Best Christmas Album of all time:
Robert Goulet- Wonderful World Of Christmas
…Oh those jingle bells won’t ring a single jingle baby…
Expert, can you swerve over at the last second from the Battery Tunnel lane?
Ditto, if you’re good at cutting people off, sure. I don’t have the balls to do stuff like that. BUT I won’t let people in either who do that! I don’t give them enough room to get in.
Over the weekend we were coming back from the city on the FDR in the right hand lane to get on the Brooklyn Bridge (it always backs up). A car cuts us off to get into the bridge lane. My partner was so furious, he gets into the left hand lane speeds up and cuts off the car that cut us off.
I was furious at partner. I hate road rage games like that.
yeah DH, that Rita’s gonna get hers for SURE. They seem to be making her character especially obnoxious this season. I bet Dexter has kills her in the end. And that gross nasty neighbor sub-plot. eeeewww!
Do turn into those reruns of 3rd Rock if you get a chance. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. Even better after a toke 🙂
hey CarGar!! I’m definitely coming to the Bellhouse gathering and bringing a friend, a longtime lurker.

I’ve multi-tasked many things in that car!

Note to self…Don’t even sit on the back seats of ET vehicle.
“I’ve multi-tasked many things in that car!”
I’ve been taken to task in the back seat of a car.
Heather, I would be the first to admit the Bedfordshire block is not one of our scenic wonders – but it could be! For many, the much contested shelter/proposed intake center at the Armory is a deal breaker. The city in its infinite wisdom dumps the men in the morning, locks the doors, and does not provide any kind of job training, social service programs, or even a lounge for them to go to, or be at, and the homeless hang around the area all day. The rest of the block, excluding the fabulous St. Bart’s church, looks much worse than it actually is. I live a block down, and walk that block all the time, and do not worry about anyone, it’s just people hanging out in the summer.
Amenities, however, are another story. You would be close to the subway at Nostrand/Fulton, and decently close to SuperFoodtown on Fulton/Brooklyn, which has excellent food choices, as well as the greengrocers, fish, meat markets, etc on Fulton. Restaurants and cafe’s, not so much. David’s Briskets on Nostrand, Atlantic/Herkimer has a great sammich, but you don’t go there for ambiance, just take away. A new coffee shop will be opening on my block, Pacific, Nostrand/NY soon, next to the new condos. There are a couple of places like Bush Babies on Fulton, and more opening up on Bedford on the Bed Stuy side. For any sit down dining, not including Applebees in Restoration Plaza, you’d have to head west towards Franklin, or south to Crow Hill Bistro, formerly Tavern on Nostrand. Sushi and Thai at Sushi Tatsu on Dean and Franklin would be the closest.
All in all, compared to 6 years ago, it’s a feast, compared to Park Slope, famine. But I still think it’s a great place to live.
