Hmmm…we’ve spent a lot of time on trash talk (my bad!). I liked it better when we were discussing food! Besides, it’s almost lunch time 🙂 What’s everyone having? Besides brownies that is!
M4L- I agree, but if you recall, all of those groups have struck in the past, allowed or not. Transit workers are not allowed to strike- and they did anyway.
as long as Yankees don’t play angels in the playoffs, they’ll be fine. Yanks have proven to be able to beat the Sox when it counts in the playoffs – not so against the Angels.
bxgrl, my issue is sanitation can and DOES strike to ask for big raises on top of already leading-the-pack salaries while teachers, firemen, policemen,.. cant strike. Because their salaries come from the same budget, I don’t like the fact my tax dollars are allocated this way.
DOS has been doing a ticketing blitz in the area and I think maybe I’m just next on their list of folks to try and get a buck out of (more like 300!). Slopefarm…I did report it as a missed pickup…that’s when the twit sent it to the Manhattan district office for DOS…the Manhattan district superintendent called me and when he discovered I didn’t live in Manhattan, he told me to call 311 again because by the time I get home I’ll likely have a summons since 311 effed up the info and the trash has been sitting there since Sunday night and the Brooklyn office will have no record of my complaint thanks to the 311 ninny’s screw up.
I’m having leftover ravioli’s from last night.

Indeed, Biff there are challenges to overcome. I repeat – it’s only July. We will see those teams (Red Sox/Angels) again.

What, does that mean you don’t want to go in on LeAnne Rimes house in TN?
Personally, I think the fresh country air might do us all a bit of good.
ENY, good idea, especially since they haven’t exactly done too well against you-know-who this season!
