I seriously hate him......not sure if/how to retaliate yet.

Any and all suggestions are welcomed!

I saw some guy doing that around 7:30 this morning on 7th St (I think). He scooped snow from his large stoop steps into the yard next door. I was so confused and thought maybe he owned both lots, but now I'm thinking some people are just bigger jerks than I expected.

I headed to the park nice and early (for such a cold, windy day) and got to see my dog romp with all the other spunky pups. The snow was a lot deeper there--my dog would play bow to another dog and all you could see was his fluffy butt and tail wiggling above the snow.

And we got to see a guy jogging across Londmeadow in a banana suit. WTF??

I caught the A$$HAT dumping snow into my yard AGAIN!!!!!! This time I ran out before he had a chance to run back into his house and asked him, as nicely as I could muster, not to dump in my front yard. He looked at me like he had no idea why I would be asking him to stop doing anything and gave me an angry "FINE". I can't imagine he'd be thrilled if I was dumping my snow on his property and thus doubling his shoveling!!!!

WTF is wrong with people?!?!?!?

bigguy, what do the nutrition stats on the side of the package say?

I was thinking of that as well. A package of Top Ramen has 2 servings. (Who eats half a package of ramen?)

Each serving has 7 grams of fat. I used to eat 2 packages at a time. That is %44 of the fat I should have in a day.

^They say the amount of sodium in this will kill a horse-LOL! My eldest loves that stuff!

And,the Botanical Gardens are closed. My youngest came in from being outside for an hour and a half, his cheeks were bright red!

wtf?

I can't imagine in this mess that alt side will be in effect tomorrow......they just haven't announced it yet. Check back in the morning and I'm almost positive that they will have suspended it.

I agree. Bloomberg did that last year. I dug out for over an hour and later he cancelled it.

brooklynpotter

and i recall he got a HUGE amount of flak for not suspending it and being snotty about it

I remember that day. Took my wife an hour and a half to drive back from Bay Ridge. Half the people move their cars the other half did not. What a mess

YEAH!! Me too! Except I have this weird multicolored crocheted blanket the BF got from his grandma (?) and I'm preparing a HUGE meal: beans, chimichurri chicken, salsa, tortillas. I need to make breakfast first. which might be bacon and eggs.

I've got a snuggly puppy curled up next to me.

They're fine. 380 cal per package, 120 cal of it from fat. I use half the packet of the flavor stuff. Why does Ramen get such a bad rap? Is noodle soup with a boullion cube any better?

brooklynpotter

per package or per serving?

i think it gets a bad rap because it costs 20 cents

bigguy

Package.

bigguy

Mine cost 33 1/3 cents ea. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't mind spending $$$ for quality.

brooklynpotter

you got ripped off!

bigguy

Yea I gotta make a trip to Hong Kong Supermarket and get the good (cheap) stuff. BTW, here's an awesome Ramen recipe for the truly desperate:

Mougar, mrs whynot and I would like to adopt you.

anastasia beaverhausen

You do realize that if you do, you'll have to provide a dowry to his future husband, right?

Our dog Dude is male. ...It'll be an arranged marriage. Dude 's need for a dowry is minimal.

...I figure we can train Mougar to walk Dude, after he cleans, shops and bakes.

Just think of all the tricks I taught Dude. ...mougar should be easy.

em26

Nah , Mougar is free.

No fair! Whynot , I was supposed to be moving in! :mad:

And there's no way I'm sharing a room with Mougie. [-(

He sleeps in that cold back room with the wall of phones.

whynot_31

EM, I forgot you were available! ...isn't the husband going to notice you are gone?

Are you going to do chores like Bitch Cakes?

I just asked Dude, he says he has no preference between the two of you. Whichever brings the best treats will get his vote

I just took my obligatory walk in the snow and I've decided I am never leaving my apartment again. That wind is nasty.

Hell no! Ill be vacationing. What's wrong with you?

I fed Dude his scooby snacks! Did he forget already?

What has Mougar done for him?

Listen , I just want my own room and to be able to slide around the mansion in my socks whenever I want to no questions asked.

Give Mougar the back room or the shed -whatever.
