Sun, Jul 10:58:39 6 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/jensgems/drama_just_road.html I am a total techno gal and seem to host my social life online by means of MSN messenger, Bebo and the likes. To be honest it is not that I never talk on the phone with three ankle biters constanly screaming and chasing you round the house when you are trying to hold a phone conversation is just a no brainer. Take yesterday....... I am getting quite friendly with another mum who's son will be in my son's class next year. We both signed the boys up for swimming lessons and by shear coincide ... Wed, 2 Jul 2008 11:57:34 GMT http://greasy.com/greatmartin/perfect_sunday_brunch_buffet_7.html The rainy season in Florida lasts from June to November. People know if they have to get anything done outdorrs they should do it before 1 PM as, most times, we will get a heavy rain around 2 and then about 5. When Allen picked me up the sky was clear and the sun was shining. After we had been eating for about a half hour the lighting and thunder started. There was a station out on the uncovered balcony where the chefs made the shrimp, lamb chops, grouper and chicken dishes. They obviously ...

I fell in love with this man and his authenticity shortly before I got rid of the TV.... 6+ years ago!! We need more m ... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 21:17:12 GMT http://greasy.com/jasmine14/galvestontexas.html A great place to visit would be Galveston, Texas. It has a beautiful beach and a wonderful waterpark to take the kids to. Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:31:04 GMT http://greasy.com/imaginaryfriend/expensive_mistake.html I got my first ever ticket. In the mail. I've been hearing the uproar in the local town about the new photo traffic enforcement. They are lurking around the 3 traffic lights and at stop signs, just waiting to mail you a ticket for the smallest error. Of course, if you run red lights, you deserve to get a whopping ticket, but the complaints are coming from the stop sign tickets. If you don't come to a complete stop (wheels stop turning), then you get a ticket for failing to stop. Truly, it ... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 04:39:14 GMT http://greasy.com/jondude/cool_farm_.html I have been running around photographing unique architecture here. This barn is legendary. It is constructed of locally-manufactured red brick (This area is underlaid with the type of clay you need to make and fire red brick and tile. Unfortunately, as the need for field tile and brick has declined, there are no more brickyards around here.) The original farm was a dairy. The cows must have enjoyed all the light those windows let into their abode. Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:09:47 GMT http://greasy.com/ucboy/tid_bits_lead_paintif_utica.html Here I am am back among my friends in front of the county building on Genesee St.It's a great little place to hang out here in Utica, it has benches and picnic tables and unless you start acting up they won't bother you. Of course it's a really great place to be on Monday nights, because they usually have musicians playing for Utica Monday Nights. Every Monday night they have different events all over the city to show people what the city has to offer..besides drug dealing, crime, and pros ... Sun, 1 Jun 2008 12:03:41 GMT http://greasy.com/greatmartin/citytoqn_different.html How do we make Greenville safe for our kids? By Leslie Johnson On Friday, a candlelight remembrance will be held downtown Greenville for Sean Kennedy, whose life was ended when a blow to his face broke many bones and sent him to the ground terminally damaging his brain stem. Sean was a beautiful young gay man and his attacker called him a vile word that some people think is all right to call a gay person. Sean's family still suffers from the horror of losing him in such a violent way, but ... Thu, 15 May 2008 21:21:07 GMT http://greasy.com/ucboy/utica.html As I sit here on a park bench, my "Price Chopper" shopping cart gleaming in the midday sun I sit typing on my laptop computer. It is a sunny late spring afternoon in this some time bustling metropolis population somewhere near 50,000 people. We have most things that the civilized citizen could want, 3 "Super Center Wal-Marts within 12 miles of each other, more pizza places then you could shake a stick at..in fact here in Utica you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a pizza place here. ... Tue, 13 May 2008 19:07:46 GMT http://greasy.com/draco/pedestrian_safety.html One thing I guess I would be is a self-appointed advocate of pedestrian safety. First of all, yes I am a pedestrian. I walk to work because I only live a few blocks away. Plus it is healthy and saves a bunch on fuel costs. My rant on this one is the fact that there is no safe place for people to walk over here. The main income source over here on the Oregon Coast is tourism. We would be dead without tourists. The bulk of souvenir shops are in the downtown area aka Oceanlake. Unfortunately ...

My truck's gas gauge was on 1/4 of a tank. I use the mid-grade, which was priced at $3.71 per gallon. When my tank is at this point, it takes somewhere around 14 gallon's to fill it up. When the pump showed 14 gallons had been pumped I began to slow it down, then to my surprise it went to 15, then 16. I even looked under my truck ... Mon, 5 May 2008 21:49:00 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/hell_the_conclusion.html Rabbit Hash, Ky. Lore has it that when the Ohio River flooded the Northern Kentucky hamlet of Carlton, rabbits scampered to higher ground for safety, straight in to the arms of hungry farmers ready to stew up some hash (rabbit hash, that is). In the 1840s, when the Carlton voting district needed a new name to avoid confusion with Carrolton, further downriver, Rabbit Hash “was a no-brainer,” in the words of area historian Don Clare. Rabbit Hash has no fixed boundaries or municipal gover ... Sun, 4 May 2008 18:07:11 GMT http://greasy.com/someday/wait.html I will be posting soon. I am waiting to move to Newport Beach. I'll be there in two weeks. There's something wrong with my mouse. There's also something wrong with my location. I'm presently in West Covina, California. I will write more later. It's pretty late, but I've had a lot to do. Sat, 3 May 2008 09:54:38 GMT http://greasy.com/whereabouts/look_deer.html Dinner Time in Eagle River, Wisconsin (Wisconsin community of Eagle River. ) These people living in Northern Wisconsin put some corn out in the dead of winter to sustain the area deer. When they said the deer up there were as thick as cats and dogs, they wasn't far off.

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:09:06 GMT http://greasy.com/draco/roker_idaho.html Al Roker is doing his annual charity event where he travels to several states giving to local charities. His first stop was in the state where I grew up, Idaho. He actually went to Rupert, Idaho, which is approximately 200 miles southeast from where I grew up. I agree with the charity he gave to, The Idaho Youth Ranch. My rant is that he thinks everyone from Idaho is a bunch of backwoods hicks. He dressed like a cowboy and called everyone cowpokes. For the record, I'm not a cowboy. I'm mor ... Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:22:45 GMT
