getting anywhere by uber is mighty expensive. All help and advice is appreciated. I don't want the family to suffer through the fall and winter by the railway tracks, and subsequently procreate to make more strays. I would adopt them all myself if we had the means. ama Q W E R T Y U G H P
