Beware of @Budget! Every time I rent a car- fill it up before returning, tell them I filled it. They always attach a fuel charge. You don’t know about it until you get the receipt in the hopes that the customer won’t notice. It’s a scam and totally dishonest.

@PetsBest I have so many issues w/ Pets Best insurance for my dog that I canceled my policy a month ago. It took two 40 minute phone calls. The company doesn’t provide any means of contacting them except this - inexcusable. Not a surprise that they charged my credit card anyway!

[arlene fairfield @afairfield]

@KPMemberService Yup, emailed. STILL getting run-around w/ this urgent request to access any of daughter's health care services/info. Told "there's a ticket open", ie getting blown off. This is 3rd "ticket" since May w/ ZERO response. Is 5 months with no health info access not enough time??

@kpwashington Worst health care administrator I've ever had!

@priceline We booked a rental car through Priceline with https://t.co/u8pAlPHfaY - and even prepaid! Waited almost 2 hours just to learn sorry no cars. Stranded far from airport trying to find a different car rental company. Gee thanks.

Why can't @Trustco_Bank properly process a Canadian check after 4 1/2 months?? It took 5 1/2 weeks for @Trustco_Bank to even US MAIL (say what? mail?) the check to @CIBC. @CIBC has the check for 3 months. What kind of pony express banking is this in 2023? Unbelievable!

@Ask_WellsFargo Thank you, Wells Fargo for fixing the issue.

[arlene fairfield @afairfield]

@WellsFargo :the absolute WORST!! My parents are 89 & 90 (never used an ATM, don't have ATM card, don't drive, & live in assisted care).They just need copies of checks they wrote in 2021. My mom has called 6X and told to go to an ATM over & over. Refuses to help my parents at all

@KING5Seattle Because, seaplanes look for the best place to land - they very often don’t use the space by the buoys. And, they have the last right-of-way on the lake. If you allow private enterprise to take over a public lake, there will be no room for recreational boaters.

[arlene fairfield @afairfield]

@KING5Seattle The quote in the article is ABSURD: "When you're on the water, you really just have your head on a swivel”, i.e. as if people are keeping a look out in the sky while paddling and then outrun the seaplanes while on your paddle board. Nobody does that nor should they ever have to.

[arlene fairfield @afairfield]

@KING5Seattle This is wrong on so many levels. Private entities should not take over public spaces for their own use to the exclusion of all the other users who share the lake. Seaplanes have an advantage over boaters as they have the ability to maneuver with more visibility than boats.

@WADeptHealth What is the definition of multi generational? Is it someone over 50 with a child in the house or more than that?

[arlene fairfield @afairfield]

@johnkrasinski Garfield’s band director, Jared Sessink, found a way to bring the band together virtually. 25 students in his top ensemble were tasked with recording individually against a master trackcompiled into Garfield’s first-ever virtual concert! https://t.co/gQ2AbyEp7l

@johnkrasinski Good news! Garfield HS Jazz Band in Seattle was 1 of 18 nat'l HS jazz bands qualifying for prestigious Essentially Ellington jazz festival, hosted by Wynton Marsalis, to be held May 2020 at Lincoln Center in NYC. Sadly, COVID forced the festival to be canceled.

@Expedia I highly recommend never using Expedia! On hold for 1.25+ hrs now in need of refunds for cancelled flights. @Expedia trying to get out of it & take advantage during pandemic. Terrible company

@GovInslee What about hotels? Do they have to close?
