... you can't eat donuts all the time ...

 

Balanced diet = donuts + cookies + cake + pie + ice cream + coffee  :-D

There are 7 subway locations within 4 miles of my home, so no surprise here.

 

Cleveland is the Subway capital of the US!

 

 

I don't mind subway. It's reasonably priced, you get your food quick and they have some good sandwiches, (my favorite is the sweet onion teriyaki ...mmmmm). A lot of Subway locations are hit or miss IMO since they're independently owned and the service varies so much. Some of the people who work there are straight up @ssholes!. At least in Columbus.

 

That reminds me, Downtown Columbus sucks as far as cheap lunch options. There seems to be a Subway on every corner. And a Potbelly (yawn). Dunkin Donuts (yawn). Dunkin Donuts does have really good donuts (I like thte Boston Creme filled chocolate donuts) but you can't eat donuts all the time. We need a Chipotle. Or Panda Express.

 

There technically is a Chipotle in downtown Columbus (off Nationwide Blvd).

 

Yeah right, if I'm catching a bus at Broad and High I'm not walking up to the Arena District for a d@mn burrito lol

That's on YOU, partnah!

Where has Uncle Rando been.  I haven't seen him post in a while.

We manufacture a lot of DVD's for teams and sports leagues and this came in my weekly delivery of home entertainment products

My deceitful assistants separated it from the other items, wrapped it up in a new box with a terrible towel. 

 

I open it, thinking it's a gift from someone.  I should have been tipped of the "three rivers stadium" address.  I promptly threw that package in the trash!

 

I hate those two douchebags!  :whip:

No, I'm taller with better taste.  I wouldn't make him walk to brookyn he would take the car.  It would just be a Miranda Priestly power move.

 

I worked for him when I was in between jobs as a consultant.  I've worked with him on other projects as well.

 

There will always be people that want to work for people like him.  A good example of why people want to work for "personalities" is the car scene in a devil wears prada when Miranda says to Andy, "I see a lot of myself in you."  "Everyone wants this....".

E-mail leak turns up heat on global warming advocates

By Herald staff

Saturday, November 21, 2009 - Updated 7h ago

 

In an embarrassing blow to the movement to combat global warming, hackers have posted hundreds of e-mails from a world-renowned British institute that show researchers colluding to exaggerate warming and undermine skeptics.

 

University of East Anglia officials confirmed the Climate Research Unit’s e-mails were hacked, but were unable to confirm the veracity of posted content, according to British and American news reports. Skeptics of human-caused warming, who note temperatures appear to have stopped climbing, called the news explosive.

 

“This is not a smoking gun, this is a mushroom cloud,” climatologist Patrick J. Michaels told the New York Times [NYT]

 

The Times contacted researchers who confirmed they had sent or received some of the most damning e-mails, including a discussion of how to use a “trick” to configure scientific data to “hide the decline.”

This girl I know who is a fashion design major loves that movie. I watched it with her a couple years back and thought it was really good. Not just a corny chick flick.

Actually, it is in the "To Be Cleaned" thread. I will work on that thread next, since it is so important to you. Or perhaps you wouldn't mind giving us a hand by cleaning it up yourself?

I promise I'll help more with the clean up within the next few days. Once I really go at it, I'll get a lot cleared out.

Speaking of urban bars: why are so many geared toward one narrow demographic? Very few attract a mixed crowd. They're basically either full of bros or sports fans or yuppies or queens or hipsters, the latter which is by far better than the former four since many are artists and musicians making this city a better place, but I like a bit of variety in the clientele, perhaps since I don't really fit into one category. Is anyone else as picky about their bar scene(s)?

Im going to disagree.  I dont want to go to a bar, and have to "guess" what team you play for nor do I want to be hit on by women.  I don't have time for that.

 

Like the old Traxx in Cleveland, it was such a mixed bag. I was in a relationship at the time so I would go just to dance, but I have friends and relatives that would go and have to ask a person, "are you straight or gay?", "eastside or westside?"  it's too much!  I want to know whats up before hand!!!

That movie has Anne Hathaway, right? She's one of the hottest chicks in America. Anything with her is worth watching. Best though is "Havoc"...

 

It was all at Meryl and the clothes!  The sad part about that movie is that some of the most scathing scenes were deleted.  The Calvin Klein scene lays me out!  When I'm in a bad mood, I pop this DVD in and I instantly cheer up!

I will volunteer to "clean" the GW thread.  I suppose that I would need some special "temporary admin" priveledges.

I must be in the minority. She looks like a horse to me. Every movie I see her in I feel the need to feed her a salt lick. Movie was fun, though. Worth it for the scenes with Meryl.

^No, I totally agree.  I have never found Anne Hathaway to be attractive. OK, maybe she's "pretty", but I'm not into her at all.

With some crisco and a fishing wire, I can fix that!!

Why must kids grow up????! 

 

We all know Christmas is for kids and I enjoy all our ridiculous family traditions, going to pick out the tree, me putting the star on top (an expert since 1971), watching my father pretend to be Santa for the kids, staying up and putting stuff under the tree so the kids can run down and scream on xmas morning like my brother and I once did, being the official food taste tester, the build a snowman competition.

 

Now that will all be a distant memory as my 8 year old nephew just informed me that he no longer believes in Santa Claus.  :o :'(  I'm devastated.

 

I remember what christmas was like when my brother and I stopped believing in Santa.  It became boring, there was no build-up or anticipation, just gifts under the tree.  The only thing I still get to do, is jump on my parents bed on Christmas morning and scream, "Mami, Papa...Santas been here....Ahora venido.  Mire, mire!"

 

When my brother and the kids lived with me, those were the best christmas', I love getting everything ready.  When the two oldest kids top believing in Santa, the younger three did.

 

What'ta do??  sigh.

^ Convince them that you used your status as a yenta and got special permission to have Hanukkah Harry start coming over,  . He's very plausible.

AJ, way to pull Hanukkah Harry out..

 

Here have some socks...

 

MTS you are welcome to come over and partake in the blizzard of wrapping paper flying that is Christmas Morning at my house with my three boys.

 

But no jumping on my bed.

That's a deal breaker!!    You sound like my mom. 

Yeah that will be a sad day when my kids would rather sleep in on Christmas Day. I do all sorts of things to mess with them, like sooty boot prints, etc. throwing half eaten carrots that were left out for the reindeer in the yard. My roof is too steep to go out on and put fake sleigh tracks in the snow though...

thats the fun part.  just seeing their little faces.  Now the three oldest only ask for cash, clothes and other teen hipster gadgets.  The younger two still like stuff.  The only specific things they ask for are cavs and indians tickets and my youngest nephew is still campaigning for a dog.

A dog? I've got two. Take your pick! Pick either one and you are getting the second one thrown in for free!

He's been outvoted, in a family vote, 6-1.  He wants a dog, but isn't responsible enough to take care of one. 

I was in downtown St. Louis this past weekend and remembered that I had read the downtown Macy's was being shrunk from 7 floors to 3 after this holiday season.  I also remembered (from when I was a little kid) that they had some pretty friggin sweet old escalators in the upper floors.  Since we had a little extra time between appointments, I told my parents I wanted to go ride the escalators one last time.  They looked at me kinda funny and agreed it would be nostalgic.  The escalators between floors 1-4 have been replaced recently (I'm assuming this downsizing has been a while in coming now), but the ones above that are original.  The escalator from 4-5 is a stainless steel art-deco looking structure, and the top two escalators are what looks like mahogany (one is pictured below) and are rather skinny and rickety to ride up and down on.  I wonder what will become of them.....

those appear similar to the older ones in Macy's Herald Square, some of which even have wooden steps. The ones in St. Louis probably had them too originally.

Just like they had in Higbee's downtown from TC to the mens store then the prospect level to the main building.  Ahhhh, the memories.....

 

 

Apparently someone made a youtube video of riding the escalators (when it was Famous Barr before Macy's took over May Co.)

Anybody else besides me having a really difficult time getting work done today? I have no deadlines and I am a bit sleep deprived from working on remodelling my kitchen. So making myself be productive seems to be a losing battle today. All that I can think about is getting out of here for the long weekend.

 

Damn you Urban Ohio and the internet!

Mrs. Grumpy just shared a fun story about our 20 month old. Apparently he was bored a few minutes ago, so he dragged his rocking horse from his room to the baby gate that's supposed to be keeping him out of the kitchen. He then used the rocking horse as a step to boose himself over the gate. Then he dragged a kitchen chair across the room to the oven (where pumpkin pie was baking for tomorrow), used the chair as a ladder and climbed up to the controls for the oven. He then locked the oven and turned it to self cleaning mode. Noticing that he was playing fairly quietly Mrs. Grumpy became suspicious and came running, but not before the pie turned black and the little monkey had managed to get the fridge door open. (Fortunately he hadn't made a mess in the fridge yet.)
