December 12, 200915 yr Oh lol I was going to say...why am I telling you this? because you missed the part where I said I was flirting.
December 12, 200915 yr What do you expect me to like.. read the posts above before I start posting? Psshht.
December 13, 200915 yr What a boring @ss Saturday. I sat around all day babysitting a couple carpenters, and I'll spend most of tomorrow doing the same thing.
December 13, 200915 yr What a boring @ss Saturday. I sat around all day babysitting a couple carpenters, and I'll spend most of tomorrow doing the same thing. You rehabing a house or something?
December 13, 200915 yr I'm just gonna get drunk and watch The Grinch. That's the best thing I heard all day lmfao!!
December 13, 200915 yr You rehabing a house or something? Yes, but rather part of a house. Most of it is fine but there's this section that bridges the space between the house and the garage that's gone completely to hell from settling, ice daming, a malfunctioning storm-water pipe and an aging retaining wall.

December 13, 200915 yr Jeez, first Ft. Hood, now Mt. Hood?! I'm staying out of anything with hood in the name! PORTLAND, Ore. — Crews on Saturday found the body of a climber missing on Oregon's Mount Hood but two others were still missing more than a day after the three set out to climb the west side of the 11,000-foot peak, a sheriff's spokesman said. Jim Strovink, Clackamas County sheriff's spokesman, identified the climber who died as 26-year-old Luke T. Gullberg, of Des Moines, Wash. The remaining climbers still missing were identified as Anthony Vietti, 24, of Longview, Wash., and Katti Nolan, 29, of Portland. All three climbers have been described as experienced and well-equipped. Read more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/12/mount-hood-climbers-missi_n_390040.html

December 13, 200915 yr Has anybody noticed some of the threads getting a bit nasty lately? I took a beating on the Cleveland Asiatown thread recently and I just looked at the Cleveland Lakefront Development thread.....yeesh.

I took a beating on the Cleveland Asiatown thread recently and I just looked at the Cleveland Lakefront Development thread.....yeesh. What exactly do you mean? Are you pointing to a particular person/post? If you're referring to my post, I'm not being nasty. I'm just to the point.
December 13, 200915 yr Just went back and read that thread, hardly a beating! The poster brought it upon them self. Do a little research before posting so ridiculous!

December 14, 200915 yr I am awarding a huge FAIL to the GAP cheerleader commercials. Don't invite Kanye to the ceremony. What's wrong with the commercial? I think all Gap comemrcials are lame.

December 14, 200915 yr Pacino > any other actor. His 'out of order' speeches are incredible. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. The last line is hilarious! YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

We can't relocate him from that sector until April 15th, 2011. I know, I know. It's such a bureaucracy. I think that sector is in Bette Midler's district. You could try to petition one of her interns for an emergency relocation.
December 14, 200915 yr all the threads on the first page of Urban Bar right now look like someone is setting up a huge phishing scheme.

December 15, 200915 yr By request here's a few photos from my home. I may or may not be holding the camera level but that angle on the interior entryway isn't exaggerated by the camera. New tile, new doors, the hardware on the doors will eventually match, carpet is being replace by wood of some type in the future, window will be replaced later on, and the walls will have something else done to them (they currently have a stucco like plaster treatment). This is the kitchen; literally, the only things staying in this shot are the small appliances. This angle at least makes it look like an inhabitable room. You may recall I had a water disaster here a while back, which is why it's getting overhauled. This shot has the miniature lighthouse (as per my comment in the "lovely" christmas photo thread). It's the brighter light just off to the right of center. No different than the other lights except that it spins, which makes all the difference. I'll think about getting around to a day shot when it snows and looks pretty. bonus backyard night shot
December 15, 200915 yr The South Butt, hehe. "The North Face made good on its threat to sue The South Butt. The international apparel maker filed a federal lawsuit in St. Louis late last week alleging trademark infringement by The South Butt, a Ladue-based company started by a teenager to make fun of The North Face name." more at: http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/business/stories.nsf/story/03E9ACA33F9AF47B8625768D0006EA3D?OpenDocument#tp_newCommentAnchor
December 15, 200915 yr I went to Rhodes Tower today and all I have to say is this: If they're going to sell lottery tickets from tacky lottery machines in a government office tower's breakrooms to promote funding, they should also sell liquor and beer to promote the beer and liquor tax! Consistency dangit - consistency. No but seriously, how tacky is that? And people were worried about the City Center site for the casino being too close to the statehouse as it would serve as a symbol of how politicians were bought. Give me a break.
December 16, 200915 yr ^^ lol @ the reactions when he kept bringing up the polygraph test. I know lol but the last line is still the best. *Pacino goes on an 8 minute tirade about his own corrupt client, then security hauls him away while he's kicking and screaming, followed by "Wait, I've only completed my opening statement!!" lololol

The North Face just gave a lot of publicity to the South Butt!
December 17, 200915 yr I know I'm a terrible person to say this, but I really wish vendors wouldn't give gifts at the holiday season. They hardly know me as a person, and so the gifts are usually just a waste of money. Someone gave me a pointsetta earlier in the week. I just hate them, and I have no place in my workstation for a plant so I had to put it in the coffee room. Maybe someone else will find it cheerful. Someone also usually sends me a big box of chocolates, which is the last thing I need to eat when I'm still trying to lose all the baby weight, so that just gets put into the coffee room too. I had one vendor for awhile who knew me pretty well as a person, and they actually gave thoughtful gifts that I really enjoyed (which have since stopped due to the economy), but you know, a $55 silver tray from Bloomingdale's (received yesterday from another vendor) could not be more unlike something I would ever want or use. If it were a cheap frame or something, I would re-gift it somewhere, or just donate it, but $55 tray I'm like gee, I wonder if I can get Macy's to take this back for store credit. I know, terrible, right?
December 17, 200915 yr I agree. I cannot and will not accept gifts. Two years ago one of our vendors gave my staff NY, CHI and DC $125 gift cards. I had to have them collected and sent back as it could come across as a bribe. ETA: I just received a crate of wine from a vendor. I rarely drink.
December 17, 200915 yr Taekwondo monkeys attack trainer ..But the money-spinning primates turned the tables on their trainer when he slipped during a show, with one quick-thinking monkey flooring him with a kick to the head. Hu Luang, 32, a bystander who photographed the incident, said: "I saw one punch him in the eye - he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose. They were leaping and jumping all over the place. It was better than a Bruce Lee film." At one point the monkey trainer grabbed a staff to hit the monkeys, only to find himself facing a stick-brandishing monkey that cracked him over the head.

December 17, 200915 yr I know, I know, I'm a heel for complaining about free gifts. I'm a scrooge. It's shitty. AJ93, the way we get the gifts is by spending LOTS of money with these companies. I joked with my co-worker that this must be the most expensive pointsettia ever, as it cost about $10,000.

A couple years ago, my assistant help a lady with a problem, she sent him a certificate for a spa day at a super super upscale spa. They got free rental car vouchers. The only thing I wouldnt allow them to keep was the $2,500 gift certs from a certain dept store.

From where I stand, that is not a difficult decision to make. Considering the swag and access to stuff they have, they didn't make much noise. People dont realize, Assistants have a lot of pull. Anytime a restaurant opens, the two of them are on the list. Social Events, premiers, parties, sporting events, they're there. Hell there must be 200 holiday cards on the register that they need to organize and write thank you notes for.
