payment, or small vacation. We know there are different fabrics other than leather and lace (we are pretty familiar with flannel and denim), some of us just can’t justify spending that type of money on something that you only get to wear for one or two seasons before it’s no longer in style. As to our husbands, don’t worry about them; they are pretty happy that we don’t try to spend their entire paycheck on clothes. And lastly, if you’re so bothered, please feel free to move to the places that the hobos dress better than we do, we won’t be hurt in the least.
offended the lackadaisical, huddled mass clones. Truly, I am not sorry. My point which you obviously missed---was this--where is our originality as a city? Yes, per capita, Spokane and its outlying areas does make less money than say, Seattle however money isn’t the issue nor is it your perception of my supposed superficiality. It’s that as a whole, we take no pride in how we present ourselves--Spokane prances around like a bunch of sloppy Joes and Janes. If you work in a business office, how come you cannot muster enough strength to merely tuck in your shirt? Or the food industry--may you pull back your hair and not be dripping with metal on your face? That has nothing to do with salary, it’s selfrespect! A chunk of my original posting was not published which would have aided in my case-our youth is under the impression that being sloppy or scantily clad is ok and it’s not--”farming town” or not. By the way, here’s a history lesson--Spokane is industrial and it’s outlying areas are agricultural... in closing, I am not sorry you think so poorly of my opinions. Did I strike a nerve? Was my post not readily accepted because it had nothing to do with drug addicts or poor drivers not yielding to pedestrians? I have volunteered all my life and was raised in a middle class family who worked hard for their money--I didn’t receive an allowance when I was at home nor was I handed a car or an iphone like most of my peers and their prospective siblings. My designer finds are a mix of saving my hard earned money--in the medical field-- and discount shopping. I am a well-educated individual and my contention was simply this-take pride in yourself--you’d think Spokanites are manic depressive clones by looking at us.
but your ‘safety issue’ sure went to hell after honking at me to watch you quickly almost side-swipe a cab to get around us, didn’t it. We exchanged a few choice words at the next light as you slowly rolled down the back windows…to what (?) add a dramatic affect that you had 2 children in the car ~ I am sure by the embarrassment on their faces that they are more than aware of the passive-aggressive nature their Mother possesses. Remember to buckle up, kids
Admonitions 8/27/13 @ 11:50am, Washington and 2nd. You: Driving a blue convertible VW Beetle, screaming “Get off your phone, you dumb b@!*%!” (presumably not your finest moment). Me: driving a dirty SUV, screaming “F*@& you!” in response (not my finest moment, either). The facts: I had put my golden retriever of 12.5 years down 30 minutes earlier. I had finally stopped bawling like a little kid 5 minutes earlier. I had to be back to my stressful job as a law office assistant 5 minutes later. I was stopped at a stop light when I chose to quickly respond to my friend’s thoughtful text of “I’m so sorry about your dog” with “Thanks, it’s been a rough afternoon” I more than understand your concern, but self-righteous, expletive-laden admonitions aren’t going to prevent car wrecks. Why don’t you try what I do the 364 days of the year I’m not putting down a beloved pet; meditate on how each car contains a whole world of emotions, thoughts, stressors, imperfections and human beauty and vigilantly apply your brakes when necessary. Same Panhandler I ran into that same panhandler that every one keeps jeering about. Same old story, ran out of gas can’t work, something like that. This was in the parking lot of my motel. Hope that he gets put away someday. RE: Perplexed Clearly, my befuddled mind misspoke and
Patience To the gal in the silver SUV that was so concerned about safety downtown in front of River Park Square Mall. I was picking up my daughter and 86 year old Mom (did you not see them reaching for the door handle?) Yes, my car may have been indeed jutting out a bit,

Shopping Carts & Bus Riders To all those bus riding Wal-Mart customers in Airway Heights who thinks it’s okay to take a shopping cart off the property to the bus stop. If you can’t carry your groceries that far you should have thought of that before you bought it all. How do you get your groceries home from the bus stop once you get off the bus? Even more concerning, what makes you think it’s ok to tip the shopping cart over in the dirt and then use it as a bench. One of the stops even has a real bus stop with a bench and you still feel the need to sit on the cart. I put my food in that cart, I don’t need the extra side of dirt and grime. Stand your lazy ass up and stop ruining the carts for the rest of us. I was standing outside of 7-11, looking at the Red Box movies and smoking a cigarette. You took the time to stop your minivan, with kids in it, roll down the window and say “you shouldn’t smoke marijuana at a Red Box where kids go to.” Then you called me a f---ing loser. Nice. Jeers to you, woman. There were no kids around the Red Box. I was smoking a cigarette, which the last time I checked is legal. But then, so is pot. You should pull your head out of your butt and stop being so nosy and judgemental. Did you just assume I was smoking a joint because I have long hair? I know I shouted some profanity to you, but you deserved it. And you had already used profanity in front of your own kids prior to that. I feel bad for your kids because they’re probably going to grow up to be foul-mouthed judgmental mean people, just like you. Next time you accost me, I will blow my second hand smoke into your kid’s face. All I have to say is you’re lucky my blonde haired friend did not witness that.
