Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
I go out to take care of a few things and POOF, everything has gone to hell. Give me a good word folks! Something happy 🙂 Something snappy 🙂
Re:CAD, thanks BRG. I’d like to learn it someday, just because, but since I don’t have a Mac, I’m going to try these other programs. I appreciate the offer.
“Hi folks; Too busy today to join in the discussion, but just let me add a hearty “Here, here” to Nokilissa’s statement.”

That’s a 2-hour, 16-minute span, what, apparently making sure that the coast was clear. Don’t imagine for even a 1-minute span that I’ll be hooked by your addiction to conflict and negative attention. Just curious whether you’ve ever calculated how much of your wealth of vitriol will eventually fit through the eye of a needle…
Cowardly Lion: [singing] If I were king of the fore-e-e-est / Not queen, not duke, not prince / My regal robes of the fore-e-e-est / Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz / I’d command each thing, whether fish or fowl / With a r-r-ruff and a r-r-ruff, and a royal growl – R-R-Ruff! / As I click my heels / All the trees would kneel / And the mountains bow / And the bulls kowtow / And the sparrow would take wing / If I, if I were ki-i-i-i-ng! / The rabbits would show respect to me / The chipmunks genuflect to me / Though my tail would lash / I would show compash / For every underling / If I, if I were king / Just ki-i-i-i-ing!
Ummm, that should read “Yusef Hawkins”, not Hawkings. Yusef Hawkings must be Stephen’s younger brother.
What, you were writing in perfect, college educated, grammatical speech this morning, and were making some good points. The meds must have worn off big time, or you are the biggest phony here. Guess what most people believe?
Leave Benson alone. He and I may disagree on many things, but he is a class act, and I respect and like him. There are others far more deserving of being called out around here. Why not go after cornerbodega or prop joe? If you are looking for racists, go after the guys in white hoods, not the guy standing on the corner when they pass by.
Oh, and since I know you’ll go there, I’m looking for a full time position in this time of flux. That is not the same as being unemployed. I’ve been steadily working since Gerald Ford was president.
I’m sorry CH! The movie The Groove Tube was a staple during my stoner days. I get to reference back to it so rarely!
Here’s one you’ll enjoy (and it’s on topic!) Meet Bab’s and Roy:

Actually 1896- 1898 saw the biggest sleeves.
THL! STOP! That’s horrible!

Back in the day Rob worked at Uranus as a scientist on this very special product featured in the movie “Groove Tube”:
