If I did it right, you're welcome :-) And as with all of these overzealous demolitions, I have to ask - where are the Cleveland Restoration Society? Or do they only care about someone getting approval to replace their carriage house windows in Shaker Heights, or attending a snoop at the annual gala?

"Dont let the door knob hit you on your way out!" The proper phrase is "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!". And with that:

Sherman, that reminds me of something I saw last week in my neighborhood (near the Christmas Story house) - three Mini Coopers (ivory, red and yellow) in a row. They all had reindeer "antlers" and the front car had a red nose. :?

Yeeeeah, Jared seems like an absolute hoot - a "zany" vegan whose guilty pleasure is eating honey, and the guilt comes from the fact that honeymaking might involve bees? :roll:

From newsnet5com: Police: Art McKoy Arrested During Barbershop Drug Raid http://www.newsnet5.com/news/18353388/detail.html POSTED: 12:41 pm EST December 24, 2008 UPDATED: 1:33 pm EST December 24, 2008 EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Police said they arrested community activist Art McKoy and seized half a kilo of cocaine during a raid of McKoy's East Cleveland barbershop. SWAT and Street Crimes police units conducted the raid of the Superfly Barbershop, on Euclid Avenue, and a nearby Cleveland home. Police arrested McKoy, Leroy Sheets and Earl Nash during the raid. East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts said the arrests are the result of an investigation that began in February and included numerous undercover drug buys at the barbershop. Spotts called the alleged activity a "major drug distribution operation" in the city.

Let's see... "Cleveland Mayoral Race 2009"... can we keep it on topic? Or should I just go ahead and lock this thread permanently since everyone is talking about anything BUT the Cleveland Mayoral Race of 2009, even AFTER I tell you guys to get back on topic? :roll:

And in 2009, it will be the same in Cleveland - a coalition of African-American hypocritical bigots bible-thumping pastors are plotting to overthrow the city's recently enacted domestic partner registry.

My first thought is that everyone can have a nice cup of STFU and keep the thread on topic.

And plenty of people bought urban homes/condos they couldn't afford as well.

I remember Lawson's - at my neighborhood Lawson's, I had the high score on Ms. Pac-Man for several months running. :-D

It's the cultural thing, honey. Your gaydar needs polishing.

I'm guessing Jolly is at least 10 years old - our Emma is 9 and she has a smidge of grey in her face. Jolly has quite a bit more than she does. My partner has said he's *never* heard of a "new bone" growing on a pug. Sometimes they have to have work done on their hips, but that's common for the breed.

I made some soup using Israeli coucous last night, and I absolutely LOVE "The Nanny" - does that count for something? :

Tremont/Downtown basically have a dusting to an inch or so. It's about 10F at the moment, so black ice is an issue where the salt isn't effective. However it's supposed to warm up tomorrow: From wkyc.com: Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, few flakes or a wintry mix possible by the afternoon, then switching to all rain. Temperatures rising in to the upper 30s.

It's insane. They've gone through like 6 pugs in the past 20 years. These dogs keep having epilepsy, narcolepsy, every other 'epsy under the sun. They're always on breathing machines, IVs, taking steroids, having an altered diet, etc. Now Jolly just grew a new bone in his back that is pinching his nerves?! Their pugs are such high maintenance and they insist on having them. I want to tell them they need to just get a golden lab or something when Jolly dies. They don't need the added stress of dealing with dog health issues. Granted pugs are a more high-maintenance breed but that sounds like there's more to the story. Yes, they have breed-specific health issues but it sounds like their vet is getting kickbacks. How old is Jolly?

^You're reading my mind - the only thing that comes to mind when someone says "Starter Jacket" is 'oh yeah, people were getting shot all the time in Youngstown for those. It didn't faze me or my friends - we wore black from head to toe, usually from thrift shops.

"It was interesting to see the building that was being destroyed to make way for the eventual Society Center." That was the Engineers Building:

Design aesthetics, yes. Design functionality? Uhh... if a shelter doesn't provide adequate shelter... ;-) Regardless - got to/from an appointment at the Clinic's East 93rd station to East 6th in 15 minutes (give or take). Gotta love that!

^That might not be for long :roll: From cleveland.com Gov. Ted Strickland to veto filmmakers' tax break, veterans' bonus bills Posted by Aaron Marshall/Plain Dealer Columbus Bureau COLUMBUS -- Gov. Ted Strickland plans to strike down a trio of bills passed by Republican lawmakers, including one that would offer tax incentives to woo film companies to Ohio.

The most serious concerns regarding boil alerts are for those who have seriously compromised immune systems (elderly, infants, etc.).

Is there any truly compelling reason that this thread needs to exist?

Alright, whoever wants to b!tch about a minor news story involving a typical water main break - here's your thread. I'm off to go flush toilets for fun - they've been fine since about 9:45am.
