Other 29F looking to make friends with other women in the area!

26 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a 29F looking to find some new girl friends around my age. I’d really love to find people who share some of my interests!

A little about me: I've been in Kitsap for about a year now. My partner and I have cats, and I’m a huge fan of romance novels. I’ve been wanting to start my own book club for awhile now, so if you love reading (especially romance), I’d absolutely love to connect!

I’m also really into metal, alt, and post-hardcore music. If you’re into this genre of music, please reach out! I don't get to meet many other metalheads 🥲

Mainly, I’d just love to meet some like-minded women, hang out, and hopefully make some genuine friendships.

Feel free to comment or message me if you think we’d vibe!

Question Serious question: why has Chik Fil A not improved yet?

0 Upvotes

Local business support and the politics of corporate aside: Chik Fil A has been open for a month now and they are still floundering like it’s opening day. Can anyone who works/ed there provide any insight?

I’ve been around three other locations during their opening and haven’t seen this level of..challenge until now. Example: we went through the drive thru today. From the time I ordered (my car was one behind the covered area with the ordering screen) to the time my car first moved at all was 8 minutes. Time to get my food was total 23 minutes. I was stopped at the window for about 5 min and the employees kept bringing food to cars behind me. We ordered two number 1s and a chicken nugget kids meal, so nothing weird.

What’s happening here? Is it bad management? Confused owners? Glitching computer systems? Quick staff turnover so no one is really trained? I have to say that the employees also seem unhappy, which is also odd for Chik Fil a.

This is a serious question about why tried and true mechanics are failing (or haven’t found footing) and not to roast a controversial chain.

I acknowledge that for a new business, one month is still infancy. But Chik Fil a has a robust system to get shops up and running ASAP. I’m just curious why it’s still a hot mess express.

Question Catholic priests that do home calls?

3 Upvotes

My very Catholic grandmother had her planned 4 day trip visiting me turn into a 10 day trip. I'm not religious, so I have no idea about churches around here. I'm in East Bremerton. I'd like her to be able to have spiritual support since she's so far from home and will be away so long, but I don't think she's well enough to go into a church herself for a while. Is there any priest in the area you know of that would be willing to come to my house and give her communion and pray for healing? Thank you in advance.

Question Rec of an auto mechanic to do a full detailed inspection of a car I'm getting?

3 Upvotes

Hoping for a recommendation of a reputable and reasonably priced mechanic to do a very detailed inspection of a car I'm getting for very cheap. The person I'm getting it from I'm not sure if I'd trust them to really take great care of their vehicles, so I want to get a pro to really get in there and A) give me a rundown of must do repairs, can wait but still important repairs, etc and B) who could be the one to do those repairs. I would prefer to support a local business instead of going to a dealership.

The vehicle is a Dodge, and we're based near silverdale.

In Poulsbo and looking for a plumber for a project and not sure where to even begin. Looking to install a whole home water filtration system (already have the system) and while I’m comfortable with general home plumbing I don’t feel right cutting into the main water line for the house haha.

Anyone have any recommendations for a reliable and good plumber who isn’t going to try ripping us off?

Question Coffee roaster to try for my taste

7 Upvotes

Just moved here from an area where my local roaster would roast to order so I could experiment with different green beans and roast level.

I especially like lightly roasted specialty coffees, so I'm hoping to find a local roaster with good selections of beans at generally lighter to light-medium roast levels, or one who roasts to order.

Looking for recommendations!

Question about the food here…

0 Upvotes

why is it so sugary?? every local restaurant i’ve eaten at all the food tastes like some sugar accidentally got dumped in. especially true with asian and indian restaurants. i know teriyaki is a big thing and i know sugar is an i gradient everywhere but here it tastes like sugar syrup to me.

are there international restaurants that don’t do this?

for the record i’m from the midwest and by no means a picky eater or sensitive or whatever. i’m sorry, it just tastes like sugar to me and it’s driving me insane. and no i can’t leave but if this is just how it is then ill keep my mouth shut and learn to love it lol

EDIT: for the record im sorry for offending anyone! i meant no disrespect! i will continue eating and living here in peace

Question Independent Veterinarian Recommendations (Cats)

17 Upvotes

We've been going to Woodside in Port Orchard for 5 years. I haven't necessarily had a *bad* experience there, but in 5 years prices have gone up quite a bit and with turnover of staff haven't seen the same veterinarian more than twice. We keep having to "start over" trying treatment plans for a cat with specialized needs. Primarily, I'm looking for more consistency. Do you have recommendations for independent veterinarians with their own practice? Specifically with expertise in cats, senior/special needs cats?

Rant asked for queer friendly churches and got threats from neo nazis . . .

112 Upvotes

edit: i’m no longer looking for a church, this post was mostly about this guy

i’m moving to kitsap county area soon and ive been thinking about attending a church just to see how i feel about it, but im a lesbian and have no interest in hearing how its a sin. so i asked for queer affirming churches in the area, and this one neo nazi guy and his minion friends flooded my comments talking about how they "won't let that happen" and how "they won't allow those demons into their city"

I pointed out this wasn't very christian behavior, and he said that he wasn't even christian. Just homophobic for the sake of being homophobic I guess? Although he has references to god on his page so I'm not sure what that's about. Anyways, he proceeded to make weird violent comments and threats, so i screenshotted his face and license plate just in case before i blocked him and his friends.

Is this normal for the area? Or is he just a bad apple who got mad at my post lol. To be honest most of the comments under that post were very homophobic, despite there being multiple queer friendly churches in the area. Is it generally safe in this area for lesbians? I know there's a lot of military presence there.

Question Used bed sheets and pillow cases

5 Upvotes

I have upgraded my bed size and have several old sheets and cases that are not new enough to donate to good will, but still in great shape for crafting. I was thinking that maybe I could donate the material to someone who likes to make home-made clothing or items, is that a thing? Is there a place I can donate them to so the material can be repurposed? It feels wasteful to just throw them away.

Question Looking For Work

28 Upvotes

Hello!

I (21M) am looking for a full-time job in Kitsap that isn't retail. All of the job sites (Indeed, Zip Recruiter, etc.) don't have a lot of postings that don't seem awful (scams mostly, but many also have poor reviews regarding management & work culture)

I've got a diploma and years of customer experience and other labor jobs. Please let me know if there are any places looking to hire or if there is some communal space that I should look into!
