  1. rf, try my mechanic on Clinton Ave (next to clinton ave entrance into Navy Yard). dude installed an ultra expensive Porsche alignment, balancing, etc. system but charges regular rates – cause he likes to treat his customers well (no complaining from me). Go to the one next to the gas station (vs. the opposite side handles mainly big trucks)

  2. I have a great story about ending up at “weight reduction” spa, by accident, in Stroudsburg once upon a time. Just to frame out the story a bit. I was about 30 lbs. thinner than I am now.

  3. Rob, if you were actually good at gathering a coalition to vote that, it might just work. Luckily for this parent, your brooklyn park protest outcome gave me extreme confidence there’s nothing to fear

  4. Rob, the 4,680 you will be paying for cigarettes is after paying income tax so take your tax rate (x% plus 100) times
    4,680 and that is your pre-tax cost of smoking.

    Advantages of quitting smoking:

    –Financial
    –Aesthetic (no more yellow walls, teeth, smell, you get the idea)
    –Your skin changes (goes from poor circulation to good and your skin gets brighter, no matter what your natural skin tone is)
    –Your taste buds come alive again (Food tastes really good again).
    –Better dental health
    –Voice (Your voice will change. You lose raspiness and your voice becomes smoother and nicer. Your singing will improve).
    –No coughing
    –You are no longer an addict (makes you feel good).
    –You will be a better athlete (if that means something to you)
    –You have a much better shot against heart disease, stroke, periodontal disease, cancer, emphesema (sp), bronchitis, COPD (the really serious stuff)

    My public announcement of the day. And if anyone wants to quit, I will be your cheerleader.

  5. Rob;

    Perhaps a better town to go to is Stroudsburg, PA. It’s closer to NYC (just over the NJ border) and has a large, pleasant historic downtown. Stroudsburg used to be a major city when coal was king in that part of PA.
