KOMO - Seattle, WA : Scam costs Lacey couple their life savings | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Break

It was a teller at BofA who asked my elderly mother-in-law "are you absolutely sure you want to do this? Should you check with your daughter just to be sure?" that stopped her from wiring money off to a scam artist. Thank you teller!

KOMO - Seattle, WA : Bellevue trampoline center settles lawsuit over safety | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, S

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:01:04 +0000

I'm with Insomniac (who, coincidentally? posted at 3AM) - I had to give up my dream of the "William Tell Academy of Crossbow" with it's delightful motto of "Hit the smaller circle" because of how litigious our society can be. Seriously, so these company founders thought they were providing a fun activity for the community by opening up a trampoline business designed to send high energy teenagers with developing coordination 30 feet into the air? How naive! Have they not heard of "lawyers" - of which we have way too many, so the vast majority are reduced to seeking any and every opportunity to blame others for their clients stupidity and poor choices in pursuit of financial gain? Sheesh!

I think it's "stents". Little metal tubes placed to keep the arteries open. My mom had one. Would be funnier if were 2 cents, though.

That sounds like the place. Thanks. The "intersection of" had me scratching my head. Still a rough area to be in that time of night - sorry I have to say that about anywhere...

Don't Terry and 9th run parallel? Isn't this near Denny Park? I don't know about now, but Denny Park used to be a drug market - I worked near there and would be accosted each morning by dudes trying to sell me drugs and women trying to sell me something so they could get their next meth fix. I wonder if this activity may have played a role.

"About 400 U.S. troops from the 5th Stryker Brigade, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord". I have to remind myself it's no longer Ft. Lewis, but "Joint Base Lewis-McChord". And people, what's with the thumbs down for Pete's sake?

Trucking - it now seems to be in the headlines section, however I think the local angle is the Ft. Lewis connection. God speed Strykers.

It's also sad that there appears to be a Motown mikey-wanna-be in the thread. "Yeah man, uh - you guys SUCK, man!" It's amusing, Damn! Broke my "no comment" vow... Guess I'm still his bit&&.

Cheers Zoso - I'm going to do the best I can to not reply to you know who. Way back I took a child psychology course, and we learned about "extinction" (another of the "reinforcements" we hear about). In the absence of any feedback (positive or negative), the exhibited behavior will go away (hopefully). No stimulus, no reinforcement of the bad behavior. A sad reality that we have to use "child" psychology on *you know who*.

Isn't this the station your wife works for? http://www.10news.com/index.html A quick glance at the headlines suggests to me that, unfortunately, San Diego has a few problems, too. And I'm originally from there, which makes it even sadder.
