dona, If you hard drive is over-heating, and your system is crashing (which happened to me with my Mac last Sept.) it may be that the fan isn’t working? Hot hard drive = bad. In which case, you may want to make sure everything is backed-up and then some, in case the machine fails permanently! Which also happened to my machine last Sept.! Fortunately, BH is a GENIUS and was able to retrieve and transfer all my data to the new machine and set up an automatic back-up system for me. (Have I mentioned how much I love this man, lately?)
so the gate in park slope has officially banned strollers. did anyone read about that?
The Gate Joins Park Slope Stroller Ban
The bars in Brooklyn have been leaning towards siding with the stroller-less set for years—one by one, it’s been like watching dominoes fall in super slow motion. In January 2008, Union Hall put up a “No Strollers Please” sign on their door, only to be met by outraged Park Slope parents. The stroller war has raged on in bars in the borough since (for a while there it even looked like Fornino may join in), and just this February Double Windsor instituted a stroller ban during certain hours. And now The Gate has fallen…
A Brooklynian poster saw this sign over the weekend (but we hear it’s been up since Memorial Day). It boldly declares:
NO STROLLERS FRIDAY THRU SUNDAY & HOLIDAYS
Sorry Friends, owing to severe stroller and chair overcrowding as of late, we are now enforcing a NO STROLLER policy on WEEKENDS & HOLIDAYS at The Gate
Will their Yelp rating gain or lose some stars after this move? In the past, one poster noted: “I do actually have a beef with the Gate, but it’s not their fault. It’s the people that bring their strollers and brood along with them while they booze it up. I wish parents would stop ruining everybody else’s fun by toting their babies everywhere. It’s a bar, people. No one wants to hear baby-talk and smell diapers while they’re having a drink with someone they’re trying to hook up with. Pay for a baby-sitter, you selfish Bjorn-jockeys!” [via Erica at FIPS, who endorses the new stroller ban, but notes that she can still bring her dog to The Gate]
hahaha….Legion. Cherry bombs, ashcans and packs of firecrackers set off all at once were the pyrotechnics of choice. I had a Chinese friend who always had a connection to get all kinds of stuff. The dog turd explosion sounds really Brooklyn. That belongs in a short story I think.
“Please keep her in your thoughts and send good vibes/prayers/whatever into the universe for her. Thanks :-)”
Will do, Snaps, it sounds like a very tough thing to face.
Major House Porn….rental of the Day….my friend’s house.
