Happy Mother's Day!

Things that we do for love

Happy Mother's Day! Celebrate this special day with your loved ones :)

All you great grandmas, grandmas, mommies and mommie-to-be out there in the city of Alameda and everywhere. You should be so proud of yourselves for doing such a good job raising your kids, and for always putting our loved ones before yourselves. Only you know all those things you have done for love.

I am my mom's daughter first, and am also my two daughters' mom :)

Only after my daughters were born did I truly understand what unconditional love really means. I have been putting this believe in practice in my daily life when raising my daughters all these years, and there are definitely challenging times. But loving someone unconditionally is just what the word means —unconditional. My "reward" is having two best friends for life.

I am so grateful that my mom is still with me. She is in her 70s and in good health. She is a very traditional lady in her upbringing. Her love for me is never with words, but always by actions and by all those times she has stood by me and by all those loving things she has done for me, without expecting anything in return.

Truly loving someone is loving them ... every minute, every hour, every day and all the time ... showing them how you appreciate them always, not just doing something special for them on their birthdays or on Mother's Day.

If I remember correctly, the tunnel is 45MPH, the road immediately after the tunnel is 35MPH, andRead More once you reach the Starbucks and the Bagel place it goes to 25MPH.

Um, I was told by one of these guys the steaks are from a well-known steak restaurant. Pretty muchRead More admitted they are "hot".
Jasmine Tokuda May 21, 2013 at 09:35 am
I've bought steak from them a few years back, they were good steaks. They generally approach peopleRead More they see out and about. If you are unsure of them, just ask for a price list to keep. They have them printed up, and it has their contact info. Not sure if they have a business license to operate in Alameda though.......

First I think its really sad how people can be really mean to each other just voicing opinions.Read More Secondly Webster is known as "that other side of Alameda" wether you want to admit it or not. Im sure a few folks are going to make comments to that that wont be nice. Webster has be the low priority vs. for a long time. The money HAS gone to Park st. and South Shore. Im sure once Target moves in we will get some chain store in that mall its inevitable. Will it change the fact that Webster is left behind? Most likly not.
Michelle Rowe May 21, 2013 at 10:46 am
Agree that West End/Webster seems to receive a lot less development funding. And while they haveRead More widened Webster (near the tunnel) and plan a Target Store, we are NOT a shopping destination - unless you are seeking pizza, liquor or a tattoo. Our Webster street fairs are also attended poorly and with less quality vendors, than Park Street. Thank god for Cafe Jolie,1400, and Crolls. Will something be done/developed in the empty parking lot on Taylor and Webster? (former site of the farmers market).
virgo May 21, 2013 at 10:37 am
i think webster could use some other options. not necessarily chain places though because i like theRead More local mom-n-pop places. i think webster just needs more variety. i love wes cafe but cafe jolie is awful- overpriced, bad service and mediocre food. i really wish alameda would get an old fashioned bakery whether it be on webster, park st or at south shore. i don't care where but we need one somewhere!! i really miss boniere. i could go over to oakland to buy from boniere but it's a pain to get there and find parking.

The new structure is less appealing to read. Feels disjointed. I was hoping I would adjust but notRead More so.
Analisa Harangozo (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 09:45 am
My apologies for these issues. Our tech support is working the best they can to get these fixedRead More ASAP.
anthony May 21, 2013 at 06:05 am
it's a public notice not War and Peace...your convoluted attempt of the LWV notification, andRead More especially your criticism of the forum, both poorly represent the LWV. Aside from the embedded link to your site what is really needed?
quietneeded May 21, 2013 at 12:28 pm
Getting his photo may be hard because he knows you alteady. Have a friend do it. But do a video. AreRead More both hands on the binoculars or just one? These guys will escalate. You can always call the police at anytime time to report or get advice. Better to be safe then sorry.

That's what i thought LIONS MANE. I asked you a several legitimate questions and you dodged them.Read More Mainly your accusation about what this person will do next. How do you know what this person is going to do other then what you conjured and fabricated in your own mind. Your on a witch hunt and god protect anyone from you being convicted in a jury trial. L.M. i'm not meaning to attack you personally. I don't know who this "creeper" is. Who knows, maybe he's writing a report on the lecherous activities being conducted on the beach. I've dealt with people that fabricate facts is why your post intrigued my attention. I enjoy inciting debate. I rest my case....Have a great day......

Lions Mane needs a career or children since her marriage turned out to be such a dissapointment.

What a funny story! So your neighbor found Oscar blissed out when he got home from work?
Vicster May 18, 2013 at 08:36 am
I'm so glad he hadn't wandered away! I bike home from the ferry along Santa Clara and I kept an eyeRead More out for him. Sounds like he had himself a nice time, the cheeky monkey!
Analisa Harangozo (Editor) May 17, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Yay! I'm glad! Thanks for the update Suzanne.

Here is a fact I made up- 90% of dog owners are irresponsible and shouldn't have dogs... but I'mRead More sure there is a basis to my "fact"
Cynthia May 20, 2013 at 10:03 am
Really? "Poopsie"? Besides that gripe, it makes me sad that we have no beach front thatRead More the dogs can go onto.
Jenna May 19, 2013 at 08:48 pm
I absolutely wish we had some beach frontage in Alameda for the dogs to enjoy the water, but no wayRead More would I take them onto the beach when it's not allowed. The signage is perfectly clear and the fine is probably several hundred dollars.Instead we head up to Point Isabel or Albany Bulb. I've counted 25 dogs in the water on a really nice day at Point Isabel. We're going to Disneyland!

Alameda Police Havier Quintero beat me up on December 16, 1990 and he gut away with this.

Thanks for the info about your experience. I'm starting to hear the same story from about 7 peopleRead More now and I'm sure there are more. Store has been closed all week. Still no sign on the door. At a loss as to what to do to find out what's going on or what to do next.

Good luck with that. I stopped patronizing them a year ago after some shifty practices with my highRead More end items: wouldn't give me a receipt and then my items sat untagged for three weeks. Completely missed the xmas shopping season.
bette page May 20, 2013 at 11:11 am
They are not open yet. Based on the signage I am assuming that it will be an Asian bakery.

It is really dangerous coming out of the dog park/tennis court parking lot. We never try to turnRead More left coming out of it, always right - and even then you have to be super careful because cars just come speeding down the street.
