Y'all want to see a purdy picture of my beautiful city???

[SeattleGirl]

No, I didn't take this, just found it on Google images. But I just made it my desktop. Thought it was a great picture.

1. Nice, but

[SeattleGirl]

3. Just for you, OR -- DIALUP Warning!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Looks like an outlet mall

All that lattice work really bugs me for some reason.

Great looking field, though. :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

9. An outlet mall???

That settles it, dude! You must get your ass up here and come to a game. You will see that Safeco is NO outlet mall! x(

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Ah, go mow yer lawn

:evilgrin:

[SeattleGirl]

17. I just did, this weekend!

And I've been weeding, and spreading bark. So where the bloody hell have YOU been???? :evilgrin:

19. I saw that thread.

If your BIL is anything like my FIL, many projects can be a "challenge"!! :rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Yeah, that was... interesting

John and I get along great, though, despite the fact that we're so alike in that way.

Thing is, the finished product is always well worth the time spent discussing every detail.

[SeattleGirl]

23. Hey, whatever works is my motto, dude

My FIL and I got into a rather heated discussion about that woman -- Shannon? -- who got into West Point. My FIL is a career Navy guy, and did not cotton to the idea of females there, but I did. We were not disrespectful of each other at all, but MrSG was ready to crawl under the bed, I swear! :rofl: Me thinks he has not figured out the diff between an argument and a heated, spirited discussion!

You are indeed, privileged to live in such a beautiful and progressive city. :toast:

20. That red and white blob on the right-hand side reminds me of the

polar icebreaker I used to be on that was homeported in Seattle (The USCGC Polar Star, at Pier 36). Not saying it is that ship though.

[SeattleGirl]

21. Red and white blob?

Not sure what you are referring to.

[qnr]

24. Right here:

For comparison:

[SeattleGirl]

25. I'm not sure, but it's possible

We have a lot of traffic between Seattle and Alaska.

[qnr]

26. True, but Seattle is the home port of the Polar Star and the Polar Sea.

Seattle was my home for a while, when I was assigned to the icebreakers.

[SeattleGirl]

27. No kidding!

Where did you live, if I may ask.

[qnr]

28. Mostly on the ship (at pier 36, which is down past the stadium)

spent a lot of time at gf's places in Queen Anne and Green Lake.

Edit: I think it was 36, it has been quite a while

[SeattleGirl]

29. I definitely know the area

And Queen Anne and Green Lake are wonderful neighborhoods in SeattleLand!

[qnr]

30. Yeah, it's a great city, I loved my time there. n/t
