I had a bear named “Schlumpy” when I was very little. That bear was smeared with food – I distinctly remember him smelling like Funny Bones – and threadbare and torn. Our housekeeper patched and patched and patched him. Toward the end of his life, I’m quite certain he was more patch than bear. So, my parents went to Europe in 1966, and this woman who had been my baby nurse stayed with us because our housekeeper, a real member of the family for 18 years, didn’t drive. The baby nurse decided she knew what was best for me, and she threw Schlumpy in the garbage. Our housekeeper retrieved him. On our housekeeper’s day off – Thursday, garbage day as it happened – the baby nurse again threw Schlumpy in the trash and made sure that “the trashmen” carted him away. Way to traumatize a 2 year old.
arent bay ridge and brooklyn heights on completely opposite ends of the island? where are you getting that they are connected? unless you mean culturally? i dont even see how that makes sense either.

benson, in some areas I’m actually farther to the right than conservatives. I generally vote Libertarian when I can afford to let my vote go. Libertarians are actually the only consistent political philosophy, when you think about it. And I don’t mean a phony Libertarian like Ron Paul.
Under a libertarian guvment, the whole social/religious mess is done and over. A woman has the right to choose what she does with her body, and what she does with it would be btw her and her doctor. It would be quite possible to see gay marriage, as a libertarian guvment wouldn’t interfere with a contract btw two people. Cartainly the guvment wouldn’t interfere with what two or more people do in the bedroom.
Under a libertarian guvment, we would pull all our troops from overseas unless they are needed for direct defense of the homeland. And that would be _direct_ defense. We wouldn’t be at war with the Arab world, we’d just buy their oil and live in peace like the Scandinavian countries do. We wouldn’t be pouring money into Israel and selling them weapons, so that would remove another huge flashpoint.
This alone would practically balance the budget.
Of course that leaves many issues, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental issues, and so on.
Let’s see how many closet Libertarians there are out there!
I just learned some insider gossip about a place that would make that carriage house look like a bungalow, although it’s still just the second most outrageous housing price story I have a connection with. I’ll spill tomorrow.
“I’ll spill tomorrow.”
Perfect! Legion is bringing the condoms.
‘slumpy’ = schlumpy

Atlantic is the southern boundary of BH. BR? That’s a new one on me.

how far is No Exit from Long Island College Hosp.?
“to call it an extension of BR is utterly ridiculous.”

I don’t consider Atlantic Ave part of BH but to call it an extension of BR is utterly ridiculous.
