THL lives in Jersey, DIBS.
cobblehiller, did you make any snowpeople with half-me?
“Wow, somebody must really be smitten with me to not only remember everything I say but to actually go all the way back to September 2 to dig up an old post of mine. It’s very flattering.â€
You then must be really smitten with ‘the what’, because you’ve previously gone back and dug up some of his posts and cited them. Shall I remind you? ‘The What’ must be very flattering….to you!!
As of 3:45pm, 50% of your posts today reference me, while 32% of my posts reference you! Would you like a spreadsheet?
ARE YOU SMITTEN with ME?!?!?!
Now grow up and come to Bay Ridge!
It has more or less stopped. About 2 inches in Windsor Terrace, rather pretty…
It’s really slushy here Dave, heavy wet stuff, I was just out in it.
how much has stuck in Brooklyn THL??
I’m headed to Philly and won’t get it done but I see from the map that ice mix is coming fast and rain behind it
thanks
Owww…
Just got done shoveling mine, and my two elderly neighbors stoops and sidewalks.
Last time there was a snowstorm I was in Vegas while my husband was left to fend for himself. I figured I’d win some major brownie points if I got it done before he gets home.
It’s so pretty out there!

On the other hand, I can’t be bothered to go back a few days to the zinger DIBS hit you with regarding the fact you’ll never grow up.
Listen to your teacher. Repeat after me:
I won’t grow up,
(I won’t grow up)
I don’t want to go to school.
(I don’t want to go to school)
Just to learn to be a parrot,
(Just to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule.
(And recite a silly rule)
If growing up means
It would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not I,
Not me!
Not me!
I won’t grow up,
(I won’t grow up)
I don’t want to wear a tie.
(I don’t want to wear a tie)
And a serious expression
(And a serious expression)
In the middle of July.
(In the middle of July)
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air,
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me,
Not I,
Not me!
So there!
Never gonna be a man,
I won’t!
Like to see somebody try
And make me.
Anyone who wants to try
And make me turn into a man,
Catch me if you can.
I won’t grow up.
Not a penny will I pinch.
I will never grow a mustache,
Or a fraction of an inch.
‘Cause growing up is awfuller
Than all the awful things that ever were.
I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up,
No sir,
Not I,
Not me,
So there!
“But then it wouldn’t be in Bay Ridge!”
“The house AND you make the nabe look very schlocky.”
Watch it, Biff. Your own words will come back to haunt you!!

“Off topic – bayridgegirl, I was in your hood yesterday enjoying the park and admiring some wonderful homes. I also saw the “Gingerbread House”, which I’ve decided I want to live in one day when I grow up.
