JuanitaTech how’s the baby? What did you have?
CJ (who is now Seige– I think) didja like the Bill Moyer’s video? What did you think of it?
Stuffy, how’d the delayed anniversary go? What about that disaster job?
LolaCocaCola didja go to court and fight illegal walking ticket you got? How do you get one of those in NYC?
I know I had more that I’ll remember after I hit submit. Who else got personal questions?
Biggirl, are you bringing the family?
racinchikki, how’s plans for the move coming?
Aguecheek, have you overdosed on Tim’s yet?
And your knee. How’s your knee?
Aw, he’s fat and fine, Biggirl. Fat and fine. He got two widdle teefs (that’s teeth for you non-parents) on Memorial Day. Yep, they came via FedEx and we installed them the same day.
Can you believe he’s starting to crawl? Already?!?!
Here are pics from a couple of months ago. I guess I’d better get my ass in gere and post more recent pics.
Wow! I can’t believe you remembered that! My infamous jaywalking ticket! heheh
Welp, lets see…first, how did I get a jaywalking ticket in NYC? I was visiting my friend in LIC who lives by MomaQns. I was crossing Queens Blvd. The coast was quite clear car-wise. I saw the cop car parked on the other side of the street and didn’t think twice about it becuz EVERYONE, including cops, jaywalk in NY! When I got to the other side of the street, Mr. Policeman says something like “Miss, do you know how many people get killed on Queens Blvd each year…bla bla bla…” He proceeds to give me a ticket, even telling me the judge will probably throw it out. I then realized it was some sort of jaywalking sting operation they had on Queens Blvd that day, cuz I noticed them giving out tickets to many people as I walked away. I even read about it in the paper, how they gave hundreds of jaywalkers tickets on Queens Blvd…something about drumming up revenue for the city. :rolleyes:
Anyway, the pain in the ass was you couldn’t just mail in the fine, you had to show up at the actual courthouse (along with the hundreds of other jaywalkers). I paid a $20 fine. Bastards.
The moral of the story is I am happily jaywalking to this very day, 'cept I don’t do it when I see a police man around. 
I hope this brings you closure. 
Sorry, I can’t think of any questions to ask right now…I shall ponder it and come back.
He’s adorable Juanita. Now I gotta ask-- do you let white stylists do his hair?
Gingy, the girl is not coming. She got a better offer and dumped us in a hot minute. One of her best friends (she’s got thousands) is having her own birthday barbeque on the same day. Says Heartache: “Mommy, would you rather go to your best friend’s birthday party or to some strange place with a bunch of strangers?” I couldn’t argue with that logic.
The knee is as good as its gonna get until I get enough sick time and courage to have it operated on.
You know you can get a ticket in NYC for farting in public these days, right Lola?
tdn, did you ever get your ActiveX page to load?
Well, I would not be surprised if farting tickets are in our near future. Especially after reading last sunday’s New York Times (The City section), in particular the article about the smoking ban. They had a picture of a sign outside of a office building saying “No Smoking - Smoking is permitted in the breezeway at the rear entrance to this building.”
Now, I do not smoke anymore, but a breezeway, fer crying out loud!?! Next they will have signs saying “You may only smoke outside this building if the winds are coming from a Nor’easterly direction at 25 knots.”
Puh-leeeeease!
Thanks, Biggirl. He takes after his mommy, of course.
Are you all settled in in your new place? Do you still have your container garden? Complete with baby squirrel tail? Tell the truth, you moved to a place with less Jags, didn’t you?
You’ve got a looooong memory there, Juanita.
The Jags are gone. They’ve been replaced by Hummers. The container garden is also no more since my new windows do not have ledges and the fire escape is in my anti-social daughter’s bedroom. My family and our boxes are learning to live peacefully together. We’re thinking of adopting the boxes. I am still petrified of nature though.
I don’t remember who posted it, but I wonder if they ever found out who took the crap in the work elevator.
I plan on restarting my container garden this Sunday, Biggirl. If you ever want some fresh basil, rosemary or sage, you just let me know and I’ll overnight some to you.
Living out of bags and boxes was terribly depressing. I don’t miss it one bit. If you decide to adopt the boxes, be sure to let me know. I’m sure there’s a card somewhere out there for such an occassion and I love send cards.
I have an apartment down there. I think I arranged for the electricity to be turned on, but I never actually spoke to a human representative of the power company so who knows. I guess I’ll find out when I get there and plug in a fan. I am not packed yet, but I will be starting soon. As you saw in my LJ today, there’s a bit of a monetary quandary, but Gunslinger is assuring me that he’ll help support me if I need him to, so I suppose things are going on as planned. I’m supposed to be getting transferred to the Staples in Nacogdoches, and my general manager keeps calling them, but they haven’t called him back yet, so we’ll see.
Thanks for asking.
How can you ever overdose on the manna that is Tim’s? It’s my special work coffee, make m’self a cup every day and drink it out of my “Minister of Silly Walks” mug. Nummers.
Did something happen to my knee?
I forgot to tell you: we never got up to Victoria to take advantage of that wonderful free weekend, ‘cause my wife’s boss wouldn’t let her have one. stinkin’. day. off, so I couldn’t get the t-shirt for you. Sorry. I gotta visit my Granny soon though, so I’ll see what I can find.
You getting used to those incredibly disgusting MD summers yet?
**Biggirl,**what happened after the explosions sent the manhole covers flying? Has it happened again?
