Rob, have you ever read “Confederacy of Dunces”? Great book and you seriously remind me of the main character.
D-Cat, I told Rob the SAME EXACT THING a couple of weeks ago. DeLepp agreed with me as well.
” i just dont like her, i dont think she is a good fit with my dog.”
That’s an entirely different subject. Perhaps you can just ask her to stop by one evening so you can meet/talk and see if you actually dislike her vs. imagining you dislike her.
DCB, i just googled that book…
“The central character is Ignatius J. Reilly, an educated but slothful 30-year-old man still living with his mother”

Speaking of lines, I am delighted to report that one of my favorite merchants on Fulton St –David, who owns Deny’s — is starting to do a bang-up business. Lines!! He has lines!! I am happy to wait. His biz is growing. He has a great selection of pastries, and different foods — quiche, sandwiches, casseroles and very good coffee.
I love what a scappy hard worker he is too. The store is open from 7 am to 11 pm. He has a partner who is cooking (both cook) and I believe it is his wife — who does the cash register with him at busy times in the am.
LOVE IT! Also, I was not so happy about the HRA getting the lease at 470 Vanderbilt avenue, initially, but it will be good for the area, AND the merchants I have been hoping to see on Fulton Street.
COD, the irish bible. I always felt the “what’s” rants had a touch of ignatius j reilly rancor.

“a lot of line choosing comes down to stereotyping people, but 9 times out of 10 it works.

Change “n” to “f” in the fourth word and the sentence still works.
