January 3, 200916 yr That thread about that guy selling the staircase in his house reminded me of Rookwood fireplaces. There's a lot of them in Cincinnati - if you look up houses on the MLS, that's usually a huge selling point and increases the value of the house. Rookwood is mostly known for vases though. Everything was hand painted by really talented artists. On ebay, rookwood vases are going for hundreds and thousands of dollars. Here's the biggest Rookwood fireplace ever made:
January 3, 200916 yr Without any background, we are only discussing hypotheticals. I agree this is a relatively pointless argument. There are no details in the article, so we don't know if she has already spoken to the parents about this. If she hasn't, then I'd say they were justified in getting pissed. She probably put up a fight, too .. I doubt the cops would've been called otherwise. Regardless, everything that's being discussed about this so far is based purely on conjecture.
January 3, 200916 yr They should take this case to Judge Mathis - this is good stuff. The ONLY TV judge worth taking anything to is Judge Judy. :-D
January 3, 200916 yr Agreed! That old woman would know the true meaning of emotional distress after stepping into that courtroom lololol Tanis said he never wanted Jester to be arrested. “I just wanted the ball back,” Tanis said. “My son paid for the ball with his own money.” Tanis and his wife, Kelly, have five children and have lived in the Blue Ash neighborhood for seven years. Jester has lived there since 1949. Tanis said his son and some of his cousins and friends were playing football in the street Thursday when the ball landed in Jester’s yard, where she was gardening. He said Jester picked up the football, refused to give it back and told him to call the police. When police asked Jester to return the ball to the children, she refused. They warned her twice she would be charged if she did not cooperate, Schaffer said. They tried to give her a citation, but she refused to sign for it, he said. Left with no other choice, he said, officers placed her in the back of a cruiser, took her to the police station and booked her, he said. Schaffer said Jester told police to handcuff her but they refused. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20081020/NEWS01/310200028/1055/NEWS
January 3, 200916 yr David, I don't think you like old people! Now I get it!!! First the lady on 57 street now poor Edna.
January 3, 200916 yr Babyboomer entitlement :angel: *runs* Edit: This woman is too old to be a babyboomer. I guess I just hate old people. Launch them all to the moon like they did John Glen :clap: (Just kidding)
January 3, 200916 yr The whole thing is ridiculous. Venti means 20 in Italian (I guess it refers to the number of ounces) and Grande means large in Mexican. Then you have Tall which is the opposite of small (which is what it really is). Consistency people, consistency! Mexico has its own recognized language? "Si" I've been brushing up on my Mexican. Sometimes I order an "el medium-o" but they look at me like I'm crazy. Those 'baristas' are so uncultured.
January 3, 200916 yr I guess I shouldn't stereotype. I'm sure you're very fluent in the Mexican language.
January 3, 200916 yr That's it...I'm putting your face on a pillow and selling it on EBay Oooooooh, I don't think you want to do that. Or I'll be forced to have that account closed (trust me, I can do it) and then I'll have the pictures of you and your "friend" in various positions plastered all over Milwaukee and in the window of every starbucks you can imagine. You know exactly what pictures I'm speaking of. I play dirty....I don't think you've got the skin to play in my sandbox.
January 4, 200916 yr HAHA, I missed it. MTS, you're fantastic. You're not the first man to tell me that!
January 4, 200916 yr Wow, calm down there sir. Off topic - Why the hell did I come back to Milwaukee? It was 65 and sunny in Denver, it's 20 icy and miserable here.
January 4, 200916 yr Nobody watches NHL You're crazy ... but they watch the NBA? The NBA is dying. I think the NHL has a better outlook in comparison to the NBA. Sports fans appreciate salary conservativeness. Those NFL and NBA franchises are able to have high salary caps because they're so profitable. They have more fans than baseball and especially NHL. NHL isn't something most people can relate to. It's not easy to go outside, put on a pair of ice skates and play hockey with your friends unlike football or basketball. Players have to provoke fights all the time just to get mediocre ratings and ticket sales! If fans cared that much about conservative salaries, endorsements wouldn't be as effective as they are. LeBron is accused of being a sell out but that's because he's abandoning his home town. No matter where he goes, overall it's still good for business as far as the NBA is concerned.
January 5, 200916 yr Blue Ash is a pretty upscale suburb - I doubt there's very many slumlords. There are areas of older cape cods and small houses surrounding Downtown Blue Ash...think like Deer Park and Dillonvale era housing. Here's my take: If the ball landed in her yard only a few times then yes the family has a beef. Knowing how kids are, they probably did provoke the old lady repeatedly. Everyone probably had someone in their neighborhood that was old and cranky and they all liked to get their goat. I fault the kids parents. In this age of entitlement and "my kids are never wrong" etc. the parents had the gall to call the police. If it were my kids, I would have said "Its your own d**m fault for continuing to kick the ball over the fence, you can go over their and apologize and try to get your ball back!". Of course, these are probably "helicopter parents" in the making

Of course, these are probably "helicopter parents" in the making Thank you mr. sparkle. As my mother used to say to my brother when he would lose something or leave it at someone else's house, "if you really wanted it, you would have kept up with it like a responsible person. No, I'm not buying another X, and don't ask your Papa because I said no. End of discussion." Keep in mind I'd hidden the item in just to phsycological terrorize him, but thats water under the bridge now. :evil:

January 5, 200916 yr I think there is something else. By 89, many people have something going on... Like undeground cockfighting rings. I guess I just hate old people. Launch them all to the moon like they did John Glen :clap: (Just kidding) From the wisdom of Homer: "Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless." or alternatively "Marge, please. Old people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so that it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use"

No...No..not at all. I love my brother to death. I really do. However, when we were teenagers is was world war III, parts A, B & C up in our house. He would physically threaten me and I'd physiologically abuse and blackmail him. Trust if he knew a ¼ of the things that I did to set him up as a kid, he'd probably think twice. :angel: :angel: :angel: But if you're going to leave evidence and be stupid enough to do things while I'm at home....then you must suffer the consequences. Nobody told you to hide girls in the downstairs bathroom when I have to walk right past it to get to the stairs near my room and she leaves here Hathaway Brown book bag in the mud room. It's not my fault my mom found, that girls school books, in her library. :angel: It's not my fault my mom told you not to drive her car and it better be in the same spot she left it when she returns. I might know how it moved from the left side of the garage to the middle and was backed in. :angel: When you don't listen to your parents, or follow their rules, bad things can happen to you. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
January 5, 200916 yr When you don't listen to your parents, or follow their rules, bad things can happen to you. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: And when you mess with the wrong person, even worse things can happen. Maybe not right away, but in due time ... Sometimes karma can use a little help. :angel:

January 7, 200916 yr Is it just me or does the recently elected - first openly gay mayor of a major city "Sam Adams" bear a striking resemblance to our very own... UncleRando? That's definitely UncleRando in 20 years! Except he'll be mayor of Cincinnati, not Portland.
January 7, 200916 yr That's definitely UncleRando in 20 years! ... You mean Uncle Rando will be gay in 20 years? :wink:

January 8, 200916 yr I thought the Mayor of San Fran was gay? And... Randy... gay??? Whoa, how did I miss this?

January 8, 200916 yr Stranger things have happened, he might not know hes gay - yet. LOL Some folks never know for sure. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I'm really straight. None of my attempts at gay relationships worked out, and then there's my penchant for working on tractors and other machinery, and plumbing and wiring and concrete and carpentry and welding. And I'm fashion-challenged. Or maybe I'm a transgendered lesbian ... :?

January 8, 200916 yr I thought the Mayor of San Fran was gay? And... Randy... gay??? Whoa, how did I miss this? Thye mayor of San Fran is not gay---he just supports gay marriage and gay rights. I would say he is "gay-friendly".
January 9, 200916 yr 4000th post! http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,6036.msg357596.html#msg357596
January 9, 200916 yr The mayor of San Fran is not gay---he just supports gay marriage and gay rights. I would say he is "gay-friendly". Gavin is like Tom Cruise... A Scientologist and closet homosexual. Seicer - I don't think SF has ever had an openly gay mayor. Though, believe it or not, there is a town in Oregon that currently has a trans-gendered mayor! That's #$%^ing crazy - not that there's anything wrong transgender people; I'm just surprised citizens voted for him/her. I love following west coast politics. It's such a media circus out there.
January 9, 200916 yr I can't believe I'm nearing 1000 posts. I feel like I haven't been on u/o that long
January 9, 200916 yr It's funny how midwesterners have long considered California a gay paradise. Wasn't Wisconsin the first to enact state legislation banning employment and housing discrimination based upon sexual orientation? I'm thinking California followed a parade of about a dozen other states in that regard.

Hell in LA alone there are some straight up homophobic folks.

I'm thinking California followed a parade of about a dozen other states in that regard. This is very true, and I think to some degree we're still a very open state. I would have no problem kissing my boyfriend in the middle of any main street in Wisconsin. I may get into an argument in northern WI, but even then it'd be a rational argument. Wisconsin has always been a very accepting place, we just like to keep a low profile.
January 9, 200916 yr Yeah, but California has got Harvey Milk, so i mean that probably has something to do with it? I still have to see that movie.
